By Selwyn Duke The Oregon Department of Forestry’s second-in-command has been put on administrative leave for committing what is now, apparently, considered misfeasance. His sin? The official, one Mike Shaw, resolved to hire at his bureau the “candidates most qualified for the job.” That’s what Megan Donecker — a purple-haired, tattooed DEI trainer who filed…

By Selwyn Duke There was a time, not long ago, when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance was standard in schools — and uncontroversial. Then it became an issue — and optional. Now it’s not even an option at one Vermont school, say local parents.

By Selwyn Duke If men are from Mars and women from Venus, as author John Gray put it, then something is for sure. Mars is MAGA territory. And Venus is Kamala Land. In fact, as polls consistently demonstrate, the intersex voting gap is perhaps now historically large. For example, the latest NBC poll finds that men favor…

By Selwyn Duke “There was a time, not that many years ago, really, when we would actually get into an argument because we didn’t want to answer the phone,” quite funny and mostly clean comedian James Gregory once said during an act. “It’d be like, ‘You get it; I got it last time!’” Boy, the world sure…

Literally speaking, neither tolerance nor intolerance is a “virtue”; that is, one of those defined “objectively good moral habits.” Exhibiting each, however, in its proper…

By Selwyn Duke From each according to his skin color and, well, to each according to his skin color? That’s right, forget the old Marxist formula. Now, in our diversity-über-alles society, calls to equity from the morally bent have a racial bent. This would explain, too, a couple of recent stories. The first is about…

By Selwyn Duke There’s “wisdom from the mouths of babes” and then there’s, well, what CNN found in a recent study. That is, despite liberals’ chest-thumping about their “tolerance,” they’re not the ones raising tolerant kids. Oh, it isn’t just that “Democrat-leaning” children are far more negative about Donald Trump than “Republican-leaning” children are about…

By Selwyn Duke What is the most important job in the world? Is it being the president of the United States? Is it being a scientist working on cold fusion, now considered the “holy grail” of energy innovation? Is it toiling away as a researcher seeking a cure for cancer? Is it being a military…

By Selwyn Duke With 2021 diversity training, Coca-Cola earned the moniker “Woka-Cola” by advising employees to “try to be less white.” But now the company may become more white. That will be the result, anyway, if Coke follows through on a pledge to enforce new diversity goals. That is, to align their employee racial, ethnic,…
