By Selwyn Duke When even The New York Times complains about your leftism, you know that you not only jumped the shark with wokism, but that the shark you jumped is a megalodon. This is the case, too, with a new report on how the University of Michigan squandered megabucks on DEI indoctrination. The result of these…

By Selwyn Duke The Oregon Department of Forestry’s second-in-command has been put on administrative leave for committing what is now, apparently, considered misfeasance. His sin? The official, one Mike Shaw, resolved to hire at his bureau the “candidates most qualified for the job.” That’s what Megan Donecker — a purple-haired, tattooed DEI trainer who filed…

By Selwyn Duke There was a time, not long ago, when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance was standard in schools — and uncontroversial. Then it became an issue — and optional. Now it’s not even an option at one Vermont school, say local parents.

By Selwyn Duke If men are from Mars and women from Venus, as author John Gray put it, then something is for sure. Mars is MAGA territory. And Venus is Kamala Land. In fact, as polls consistently demonstrate, the intersex voting gap is perhaps now historically large. For example, the latest NBC poll finds that men favor…

By Selwyn Duke “Leave this world a little better than you found it,” advised the creator of the Scouting movement, Robert Baden-Powell. Critics might say, and are saying in so many words, that ex-President Barack Obama has failed on this score. He still is failing, too, and his recent campaigning for Kamala Harris is a case…

By Selwyn Duke When hearing that many “elite” undergraduates “can’t” read books, first coming to mind could be that they’re not actually elite. (The term “pseudo-elite” suggests itself.) As for the word “can’t,” no, it’s not that these college students, often Ivy Leaguers, are illiterate. The issue is something different: conditioning.

By Selwyn Duke If “tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions,” as G.K. Chesterton put it, a question suggests itself: Is intolerance the virtue of the principled man? Literally speaking, neither tolerance nor intolerance is a “virtue”; that is, one of those defined “objectively good moral habits.” Exhibiting each, however, in its proper…

By Selwyn Duke From each according to his skin color and, well, to each according to his skin color? That’s right, forget the old Marxist formula. Now, in our diversity-über-alles society, calls to equity from the morally bent have a racial bent. This would explain, too, a couple of recent stories. The first is about…
