    Higher Education After October 7: Drain The Swamp

    In the immediate aftermath of the attacks of October 7, and now again during the spring, coordinated protests have spread through colleges and universities. The rapidity with which normal functioning was disrupted and the initial helplessness of administrators both point to fundamental weaknesses in higher education: I doubt that there can be a return to a pre-October 7 normalcy.

    Crucial, Not Cruel And Unusual: The Supreme Court Weighs Homelessness Regulations

    To address homelessness, cities around California and the US have tried to implement bans on camping on public property. But legal challenges have paused enforcement, and the Supreme Court is poised to rule in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson. At stake is the ability of public officials to craft nuanced policies that address homelessness.

    Bad Grades Good Idea

    YOU DECIDE: Which is doing a better job of public education, Arizona or Kentucky? Similar numbers of children attend school in the two states. About a quarter of them live in single-parent families. Arizona has more minority youngsters, but Kentucky has more below the poverty line. On the National Assessment of Educational Progress in 1992 and 1994, the two states had nearly identical (low) scores.

    Stanford's Censorship: An Interview With Dr. Scott Atlas

    Hoover Institution fellow Dr. Scott Atlas discusses his experiences with censorship at Stanford. Atlas notes that universities are supposed to be the centers for the free exchange of ideas. It's dangerous in Atlas's perspective that these campuses have turned into places where some professors are totally intolerant of views they don't agree with.

    “If there's no trouble with the Democratic National Convention, if nothing flares up in the fall, this will all be forgotten,” predicted Morris Fiorina, a professor at Stanford University. “On the other hand, if in fact, there is a major, major disruption at the Democratic Convention, if the campus problems fire up in the fall, then it's bad news for the Democrats.”

    The Substructures Of Chinese Grand Strategy, And Why Resolute US International Engagement Matters

    In this essay, Dr. Ford offers an account of China’s dream of Sinocentric global order and its implications. Explaining the theory of control upon which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) bases its power and influence, it describes the motivational structure behind Beijing’s grand strategy; the CCP’s strategic vision; how China aims to achieve that vision; and why sovereign peoples who prize their political autonomy and independence should care about these issues.

    Will RFK (Jr.) Hold Sway In California?

    As California hasn’t witnessed a competitive presidential race since the late 1980s and the twilight of the Reagan era, it’s tempting to assume that the Golden State yet again will not be a questionable factor in 2024’s outcome.
