WYM ModHarry Litman reports a federal judge just gave President Trump a sharp lesson in the First Amendment, striking down his bid to control what West Point professors teach. The judge ruled the administration cannot force faculty to teach America is "the most powerful force for good" while banning critical discussions of history. Cadets need honest education, not political indoctrination.

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History May 22, 1968: New York police broke through the barricades at Columbia University, busting the student occupations there.

However, today’s student protests are bringing back the worst of 1960s-‘70s police brutality and university intolerance for Free Speech along with McCarthy era firing, blacklisting and doxing of academics for the crime of criticizing the Israeli government, under bogus claims of antisemitism.
