Virginia Tech Professor’s Hate Crime Allegation Turned Out to Be a Total Hoax

I feel like this is the 7654th story that’s been debunked. Since 2016, one of the many deranged liberal narratives has been that Trump’s America is racist. That election exposed the cruel underbelly of America, but it’s liberals who are making it that way, and they’re the ones guilty of committing these racial hoaxes to manufacture a narrative that doesn’t exist. It’s a sick irony—delusional, really.

Earlier this month, a Virginia Tech professor alleged that a group of white kids committed a hate crime against him by blasting rap music and dumping snow near his property. If you think that sounds weak, it’s because it is: police conducted an investigation that debunked this discount Jussie Smollett tale (via NY Post):

Dr. Onwubiko Agozino, a sociology professor at the Virginia university, claimed in a Feb. 10 police report that eight white minors racially targeted him when they rolled up to his Christiansburg home blaring offensive music, throwing ice blocks, and hurling a flurry of racist jabs, including the N-word. 

He told authorities the “profane” music included “racial slurs,” with local woke activists, New River Valley Indivisible, labeling the incident as a “calculated effort to terrorize and intimidate” Agozino and his family.

[…] 

But the so-called racist assault was quickly debunked after local police launched an investigation. 

Cops discovered the teens were attending a house party nearby and were merely clearing snow and ice from their truck bed, according to the Christiansburg Police Department. 

“There have been incorrect reports that this may have been a targeted incident toward a specific residence or person based on racial bias,” the department posted on Facebook Feb. 12. 

“Our investigation has found no evidence of criminal intent or racial bias. At no time did any juveniles yell obscenities, or direct attention to any homes in the area while clearing the snow and ice.”

Outrageous! Iowa State University Student President Impeached Due To Connection With Conservative Groups

In the latest example of anti conservative bias, a student government impeached its president due to his ties to TPUSA, according to a report from Campus Reform.

“Iowa State University’s Student Government voted to impeach President Colby Brandt during its Feb. 19 meeting for his affiliation with the Campus Victory Project.”

The Campus Victory Project is connected to TPUSA and helps students find leadership positions on campus.

If it was MoveOn.org, or another left wing group that the student was connected with, its doubtful he would be facing impeachment.

As usual, conservatism and patriotism are under attack on American campuses.

The student group impeached him on many “accounts,” including “Violation of the Oath of Office, claimed that Brandt failed to perform his duties “for the benefit of all students.”

“Brandt was also charged with Failure of a Representative, which claimed that he did not represent all students due to his obligations to CVP.”

Of course, they are simply claiming this and drumming up other accusations due to his affiliation with TPUSA.

Brandt declined to comment to Campus Reform, but instead is holding off till the student government Supreme Court adjudicates.

It was alleged during a meeting that the student group which impeached Brandt is not openly partisan in favor of left wing and Democrat causes.

“Any student who needs assistance or wants to create a project on the inclusivity, diversity, equity, and accessibility needs on campus can count on us,” the committee description states.

The assault on the rights of conservatives and free speech continues despite doublespeak about inclusivity.

One can hope that Brandt wins his case and remains in the position he rightfuly deserves.

Surprise: Basing College Admissions On Merit Instead Of Skin Is Good For Everyone

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard (2023), which banned affirmative action in college admissions, many experts, university officials, civil rights advocates, and government leaders warned about sharp declines in black and Hispanic enrollment. Yet a new report suggests that these predictions were overly pessimistic and failed to reflect the full scope of the situation. 

Unlike early analyses that concentrated solely on underrepresented minority (URM) enrollment at a handful of prestigious institutions like Harvard and MIT, James Murphy’s January 2026 report for Class Action — a nonprofit advocating equity in higher education — examined 2024 freshman enrollment at more than 3,000 colleges and universities using federal data, offering a more balanced view of the enrollment landscape after the Supreme Court decision.  

Before anyone accuses the report of being influenced by right-wing bias, it is important to note that Murphy professes his leftist views at the beginning of the report. He believes that race-conscious admissions are necessary for URM students and that the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ban harms long-term well-being of URM students. Despite his ideological stance, Murphy deserves credit for not omitting results that contradict his views, even if he attempts to rationalize them. 

