Do university leaders think caving to every tantrum is going to deter that behavior? They're pandering to their own demise.
Emily Suski, named last week to be the next dean at the UA--Fayetteville law school, is already out after conservative officials found Suskiโs opinions on transgender athletes' rights distasteful.
Culture warriors cancel new U of A law dean before she started - Arkansas Times
Culture warriors claim the scalp of Emily Suski, the would-be law school dean whose legal opinion on transgender athletes seems to have offended Arkansas officials.

On one hand, this is what every local TV news station says about their city/state in every promo ever aired.
On the other, those newsrooms also commit to holding the powerful accountable. CBS - in the preceding value - pledges to lend them a microphone.

I don't know why they postponed. But if it airs next week without a football game before it, far fewer people will see it.

60 Minutes had the late afternoon NFL lead-in this week. Next week, FOX has the late game. It's a difference of tens of millions of viewers.

I asked a bunch of media lawyers and law professors to read Trump's lawsuit against the BBC. Every expert said they're skeptical about Trump's chances. Here's more of what they said >>> www.cnn.com/2025/12/16/m...
Trumpโs bizarre $10 billion BBC lawsuit has even more holes than his other media actions | CNN Business
Up until this year, it was unheard of for a sitting American president to sue a news outlet. In just a few months, President Donald Trump has managed to make it seem normal.

Twice this week the University of Oklahoma has announced they have no idea if an instructor actually did anything wrong, but because politicians out to destroy higher ed complained, they immediately yanked that instructor from the classroom.
I'm sure that'll be the last one...

Want a real First Amendment issue on a college campus? The University Alabama - relying on a memo from AG Pam Bondi - just shut down two student publications because they cover women and black students. thecrimsonwhite.com/125358/news/...

No university in the U.S. is going to protect a grad instructor from a governor. It's a dogpile now. She is going to lose everything.

Bad stuff happening in Oklahoma. There is no First Amendment issue. There is no religious discrimination. The graduate instructor exemplified model teaching. The student and her mother targeted the instructor because she is transgender. The university is helping because grad students are powerless.

Texas A&M v. Missouri, LSU v. Alabama, and game of the week
BYU v. Texas Tech won't be on YouTube TV. But all three will be on the ABC broadcast network, which means most of the country would have always been able to watch for free without cable or streaming of any kind.

Bondi attacked a principle. The next day, Trump attached an enemy: ABC. The next day, Carr singled out a promiment person in the out-group: Kimmel.
When the principle is salient, it prevails. When the emphasis is on punishing an enemy, the principle takes a back seat to winning.

In two days, conservatives went from lambasting their own AG for punishing hate speech to cheering government coercion of ABC into punishing Jimmy Kimmel for hate speech.

Don't miss how widely this is being condemned. Conservatives of all stripes, including plenty of MAGA loyalists, are raking Bondi over the coals for such a bafflingly wrong and dangerously anti-free speech remark. Meanwhile, Trump is doubling down. Will be interesting to see who blinks first.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "There's free speech and then there's hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society...We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."

You'll learn things you never knew about Katrina from the people who covered it. And I hope you'll come away with an appreciation for what you mean to the local journalists who cover your community.

I've added a tiny FAQ to my post yesterday about Bluesky and Mississippi's age verification law. Start here ๐
Did Mississippi ban Bluesky?
No. The government isn't blocking Bluesky from operating in Mississippi. Bsky is choosing to suspend service rather than comply with the law.
Pornhub did the same in numerous states after age verification laws that specifically targeted adult content.
