Continuing its descent into total madness and depravity despite efforts by the Trump administration, Harvard has officially hired a drag queen named “LaWhore Vagistan” to teach “queer ethnography” and “RuPaulitics.” Critics expressed outrage over the tax-funded institution’s debauchery. &nbsp; The far-left university publicly announced that Kareem Khubchandani, also an associate professor at Tufts University, would be joining its Women, Gender, and Sexuality department as a visiting professor. He is known for teaching his classes in his drag persona, according to news reports.The new Harvard courses, brought about by the university’s “Gender and Sexuality Caucus,” have sparked a firestorm of controversy since being announced over the summer. The decision came after President Trump unfroze billions in tax funding. The courses will explore “drag history,” “pleasure,” critical theory applied to race and gender, and more. &nbsp; &nbsp;The class description for Khubchandani’s class on “Queer Ethnography” is very revealing. “This class introduces students in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies to ethnographic research methods as they pertain to exploring questions of bodies, pleasure, power, and desire,” the website reads, without defining “women” (perhaps they have no biologists?).The description of the “RuPaulitics” class is even more preposterous. Among other absurdities, Harvard promises it will examine “contemporary and historical drag archives, as well as critical readings on race and gender.” This will give students “robust tools to analyze drag, live performance, and queer and trans cultures more broadly,” the site explains.In a “self-interview” published in 2015 between Khubchandani and his drag persona, the individual teaching the class said his preferred pronouns were “she or aunty.” The reason for “LaWhore,” he said, is because his ancestors come from Pakistan, “and well, I’m a bit of a whore.” The name Vagistan, meanwhile, was chosen because he sees the Indian subcontinent “as one, big, beautiful Vag … istan,” he added.Further explaining how the subcontinent seems like female reproductive organs in his mind, the academic elaborated. “Close your eyes and visualize it: India is the uterus-vagina, Pakistan and Bangladesh are the ovaries, Afghanistan, Nepal, Burma, and Bhutan and the fallopian tubes, and Sri Lanka is a little floating labia,” he said.In addition to his penchant for dressing up as a woman and indoctrinating students, Khubchandani is known for several books he has written promoting sodomy, gender confusion, and more. His works include “Decolonize Drag” and “Ishtyle: Accenting Gay Indian Nightlife.”He also wrote “Lessons in Drag” about “the intersection of academia and drag.” “Lessons in Drag brings to life a vibrant and thought-provoking dialogue between scholar Kareem Khubchandani and his drag persona LaWhore Vagistan,” reads the book’s <a href="https://brandeisuniversitypress.com/title/lessons-in-drag-a-queer-manual-for-academics-artists-and-aunties/" id="">description</a>, boasting of a “tapestry of drag’s instructive power” with “transformative potential.”The nutty professor has multiple academic degrees including a PhD in “Performance Studies” from Northwestern University. He also has a bachelors in sociology and anthropology from Colgate University. It was not immediately clear how much tax money has been squandered so far on “Vagistan’s” so-called academic pursuits.Unfortunately, drag mania is not limited to Harvard or even universities. Just last year, what organizers described <a href="https://www.freedomproject.com/2024/10/16/tnr20241016/" id="">as a “demonic” drag show steeped in the occult</a> was hosted by the University of Southern California. Known as “Drag me to hell,” the horror-themed drag festival was marketed as a “one-of-a-kind Halloween event” for students. Even victims of government-run K-12 schools are being bombarded with gender-bending “drag queen” propaganda. Starting as early as Kindergarten, “Drag Queen Story Hour” with men dressed as grotesque caricatures of women are being hosted at public schools to read LGBT propaganda to children.Hypersexualized drag shows in government schools are happening even in conservative states such as Iowa, <a href="https://www.freedomproject.com/2022/10/12/newman-report-52/" id="">where a “satanic drag queen” with fake blood all over his face danced provocatively for cheering students in the school assembly</a>. The story sparked a national scandal after outraged moms spoke out.In Colorado, drag queen “Jessica L’Whor” was brought in for “career day” at Rocky Top Middle School to inspire students to pursue jobs in perversion. The scandal, which involved multiple classes full of children from 6th to 8th grade, drew fury from parents who were not even notified. The district defended the move, saying “L’Whor” helped represent “the diverse backgrounds and careers in the community.”<figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-image " data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align=""><div id=""><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66450044188dfe741d77c31e/68f1edc7efa1b63bbc40e947_3364780_1225x377_2500-1024x315.jpeg" alt="" width="auto" height="auto" loading="auto" id=""></div></figure>This sort of madness and depravity is made possible by the outrageous taxpayer subsidies offered to Harvard and other institutions of alleged higher learning. Stopping it would be simple: State and federal lawmakers must defund this evil before it pollutes and corrupts the hearts and minds of even more young victims.

