Whether Mitch McConnell’s boneheaded distinction between African-Americans and “Americans” was a misstatement or something more sinister, the fact remains: America will not benefit from federalizing its elections. The narrative that continues to be stoked by the radical left is that states all over the country are actively denying blacks the right to vote and only the federal government can stop…

MADISON, Wis. — Should life-saving Covid-19 drugs be prioritized based on a patient’s race? The Biden administration thinks so. And now healthcare systems reportedly are beginning to follow such “equitable” guidance to the letter, making race and ethnicity a primary factor in determining who receives life-saving Covid-19 treatments such as monoclonal antibodies and oral antiviral drugs. The Wisconsin Institute for…

Charles Love’s Race Crazy: BLM, 1619, and the Progressive Racism Movement arrives in the midst of a glut of books about The 1619 Project, Black Lives Matter, and the various incarnations of the modern woke movement.

The woke-o-meter in public schools is about to ramp up. Parents who think they don’t have time to homeschool may soon realize that, compared to the effort involved in monitoring and countering the nonsense from leftist classrooms, homeschooling is the relaxing alternative. Not all teachers buy into the leftist narrative of race-obsessed anti-Americanism. But leftist K-12 administrators want to ensure…

Jan. 6, 2021 was the worst day in American history since America was founded in 1619 as a nation dedicated to slavery and systemic racism. To commemorate the occasion, a day of infamy worse than Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and Donald Trump’s election in 2016 combined, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi invited Lin-Manuel Miranda, famous for his…

In some respects, I feel as if we are living through a time like Charles Dickens, “The Tale of Two Cities,” of which he wrote, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.” We are bombarded with messages claiming America is overflowing with systemic…

Rejection used to be common for medical sociologist Thomas LaVeist when he tried to get his research published on the effects of racism on the health of black people. “Now,” said the 60-year-old dean of Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, “I have those same journals asking me to write articles for them.” LaVeist’s experience illustrates the…

Last week, fifth-grade teacher Amy Parker took the pages of the education site Chalkbeat to celebrate New York City’s initiative to promote “culturally responsive education” in its public schools. Parker introduces her essay by lamenting that “School taught me to hide who I was and what I valued” because it didn’t assign books with characters who had gay parents. But,…

The white girls did it. I knew this but did not turn my head to seek confirmation. I played dumb, staring straight ahead at Sister Clare as she continued her poetry lesson. How could the little nun go on discussing metaphors when, right in front of her, one of her seventh graders had turned to stone? Sister Clare loved metaphors.…

On the latest “The Fifth Column” episode, cohost Kmele Foster reiterates his argument, previously expressed in a coauthored New York Times op-ed, that banning critical race theory in schools is bad. While discussing to what extent public opposition to this form of racism fueled Republican success in last week’s elections, Foster again claimed “there is zero evidence that this particular…

Many Democrats are responding to their electoral drubbing in Virginia with total denial. Concerns over education radicalism, especially critical race theory, were essential to Republican victories, but the cultural leftists who steer the Democratic Party these days keep insisting this is a fake controversy created by right-wing activists. Either they are idiots, or they think we are. Probably both. That…

We can glean many lessons from the 2021 elections in Virginia. One of the most compelling? That Democrats’ constant accusations of racism and ethnic bigotry as a campaign tactic against Republicans have jumped the shark. Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe shamelessly played the race card in the closing days of Virginia’s gubernatorial campaign. Glenn Youngkin’s victory despite such smears reveals that…

A British minister was recently under fire for mentioning what might have seemed obvious to anyone not obsessed with political correctness. “I don’t care about colonialism,” Kemi Badenoch argued, “they came in and just made a different bunch of winners and losers. There was never any concept of ‘rights’, so [the] people who lost out were old elites, not everyday…
