• I'm not particularly surprised that the math shows that the University Wisconsin undergraduate and law schools racially discriminate against whites: such racial discrimination is a matter of course in higher education, and I'm surprised that there aren't more entrepreneurial conservative activists taking this sort of thing on in the courtrooms instead of just writing op-eds.

The poster read 'Warning: Fascism' and included a cartoon image of a silhouetted police officer striking a civilian. The poster mocked, 'Fascism can cause blunt head trauma and/or violent death. Keep fascism away from children and pets.'" The university demanded he take that poster down because of the reference to "violent death." FIRE is on the case.
