WELL, YES. Harvard Is Still Anti-Semitic.

FIGHT THE POWER: $77 million antisemitism lawsuit filed against McMaster University.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Academics called breastfeeding ‘ethically problematic’ because it endorses ‘gender roles.’ Their view is gaining traction. Well, among morons.

MICHAEL WALSH: What If Trump Weren’t On The Ballot?

NORMS? WE DON’T HAVE THOSE ANY MORE. “The failure to disclose that Austin had been hospitalized for days was a breach of the norm in which health issues of senior government officials are released with alacrity.”

THE NEW SPACE RACE: ULA’s Vulcan rocket launches private US moon lander, 1st since Apollo, and human remains in debut flight.

All they have left is hate and fear.

UM: Okay – Now the Joint Chiefs Head Knew About Austin and Agreed to KEEP THE SECRET?!

NOTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY:

Preference falsification has been central to the trajectory of DEI. People who abhor DEI principles and methods came to favor these publicly through a preference cascade. Every instance of preference falsification induced others to pretend they consider DEI just, efficient,…

ONLY 4? 4 Ways The BLM And Antifa Riots Were Worse Than January 6.

Related: Steven Calabresi: The January 6th Riot Was Not Like the Civil War. “No rioter brought guns to the riot in a country, which is awash in privately owned guns. I am sure many members of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers owned guns, but they did not bring them to the ellipse on January 6th. The alleged ‘insurrection or rebellion’ lasted two and one half hours, peacefully dispersed on Donald Trump’s request, and occurred in one city in the third most populous country on earth after India and China. . . . The ‘insurrections or rebellions’ contemplated by Section Three must be threats to the government akin to that posed by the U.S. Civil War. The January 6, 2001 riot does not even remotely come close to reaching that level.”

Compared to what we saw from BLM and Antifa it wasn’t even a riot.

ICYMI: Josh Barro: Universities Are Not On The Level.

Related:

Universities are deeply financially vulnerable and highly dependent on federal funding and federal policy. The government has many levers it can use to defund universities—Federal Student Loans, Pell Grants, taxation, federal research funding from the NIH, NSF, or DARPA, control over student visas, Department of Education regulations, and civil rights investigations, and laws creating private rights of actions and litigation threats. These are not idle hypotheticals—the federal government has in fact already used many of these levers in the past, and high-level elected officials have made serious proposals to use others in the future.

The last time universities tangled with the federal government over moral issues, and Congress responded by threatening to cut funding, universities were forced to back down.

That was over the campus ROTC ban.

OPEN THREAD: It’s yours.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Peregrine mission, to launch Monday, will aid humans’ return to moon.

HE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW: James Pethokoukis: Billionaires dreaming of a sci-fi future is a good thing: Attacking techno-capitalists inspired by the stories of their youth is just ideological hugger-mugger.

Leftists hate anything they don’t control, and they can’t control a fast-moving future. That’s why they always opt for policies that promote stagnation.

Flashback: Be thankful tycoons like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are focused on space and moon bases.

YES.
