"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

To Hell With ‘Gender Equity’

That’s my reaction to a New York Times story about how universities are faking their way around Title IX, which mandates an artificial “equality” between men and women’s sports programs. Americans have for too long been tortured on the Procrustean bed of “equality,” which aims to destroy all custom and tradition — indeed, to destroy liberty itself […]

Alex Pareene, Bigot

Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield has pushed through committee a bill that would prohibit public schools from teaching about homosexuality prior to ninth grade. This inspires Pareene — employed as a professional journalist by Salon — to write as if he were a fanatical activist auditioning for a front-page gig at DailyKos: The numskulls and […]

Why Aren’t You Homeschooling Yet?

Steve Foley at Minority Report describes this video, recorded at last month’s Left Forum in New York City: Sarah Knopp, a Los Angeles teachers union leader (in the Tax the Rich shirt) and Megan Behrent a New York City teacher affiliated with the International Socialist Organization, explain how to push Marxism in the public school […]

‘Ladies and Gentlemen, I’ll Be Brief …’

VIDEO CLASSIC: ‘Pure Bias, Which You Demonstrate With Every Breath You Take’

Kerry Picket of The Washington Times has not yet identified the two dudes who hassled her at a press conference with D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, but the one dude (pictured above, right) let loose with a hissy rant of self-righteousness that will live in infamy: “Don’t pretend that you’re not biased. . . . You […]

Greg Mortenson’s Hope and Change

A topic we blogged last week gets a deeper examination from Alanna Shaikh at Foreign Policy: The world was shocked by a report on CBS’s 60 Minutes this week that accused bestselling author and humanitarian Greg Mortenson of being a fraud. Not only were some of the stories from his book fabricated, 60 Minutes alleges, […]

Well, Of Course: 14-Year-Old Wisconsin Tea Party Speaker Is Home-Schooler

When I saw this video at Ann Althouse’s blog (hat-tip, Instapundit), I did some quick searching and learned that Tricia Willoughby is a home-schooler and debate champion, one of three daughters of Wisconsin pro-life leaders Bret and Nancy Willoughby: As the father of six home-schooled kids myself, I’m very proud to see Miss Willoughby’s poise as […]
