Yiannopoulos Event and Protests Shocked Many Students

Milo's DePaul Event
Milo Yiannopoulos' now-infamous appearance at the DePaul University last 24 May 2016 was shut down early because of the loud, arrogant and discriminating protest by Black Lives Matter (BLM) radicals.

However, its aftershocks are still settling throughout the campus community as students struggle to reconcile their anger with the despicable ideologies of the very few rowdy students.

Maryland Conservative Group Finally Given Green Light

Conservative College Group
Many students in Maryland were ecstatic after their community college changed its policies to settle a lawsuit brought by a student who said the school prevented her from starting a conservative student group or even discussing the group on campus.

Moriah DeMartino, a 22-year-old student in her final year at the state-supported Hagerstown Community College, sued the school in February 2016 after it stopped her from opening a chapter of Turning Point USA (TPUSA).

Parents Sue Feds For Bathroom Blackmail

Bathroom Lawsuit
Fox News raised a very important question lately: "Do the rights of boys who identify as girls trump the rights of girls who are born girls?"

Bearded Man Could Enter The Girls Bathroom

Bearded Man
If the lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) community really thinks that they have totally won in their battle to force everyone to accept the, they better think again. The war against their despicable lifestyle, immoral behavior and insistence to use the opposite sex bathroom have just entered a local community college race in Dallas.

A campaign flier supporting Brad Underwood, who's running for the Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) board, features a man in a bra and a warning that he can use women's bathrooms on campus (shown above).

Forced Transgender Propaganda in School Thwarted

Transgender Propaganda Thwarted
Minnesota parents of a 5-year-old "transgender child" had the gall to file a complaint against a St. Paul charter school, alleging it failed to protect him from bullying and refused to teach all the students their preferred transgender-awareness curriculum.

David and Hannah Edwards, whose child was born a biological boy but now thinks he's a girl, has filed with the city's Department of Human Rights, ludicrously claiming their child "wasn't able to take full advantage of Nova’s educational opportunities because of her gender identity and expression. This violated her rights."

No More Free Expression in Cambridge?

Cambridge University
What is happening to Cambridge University? A few days ago, Jesus College removed a bronze cockerel over protests that the looted sculpture celebrated Britain’s colonial past. Now, students on the Junior Parlour Committee (JPC) at another Cambridge College have sparked controversy.

In an email, the Pembroke College JPC said they decided to cancel a party with the theme 'Around the World in 80 Days', "to avoid the potential for offense" because dressing up could lead to "cultural appropriation."

Another impressive story emerged from California a few days ago that could serve as an inspiration for other schools to emulate later.

Arab Education

Boys Cannot Use Girls Locker Room Legally

Locker Room
A few weeks ago, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights issued a report "slamming" a suburban Chicago school district for its handling of a question that now dominates headlines: should biological males who identify as female be allowed to use women’s locker rooms and bathrooms?

The Department of Education opined that denying access to the girls’ locker room for a Palatine, Illinois, teenage boy who identifies as a girl violated Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972.

Wisconsin School Bans Unwanted Transgender Book

Mt. Horeb School
Finally, a non-government group and supporter of majority's decision succeeded a few days ago to get the Wisconsin school district in the U.S. to ban an immoral a publication aimed at promoting mental disorder among young people.

The Mount Horeb Area School District announced that it is canceling plans to have students at the Mount Horeb Primary Center read the book the despicable and misleading "I Am Jazz." The school's principal had previously sent a letter home to parents informing them their children would be assigned the book, which is a story of a male kid who decided for whatever reason that he wants to dress as a female to satisfy some wild sexual fantasy.

Princeton Students Fighting Against "Political Correctness"

Princeton University
Diana Furchtgott-Roth of New York Post's Marketwatch had a very interesting article last 24 November 2015 about a large number of students at Princeton University in New Jersey who are fighting back against the "absurd political correctness."

In response to a sit-in of the university president’s office by 200 members of the Black Justice League, more than 1,300 members of the university community signed a petition to ensure that Princeton "maintains its commitment to free speech and open dialogue and condemns political correctness to the extent that it infringes upon those fundamental academic values."
