Commentary Over the past 50 years, we have reorganized American and Canadian societies to favor and benefit less successful racial and ethnic minorities, particularly African Americans and Canadians, Hispanics, and American Indians in the United States and First Nations in Canada. Females are included, not because they’re underperforming, but because of past constraints. This is…
Philadelphia Police Will Not Stop Drivers for Minor Traffic Violations
A broken taillight is no longer enough to get drivers pulled over by the Philadelphia Police Department. The city council has changed policies and now directs police to stand down from minor violations such as driving without an updated registration, certificate of inspection, or evidence of an emission inspection.

How Hatred in the Name of Equality is Deemed Virtuous
Commentary It is curious, and perhaps not coincidental, that the searchers-out and punishers of so-called hate speech have not yet turned their attention to expressions of class hatred. It is curious because class hatred and its associated policy, economic egalitarianism, were probably responsible for as many deaths in the twentieth century as racism, if not…

American Supporters of Socialism Don’t Realize Its Absence of Equality, Environmental Care, Justice: Educator
America’s younger generations—many of whom support socialist policies that claim to be a path to achieving equality, the environment, and justice—are unaware that these claims quickly become empty promises once socialism is in action, said Zilvinas Silenas, president of the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE).

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.

The Fascistic Drive for Equality
Commentary We live in an age of social engineering, in which unprecedentedly large numbers of people know, or think that they know, what is best for society. They mistrust spontaneity, believing it necessarily to result in injustice, and have a profound faith in their own wise guidance, under which humanity will at last be led…