Your Taxes at Work: Harvard Hires Drag Queen to Teach “Queer Ethnography”

Drag queen named “LaWhore Vagistan” to lead students in 'exploring questions of bodies, pleasure, power, and desire'

Most American voters believe education decisions should be made locally and not by Washington bureaucrats, according to a new survey.The Center Square <a href="https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_5f7c5556-dc2d-4b45-a21b-3eecc56c07be.html" id="">poll</a>, which surveyed 2,565 voters, found that only 11% of respondents think the federal government should set standards for curriculum, testing, and school choice. In contrast, 33% said local school districts should set education standards (including 41% of Democrats), while 27% favored giving that authority to the states.Another 23% said parents should have the final say over education standards—a view supported by 32% of Republicans but only 13% of Democrats.<h2 id="">Federal vs. Local Control</h2>President Trump has advocated for returning control of education to the states, seeking to shrink or even dismantle the Department of Education. Some of the agency’s responsibilities have already been transferred. Special needs and nutrition programs are moving to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Workforce development programs are shifting to the Department of Labor.However, greater state control may not always mean more freedom for parents or students. Some states, like Washington, have <a href="https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/fight-over-parental-rights-washingtonhttps://www.fox13seattle.com/news/fight-over-parental-rights-washington" id="">passed</a> laws preventing parents from opting their children out of classes promoting gender ideology.Even homeschooling families face increasing scrutiny. In Illinois, for example, lawmakers have <a href="https://www.thegoldreport.com/news/illinois-bill-aims-to-place-homeschooling-under-government-oversight" id="">pushed</a> to expand state oversight of homeschooling—posing a challenge to the 23% of Americans who believe parents should have the most control over education.<h2 id="">Homeschooling on the Rise</h2>Homeschooling is the <a href="https://admissionsly.com/homeschooling-statistics/" id="">fastest-growing</a> form of education in the United States. In 2024, an estimated 4.2 to 4.3 million children—about 7.6% of the school-age population—were homeschooled, up from 3.7 million in 2023. The number has more than doubled since 2019, driven in part by pandemic-era changes in education. According to some <a href="https://www.thegoldreport.com/news/half-of-american-children-will-escape-government-education-by-2030-says-report" id="">projections</a>, roughly 50% of American children are expected to be homeschooled by 2030.California leads the nation with 547,561 homeschooled children (13% of all homeschoolers), followed by Texas with 440,666 (10.5%) and New York with 220,990 (5.3%).Home education is gaining traction even in high-performing school districts. In 2022, more than 60,000 children were homeschooled in districts ranking in the top 20% nationwide for academic achievement.<h2 id="">Academic and Personal Success</h2>Research consistently <a href="https://frontline.news/post/homeschoolers-top-government-schooled-children-in-everything" id="">shows</a> homeschoolers outperform their public school peers in nearly every area. On standardized tests, homeschoolers score over 30 percentage points higher in reading, language, and math. On the SAT, homeschooled students average 70 points higher in critical reading and 48 points higher in writing. In college, homeschoolers are more likely to earn higher GPAs than their public-schooled peers.The trend holds across demographics: Black homeschooled students outperform Black public school students by 23 to 42 percentage points, and government data show that 41% of homeschoolers are Black, Asian, Hispanic, or other minorities.Beyond academics, most homeschoolers report being more satisfied with life and work than their public-school counterparts—suggesting that freedom in education may foster not just achievement, but also happiness.‍

