CAMBRIDGE — Harvard College administrators earlier this week apologized for placing in college dining halls "holiday placemats for social justice," which featured a list of talking points for dealing with politically incorrect family members over the holiday break.
The placemats included a four-topic primer on how students can explain Harvard's decision to dump the "house master" title, defend policies welcoming Syrian refugees, argue in favor of establishing "safe spaces" and convince skeptics that blacks are treated unfairly by police.
The Republicans have sucked all the oxygen out of the room with a race that's finally getting really interesting. Bernie Sanders is vanishing into irrelevance and the Hillary Clinton story of the Republican week was about how she is losing traction with the new generation of women voters. Not exactly the attention she and the party want.
Feminism just ain't what it used to be. If the suffragettes are ancient history, remembered for heroism in an antique age (with the help of a major motion picture), Hillary Clinton's run for the feminist vote suggests vintage clothes, ankle-length skirts and granny glasses, styles she wore when she was a mere governor's wife in Little Rock back in the '90s.