The report highlights a significant trend: Highly selective colleges in the U.S. (which admit only 8 percent of the student population across all four-year institutions) have experienced a decline in enrollment of URM students — particularly black students. But many less-selective institutions (which account for more than 90 percent of four-year colleges and universities) are welcoming more URM students, leading to a remarkable increase in their enrollment. 

Flagship state universities especially experienced standout gains: Enrollment of black freshmen climbed 30 percent at LSU and 50 percent at the University of Mississippi; Hispanic freshmen were up more than 33 percent at Tennessee and South Carolina. Less-selective private colleges like Syracuse University also experienced 17 percent growth in black first-year students, and Hispanic freshmen increased 45 percent at the University of Miami. The only exception to this growing trend is a puzzling small dip in black enrollment at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).  

The overall increase of URMs at most colleges and universities suggests that the ban on affirmative action did not discourage URMs from seeking and obtaining higher education, as many critics of the ruling warned. Additionally, white and Asian enrollment remained stable during this period, indicating that the rise in URM enrollment resulted in organic growth rather than a zero-sum shift. Even Murphy had to acknowledge that colleges and universities have become more racially diverse than many anticipated after the Supreme Court’s decision. 

Instead of celebrating this trend, Murphy expressed concern about the cascading effect: The ban on affirmative action has resulted in more URMs attending less-selective schools instead of highly competitive ones. This shift could negatively affect their graduation rates and lifetime earnings. His argument is based on the observation that, historically, highly selective institutions have higher graduation rates than other schools, and graduates from these institutions tend to earn more over their lifetimes compared to graduates from less-selective schools. However, the data from California’s experience with the affirmative action ban suggests a corrective for this perspective.

Insanity: Professor Gets Rid of Finals, Assigns Editing Of “LGBTQ+” Wikipedia Pages Instead

In the latest lunacy on campus, according to Campus Reform, “A professor at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) has assigned students an alternative to traditional finals—creating and editing Wikipedia pages about ‘queer and trans people of color.”

Excellence and quality education continue to be replaced by Woke indoctrination at Berkeley.

The ‘Ethnic Studies’ professor had students defend and expand on Wikipedia articles related to ‘LGBTQ’ history and transgenderism, according to the report.

Somehow, this insanity is considered worth the price of tuition at Berkeley despite the fact that it does nothing to prepare students for real life.

According to The Campus Reform report, “The project is facilitated through Wiki Education, an organization that partners with college faculty to incorporate Wikipedia editing into coursework.”

This should never have been a thing, and it is hardly educational to begin with. The fact that the course is named, absurdly, Queer of Color, as if that is part of education, is even worse.

Among the pages they were assigned were such gems as “Queer Vampires,” “LGBTQ themes in horror fiction,” and more.

Another article was about “Lesbian bars,” as absurd as that sounds.

“Classes have made more than 300,000 edits and added 3,000 citations to Wikipedia articles, collectively amassing nearly 100 million views.”

The professor who assigned this framed the assignment as opposing the Trump administration.

“Right now, the Trump administration is trying to erase the very existence of transgender people, so having information about those histories, as well as present challenges facing queer and trans communities, is particularly urgent,” is what the professor in question told The Daily Californian.

This activist/professor unsurprisingly lists “transgender studies,” “queer activism in the Americas,” and “sex work” as her areas of expertise. In other words, she should not be in education.

These types of courses are pure leftist indoctrination and do not qualify as educational or helpful for real life.

EXPOSED: Taxpayer-Funded Horror at University of Chicago – NSF Pours Millions into Inducing Severe Strokes in Dogs Before Killing Them

In a shocking new exposé highlighting the grotesque waste and cruelty involved in federal science funding, watchdog White Coat Waste (WCW) has uncovered documents revealing how the University of Chicago is using millions in taxpayer dollars from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) to deliberately inflict the “most severe” strokes on dozens of dogs, only to kill them shortly after.

This barbaric practice, which involves blocking the animals’ brain arteries and subjecting them to immense suffering, comes as the NSF is already under fire for a litany of wasteful and inhumane animal experiments.

According to WCW’s investigation, obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests, the lab at the University of Chicago has conducted these experiments on at least 64 dogs, inducing what researchers themselves describe as the “most severe stroke” possible.

