Conservative Student Magazine at UW-Madison Repeatedly Thrown in the Trash

Stacks of copies of this publication are being thrown into the trash. The left doesn’t want a debate.

UW-Madison vandals repeatedly throw stacks of students’ conservative magazine in trash

A relatively new center-right student publication at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is triggering some students and staff, as stacks of the magazine have been repeatedly and maliciously thrown away since last fall.

This week, stacks of The Madison Federalist were tossed in campus trash bins, just the latest incident in a string of dumpings, said student Ben Rothove, editor-in-chief.

“We have had suspected tossings since the first print edition of The Madison Federalist in February 2025,” Rothove told The College Fix in an email Thursday.

“However, our first confirmed tossing happened in October,” he said. “A university employee saw me refilling a stack that had been tossed. The employee then pulled me aside and told me that another staff member had tossed the stack. According to this employee, a small group of university staff members looked through the edition and mocked its contents.”

Rothove said the incident prompted the student journalists to begin to track the incidents, and provided The Fix with pictures of several acts of vandalism to the magazine.

“While we have had around a dozen suspected dumpings since then, we are only able to verify the ones where multiple editions were found in a trash or recycling bin,” Rothove said, adding that a typical stack has 10 to 20 copies.

The Left refuses to debate because they know their positions are indefensible. There has never been a Leftist policy or program that has succeeded in its stated goals.

What else would one expect of book-burning fascists?

The left is too hypocritical and stupid to be able to debate.

State university administrative employees are usually dregs who can’t find jobs in the private sector because they would never be able to produce the results required to meet the usual standards in an annual performance review. If the scale were a standard 1 to 5 scale, per se, most of them would probably balance out at a 2.1 at most. We’re talking about people who think “meets standards” is “outstanding” and complain/whinge when they wouldn’t be promoted because “they served their time” unexceptionally.
