6:35 Curtis Houck currently serves as the Managing Editor of NewsBusters after almost two years as a news analyst in the Media Research Center’s News Analysis Division. During that time, he served as the sole evening news analyst, chronicling the best and worst of the evening network newscasts, primetime.
Media Research Center Free Speech America just dropped two bombshell reports (here and here) that illustrates perfectly about academia colluding to silence conservative voices.
- Wikipedia’s “Wiki Education” program has quietly infiltrated 7,650+ U.S. college courses since 2010, forcing 140,000 students to edit Wikipedia for class credit — and the results are jaw-dropping:
- Students in “Queering Religion” (Skidmore College) and “Queer of Color Critique” (UC Berkeley) add entries on transgenderism and queer slang like “bussy” and “power bottom.”
- This creates a permanent pipeline of far-left activist editors who go on to become Wikipedia’s most aggressive admins.
- Newsmax, the Daily Wire, and MRC are among those outlets systematically blacklisted as sources.
- Wiki Education took $3.9 million in grants, and its staff donated $36K+ to Democrats including Kamala Harris.
- Apple News just ran a full seven-day blackout (Nov 8–14) of every major right-leaning outlet from its “Top Stories” — including the Daily Mail and the New York Post. Zero stories. 93 of the 140 top spots went to left/left-leaning outlets. This is algorithmic censorship on steroids.
Taken together, these stories show how the left now controls both the present (Apple News) and the future (Wiki Education) of information — and they’re deliberately freezing out Fox News and conservative voices at every turn.

Health Watch: CDC Edits Website on Vaccines and Autism
I hope your family is not affected by the autism epidemic, but you probably know someone who is. It was unheard of when I was a child, but as the graph shows, prevalence has increased more than 3,200 percent since 1970.
The CDC has constantly claimed that “Vaccines do not cause autism.” This header remains on the CDC website with an asterisk, which notes that “the header has not been removed due to an agreement with the chair of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that it would remain on the CDC website.”
“Key points” now state that: “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism” and that “Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”
An official CDC press release notes: “This statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy.”
MedPage Today immediately published a strong critique, calling these points “bizarre,” and quoting officials of organized medicine and autism advocacy associations. They claim that the formerly trustworthy CDC has been “dismantled” by Secretary Kennedy. American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) president Susan Kressly, M.D., stated that “Anyone repeating this harmful myth is misinformed or intentionally trying to mislead parents.”
Officially accepted authorities hold that the autism epidemic, if not entirely attributable to a change in diagnostic criteria, is of unknown cause. The incidence rising along with increasing numbers of childhood vaccinations has been dismissed as coincidental, mere correlation.
A recent hypothesis suggests use of acetaminophen (Tylenol) by pregnant mothers. Extensive research into a genetic cause has shown some predisposing factors—but genetics can’t explain an epidemic. Older fathers, exposure to trace environmental toxins, microplastics, antidepressants, cerebral folate deficiency, and exposure to outdoor air pollution during pregnancy are suggested contributors, but observational studies of links to autism do not include vaccines as a confounding factor.
The CDC acknowledgment appeared 3 weeks after the McCullough Foundation published a comprehensive review of the literature on autism titled “Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder.” Of 136 studies evaluating vaccines or their ingredients, 107 (79%) identified evidence consistent with a vaccine–autism link.
If the childhood vaccination schedule increases the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and ADHD, the implications are profound. Mandates for school attendance have decreased the potential control group of unvaccinated children to a very small group. If parents were informed of a possible connection, and allowed to choose to delay or forgo certain vaccines, careful tracking of children’s health should help to answer the question about a link within a few years.

SOU Women’s Wrestling
By Dennis Powers
SOU’s wrestling teams have been a standout for years – and that’s another story – due to Bob Riehm and Mike Ritchey, both past head coaches for 25 years each. The Raiders went 270-71-2 in dual meets under Riehm with three NAIA Championships, national accolades, and earning National Coach of the Year twice. Ritchey, who wrestled (four times an All-American) and coached under Bob Riehm, added a NAIA Championship and twice National Coach of the Year.
Mike Ritchey with President Roy Saigo in 2015 over a weekend worked out the program for a woman’s wrestling team. Ritchey oversaw the SOU’s women’s wrestling program from 2017-19, before Joel Gibson (another SOU All-American) took over the duties to coach both men’s and women’s wrestling teams. Although having retired years before, Bob Riehm – who passed away at age 83 in 2020 – left a $3 million donation to SOU in 2022. One-third of this gift endows the men’s wrestling head coach position (allowing for a new women’s coach), and the other two-thirds funds scholarships for wrestlers,
The men continued to support the women’s team. In 2021-‘22, the Raider women with Coach Joel Gibson won a program-best second-place at the NAIA National Invitational tournament; four placed later at the U.S. Open tournament, including Sienna Ramirez who won and was on the U.S. freestyle world team. The next year, the SOU women’s wrestling team was undefeated at 8-0, winning its first National Duals championship, overall National Team championship, as well as its first Cascade Conference title. Three Raiders won championships in their weight class with seven individual All-Americans.
With interim coach, Joye Levendusky (a previous All-American), SOU’s Carolina Moreno and Caitlyn Davis in 2024 topped off their undefeated seasons with individual titles, boosting the Raiders to third place in the final team standings. Moreno was never scored on in her third consecutive championship and was the Women’s Small College Athlete of the Year.
In 2025, the wrestling team finished the NAIA Championships with five top-six All-Americans and the No. 7 spot in the national standings. Katlyn Monroe then became the coach for the 2025-2026 season that’s now underway. Monroe was the head coach at Alma College (Michigan), an NCAA Division III program that launched its first varsity season in 2023-24 under her guidance. She was an All-American for the Campbellsville teams that captured back-to-back NAIA Invitational championships in 2021 and ’22, placing third at 123 pounds and fifth at 130.
The team, again, is off to a fine start. Carolina Moreno is wrestling at the national freestyle level and is SOU’s Assistant Women’s Wrestling Coach, The defending-champion SOU’s women’s wrestling team was picked second behind Providence (Mont.) in the CCC coaches’ preseason poll.
