By Selwyn Duke Did diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) kill Jason Arday? Strictly speaking, Arday, 41, the academic who resigned August 5 from Cambridge University over plagiarism charges, died by apparent suicide. He was found deceased Friday at his property in Battersea, south London. But it’s hard escaping the conclusion that had he not been…

By Selwyn Duke Jason Arday was fêted and celebrated when he joined Cambridge University’s faculty in 2023. At 37, he was the prestigious institution’s youngest black professor, and no one wanted to look at him critically. The skids were so well greased that Cambridge turned a blind eye even when evidence piled up that Arday…

By Selwyn Duke Many years ago, late economist Walter E. Williams recounted a story about being offered a prestigious Ivy League professorship. A young man at the time, he refused the position. Since he wasn’t qualified on paper, he explained, it would be obvious he was hired simply because of his race. (Williams was black).…

Nazi academics, such as Philipp Lenard, promoted the idea that science itself had racial character. Looking back on such pseudo-science, we now just shake our heads. Yet those who shake their fists at the heavens…

Our current 343-million number is insufficient to compete with a future China and India, his theory goes. Yet before we MACA — “Make America China Already!” — we should first ask a question: “What’s So…

By Selwyn Duke Some would call it “progress.” Others would say it’s poetic justice or being hoist with your own petard. Whatever you call it, it certainly is ironic. First, a liberal Canadian politician pushes mass Third World migration because, well, Diversity™. Then guess what just happened this past Saturday? That man, Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, the…

By Selwyn Duke The Muslim Brotherhood once outlined a plan that “involved softening America through cultural influence, political infiltration, and demographic expansion,” as one ex-Muslim observer related it. And now critics have an Exhibit A in the cultural-influence department. To celebrate the Islamic holiday Eid, there’ll be an event originally billed as “Muslims Only” at a taxpayer-funded…

By Selwyn Duke In 1994, famed-radio-host-to-be Michael Savage, an epidemiologist by training, wrote a manuscript titled Immigrants and Epidemics. In it, he pointed out that illegal aliens were bringing dangerous diseases into the United States. Yet despite Savage having long been a successful, published author, the work was rejected.
