| 2007-12-29 10:45:00 |
I worked hard to get good grades my first few years of college. My last year, I was tired of the whole college deal (and was working full time in my career field already) so I didn’t stress out quite so much about getting straight A’s.

| Mini-revolt at Macalester college |
| 2007-06-12 20:06:26 |
This article by Katherine Kersten perfectly illustrates what a struggle it can be to encourage even a small amount of intellectual diversity on a college campus. If students are steeped in course material like this day in and day out, how can they help but pick up the leftist mantra?
Take the Macalester curriculum. What comes [...]...
