AN INSPIRING QUOTE OF THE DAY – AT 11:51 A.M. ET:  It comes from a student who edits a conservative newspaper at a liberal school, Claremont-McKenna, in California.  Please read his entire column, from College Fix.  Much information, much wisdom.  He says: 

As editor-in-chief of the Independent during the 2017-18 school year, I’ve learned many lessons. For starters, when I first came to Claremont, I believed that conservatives and moderates comprised a vanishingly small minority of my peers. Radical progressives held every student senate position, every fellowship, and every position of power on campus. I assumed that these people were representative of the average Claremont student.

After joining the Independent during my sophomore year, I came to know the truth: Only a small sliver of students here are sympathetic to radical campus activism. Even at these rather insular liberal arts colleges, conservatives, moderates, and sensible liberals comprise an overwhelming majority of students on campus.

I can’t count how many times such students have pulled me aside to thank us for covering a story that no other campus publication would report. Even some of the most vocal progressives on campus feed us stories every now and then. “I’m as liberal as they come,” they tell me, “but this is unacceptable. Someone has to cover this.” And we do.

COMMENT:  The words of a true journalist.  I hope he goes into journalism...if anyone will give such a young man a job.
