OK, I read the whole article and never did it explain what is either racist or discriminatory about "monkeypox." Discriminatory would imply that one group is being treated differently because of race, sex, religion, etc.; it'

I would guess that the sort of parents who let tots watch violent TV are lousy parents in a number of other respects, which would have a much bigger cumulative effect on school performance than the viewing of violent TV alone.

Whatever definition of "merit" you use doesn't change my overall point.

The disproportionate representation of Asians at highly selective colleges is indicative that merit (judged by demonstrated academic performance) is distributed in a racially uneven way, isn't it? Or do you think there is some kind of

I had to install an app called ArriveCAN to enter Canada; although it's probably innocent compared to Qatar's, I unintalled it upon returning to the US.

That would be exporting New York's problem to other cities, such as Philadelphia where the same sort of scumbags would buy them. If these were illegal guns, would you support sending them to other states?

Those of us who live in cities where we have to listen to the roar and whine of these things all night long are cheering.

Meet Me in St. Louis It's a Wonderful Life We watch one or the other of these whenever my (now adult) children are home for Christmas. It's family tradition going back to their childhood, and nobody wants to break it.

Maybe they are not marginalized from political power in the civic realm, but they are certainly considered outliers in the academic world (aside from a few evangelical colleges).

I agree about the spiritual part. Many people get wisdom, inspiration, etc. from the Bible. But people who use the Genesis timeline to calculate the age, composition, and shape of the earth, or the emergence of living species, are considere

If the indigenous voices happened to be correct in this case, it was coincidence. Fifteen thousand years is much too long a time span for oral traditions to carry any factual historical information.

Just wow. I'm embarrassed for New Zealand. An American analogy would be if the National Academy of Science were taken over by Christian creationists, and the teaching of evolution were condemned as "hurtful" etc.

"Framing Jews’ achievement as a cultural trait erroneously spreads the belief that educational success comes from adopting the “right” cultural values. But Horwitz argues that Jews value education because 'it has worked for them t

Unless I'm missing something, this would have no impact on engineers and other professional employees who are "exempt" from overtime. My nominal 40-hour work week meant nothing if there was a crisis or schedule slip that requ

"I strongly believe diversity is an equal, if not more important, driver of innovation than any tech." And that is why China will continue to eat our lunch economically.

How does the funding or political position of the Review invalidate the story told here? If you acknowlege that the facts are as laid out, is your objection that you disagree with who the good guys and bad guys are? Or do you think embarass

Care to explain the term "whiteness inherent in academia"?

That really does appear to be the main goal in leftist institutions (which pretty much includes every university) today--equality above all. Even if it requires pushing people down to the same low level to accomplish it.

The California education establishment seems to think of "Harrison Bergeron" not as a warning, but an instruction manual.

Try mindful meditation. It doesn't work for everyone, but it helped me with a lot of the same issues. There are courses available at many colleges and online; I used palousemindfulness.com, which is free.

I'm still using my SE that I got in 2016, and I hope it never breaks because it is the ideal size for my needs. It fits in either my shirt or jeans front pocket, and since I don't carry a purse, I don't know where I would put