Recent data and statements from international officials suggest that reports of a famine in Gaza were deliberately exaggerated.On August 22, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC)—a group created by the United Nations to assess hunger crises—declared that Gaza was experiencing a famine. The IPC’s own methodology estimates that in a “Phase 5” famine, approximately two people per 10,000 die each day from hunger-related causes, while a “Phase 4” emergency assumes one death per 10,000 per day.Based on the IPC’s most recent report, which classified roughly 500,000 Gazans in Phase 5 and 1.07 million in Phase 4, those figures would imply more than 10,000 famine-related deaths between August 22 and October 7. However, Hamas officials reported just 461 deaths from malnutrition during that period—a 98 percent shortfall compared to projections.These numbers emerged after the IPC quietly rewrote its own famine standards so it could declare one in Gaza. Typically, the IPC assesses whether there is a famine by measuring the height and weight of children in an affected area. If 30% of children are found to be suffering from acute malnutrition, the IPC considers it a famine.But in its July 29th report on Gaza, the IPC quietly changed its standards, the Washington Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/israel/un-backed-famine-watchdog-quietly-changed-standards-easing-way-to-declare-famine-in-gaza/" id="">reported</a>. Instead of using detailed height and weight measurements, the IPC measured children’s mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), a metric considered far less precise. In addition, the IPC halved its acute malnutrition metric from 30% to 15%.The group was then able to declare a famine after determining that in Gaza City, 16.5% of children were malnourished based on MUAC. In Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis, the two other cities studied by the IPC, the number was just 8%.The IPC’s conclusion was cited by legacy media outlets to accuse Israel of “starving” Gazans.“If you keep pulling the thread here, you start to understand this is one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated on the world,” former National Security Council official Richard Goldberg said. “There is no famine in Gaza—the data thresholds don’t support that claim—and yet we have the United Nations changing the rules to fit the desired political outcome.”<h2 id="">A manufactured narrative</h2>And although the IPC declared a famine on August 22nd, a World Health Organization (WHO) official recently revealed that discussions about accusing Israel of perpetrating a famine in Gaza started as early as December 2023—just two months after the Hamas massacre of Israelis.Dr. Michel Thieren, the WHO’s representative to Israel, revealed on the Mosaïque podcast that as early as October 8, 2023—the day after Hamas slaughtered more than 1,200 Israelis—his professional circles had already decided Israel was to blame. By December, at a Geneva meeting involving UN and WHO officials, Thieren said the discussion had shifted to how to “scientifically demonstrate” a famine in Gaza.“At the very end of the meeting – I won’t say exactly where, and it wasn’t necessarily at the WHO, rest assured – there was a gathering of experts who asked the question quite forcefully. I was there, and I was absolutely stunned. What they were saying, essentially, was that one should try to find a term that could be used to exert pressure. So yes, I was very shocked by that,” Thieren said, as <a href="https://www.jpost.com/international/article-871851" id="">quoted</a> by the Jerusalem Post.“So when these people were saying it would be necessary to demonstrate famine, the guilt had already been assigned [to Israel],” he added. “When we talk about genocide, the WHO never went there, others did – but very early, these people pronounced these two terms [genocide and famine], they were thrown out right from the start. So the crimes were already predetermined, and then the organizations tried to demonstrate them. And for me, that is not normal at all.”‍

Even as Ireland grapples with anti-immigration riots, the country has elected a radical Left-wing president who has promised to welcome migrants across its borders.Catherine Connolly, a proud socialist, defeated the country’s two largest parties by winning 63.4% of the vote on Friday—more than double than that of her rival, Fine Gael nominee Heather Humphreys. It was the highest percentage of votes of any president in Ireland’s history. In her victory speech, Connolly vowed to be “an inclusive president” and “shape a new republic … that values and champions diversity … and the new people that have come to our country.”Connolly’s open support for Hamas and disdain for Israel are mainstream views in Ireland, whose citizens have long been passionate advocates for the Islamic pro-Palestine movement.<h2 id="">Anti-immigration riots</h2>Connolly’s election victory came after three days of riots in Dublin following the rape of a 10-year-old Irish girl by a Muslim Afghan migrant. Rioters gathered outside a hotel known to be housing migrants and clashed with police, setting a police car on fire and injuring four officers. At least 24 demonstrators were arrested.It was the second wave of riots this year. In June, violent protests erupted across Northern Ireland after two migrants, reportedly from Romania, sexually assaulted a teenage girl. An estimated 107 police officers were injured and 56 people were arrested.The riots reflect growing frustrations among native Irish citizens, who are repeatedly slammed as “racist” by their government for demanding tighter immigration policies.In November 2023, after an Algerian Muslim migrant stabbed three small children and an adult outside a day school, Irish government officials accused protesters of “hate.” Then-Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar warned citizens not to blame migrants for an uptick in crime.Three months prior, another Algerian Muslim, 30-year-old Mohamed Akrouf, was <a href="https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/man-accused-grafton-street-stabbing-30752233" id="">arrested </a>for stabbing a young man on Grafton Street in Dublin.&nbsp;That same August, a 29-year-old Algerian migrant named Lokman Benharkou launched an “extremely violent” attack on two women. When a man came to their aid, Benharkou stomped on his head a number of times, knocking him unconscious and causing serious facial injuries.The Irish government insists that serious crimes like homicide and sexual assault have decreased with migration, but officials refuse to publish crime statistics by migrant status or nationality.‍