The process is cold and methodical, spanning three days:

  • Day 1: The dogs undergo imaging scans and blood draws to establish baselines.
  • Day 2: Experimenters block the animals’ middle cerebral arteries using coils, triggering massive strokes. The dogs are then assessed using a “stroke scale” to measure the damage.
  • Day 3: The suffering ends – not with treatment or mercy, but with euthanasia. Lab documents admit that if the dogs were allowed to survive, they would endure “significant suffering” due to the lack of round-the-clock care equivalent to what human stroke patients receive.

These experiments are purportedly testing a stroke treatment that has already been proven safe and effective in human clinical trials, raising serious questions about why innocent dogs are being tortured and killed for redundant research.

WCW notes that this continues despite NIH’s pledges to phase out dog testing, led by figures such as Fauci-fan girl Nicole Kleinstreuer, who heads the agency’s efforts to promote non-animal alternatives.

While the NIH has wasted $4.9 million on these dog experiments, including a new $596,000 grant awarded in June with three more years of funding secured, the NSF’s involvement is even more egregious.

Portions of two massive NSF grants, totaling a staggering $40.5 million, are supporting the University of Chicago lab. The current active grant alone is worth $24.7 million and runs through August.

Those are your hard-earned tax dollars, part of the NSF’s bloated $9 billion annual budget, going straight to needlessly torturing man’s best friend.

This isn’t an isolated incident.

University of Florida to stop ‘gender-affirming care’ for students

Laser hair removal and cross-sex hormones will no longer be provided to gender-confused students at the University of Florida starting this summer.

The student health center previously provided these services to gender-confused students to help them look like the opposite sex. However, the clinic cited federal and state policies in announcing its decision to cease offering the procedures effective May 1, according to the Alligator.

State data for 2018 to 2022 shows “over 700 patients underwent hormone replacement therapy, 90 received prescriptions for puberty blockers and 41 underwent gender-affirming surgery,” the student newspaper reported. However, this is across all University of Florida health centers, not just the student clinic.

A state law placing limits on both minors and adults receiving the drugs and surgeries is currently pending in the courts. The Supreme Court also upheld the rights of states to regulate the procedures for minors last summer. These procedures can include removing healthy reproductive organs or taking drugs that can lead to permanent infertility.

The pro-LGBT organization Equality Florida did not respond to two emails and a phone call in the past three weeks from The College Fix, asking for comment on the decision.

However, a critic of transgender ideology praised the decision in emailed comments to The Fix.

“Obviously, it’s a refreshingly sane decision, though they obviously made it for the wrong reasons – because of the state laws forcing them,” MassResistance President Brian Camenker told The Fix.

“But even just affirming that mental illness instead of treating it is destructive,” he said. “The whole idea of gender affirming care is medical quackery and clear malpractice.”

Camenker said gender-confused adults should be treated like others with a mental illness and he suggested there are underlying problems when someone says they are transgender.

“People need help healing from whatever traumas are behind this problem, and be given a pathway toward normalcy,” he said. “It should never involve the barbaric practice of hormones, puberty blockers, or medical procedures.”

University Of Houston Pledges To End Indoctrination

As first reported at Campus Reform, “The University of Houston (UH) administration recently sent faculty at the school a non-indoctrination form, through which the faculty were instructed to pledge not to ‘indoctrinate’ their students into any particular ideology.”

Of course, universities were not meant to be centers of indoctrination in the first place; however, they have, in most cases, become just that.

The form asks faculty to agree to five statements namely “(1) that a primary purpose of higher education is to enhance critical thinking, (2) that professors should not indoctrinate students, (3) that he or she understands critical thinking, (4) that his or her courses are designed to improve critical thinking, (5) and that his or her pedagogical methods are used to enhance critical thinking.”

This is a major step for a university to commit to this instead of training social justice warriors and Woke ideologues.

This importantly comes after the passage of Senate Bill 37 in Texas, which allowed students to file complaints against Woke indoctrination.

“For too long, unelected faculty senates have operated behind closed doors, steering curriculum decisions, influencing institutional policy, issuing political statements to divest from Israel, and even organizing votes of ‘no confidence’ that undermine public trust,” said Texas State Sen. Brandon Creighton, a supporter of the legislation, in April.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbot prohibited Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives by signing Senate Bill 17 in 2023. Abbot’s office explained that he wanted to give “people the opportunity to advance based on talent and merit.”

As usual, not all the professors were on board in opposing woke education.

Apparently, indoctrination is a necessity to some professors.

