Poor turnout by Democratic base voters ensured McAuliffe defeat in Virginia

13. Ahhh..Larry Summers! BTW, how is that new "anti-woke" university that he's

a part of, coming along?

In the interest of truth, here are a few hard ones: the founders of the University of Austin have launched a website, not a university. They have no campus, no student body, no degree programs, no accreditation, no faculty and no army of graduate students and adjunct professors to do all the dirty work of actually, you know, teaching classes.

When I read the roster of academics attached to the University of Austin (or UATX as they apparently hope to be called) last week, I wondered whether any of those exalted figures would actually be resigning from their sinecures at such truth-abandoning institutions as Harvard, Brown, New York University (OP sidebar - my Dad's alma mater) and the University of Chicago. Over the past eight days – a lifetime, really, if you’re an eight-day-old baby – the “dedicated crew” has shrunk to a smattering.

If any of these free speech warriors wanted to actually take a stand for their stated beliefs, they would move to Texas, not to teach at a fake university, but to get a job at a public high school. They could then set about assigning their students to read one or more of the 850 “discomfort”-causing books that a state lawmaker, apparently invigorated by the anti–critical race theory movement promoted by Boghossian and Weiss, has placed on a list for investigation by the Texas Education Agency.
