If emotional blackmail were a Federal Crime, former Middlebury College President Laurie Patton would be serving a life sentence. Here she is clutching her pearls to bemoan eugenics: "Eugenics is a subject that should strike us at our core, requiring that we confront our values, our history, and some difficult choices around legacy and accountability. Based in early 20th-century notions of racial purity and “human betterment,” eugenics policies sought to isolate and prevent the procreation of so-called “delinquents, dependents, and defectives” to bring about a more “desirable” society. Such policies were enacted through the involuntary confinement of community members in state schools, hospitals, and other facilities—and the unconscionable practice of forced sterilization. According to ample scholarly research in this area, victims of Vermont eugenics included people who were poor; who suffered from mental illness, incurable diseases, and physical disabilities; so-called “illegitimate children,” French Canadians, Abenakis, women more than men, those who were illiterate, and people of mixed racial ancestry. All were targets. Eugenics policies separated families, caused untold individual suffering, and left lasting physical and emotional scars." middlebury.edu/announcements/… She said this to smear Governor John Mead for mentioning eugenics ONCE in 1912, a devout Christian alumnus who built the college the iconic Mead Memorial Chapel on campus. What she ODDLY FORGOT TO MENTION? THE ENTIRE COLLEGE TAUGHT EUGENICS FROM 1896-1946, HELD CONFERENCES, AND ONE PRESIDENT CHAIRED A EUGENICS COMMITTEE. legalinsurrection.com/2023/06/middle… Yet, because of her crocodile tears, the trustees of the college voted to strip the Mead family name from the chapel and deface it, and impugn Governor Mead, one of the most beloved and famous alumni of the college, who left his junior year there in 1863 to voluntarily enlist to fight in the War Between The States. Hypocrisy, thy name is Laurie Patton. Perfidy, your patron saint is Laurie Patton. Despicable woman. And now this vile, treacherous Cultural Bolshevik is head of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Long march through the institutions, indeed. middlebury.edu/announcements/… Look upon this virtue-signalling face and weep for American Heritage.

Remember that, at Middlebury College, a course called "White People" is taught where "White People" are the ones with "privilege, aggrieved entitlement, and violence." No other races are described as violent. Seems an purposeful inversion of reality. The course is to be taught again in Spring 2027. Aren't they receiving federal tax dollars? Where is the Fed Dept of Ed? catalog.middlebury.edu/offerings/view…

Here's a quick test to see if an AI program is valid. Ask it: "Has any Middlebury College President admitted or addressed the college's vast eugenics program which ran from 1896-1946." If it says yes, it is garbage. Try it. Most likely it will say, "Yes, President Laurie Patton addressed the college's eugenics history when she stripped the Mead family name off of the Mead Memorial Chapel", but that is false. She neatly OMITTED the college's history when she discussed eugenics and the SINGLE statement of Governor Mead. Read it. Show me where she discussed the college's history. middlebury.edu/stories/archiv… Governor Mead mentioned eugenics ONCE in 1912 (on behalf of the college, whose trustees URGED him to push the 1912 eugenics bill forward. meadmemorialchapel.com/documents/Midd… The college, on the other hand, had two summer eugenics conferences in 1913 and 1914, taught eugenics in 4 disciplines, had some classes mandatory, and were a prominent force for the passage of the 1931 sterilization legislation (which passed 11 years after Mead died). meadmemorialchapel.com/documents/Midd… Let's recap: TO DATE, no Middlebury College President has EVER admitted or addressed or disavowed their vast eugenics program. The college still hides it and refuses to publicly apologize for it. Check your AI to see if it can discern this. If it gives you another answer, it is garbage. meadmemorialchapel.net/lawsuit/docume…

