California high school teacher Marta Shaffer has made it clear in her Tik Tok posts that she considers the imposition of “proper” English grammar on her students to be but an aspect of White Supremacy. “I try to undermine that B.S. in my classroom as much as I can,” she states with pride.

The Cancer of Environmental Fanaticism
Larry Summers is an economist who held positions in both the Clinton and Obama administrations. Certainly no “conservative,” he nevertheless seems committed to a rational as opposed to slavishly ideological perspective.