“UH’s chapter of the left-wing American Association of University Professors (AAUP) even drafted a note for faculty members to send to the deans rather than completing the form as requested.”

The University of Houston seems to be one of the few that are actually taking steps to move towards education and away from indoctrination.

All colleges in America should be centers of education and the free exchange of ideas, sadly, however, this is the exception to the rule.

The University of Houston recently closed down it’s Gender Studies Center.

Columbia U Breaks Ties With Personnel Implicated In Epstein Files

The once prestigious Columbia University is now breaking ranks with Dr. Thomas Magnani and Dr. Letty Moss-Salentijn, both of whom were implicated in getting Epstein’s girlfriend into Dental College, according to a report at Campus Reform.

The Epstein files, which are now infamous, have implicated many prominent people, as The Gateway Pundit has reported at length.

Dr. Thomas Magnani, who’s a Manhattan dentist, colluded with top Columbia officials and Jeffrey Epstein to admit Epstein’s girlfriend to their school.

Campus Reform reported that Dr. Magnani had solicited a $450,000 donation from Epstein.

”Dr. Thomas Magnani, who has not taught at the school since 2017, was removed from the admissions review committee and from volunteer leadership roles, including the presidency of the 1852 Club, and had previously stepped down from the school’s board of advisors,” Columbia’s statement reads. “His voluntary faculty appointment and the affiliation agreement with his private dental practice have been terminated.”

Dr. Letty Moss-Salentijin is also implicated in this scheme to help admit Jefferey Epstein’s girlfriend for a donation to the school.

Columbia University’s reputation has tanked in recent years due to scandals and leftist indoctrination.

The conspiracy to admit his girlfriend, despite the school not admitting transfer students at the time, according to  Campus Reform.

Dr. Salentijin “will step down from her administrative roles,”

According to Campus Reform, “Columbia University also plans to donate $210,000 – equal to the amount “in donations from entities related to Epstein – to charities that support ”survivors of sexual abuse and human trafficking.”

This all sends a powerful signal to the wealthy and powerful that morality and the rule of law shall be applied equally throughout the country.

America is a nation of laws, and the law must be applied equally to all. What Epstein did was pure evil and his enablers in the media and the academy should be held accountable according to the fullest extent of the law.

Yale University SUSPENDS Prof. David Gelernter After Trump DOJ Exposes His Ties to Jeffrey Epstein

Yale University has removed longtime computer science professor David Gelernter from teaching duties after newly released Department of Justice documents tied him to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, years after Epstein had already pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor.

The bombshell revelations emerged from the massive January 2026 DOJ document dump made possible under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump in November 2025, which forced the federal government to release millions of pages of Epstein-related communications.

Among the millions of pages published were years of email correspondence between Gelernter and Jeffrey Epstein, spanning 2009 to 2015.

In one message from October 2011, years after Epstein’s conviction in Florida for soliciting a minor, the professor recommended a Yale undergraduate for a position to Epstein, describing her unambiguously in terms of looks as “a v small good-looking blonde.”

Gelernter defended the note to Yale administration as keeping “the potential boss’s habits in mind,” but university officials found the explanation unacceptable and removed him from teaching duties pending review.

In a defiantly unapologetic email to Yale Dean Jeffrey Brock, which Gelernter subsequently leaked to the Yale Daily News, he defended the description.

OSU Just Hired an Assistant Professor of What?

There’s been a problem in higher education for quite some time. Colleges and universities are less interested in educating people than they are indoctrinating them into woke, Leftist ideologies. At the same time, bloated administrative staff and government-backed student loans have made tuition costs (and student loan debt) skyrocket. It’s a recipe for disaster, but academica doesn’t seem keen on changing any time soon.

At Ohio State University (OSU), for example, they recently hired an Assistant Professor of Black Sexualities. 

Zalika U. Ibraorimi, who has “she/they” pronouns, has some interesting areas of expertise, including “Black Sexual Logics,” “Dark Black Study,” “Anti-Blackness,” and “Black Digital Intimacy.”

OSU describes Ibraorimi as “an antidisciplinary artist” (someone who deliberately rejects traditional artistic categories) and wrote that “she engages Black material and digital publics as landscapes to trace the Human sexual geographies between the relation of the Black femme and spectator.”

Um, what?

As Salier pointed out, Ibraorimi was hired because the Mellon Foundation gave OSU almost $3 million to “transform” the Department of African American and African studies.
