By Selwyn Duke Fresh off making people’s eyes roll with a ban on water-gun play fights, the Boy Scouts of America has found an even better way to lose members: propose that homosexuals be allowed to serve as Boy Scout troop leaders. Wow, what could possibly go wrong? The suggestion came from Boy Scouts of…

By Selwyn Duke In the beginning, the homosexual agenda was about the right to be an “out” homosexual without government interference. Now it’s about using the government to prohibit efforts to get out of homosexuality. And the latest attack on this front is the ominously named “Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act” (TFPA), which would ban same-sex-attraction…

By Selwyn Duke When someone describes his location and says he’s right or left, the obvious answer is “Of what?” It’s interesting that we never ask this in politics. This could occur to one given the recent headlines after U.K.’s May 7 election, in which the Tories defied pollsters and won a resounding victory. Business…

By Selwyn Duke The number of Christians has declined precipitously in the United States during just the last seven years, while atheists have almost doubled their share of the population. So discovered the Pew Research Foundation via a massive study involving more than 35,000 Americans. Those identifying as Christian lost almost 8 points in population…

By Selwyn Duke Hey, isn’t creating sacrilegious images brave? That’s what we heard years ago when at issue was “art” such as a crucifix immersed in a glass of urine or a Virgin Mary picture smeared with feces. But that wasn’t quite the response to pundit Pamela Geller’s Mohammed cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, was…

By Selwyn Duke It was no surprise that Cedric the Entertainer, a black comedian, could get away with doing a comedy skit about “Colored People’s Time,” playing on the stereotype of tardiness in the black community. But in an example of life imitating art, a group helping to shape teaching in American schools is now…

By Selwyn Duke Did you hear about the white cops indicted in Freddie Gray’s death? You likely did. Did my opening question cause you to take exception? It likely didn’t — but it should have. Because half the officers (shown) charged in Baltimore drug dealer Freddie Gray’s April 12 death are black. Yet in a…

By Selwyn Duke “Black Lives matter” they say — but perhaps not to Freddie Gray. Gray’s April 12 death while in Baltimore police custody has sparked protests and been used as an excuse for rioting. Of course, it’s still not entirely clear what caused the criminal’s demise. A police report has been issued indicating that…

By Selwyn Duke Would you want a panel of five judges deciding what is a proper diet, car, or military weapon for our nation? To echo what the lawyer in the White House once said about himself when responding to an abortion question, such things are above lawyers’ pay grade. Yet with the Supreme Court…

By Selwyn Duke It’s not enough that American academia has been indoctrinating native-born youth with leftism, reinforced by the media and entertainment. Nor is it sufficient that our immigration regime has, since 1965, ensured that 85 percent of our immigrants would come from the Third World and Asia, bringing us people who vote overwhelmingly Democrat…
