The Pitfalls of the Scholar Turned Activist
Commentary Professors are trained as impartial researchers. In a nutshell, they defend truth claims based on the best available evidence and avoid playing the role of a political advocate. Whenever academics gravitate toward the latter, they begin mirroring the discourses of an emerging cultural narrative instead of dispassionately interrogating its core arguments. A perfect case…
The False Justification for Anti-Racism and ‘Social Justice’
Commentary All “anti-racism” and “social justice” writings and campaigns are predicated on the claim that certain races and sexes are being treated unfairly.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence wants answers about the mysterious “Havana Syndrome”—a neurological sickness that hit U.S. embassy workers in Cuba and elsewhere. Was it a weapon?
