A Few Random Thoughts about the NFL

Last updated on: July 10, 2018 at 9:43 pm By George Yancey

As most of you know, the NFL this weekend was full of players protesting the National Anthem. I have been a big-time football fan for most of my life. For reasons not having to do with the issues surrounding the recent protests, I have reduced my watching of the NFL. I am not boycotting it. My wife is a big-time Dallas Cowboys fan, and so the TV will have the Cowboys on when they play. But I really do not... Read more

It seems that about every six months or so I see an article arguing that the political or religious disparities in academia haves little to do with bias and much to do with self-selection. Read more

Needed: College Administrators with some Guts

Last updated on: July 10, 2018 at 9:43 pm By George Yancey

In my last blog entry I pointed out several incidents where students were attempting to shut down free speech. In that blog I looked at research that suggested a larger strategy for how dealing with the emergence of the anti-free speech movement was for professors and diversity programs to be more sophisticated and nuanced. I have little doubt that some professors and diversity trainers would not want such a solution. Many of them are quite happy with the results they... Read more

This Class is not a Safe Space

Next week I am going to concentrate on the issue of academic freedom and the anti-free speech movement on college campuses. But today I will provide a paraphrased presentation I gave in my classes this semester. This is the talk I presented to my classes after I handed out my syllabus and told the students a little about myself. In these principles presented to my students, I think you will see how this relates to next week’s topic. (By the... Read more

Do Progressives Really Believe in Public Accommodation?

Last updated on: July 10, 2018 at 9:43 pm By George Yancey

12 Comments

Last year I offered progressives an opportunity to show their ideological consistency. Many of them had affirmed that Christians have a right to be free in their own churches as long as they stayed out of the public square. I do not accept such a “deal.” I believe that conservative Christians have just as much of a right to the public square as any other group. But if progressives were being honest, then they should have been upset at Eric... Read more

What is Fake News?

Last updated on: July 10, 2018 at 9:43 pm By George Yancey

A new word has entered our political discourse – fake news. It was the term first used by the Democrats to describe the fabrication of news stories that they believed doomed their candidate. The term has been co-opted by President Trump and the Republicans to denigrate news stories they do not like. So what has happened is now those on the left and on the right are hurling accusations of fake news stories at each other. There actually are efforts... Read more