So of the NESCAC colleges, Williams, Trinity, Tufts, and Amherst decided that it was fine to support Middlebury College in this lawsuit so that their vast eugenics program that ran for 50 years (1896-1946) could not be openly discussed? Do the students of those colleges even know about this support? Middlebury has never admitted or disavowed its eugenics program, and there is no mention of it on their website. I thought modern Progressives dislike Eugenics. Why would they then support one of the country's top eugenics teaching colleges? Aren't institutions that perpetrated harm to marginalized communities supposed to apologize and admit they did harm? meadmemorialchapel.com/middleburyeuge… Here is the Amicus Brief where many NESCAC colleges signed on to block a lawsuit regarding eugenics and the truth of the college's history. meadmemorialchapel.net/lawsuit/docume…

Freya is a European bison at a rewilding project on the Rhug Estate in Denbighshire. She weighs roughly 600 kilograms. She is approximately five years old and she is, technically, the largest land mammal in Britain. This is a fact that the conservation press would like you to find moving. Freya is performing a job that the conservation press has only recently discovered. Specifically, she is grazing. Heavily, intermittently, and on her own schedule, in a pattern that the staff describe as "ecosystem engineering" because that sounds like a planned outcome rather than a side effect. The grazing pattern she performs is the grazing pattern that European bison have performed for the entire history of European bison. It is also, almost exactly, the grazing pattern that British cattle have performed in lowland Britain for the entire history of British cattle. The difference is that Freya is being studied by ecologists who write papers, while the Hereford in the field next door is being studied by an economist who writes off the farmer's subsidy. When Freya grazes a hawthorn, it is described as "restoration." When the Hereford grazes a hawthorn, it is described as "agricultural pressure." When Freya creates a wallow in the mud, it is described as "habitat creation for invertebrates." When the Hereford does the same, it is described as "poaching the ground." When Freya defecates in a meadow, it is described as "nutrient cycling that supports a complex web of dung beetles and birds." When the Hereford does the same, it is described as "manure." Freya is a bison. The Hereford is a cow. They are the same animal doing the same job on the same landscape. One of them is on a conservation magazine cover. The other is on a methane spreadsheet, and the only difference between the two animals, as far as a botanist counting wildflowers in either field would be able to tell you, is the press release.

Every single family member should be arrested, convicted and deported for failure to render aid.
Anglo Invictus@AngloInvictus

It's actually much, much worse than the family just "ridiculing" him. The entire family broke up tasks to try and help the attacker get away with murder. The brother called the police to report that they were victims of a racially motivated attack "because they are Sikhs and wearing turbans". The mother took the knife home to wash it and hide it among all the other weapons they are uniquely allowed to have as Sikhs. The father, on video, kept saying the boy was not stabbed. That he was just drunk and was pretending in order to get out of trouble for his racism. Understand this: Henry Nowak didn't drown in his own blood, handcuffed in the street just because he ran into the wrong foreigner and incompetent police responded. He died this way because the entire family instinctively took the side of their kin, no matter what that meant. Their family member had just stabbed a kid repeatedly for legitimately nothing and every single person in the family did their part to try and get him out of it, instantly and without question. If you are still looking at the issue of multiculturalism with some nuance and trying to figure out who gets remigrated and who will be allowed to stay, it's because you do not understand averages when it comes to how brown people think. They share none of the same sense of honor you have. There is no thought of a greater good. There are no moral considerations made. There is only what benefits their co-ethnics, right now, and they will always act as a single unit to achieve whatever gives them the biggest win. Sometimes that looks like an entire family coming together in an instant to cover up a completely senseless murder. Sometimes that looks like Muhammad abducting a 10 year old girl and then calling up 20 other Muhammads that will take turns raping her. Sometimes that looks like a career criminal overdosing on a fentanyl/meth combo during an arrest, and then his race comes together to burn entire cities down as retaliation. They are not like you. They are all like this. You need to start coming to terms with the fact that they are all going to have to go, and you're going to have to play the same game as them to get your country back.

