Another doozy of a week here at ILYBYGTH International! Here are some of the top stories that caught our eye:

“Ridiculous:” Trump’s angry plan to punish universities for banning free speech, at CHE:

In 2018 the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), an effective champion of free speech on campuses, recorded just nine attempts at disinviting or shutting down speakers. In the same year, 20 — if you’re keeping score, that’s 11 more than nine — colleges and universities adopted versions of the University of Chicago’s model principles of free expression. . . . None of that would seem to warrant sending in the feds to manage speech at our colleges and universities. Granted, our standards for declaring a national emergency have grown lax, but this is ridiculous.

Are teachers’ strikes really about the students? Or more about protecting the teachers’ union itself? At TC.

Most Americans (90%) believe in some higher power, but only 56% think it is the God of the Bible, at PRC.

• Does this poll mean that the 1920s fundamentalists were RIGHT about college? Here at ILYBYGTH.
