What do you think about the college admissions scandal?:

1) There's so much of academia that is misleading and agenda-driven. This is a chance to evaluate the whole university system.

2) I'm glad that some of these wealthy parents and colleges were caught for their deception, but I don't think it's widespread.

3) It reminds me of affirmative action, another example of undeserving sudents getting in before deserving ones.

4) People have been making large donations to colleges for years and getting their kids in. This is nothing new.

5) If it diminishes the prestige of "elite" colleges, it's good that it has come to light.

6) The on-campus college experience is no longer as valuable or necessary as it used to be and this reinforces that.

6) None of these.

DRUGS: March 17, 2019 On Feb. 12, Joaquin Guzman Loera, aka “El Chapo,” was convicted of multiple crimes related to running the Sinaloa drug cartel, Mexico’s largest. Thirteen days before his conviction, authorities seized enough of the synthetic opioid called fentanyl for 100 million lethal doses. It was hidden in a truck carrying cucumbers through the Nogales port of legal...

By: George Will 03/14/2019 - 8:11am

CATHOLIC CHURCH: March 14, 2019 “Horseplay,” a term used to denote child rape, is, says Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, part of a sinister glossary of euphemisms by which the Catholic Church’s bureaucracy obfuscates in documents the church’s “pattern of abuse” and conspiracy of silence “that...

Democratic candidates are channeling late-night infomercials

By: George Will 03/12/2019 - 10:32am

MONETARY THEORY: March 10, 2019 A four-word phrase common on late-night television, exclaimed by announcers giddy about their offers: “Buy this kitchen knife that is so sharp it can slice and dice diamonds, and we’ll throw in a nonstick frying pan that can double as a satellite dish. BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! If you call...

REPARATIONS: March 7, 2019 Tiptoeing along the edge of caricature, Sen. Elizabeth Warren says: Native Americans should be “at the table” with African-Americans for a “robust discussion” about making some Americans pay reparations to other Americans to atone for misdeeds by still other Americans. The enumeration of the...

So, Schultz would spoil the splendor of today’s party duopoly?

By: George Will 03/05/2019 - 10:55pm

HOWARD SCHULTZ: March 3, 2019 As an upbeat Howard Schultz tucked into lunch here recently he was having a good week because Democrats were having an awful one. The former Starbucks CEO, who is contemplating a plunge into politics, knows that his narrow path to the presidency as an independent depends on the Democratic Party becoming as offensive...

Justices push to broaden the rights of national citizenship

By: George Will 03/05/2019 - 1:04pm

EXCESSIVE FINES: February 28, 2019 There have been many memorable — and eventually consequential — Supreme Court dissents that affirmed principles that, in time, commanded a court majority. It is, however, rare that a justice’s opinion concurring in a unanimous ruling is more intellectually scintillating and potentially...
