By Selwyn Duke Daxx Dalton is a very principled boy. At the tender age of 11, not only does he have political passions, he is willing to wear them on his shirtsleeve (or at least his back) and go to the mat for them. Thus, when Aurora Frontier K-8 School made him an offer he…

By Selwyn Duke When I consider the topsy-turvy world we live in, I can’t help but think of the Bible’s warning, “There will come a time when bad will be called good and good will be called bad.” A prime example of this is adult-child relations. In a reversal from a couple of generations ago,…

By Selwyn Duke Has Barack Obama set his sights on the wrong seat of power? If this Daily Mail article is any indication, perhaps he should have run for prime minister of Britain. Writes the paper:

By Selwyn Duke Like many alive today, I had to read The Catcher in the Rye in high school. I can’t really say I learned much from the book, although, just to be fair, I must point out that I wasn’t exactly a dedicated student at the time. But the work was supposed to be…

By Selwyn Duke A little while back, I wrote a piece about Keith John Sampson, a student at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) who was charged with "racial harassment" merely for reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan book (for background, read my piece here and my follow-up here). This story had left my radar screen, and…

By Selwyn Duke One problem with one-issue activists, it seems, is that they often view matters from only one dimension. This has always been one of the characteristics of feminists. Men get blame for being history’s conquerors and killers, for instance, but no credit for being its innovators and healers. We will hear about how…

By Selwyn Duke The St. Petersburg Times is running an article by one Melanie Hubbard, an erstwhile college professor who decided to take a foray into teaching high school. She speaks of classroom horror stories; of undisciplined, uncivilized "students" who have no respect for anyone or anything; of an environment in which the inmates run…
