The book purges are coming for higher education.
The military is already complying with the white/hetero/cis supremacist censorship agenda (see gift article). It's only a matter of time before even private universities are asked to purge books or lose federal funding

The @nytimes.com really has a headline problem.

Based on the accompanying photo, this one should read:
"Trump ejects 35 states from the union, adds two original colonies." Either that or "As leaders openly lie, so does AI. We've decided to join them."

One of my solemn responsibilities as a professor is to update about the author information on cover pages for required readings in my courses (in this case, for copies in seven languages!).
We lost one of the greats yesterday.

Why is it that the novelists often understand Christianity better than the preachers?
Here's Marilynne Robinson in the essay collection "When I Was a Child I Read Books," a title that might go part way to answering my question.
