🧵You might’ve heard of restorative justice and how it’s messed up school discipline. But have you heard of PBIS?

For @CityJournal, I investigate how PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) is leading to classroom anarchy PBIS is a behavior management framework, sold as an alternative to harsh discipline

PBIS was initially aimed at students w/behavior disorders. But it expanded to all students as it became popular to address the “school-to-prison pipeline” and racial disparities in discipline

🧵NEW: When DOGE cuts Education Department funds, it’s also cutting revenue for bloated education research consultancies

Most people haven’t heard of these organizations, so here are a few examples of what they do:

1/ WestEd —260M revenue—trained teachers on Critical Race English Education (CREE):

“Students will discuss the role of the white savior complex in the character development of Atticus Finch” 2/American Institute for Research—$300M revenue—presented to education leaders on how to racially integrate schools. Their suggestions:

-DEI + “anti-racist” hiring practices
-Axing honors classes
-Equity audits

Asian American voters shifted right…by A LOT

National exit polls underestimated the rightward shifts of AA in major urban areas. WaPo, NBC found a shift under 10 pts

My analysis of Asian-majority precincts show shifts of 15-30 pts

Why the shift? AA voters explain⬇️ 1) Punished for being too successful

“The injustice of being labeled as privileged, selfish, cheaters, overrepresented, white adjacent, and resource hoarders hurt very deeply” @AsraNomani

🧵New Axios/Generation Lab Poll on pro-Palestinian campus protests:

1) 81% of college students think universities should hold protesters accountable for destroying, vandalizing, or illegally occupying buildings 2) Pro-Israel protesters (64%) are more likely to be friends with someone who disagrees w/them than anti-Israel protesters (42%)

🧵In my new @WSJopinion piece, I go through a proposal from Illinois that would embed race into state funding for universities

Let’s just say the state gov’t takes identity politics to a new level by placing price tags on the oppression hierarchy The IL Commission on Equitable Public Funding wants to alter the state funding model for “equity” purposes

Goal: create incentives for universities to enroll more black, “Latinx” students

Price tag: $1.4 billion/year

How is race injected into the formula?

🚨BREAKING🚨

Writing for the @PittsburghPG, I found that Carnegie Mellon University could owe the Pennsylvania government $700M+ (~25% of its endowment value) for failing to report its funds from Qatar

🧵Here’s what happened: Since 2003, Qatar has paid Carnegie Mellon University to operate a branch campus in Qatar. Through this arrangement, Carnegie Mellon received nearly $700 million from Qatar since 2010, and did not report any of it to PA

In my @tabletmag debut, I expose the relationship between international student recruitment, DEI policies, and left-wing activism on American campuses

Here are some important takeaways you should know⬇️
tabletmag.com/sections/news/… 1) Today, there are over 1 million foreign students enrolled at American universities (5% of the total student population)

The process of internationalization used to be slow, but the number of international students doubled between 2000 and 2015

Many have speculated that universities dropping out of rankings, going test-optional is to prepare for a world without affirmative action.

In a new article for @LawLiberty, I provide proof that this is all intentional🧵 The College Board’s “playbook” offers 3 strategies that universities could adopt to skirt the law:

1) Relaxed admissions standards
2) Race attentive outreach + recruitment
3) Service commitments associated w/race

The goal is to avoid triggering strict scrutiny by the courts

64 hospitals lost 11,000+ employees due to C19 vaccine mandates

*hospitals mapped by headquarter location While the raw numbers are large, keep in mind that those who were not vaccinated generally accounted for less than 1% of a hospital’s workforce

Here’s more info on hospitals where the incident type was reported:

Suspended: 3,898
Fired: 6,036
