In a recent anti-racist symposium conducted by Towson University in Maryland, teacher/author April Baker-Bell expounded on the thesis of her book on “linguistic justice,” descrying the teaching in American schools of proper English grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc., as but another form of White oppression. “The way black language is devalued in schools,” she said, “reflects …

It’s Pervasive, Not Peripheral!
My blog of the 20th cited a few recent examples of Leftist double-speak and outright hypocrisy. One can of course also find examples of such on the Right, but they tend to come from the outer fringes and are perversions of the Rational Humanism defended both here and by the mainstream “conservatives” to whom I …
My Heroine!
A nine year old girl in the southern suburbs of Minneapolis, upon being confronted with a B.L.M. poster in her classroom, addressed her local School Board on June 8 as follows: “I was so mad. I was told weeks ago at this very meeting spot: no politics in school. I believed what you said at …
You must WALK AWAY!
In a recent interview with Dave Rubin, David Horowitz, born to a family of devout Communists, speaks of his conversion to “conservatism” during the Reagan years. Those devoted to the ideal of “social justice,” he says, actually loathe human freedom and therefore, quite logically, the United States itself. Given the Democratic Party’s swing to the …
Welcome to “Progressive” America
Black “conservative” David Harris Jr. has just reported that yesterday [Saturday] in Chicago a car bearing Puerto Rican flags was ambushed for no apparent reason by a gang of Black thugs who opened fire on the couple inside.

Entitled to Deceive!
The stack of notes before me detailing the pervasive hypocrisy of the Left is beginning to depress me. Not having the time or energy to produce a blog on every separate issue, I shall simply comment briefly on some recent examples of the brazen disrespect for the Truth typical of the religious Left. In early …
THE HISTORICAL FACTS!
The “progressive” strategy: Let’s conflate the validity of Ideas and Values with the skin color of those who promote them. Let’s not discuss whether 2+2 actually equals 4, but simply dismiss that proposition as a racial bias. Hence the title of my aforementioned book, “Mindless by Design,” whose basic premise is that the contemporary myth …
The Joke that is The U.N.
In April the United Nations nominated Iran and China to its commission on Women’s Rights. Given that these two nations are among the worst human rights offenders on the planet, Hillel Neuer, former director of the Swiss based group U.N. Watch, stated as follows: “Electing the Islamic Republic of Iran to protect women’s rights is …
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!
This past Tuesday Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari posted a threatening Tweet condemning the young people in the southeast region of his country who had taken to attacking police stations and various government buildings. Twitter, claiming that the Tweet violated its policy on abusive behavior, decided to delete it. Buhari decided to delete Twitter, suspending its …
Outrage Yes, Facts No!
In referencing the events in Tulsa, Oklahoma on May 31 and June 1, 1921, Joe Biden once again invoked the notion that White racism is the systemic cancer imperiling American Democracy, making “social justice” for people of color virtually impossible. As the Left always does, as it did in its canonization of George Floyd, he …
