A Tiny Conservative News Outlet Pioneered the Attack on Higher Education

Around the height of the pro-Palestinian campus protests last year, a conservative journalist sent an email to the federal government complaining about Princeton University. 'Jewish students have felt increasingly unwelcome and unsafe at Princeton,' the journalist, Zachary Marschall, wrote. He cited a series of news reports about pro-Palestinian activism on campus, including a student group demanding 'the full dismantling of the Zionist apartheid state.' He wanted a full investigation. Dr. Marschall was not a student himself. In fact, he had never stepped foot on the Princeton campus. Nevertheless, the complaint resulted in a federal investigation. Dr. Marschall, who is Jewish, may be the most prolific filer of antisemitism civil rights complaints to the federal government. He says he has filed 33 against colleges around the country, leading to 16 investigations. The Trump administration has made fighting antisemitism a central plank in its education agenda and vowed to punish institutions that it says have allowed antisemitism to proliferate. Many of Dr. Marschall's targets have landed on a list of 60 schools that officials have said they are investigating. (Princeton did not comment on the complaint or the investigation.) Dr. Marschall considers the government's attention to his complaints another victory for the conservative newspaper he edits, Campus Reform, and its longtime mission to expose what he calls leftist bias and abuse on college campuses around the country.

Emily Sturge: Graduation Ceremonies Are Meant To Bring Students Together, Not Segregate Them

Campus Reform Reporter Emily Sturge joins Fox Across Ameria With guest host Jason Chaffetz to shed light on how certain universities throughout the U.S. have decided to hold segregated graduation ceremonies for students. 'So we've reported at UC Davis and also at Franklin and Marshall College, they're holding separate graduation ceremonies to honor Black students. We've also seen, even in my home state of Florida, graduation ceremonies at some of our major universities for LGBTQ students. The bottom line here is graduation is supposed to be a ceremony that brings everybody together to celebrate accomplishments of hard work, four years of success. And instead the education system is turning these ceremonies that are supposed to be about merit and they're making it about skin color. This is not what our ceremonies are supposed to be able. And I was lucky enough to walk in my own graduation ceremony with all of my peers. It wasn't divided based on skin color. So I feel for those students who are put in this situation, who are divided by skin color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or even in these illegal immigration ceremonies, students are even divided whether they're a law-abiding citizen or here breaking the law. It's very sad to see.' Emily Sturge: Students Aren't Learning How To Think Anymore Listen to the podcast to hear the full conversation!
