By Selwyn Duke The flyer in the girl’s backpack urged people to join a protest “against the unjust systems that allow police officers to kill Black men and boys with impunity.” The girl is seven years old. Her name is Alana, and she was part of a group of 20-plus second-graders from the Alma Del…

By Selwyn Duke It was a reporter’s dream story and every young man’s dream: A New York City schoolboy made $72 million trading stocks during his lunch breaks. But it turned out it was a false story, a reporter’s nightmare, and another bad break for the media, whose reputation was already reeling from the University…

By Selwyn Duke It was the baker’s dozen of discrimination. A Christian went to 13 pro-homosexual bakeries and requested a cake with a Christian message. And he was refused service every time.

By Selwyn Duke There is a racial double standard in the Eric Garner affair — one hardly anyone is talking about. The July 17 New York City arrest incident after which the 400-pound Garner died, and which has sparked protests around the nation, was reportedly supervised by a black female commanding officer, Sergeant Kizzy Adoni.…
