Two professors discuss the removal of Western Civilization courses from major American university curricula. They argue that by failing to teach the foundations of the West, schools are leaving students without a cultural foundation, making them susceptible to "social justice" ideologies. Only a small fraction of the 3,000 major U.S. colleges still require these courses.

Millennial Tech Magnet Middle School in San Diego was placed on a two-hour lockdown after an 11-year-old student brought a homemade motion detector to class. Despite the device being a harmless science project made from a Gatorade bottle and wires, police and the arson strike team were called. The student was not prosecuted but was ordered to undergo counseling, which the hosts criticize as an irrational overreaction by school authorities.
