Higher ed’s PC addiction

Political correctness is an addiction in higher education. Administrators can be counseled for wasting their productive hours and resources on such pointless, self-destructive behaviors, but sometimes it’s not enough. Sometimes they need an intervention.

Friends in high places

Remember the huge controversy brewed by congressional Democrats when president George W. Bush’s Justice Department dismissed seven U.S. attorneys on Dec. 7, 2006?

Beware of Democratic health care ‘reform’

Health coverage today is out of reach for too many American families. Approximately 182 million Americans currently receive some form of employer-sponsored health coverage.

The state’s education establishment wasn’t bashful about turning the 2009 Legislature into a hostage crisis. Nevada’s schoolchildren might as well have been bound, gagged, blindfolded and booby-trapped with explosives. Without massive tax increases, the teacher unions warned lawmakers and taxpayers, “the children” would face a horrible fate.

Do the feds own everything?

Utah’s U.S. senators say they want Congress to probe the actions of federal agents who arrested two dozen people — four of them older than 70 — June 10 in an investigation of the “theft” of ancient artifacts in the Four Corners region.

Today, the socialists have taught most Americans to expect lots of things — government schools, government fire and police protection — are and should be “free.”

Boondoggle averted?

A horrible recession is no time for reckless spending. It’s sound advice for common citizens and businesses, but especially wise for governments entrusted with our tax dollars.
