By Selwyn Duke Last year I wrote about a Tucson Unified School District social engineering plan that had the effect of meting out punishment based on racial quota. The school board had insisted, reported Arizona Republic’s Doug MacEachern, “that its schools reduce its suspensions and/or expulsions of minority students to the point that the data…

By Selwyn Duke First it was coeducation.Then it was young men and women in different wings of the same dormitories. Next we had the sexes sharing the same hallways and bathrooms. Now, this evolution (devolution?) has brought us sex-neutral housing, where male and female students can share the same room. Already allowed in approximately 50…

By Selwyn Duke Scott Brown may be the Massachusetts man of the moment, but it sure didn’t take him long to commit his first gaffe. The scene was the podium at his Senate-campaign victory speech, where, flanked by his two scantily clad daughters, he proclaimed to the world that they were “available.” No, Bill…

He said, she said? If she said he said the wrong thing, what he said won’t mean anything. By Selwyn Duke We’ve all heard of hate-speech laws. Well, now France will become the first country to enact rudeness-speech laws, making it a crime to commit “psychological violence” within a relationship. In other words, if Pierre…

We’ve all heard about false accusations of sexual criminality, incidents such as the 2006 Duke University rape frame-up case. They are a form of psychological molestation and can destroy a person’s life just as being physically molested can. Well, now such an accusation might have ended a man’s life. The hapless victim, 63-year-old British citizen…

By Selwyn Duke A lot has changed since 1960. If Connie Francis were to sing “Where the Boys Are” today, she would not likely be talking about Ft. Lauderdale. And she probably wouldn’t be talking about college, either. This is because, in a decades-old phenomenon, boys have increasingly been stumbling academically. Colleges have taken note…

By Selwyn Duke Are chemicals in our environment masculinizing girls and feminizing boys? A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that this is the case, and one of the latest studies has linked exposure to a substance known as bisphenol A, or BPA, with aggressive behavior in girls. Liz Szabo reports on the research in…

So what are we to conclude about “gender” science? Decades ago its “experts” said society could turn your boy into a girl if it felt like it; now they say he can turn himself into a girl if he feels like it. Is it just a coincidence that Dr. Money’s “gender neutrality” theory accorded with…

A Swedish couple refuses to reveal whether their two-year-old child is a boy or girl, claiming that “gender” is a “social construction.” By Selwyn Duke Sweden has long been known for pristine lakes and forests, long-legged blondes and ultra-safe cars, but it’s now distinguishing itself in another, more dubious, way: as the nation of feminism…

By Selwyn Duke If you’ve ever seen the movie Idiocracy, the title of this piece may seem familiar. The film is a dystopian comedy about a futuristic America in which complete ignorance is the norm. People are inarticulate to the point where even those of status — politicians, doctors, etc. — mangle the language and…
