Commentary When I was in college, you never heard the sacred troika, “diversity-equity-inclusion.” I started graduate school in the mid-1980s, and the prevailing attitude toward any such institutional formula voiced by the powers that be with a numbing regularity was jaded suspicion. It was the Era of High Theory (the tail end of it), which…

Commentary Since retiring from the university, several people have asked if I miss it. I tell them I miss what it was, but not what it has become. Higher education in America has gone from being the best in the world to one of the most pathetic. Why? It’s hard to describe what academia was to…
Ignorance Is the End of Freedom
Commentary There’s currently a raging national debate on what our students should know or not know about American history. This debate goes to the very core of our national being and future. That’s why I chose to write my new book, “Toward a Perfect Union: The Moral and Cultural Case for Teaching the Great American…

Commentary There were two simultaneous hearings yesterday in the House now ruled by Republicans. The first concerned Big Tech censorship and featured Twitter ex-employees being grilled on their role in controlling the public mind in ways that were politically biased. It was mostly boring of course but I was struck by how many times the…
Defending the Right to Protect Life
Commentary According to Shawn Carney, president of the grassroots pro-life organization 40 Days for Life, the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade was one of the greatest days in our history—for everyone but the Biden administration. The White House is mad, Carney told me in a recent episode of “Over the Target Live.” “And…
Omar Not Just Antisemitic, but Also Anti-American
Commentary The Republican-controlled House has voted to boot Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), off the House Foreign Affairs Committee. I salute Republicans for leadership, beneficial for the country and beneficial for black Americans whose interests Omar pretends to represent. Omar pushed back from the House floor, playing, of course, the race card. She accused Republicans of…

Commentary After the three public shootings over the last two weekends in California, Democrats are again clamoring for even more gun control laws. To California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the solution is to ban more places where people can carry permitted concealed handguns. Unfortunately, the proposal has nothing to do with stopping these attacks, and more gun-free zones only…
The Continued Wrecking of New York City
Commentary It’s been nearly 11 months since the end of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s “Key to NYC” vaccine mandate and public-school masking requirements. And President Joe Biden recently announced an end to the pandemic-related state of emergency on May 11. Yet many private businesses, cultural institutions, and schools continue to cling to COVID-era restrictions. The…
National Security Takes a Back Seat
Commentary On Jan. 20, 2021, Joe Biden swore the following oath before God and the world to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” From Article II of the U.S. Constitution: “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of…
The Coming Dismemberment of Ukraine
Commentary The West’s wishful thinking that it could win a war against Russia using Ukraine as its proxy is coming to a close. Western sanctions against Russia—initially predicted to bring the Russian economy to its knees—have backfired. Absent Russian resources, European economies are reeling while Russia’s economy, according to the IMF, has rebounded and is…
