Listen to any dispatch in the Grok vocal voices — a benefit of membership.
Clinton Community College has opened a state-subsidized training track in manufacturing and technology from which every male student is formally barred. The decision, backed by fifty thousand dollars in public money, was challenged in a federal complaint by economist Mark Perry as straightforward sex discrimination under Title IX.
The administrators who crafted the initiative act as agents of the Managerial Priesthood that now rules most colleges. They treat public resources as instruments for enforcing a new hierarchy in which historic competence is recast as privilege and male exclusion is presented as justice.
This exclusion repeats an ancient rupture. When the first universities of Christendom arose at Bologna and Paris, they admitted students according to capacity and calling rather than sex-based quotas; the order of the household and the order of the guild remained distinct yet open to merit. The present policy inverts that inheritance.
The governing principle violated here is the objective moral order that Scripture and the creeds declare: equal justice before the law and stewardship according to created nature. No civil authority possesses the right to allocate technical training by sex while claiming the authority of the state.
Once the principle is surrendered, every subsequent policy follows with mechanical certainty. The same logic that bars men from manufacturing courses will bar them from apprenticeships, from contracts, from entire trades, until the household economy itself is placed under administrative supervision.
The faithful remnant must therefore withdraw consent from every institution that practices this discrimination. Tax support for such programs must cease, and parallel centers of technical formation must be established under the authority of fathers and guilds rather than state grants.
The judgment is already written in the refusal of the college to defend its policy on equal terms. Either the law will again protect the sons of the nation in their own workshops, or the workshops will pass to those who still understand that authority is ordered, not invented.
