Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

"Where all the students are above average..."

Whatever happened to the "Gentleman's 'C'"?

GPA has become meaningless as a measure of performance.
