Speaker Mike Johnson denies request for the Rev. Jesse Jackson to lie in honor in Capitol The speaker looked to precedent where lying in state or honor in the Capitol has been reserved for former presidents, military leaders and other top officials, a GOP source said.

Jackson’s family made the request to Johnson after the civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate died Tuesday at the age of 84, the sources said. CNN was first to report the development.

These Schools Want Civil Discourse on Campus. Even That Is Up for Dispute. New programs aimed at reforming campus culture have drawn scrutiny from skeptical professors, administrators and students who see them as a conservative takeover.

The horrid Pamela Paul resurfaces at WSJ to equate "progressive overreach" with incivility in her promotion of right-wing propaganda imposed on universities. Awful.
