By Selwyn Duke Back when I used to have a real job (OK, almost real), I would pass the local secondary on my commute home from work. It could be a sight to behold. If the most bizarre elements of your average American high school congregated in one room, it would, to steal a Pat…

By Selwyn Duke Last month there was a story about a black firefighter who reported finding a knotted rope and threatening note containing a picture of a noose in an East Baltimore firehouse. But now it has been revealed that the fireman, Donald Maynard, planted the objects himself.

By Selwyn Duke Sometimes I think claims of "freedom of speech" may be today’s last refuge of a scoundrel.

By Selwyn Duke Rev. Fred Phelps’ Westboro Cult (I’ll neither call them Baptist nor a church) was ordered to pay 10.9 million dollars to the family of a deceased marine after cheering his death at his funeral. While it’s hard to imagine a more odious bunch — they regularly protest at military funerals, holding placards…

By Selwyn Duke Last week the Supreme court handed down three free speech rulings that find favor with conservatives. One of them is Morse et al. v. Frederick, a case involving the free speech rights of students. At issue is a five year old incident wherein a Juneau-Douglas High School senior named Joe Frederick raised…

By Selwyn Duke So Don Imus has been fired from his radio show, and all is well in the world. We all know about the maelstrom that developed around the aging shock jock, who has found out how loose lips sink ships, in this case his own. But even though his is a vessel I…
