No one has yet put it this way, so I guess I’ll be the first one: Professor Kevin MacDonald has the right to be racist. He has the right to burn the flag in his left hand and burn the Constitution in his right, all while singing the wrong words[Read More…]

Professors Karenga, MacDonald keep skeletons hidden in closet
When examining the relationship between a student and a teacher, it is quite an interesting subject that is often times one-sided. A teacher knows most of their students based on papers, test scores and class participation, but how much does the student really know about their teacher? Obviously teachers aren’t[Read More…]
Our View- Tea Party needs to push reform not revolution
The Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin give the notion that, given the existence of a “coastal America,” there is a “real” America that falls through the cracks, come election time. The only thing that unites this conservative movement is an adamant dismissal of a liberal agenda held by the[Read More…]
Right-wing religious fanatics need to understand consequences of their actions
It was May 31, 2009 when 67-year-old abortion provider George Tiller was shot dead while serving as an usher at his Lutheran church in Wichita, Kan.

Marylou Cabral, PSL hypocritical for criticizing MacDonald
Disclaimer: This is by no means whatsoever a statement of support for professor Kevin MacDonald. Rather this small narrative is a polemic directed at Marylou Cabral.

Letter to the Editor- MacDonald deserves freedom of speech
This is a letter supporting Professor Kevin MacDonald from an“elitist Jew.” Although I consider Professor MacDonald’s views to bef–king idiotic, the man has the right to speak his mind — whether it offends people or not. There is a risk you take when granting any sort of free speech: people[Read More…]
Obama paints false picture, blames GOP
On Wednesday President Barack Obama called on his Democratic allies in the United States Senate to lead in the face of Republican obstinacy. “We’ll call [Republicans] out when they say they want to work with us, and we extend a hand and get a fist in return,” said Obama, according[Read More…]
Our View- MacDonald talks of imaginary fire, causes panic
“The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic.” Any conception of freedom of speech has for decades been subsumed by these words; words eloquently phrased by associate justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. However, what Holmes’ opinion[Read More…]