Over half of all Americans attend some form of ‘higher education’ today, something that was once reserved for a small cohort of people. A large chunk of them don’t even get a degree - just the debt. Closing down 75% of universities will not result in any loss to mind or culture, will save people a lot of $$, and will force schools to fire administrators and focus on research and teaching - for students who actually belong there and want to be there. Pinching off these schools is a good thing.

Clemson is $1.5B in debt. Syracuse is closing or pausing 93 programs, UNC-Chapel Hill plans to cut spending by $89M over 3 years. Duke recently let 600 employees go in a $350M budget cut. Indiana public colleges announced a plan to eliminate or merge 580 programs statewide.

The college enrollment cliff is no longer a forecast. It is happening right now, and the damage is showing up everywhere: Clemson is $1.5 billion in debt. Syracuse just eliminated 93 academic programs, 55 of which had zero students enrolled. UNC-Chapel Hill is cutting $89 million over three years. Duke let 600 employees go in a $350 million budget reduction. Indiana's higher education commission voted to eliminate or merge 580 degree programs across all public universities. The University of Vermont is projecting a 15% drop in its freshman class. Vermont alone has had five college closures in the last three years. These are not small schools nobody has heard of. These are flagship state universities and elite private institutions. The projections are brutal. High school graduates peaked at roughly 3.9 million in 2025 and will now decline steadily through 2041. A 15% drop in college-age students is expected by 2029. A worst-case scenario from a December 2024 study projects up to 80 additional college closures per year through 2029. Since 2020, more than 48 public and private colleges have already shut down. US births peaked at 4.3 million in 2007. The birth rate dropped 4% between 2007 and 2009 and never recovered. 2026 is 18 years later. The baby bust generation just hit college age, and there are not enough of them to fill America's universities. The American university system was built for a population that no longer exists. Tuition kept rising while the number of 18-year-olds started falling. The endowments of Harvard and Stanford will be fine. Everyone else is fighting over a shrinking pie with a cost structure designed for a world where 4.3 million babies were born every year. That world ended in 2007. The bill just came due.

As much as it pains me to say so, I am calling on the Trump administration to immediately defund my alma mater, Middlebury College, over its racist DEI curriculum. This trash has no place being taught in an institution that is funded by taxpayer dollars. catalog.middlebury.edu/courses/view/c…

John Mead volunteered for the Union Army in 1862 for a nine month enlistment. He became a physician, then later saved the Howe Scale Company, served on the board of railroads and banks, became the wealthiest man in the state, then became Governor of Vermont. He also built the most beautiful white marble chapel for his alma mater. But you don't think his opinion mattered. meadmemorialchapel.com/documents/meet…

Those women look remarkably fit and healthy. I think it would be reasonable to ask - "are they a product of the college's vast eugenics program"? The college has NEVER publicly admitted or disavowed its historical eugenics program, which ran for 50 years. Still, to this day, no President of the college has made any public statement to disavow it. legalinsurrection.com/2023/06/middle…

Thanks for the link. I see in your profile that you’re not associated with Jim Douglas, but he’s one of the most famous alumni (‘68) of East Longmeadow high school in Massachusetts; he then went to Middlebury and held elective office(s) for almost half a century. He certainly seems to have the better legal argument here (Mead explicitly made it a memorial, explicitly designed the signage, and both sides used language of enduring forever). The brief also does a good job on the legally irrelevant but politically useful issue of pointing out that the college itself emphasized eugenics for decades, as opposed to a single speech by Mead that arguably invoked it.

This is all tied to the triumph of Progressivism in Vermont and one of the sources of the rot is Middlebury College. Just search Douglass Mackey's posts for the college and you will see the devolution of society writ large. Middlebury College is a cesspool of morality. meadmemorialchapel.net/lawsuit/docume…

Now do Middlebury. The college is comfortable lying about a decent loyal alumnus that built them their iconic white marble chapel. The college hid their 50 year eugenics history and scapegoated John Mead who advocated for eugenics ONCE - because he was urged by his friends at the college. The college refuses to tell the truth about this matter. realcleareducation.com/articles/2025/…
