Further Thoughts on ‘Diversity’ and the Ritual Suicide of American Culture

The previous post about Sam’s Club CEO Rosalind Brewer’s comments on corporate “diversity” was 900 words, which is but the tip of a vast iceberg of what I could say on this subject. Diversity is one of those “glittering generalities” — like Equality and Progress and Science — that function in public discourse as a […]

I’m Not Going to Say Student Radicals Are Merely Corrupt Hustlers …

. . . because, obviously, most of them are sincere in their desire to destroy Western civilization as we know it. However, we cannot ignore the way campus “diversity” operates as a shakedown racket: With their campuses rocked by social justice protests, anxious Ivy League presidents are trying to appease campus radicals with huge payouts […]

‘Systemic Racism,’ Anarchy and Incipient Totalitarianism at University of Missouri

The New Regime: Mob rule on the Missouri campus. A frenzied student mob is now running the University of Missouri, having forced the abdication of university system president Tim Wolfe, while chancellor Bowen Loftin will “transition” to another job, the university board announced: Today the board announced a series of initiatives to be implemented over […]
