Making Society ‘Equal’ Is Unfair

Commentary America’s cultural elites have a pathological obsession with equal representation (meaning equal outcomes) in many areas of our society. Countless schools, universities, and corporations now have some sort of diversity and inclusion director, which is just a fancy title for an overpaid activist who helps shape outcomes based on the idea that when equality…


Ending Big Tech Tyranny

Commentary On Monday, Justice Clarence Thomas announced that the Supreme Court soon will have to put an end to big tech tyranny.

Dancing With the Woke: It’s Time for Liberals to Change Partners

Commentary “Woke” is one of the presently accepted terms employed to celebrate the presumed superiority of the neo-Marxist “social justice warrior.” “Wokeness” is a particularly useful ideological brand for Western Marxists because it allows them to disassociate themselves from inconvenient historical labels such as Bolsheviks, Nazis, Fascists, and Maoists and confuse their opponents by adopting…


How ‘Inclusion’ in Canadian Universities Becomes Exclusion

The Woke New University

Commentary Historically, universities were institutions devoted to the pursuit of truth.

Civics and History Education Is at a Crossroads

Commentary In the current academic climate, teaching social justice has become more important than content. This is especially true in the fields of history and civic education. For example, teacher training at the University of Illinois is centered around social justice, as more than one student teacher has related to me during informal interviews. Where…


Stop Picking at the Scab of Racism

Commentary This week in San Francisco, students posted hateful comments about blacks and Jews on a virtual bulletin board that was specifically set up to combat racism, right after a schoolroom lesson on anti-racism.
