  • Judge Gorsuch Supports Your Right to Burp in Class
    “Two issues millennials care about that Gorsuch will affect on the Supreme Court are criminal justice reform and privacy rights — both issues where Gorsuch is much more in line with millennials than general Republican orthodoxy.”
    “Millennials care about criminal justice reform because of what they see as a biased system that disproportionately imprisons more minorities for minor charges, rather than enforcing true equal treatment under the law. And on privacy rights, use of technology drives millennials' skepticism of government intrusion and surveillance.”
    “In A.M. v. Holmes, Gorsuch wrote a dissenting opinion that police should not be allowed to arrest students for ‘burping in class.’”
    “… young Americans should appreciate that Gorsuch will be with them on personal liberty and civil liberties….”
    Washington Examiner

  • Not Getting the Education You Were Promised? Start a Reading Club
    “… the students were complaining about the education they were receiving. One girl said, “I thought the classes and professors would be challenging, but I’m not getting the education I was promised when I came.” The other students agreed that their classroom experiences were falling short of their expectations.”
    “What struck me most was that these were Clemson students. Clemson University: a “public ivy” institution with a reputation for top faculty and student excellence in the classroom.”
    “The conversation of that day embodies the great problem within higher education. In the Classical Age of learning in ancient Greece, Plato argued that true education not only conveyed to us a right knowledge but also taught us to desire those things that are right and good. By the standard of the ancients, the current state of higher education is unquestionably prostrate and lamentable.”
    The fix?  Start a reading club.  You will be following in the footsteps of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
    The Lord of the Rings or “The Cultural Significance of the Barbie Doll” – your choice.

  • TPY Congratulates Turning Point USA on String of Victories on Campus
    Tea Party Youth congratulates Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA on persevering and prevailing in its fights to establish a presence on several campuses around the country.  The group now has 350 chapters after winning lawsuits and other tussles to organize and spread its message at Creighton University, Santa Clara University, Grand Valley State, and Hagerstown Community College. These are great victories for Tea Party values – limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility – to which Turning Point USA also subscribes.  Kudos and hats off!  Details here.

  • Millennials in PR Feel Ill-Equipped to Handle Ethical Issues
    “Millennials who are pursuing careers in public relations do not feel prepared to offer advice on ethics to their companies,” the Baylor University School of Media Communications wrote recently.  “If Millennials don’t feel equipped, they may be misled by their superiors or used as instruments of unethical behavior.”   How will you prepare yourself and will you be ready when you get there?

    You wouldn’t want your phone hacked, would you? Then why would you want your very being hacked?  ‘Political correctness’ isn’t just harmless blather. It’s psychological manipulation of the highest order guaranteed to keep you stupid. In this sort of ‘Propaganda 101’ short course, thought control expert Stella Morabito shows you how to protect yourself - Are you being threatened with slurs or labels? Are you expected to trade in reality to prop up somebody’s illusion? Etc.  Highly Recommended
