The Dean’s List

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Columbia has scrambled to handle a recent protest at Barnard College wherein students took over several buildings in protest of the expulsion of two students accused of disrupting an Israeli history class. The problem with that statement lies in the word “continue.” If they are going to continue doing what they’ve been doing, then they’re not going to do anything...

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Trump put the plan on full display beautifully when he asked the Governor of Maine if she planned to follow his Executive Order of keeping men out of women’s sports during the Governor’s meeting at the White House. She took the bait. After openly sparring with Trump, the entire country now sees the radicalism taking place in Maine...

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Given Columbia’s ongoing inaction in the face of relentless harassment of Jewish students, the Federal Government’s Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism is considering Stop Work Orders for $51.4 million in contracts between Columbia University and the Federal Government.

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – The American Federation of Teachers claims the stance taken by the Department of Education violates the First Amendment free speech protections by “forcing schools to teach only the views supported by the federal government.” Yet somehow, it’s not a violation of the First Amendment to forbid a teacher to publicly express his or her religious beliefs in the classroom...

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – The cesspool of destructive, racist ideology had its headwaters at the DOE. Our teachers were being trained in racism so they could then pass it along to our students while the training was being funded by our tax dollars. The valuable funding the Department provides can continue under various other departments, while the DOE itself is abolished along with its spending on...

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – I explore in detail a letter Jefferson wrote just a little over a year before his death to a young Thomas Jefferson Smith at the behest of the young man’s father. The letter is full of great advice which Jefferson lists in top ten fashion.
