Ironically, that formerly noncontroversial statement would be considered "racist" by today's wokesters.

The less optimistic possibility is that soon the only people left at elite institutions will be woke leftists, as the classic liberals all resign.

Given the demographics of the neighborhood this train was serving, it is a reasonable assumption that most of the passengers were black.

Exactly. I don't move in the sort of crowds where people ask for "gender pronouns," but if someone did, I would find it goofy, at best, and likely offensive.

Are you saying the story is fabricated? Or that it is true, but should not have been reported?

It is probably impossible to disband the mob, but it does not have to be given power. It is up to the leaders of universities and corporations to have the moral courage to stand up to the mob and ignore its outrageous demands.

"That includes having conversations with the teens’ mothers. 'Nobody wants to see their kid get shot or killed or hurt, especially the mothers. We’ve done a lot of work with moms in this unit'” What about the fathers? It'

When I lived in California, I always thought it was bizarre that cars were allowed on the road without having to display at least a temporary license plate. In the other 49 states, new cars leave the lot with a temporary but full-sized card

The anti-vaxxers are certainly misguided, but I don't see how this constitutes "hate." You could apply the same logic to the anti-GMO and anti-nuke crowd.

Having all students through Grade 10 taking the same classes will inevitably result in watering down the curriculum, as the material and expectations will have to accomodate the slowest students. Replacing Algebra 1 with "Algebra conce

From a conversation I had once with a pair of starry-eyed young petitioners, I get the impression that the main objection some people have is that GMOs are made by "giant corporations." I decided not to bother pointing out that th

So the big news is that Starbucks is offering non-disposable cups? The independent coffee shops have been doing this for years, which is why I avoid Starbucks unless there's no other choice. It's particularly unsatisfying to drink

A "stage persona"? From what I've read (recently, as I'd never heard of him before), he was in real life a serial criminal.

Can someone please explain this formulation "Black Indigenous and People of Color" (BIPOC)? It seems to have arisen out of the blue last year. It's redundant, since black people are also people of color. And, assuming indigen

I don't see how this is legal. Two people can be equally poor, but if you're black you get $500 a month, but if you're white or Asian you don't get anything?
