The whole point of free speech is that it allows people to express any political or social position, including what any one of us considers “hate speech.” And “hate speech” now means “any position the left differs with.” —Dennis Prager, “The Left Ruins Everything” I’ve had occasion to discuss […]
As the old saying goes, a broken clock is right twice a day, and the ladies of “The View” can still make a good point on rare occasions. Well, the latter is not an old saying, but, after an astonishing moment during the show on Thursday, it has a decent chance at entering the common […]
In a stunning display of irony and contradiction that borders on the absurd, an associate dean tasked with upholding gender equality at Columbia University cut off and muted a fellow professor during a faculty senate meeting earlier this month when the latter professor warned her colleagues that the Ivy League school had been infiltrated by […]
A North Carolina teenager who was suspended from class for three days last month for using the term “illegal aliens” is suing his school district for violating his First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Christian McGhee, 16, is a sophomore at Central Davidson High School in Lexington, North Carolina. The Liberty Justice Center, a non-profit litigation […]
I have to say up front that I’m a fan of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE). Somewhere in a drawer I still have a t-shirt I got when I attended one of their events years ago. In the time since I’ve generally agreed with their takes on most issues related to free […]

The Antisemitism Awareness Act, which was introduced by Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), passed in […]
It has been said by people wiser than I (I’ll admit that the bar is low) that the best available option for addressing “bad speech” isn’t to regulate it, but to allow for more free speech to challenge it. Students at the University of Mississippi provided a pretty decent — though not perfect — example […]
In the rush to clamp down on the anti-Semitism running rampant on college campuses, the U.S. House might have overcorrected dramatically. The “Antisemitism Awareness Act” — approved by the House in a 320-91 vote on Wednesday — raised concerns over its possible application to the Bible and criticism of the Israeli government. The bill would […]
According to the Wokenistas, the American people are to sit passively at their TVs and computers and watch anti-American, anti-Israel and anti-Western civilization ginned-up-radical-leftwing- activists take over buildings, destroy property and threaten the safety of those around them. How much is enough? Anti-Israel protesters at George Washington University went so far as to drape a […]
