Vindictive, cowardly leaders bowed to the gender bullies and failed Jo Phoenix
Regardless of your own views on sex and gender, you should care that this is happening in the same way you should care if any group of people is being targeted for bullying on the basis of a protected belief or characteristic.

China’s population shrinks again and could more than halve – here’s what that means

The Left’s Contradictory Goals for Higher Ed
The battle over what role higher education should play in America is intensifying, and the political right is winning. Race-conscious admissions have been banned by the Supreme Court, red-state financial support for public colleges is crumbling, and attacks on academe as elitist, identity-obsessed, and radically leftist are galvanizing voters in states like Florida, Texas, and Indiana.
