By Selwyn Duke If there ever was an example of inmates running an asylum, it’s the modern government-school system. Thanks to numerous court rulings, students can now buck authority with the freedom to wear clothing and espouse political and social messages that their school – perhaps reflecting the wider community’s standards – deems objectionable.

By Selwyn Duke We really do live in a topsy-turvy world. Today, no matter how based in common sense a measure might be, some people will always crawl out of the woodwork to tell you why up is down, hot is cold and left is right. One example of this is opposition to cracking down…

By Selwyn Duke Laura Ingraham was filling in for Bill O’Reilly last night on his cable news show, and one of the segments pertained to an alleged rise in "hate crimes" in 2007. She had as a guest Brian Levin, a civil rights attorney and Director of the Center for the Study of Hate &…

By Selwyn Duke On Monday of this week, The Savage Nation radio show was devoted to the topic of autism, with many experts from the mental-health field appearing.

The latest example (of which I’m aware; I’m sure our UPS {umbrage per second} statistic is sky high) has resulted in a planned protest at WOR Radio in Manhattan over some comments radio talk show host Michael Savage…

By Selwyn Duke Ever since the 1947 separation of church and state ruling, we have been jumping through hoops to satisfy ever-more stringent interpretations of the establishment clause. It’s at a point now where school districts observe “Winter Break” at Christmastime and at least one changed the lyrics of “Silent Night” to “cold in the…

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…
