\n Campus watch: English Dept. vs. English<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among its several \u201cactions in solidarity with Black Lives Matter,\u201d Rutgers University\u2019s English Department will de-emphasize \u201ctraditional grammar rules,\u201d reports Alex Frank at The College Fix. In an e-mail celebrating Juneteenth, department head Rebecca Walkowitz, vowed to incorporate \u201c\u200a\u2018critical grammar\u2019 into our pedagogy,\u201d which will challenge \u201cthe familiar dogma that writing instruction should limit emphasis on grammar\/sentence-level issues,\u201d so as not to put students with poor \u201cacademic\u201d English backgrounds \u201cat a disadvantage.\u201d Another goal: \u201cdecolonizing the Writing Center.\u201d How does lowering standards serve justice? Executive dean Peter March and spokeswoman Dory Devlin didn\u2019t respond to Frank\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Conservative: Blame the Prosecutors, Too<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDemocratic mayors, backing Joe Biden, are on the defensive\u201d over President Trump\u2019s threat to send in federal agents to deal with urban violent-crime waves, says The Chicago Tribune\u2019s John Kass. But the worst culprits aren\u2019t always the mayors, but prosecutors often elected with the help of billionaire George Soros: \u201cThey promised to empty their jails through the social<\/a>-justice warrior policy of \u2018decarceration.\u2019 They also help give repeat, violent criminals little or no bond when arrested. And in many of the violent cities, the prosecutors have delivered on their promises, not to keep the violent in jail, but to let them out.\u201d In Chicago, for \u00adexample, Cook County State\u2019s Attorney Kim Foxx \u201creportedly received at least $2 million from a Soros-backed political-action committee.\u201d She has announced she won\u2019t prosecute \u201cpeaceful protesters,\u201d including those who normally face charges for \u201cdisorderly conduct and curfew violations.\u201d In all, \u201cyou can see that something is growing in the big cities: an overwhelming sense of lawlessness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legal desk: Trump Is Doing His Job in Portland<\/strong><\/p>\n

The elites blasting President Trump\u2019s decision to send federal agents to face the Portland riots haven\u2019t said \u201cmuch about the Constitution,\u201d Andrew C. McCarthy notes at FoxNews<\/a>.com. Yet the nation\u2019s central legal document gives the president the \u201csolemn duty\u201d of \u00adenforcing federal law, even if locals don\u2019t request intervention. Critics of Trump\u2019s move, including Sen. Rand Paul, have wrongly complained of uniformed agents \u201ccovering their names\u201d and going undercover \u2014 both constitutionally valid when \u201cradical militants\u201d have started to \u201cthreaten the police and their families.\u201d Far from \u201ctrampling on state sovereignty\u201d by sending the agents to Portland, then, Trump is performing his \u201cconstitutional duty\u201d of \u201cfaithfully executing our nation\u2019s laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

COVID journal: My Family Didn\u2019t Have to Die, Gov<\/strong><\/p>\n

Janice Dean\u2019s in-laws died of the coronavirus in their New York elder-care homes, she recounts at USA Today. She blames the Cuomo administration order that \u201crecovering coronavirus patients be placed into nursing homes\u201d without requiring tests. Yet the loss of \u201cat least 6,500 of our most helpless seniors\u201d hasn\u2019t led national media to ask Gov. Cuomo about the \u201cnursing-home tragedy.\u201d Cuomo, meanwhile, has blamed \u201ceveryone and everything else,\u201d including \u201cGod, Mother Nature, The New York Post\u201d and even \u201cnursing-care workers.\u201d If he won\u2019t \u201cown up to his catastrophic decisions,\u201d we need \u201ca nonpartisan investigation\u201d to determine \u201caccountability for what happ<\/a>ened to our parents and grandparents,\u201d whose lives didn\u2019t matter to a governor who is \u201cas weak as they come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Culture critic: Against the Prioritization of Death<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our cultural \u201cobsession with death\u201d is \u201ccosting us\u201d our lives and our young people \u201ctheir future,\u201d frets OutKick\u2019s Jason Whitlock. Once, Americans\u2019 religious faith \u201csoftened the consequence of death on this earth.\u201d Now, we have \u201clost that resolve\u201d: Secularization has left us willing to sacrifice any freedom \u201cin pursuit of avoiding death\u201d from \u201ca virus with a 99 percent recovery rate.\u201d At the same time, our elites urge us to devote our \u201ctime, energy and focus\u201d to deaths, including that of George Floyd. \u201cFear-based decision-making,\u201d meanwhile, has kept our \u201ckids locked in homes, socially distanced indefinitely\u201d without school or sports, which destroys \u201cthe lives of millions.\u201d Whitlock asks: \u201cWhen are we going to resume our fight for the living?\u201d<\/p>\n
