Ad Remembering Victims of Islamic Apartheid Deemed 'Hateful' by U.S. Campuses

PJ Media

March 8, 2013

Several newspapers reject the ad. Two apologize for it. And Tufts' President Anthony Monaco condemns it.

Every year, college campuses across the country hold a festival of hatred aimed at Jews and the Jewish state. Israeli Apartheid Week has become notorious for the targeted harassment of Jewish students, support for Hamas, and even physical violence. This year the David Horowitz Freedom Center responded to Israeli Apartheid Week with Islamic Apartheid Week. Unlike Israeli Apartheid Week, which is based on a lie, Islamic Apartheid Week addresses the sexism, homophobia, and religious bigotry threatening minorities in the Muslim world. To promote Islamic Apartheid Week, the Freedom Center attempted to place an advertisement in 40 college papers.

Adding Up to Failure

City Journal

Ed schools put diversity before math. A good education requires balance. Students should learn to appreciate a variety of cultures, sure, but they also need to know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

Judging from the courses that the nation's leading education colleges offer, however, balance isn't a goal. The schools place far more emphasis on the political and social ends of education than on the fundamentals.

Adolf Hitler, Dr. Zhivago, Columbine and CBS News

CBS has taken the very worst events in the history of homeschooling and painted them as the hidden culture and agenda of parents who choose to educate their own children.

I do not deny they happen, no more than I deny the existence of Adolf Hitler. However, the assertion that these are common events is no less ridiculous than saying that every politician is as bad as Hitler; using Dr. Zhivago as the poster child for the entire medical community; implying that every public school suffers from the same traumas and disasters as Columbine; or that every news organization is as irresponsible in their reporting as CBS. I don't claim that any of these are untrue, but very unlikely.

Tanya McDowell, who became a sympathetic national figure after being charged in April with stealing the education of her young son from the Norwalk school district.

Addressing nearly a dozen cameras outside the front of the Norwalk courthouse following McDowell's appearance, Crosland called the investigation that resulted in new charges for his client "retaliatory" because the community was embarrassed by McDowell's April 14 arrest for allegedly sending her son, A.J., to Norwalk's Brookside Elementary School while they lived in Bridgeport.

Affirmative Action = Discrimination Against Asians, NYC Schools Edition

reason.com

July 21, 2014

New York City politicians-including Mayor Bill de Blasio-want to change the admissions system for the city's nine highly-selective premiere public high schools, including nationally-renowned Stuyvesant High School.

The schools currently use a single exam, the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test, to determine admittance. Less than three percent of applicants are admitted to Stuyvesant. The problem, in the eyes of some, is that black and Latino students are increasingly underrepresented at the elite schools. So are white students. When a test score is the only criteria, it seems that Asian Americans are more likely than other racial groups to gain admission to Stuyvesant.

Affirmative Action on Life Support

The American Spectator

April 6, 2012

Isn't it past time that Martin Luther King's dream be recognized?

Monday was a banner day in jurisprudence: On that morning, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals -- the most overturned Court of Appeals in the nation -- actually got one right. In a ruling that relied more on precedent than on new analysis, the court's three-judge panel determined that California's ban on the use of race as a criterion in college admission was constitutional (both under the state and federal constitutions), notwithstanding that ending affirmative action caused a 50 percent drop in the number of minority students enrolled at UC Berkeley and UCLA.

AFL-CIO launches new ad campaign

CNS News

January 17, 2012

The AFL-CIO on Tuesday launched a new advertising campaign to promote unions as a voice for all working people, a move that comes amid declining membership and growing hostility to organized labor in a number of states.

The effort began with television ads airing in Pittsburgh and Austin, Texas, and will expand to Portland, Ore., and other cities in the coming months, officials said. The initial cost of the campaign is $1.5 million, but that is expected to increase as more cities are targeted. AFL-CIO officials say the ads use a fresh approach to highlight what unions stand for at a time of growing debate over income inequality.

AFL-CIO Trumka: Wisc. Governor 'Lucifer,' Will Support a Recall

September 30, 2011

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said that his union coalition would participate in a planned recall campaign targeting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) - a man Trumka referred to as "Lucifer."

"Would I support going after Lucifer?" Trumka said, after being asked if he would support a recall of Walker. "Let me think about that. That's a tough one. Of course we're gonna' be there." Trumka, taking questions after delivering a speech on jobs at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. said that Walker had "overreached" by using a "contrived deficit" to try to strip public-sector unions of their collective bargaining rights. "I mean, the guy has overreached, he's been a bad governor," said Trumka. "He tried to use a contrived deficit to take people out."
