From high school dropout to teenage wife and mother to highly accomplished university professor and public intellectual, Dr. Carol Swain is passionate about empowering others to confidently raise their voices in the public square. Her clarion call is for We the People to stand up and Be the People who change our nation and world.
Writing in the New York Times last month, cultural iconoclast Chris Rufo pointed out that the diversity, equity and inclusion efforts have failed: “Even on its own terms, does D.E.I. actually work? And the answer, according to the best available evidence, appears to be no.” Citing research into 30 years of DEI training data, Rufo...
Apparently, President Joe Biden’s reelection plan to “finish the job” includes the normalization of the mass importation of child sex and labor slaves across the border. It’s not surprising that his administration can do so—nobody’s standing in its way. Rapid DNA testing at the border has been a critical vetting tool preventing strangers and human...
Americans once said, “As California goes, so goes the nation.” Hopefully after this legislative session, Americans will say, “As Texas goes, so goes the nation.” The Lone Star State’s leaders are fighting fiercely right now to restore non-discrimination and equal rights under the law. These are American values embedded in U.S. civil rights laws and...
We are guilty because we lure them here with the imagery of a safe-haven nation conjured up by Emma Lazarus’ poem ‘The New Colossus.’ We stopped being that nation decades ago. Mexico’s criminal cartels view unaccompanied migrant children as “the product,” and the Biden administration treats them as such. Our current immigration system is a modern-day...
Teachers’ unions and Democrats want to perpetuate COVID pandemic forever Way to go, teachers unions! America’s school children were among the big casualties of COVID-19 pandemic policies. Shuttered schools and remote learning sank national math scores, slashed individual lifetime earnings, and stunted the economic growth potential. Once again, our children were political pawns in a...
As of this winter, 36 states had passed legislation aimed at keeping critical race theory and other “divisive concepts,” sometimes referred to in law as “prohibited concepts,” out of K-12 public school classrooms. Despite these efforts, these very concepts are still being taught under the guise of addressing mental health and well-being. And I fear it is...
Last year, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a bill putting the brakes on critical race Theory (CRT) in the classroom. CRT is a familiar term to most college graduates: it’s a worldview rooted in cultural Marxism, critical theory, and postmodernist theories. Although you’d think an idea like this wouldn’t be found in a...
Unless Republicans and Democrats begin to place the good of the nation above raw politics, the Senate will use a rushed process to place Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court. We have heard that the Senate needs to make history by appointing a Black woman, even though Democrats, led by then-Sen. Joe Biden rejected former...
Tokenism is the inclusion of a person in a group for the purpose of avoiding criticism that people of a particular kind have been excluded. It wasn’t long ago that tokenism was looked down on by most people. Apparently, having a token Black woman for the U.S, Supreme Court is an exception. President Joe Biden...
Why aren’t more of us challenging the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) masking recommendations for children? Despite changes in indoor masking requirements that have liberated most adults, the CDC continues to cling to unscientific COVID-19 guidelines that harm our children by keeping them masked for no good reason. In many school districts, parents have been stripped of the authority to opt-out...
America’s elite institutions of higher education have long remained the home of “woke” ideologies and divisive concepts which most Americans would rebuff. For this tiny fraction of those teaching and being educated at our nation’s elite colleges, the prevailing factors used to describe any type of racial disparities, whether it be in health care, education,...
If the public had been largely unaware of the pervasiveness of critical race theory in America’s public schools, the shock waves of Virginia’s election have made sure people, particularly parents, are now paying attention. The Texas Legislature joined several other states and passed an anti-CRT bill earlier this year. To fight back, proponents of the...
