Teachers must embrace open-mindedness and doubt

In the fall of 2020, I taught a course at an independent high school in Boulder, Colorado, on persuasive essay writing. It won’t stun anyone familiar with the town, affectionately known by locals as the People’s Republic of Boulder, that I was the only openly non-progressive in the entire school, teacher or student. If there were any other non-progressives in the building, they wisely kept it to themselves.

The root causes of our illiberal higher education system

Americans repulsed by college students harassing Jewish students were more horrified when the adults in charge refused before Congress to condemn calls for Jewish genocide as a violation of their codes of conduct and suggested the words were fine until acted upon. Three university presidents responded to a congressional query about calls for “intifada” with mealy-mouthed words, citing the need for context. One even called the query “a difficult question.”

What it means to be green trash

A column I wrote a few months back peeved one reader so much that she wrote me a 2,900-word response sent as a Word Document attachment, double-spaced and thoroughly proofed. The effort left me dazed — and mildly alarmed.

Last week again exposed the rot at elite universities

The term “Ivy League” traditionally conjured a distinctive set of characteristics. One thought of excellence, brilliance, prestige, and tradition. The particular schools making up the Ivies were considered the best schools to attend, establishing a near-guaranteed path to success on campus and in a future career.

College presidents expose the moral rot within their institutions

The presidents of Harvard, Penn, and MIT appeared before a House committee on Wednesday to answer for their shameful inaction in the face of antisemitic rhetoric and attacks on their campuses. Their craven responses were as non-committal as their handlers obviously wanted, which served only to indict their institutions.

How my high school yearbook became a part of the Left's war on the Supreme Court

Last month, I and several other graduates of Georgetown Preparatory School returned to the yearbook office — the one that bizarrely became a focal point of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation battle. I’ll get to that, and why our return was so important, shortly.

Democrats shouldn't be surprised by their Left flank's radicalism

Trouble is brewing in the deep-blue state of Maryland, where Democratic state senators are discovering that — gasp — an “immigrant advocacy” group they have coddled for decades is really full of Hamas supporters who compare Palestinian terrorists to the experience of Hispanics in the Old Line State.

Christopher Hitchens and the collapse of journalism and critical thinking

In a couple of weeks, publisher Twelve Books will release A Hitch in Time: Reflections Ready for Reconsideration, a collection of essays by the late journalist Christopher Hitchens. I secured an early copy of the book. Hitchens’s writing is still sparkling and insightful, even though he died in 2011.

The Left's fear of fascism under Trump is the ultimate example of projection

The liberal crazies, from actor Rob Reiner to the once conservative but now ideologue-for-sale Joe Scarborough, have their knickers in a knot over the potential that America may drift into “fascism” upon the possible election of former President Donald Trump in 2024.
