CONTROVERSIAL, critical, confrontational and challenging speech is an essential part of any successful college education. Without it, institutions of higher education cannot truly be said to be preparing students for the world outside of the ivory tower.
There are so many unusual, unprecedented aspects of Donald Trump's first 100 days in office that it's hard to know where to begin. By his own yardstick, the number of promises unfulfilled is staggering.
As Bill Bishop powerfully showed several years ago in The Big Sort , we've been slowly at work over the past few decades separating ourselves into ideological enclaves. So for me the question of how the first 100 days of the Trump presidency have gone is first and foremost about we the people.
Gov. John Kasich wants to keep low-level, short-term offenders out of state prisons like this one pictured here: Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima, Ohio. Ohio budget debates are as about much policy - ideas - as they are about money.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is not usually considered a moderating force within the Democratic Party, but at the moment he is playing that role on abortion policy. It's not that he has any pro-life sympathies: He has been co-sponsoring the Freedom of Choice Act as a senator for more than two decades.
An executive order signed by President Donald Trump attempted to penalize so-called sanctuary cities.

During last year's campaign, Donald Trump promised cheering throngs that they'd eventually be so tired of winning that they'd beg for a respite from all those victories. But as President Trump's 100th day in office closes in this week, the Republican is woefully short of major legislative victories and time is running short.

WASHINGTON -- Journalist Selena Zito famously summed up President Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign when she wrote, "The press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally." In September 2016 when Zito's apt assessment appeared in The Atlantic, Gallup reported its lowest approval rating ever - of the news media.
