University Study: Schools safer than in the 90s, and school shootings not more common
on February 27, 2018
60 Comments
The subject of school safety has become a hot topic after Nikolas Cruz murdered 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. Arguments in favor of strict gun control are based on the claim, among other things, that there is an epidemic of school shootings that have increased in the past several decades.
Northeastern University released a study Monday, however, that calls that assumption into question. The study that found schools are still the safest spot for children. The study also found that school shootings aren't as actually common as portrayed in the media and are not as common as decades ago.

Anti-Israel protesters disrupt Israeli speakers at U. Virginia
on February 25, 2018
9 Comments
As we have documented here dozens of times, a standard anti-Israel tactic on campuses is to disrupt events and speakers. The purpose of even a temporary disruption is to intimidate and make clear there is a price to pay for Israeli or pro-Israel events.
It happened again, at an event sponsored by the Brody Jewish Center - Hillel at the University of Virginia and two pro-Israel student groups.
Post-Parkland, Colleges Announce Anti-Gun Protest Suspensions Won’t Affect Admissions
on February 25, 2018

Few things make me as simultaneously sad and frustrated as what is happening to higher education in this country. In an apparent effort to boost the number of anti-Second Amendment high school walkouts, colleges and universities are now announcing that suspensions for anti-gun protests won't harm their chance of admission.
It's not difficult to understand from these announcements that such suspensions would actually make the applicant more attractive to these very institutes of higher learning. In this socio-cultural climate, nothing says "top admissions candidate" like a proven record of social justice agitation and protest.
