  • “What Happened at Georgetown Law with Covid?” – For questioning Covid restrictions, Georgetown Law suspended William Spruance from campus, forced him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, required him to waive his right to medical confidentiality, and threatened to report him to state bar associations, according to Spruance’s own account in Brownstone.

  • “I fear my liberal parenting led to son becoming Jihadi Jack” – In a new autobiography, the mother of the suspected Islamic State fighter known as Jihadi Jack says she wonders if her “over-liberal” parenting style may have ultimately driven her son, Jack Letts, to leave the U.K. to live under Isis’s so-called caliphate, the Times report.
  • “Tavistock trans clinic ‘still treating children’ despite closure order” – The Tavistock Centre was ordered to close its doors in July after a damning report found it was “not safe” for children, yet up to 1,000 children are still “receiving treatment” at the facility and about 8,000 remain on the waiting list for the Gender Identity Development Service (Gids), the Mail reports.
  • “Salman Rushdie leads backlash against ‘woke’ publishing censors” – Salman Rushdie calls the appalling edits to Roald Dahl’s books “absurd censorship”, and says “Puffin Books and the Dahl estate should be ashamed”, the Mail reports.

  • “School staff would ‘not feel comfortable’ working with Enoch Burke if he returns” – Enoch Burke, the dismissed teacher at the centre of a transgender row, is expected to return to Wilson’s Hospital School next week, but staff at the school would not feel comfortable working with him again, the Times reports.
  • “ChatGPT will tell a joke in the style of Seinfeld, but not Dave Chappelle” – The woke bot says “humour should be fun and inclusive, not hurtful and divisive”.
