Thomas Sowell: 'Diversity' In Action
Not all cultures are compatible. Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe, and European governments' counter-attacks are more than just a passing news story. Europe is currently in the process of paying the price for years of importing millions of people from a culture hostile to the fundamental values of Western culture. And this is by no means the last ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Will The Left Defend Itself?
Multiculturalism and Sharia Law. Leftists and progressives believe that the U.S. should become more like Europe. They praise Europe's massive welfare state, socialized medicine and stifling economic regulation and accept its unwillingness to defend itself against barbarism. I wonder whether America's leftists and progressives want to ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene
Musings of a genius. What a non-judgmental society amounts to is that common decency is optional — which means that decency is likely to become less common. The biggest issue in this fall's election is whether the Obama administration will end when Barack Obama leaves the White House or whether it will continue on, by appointing federal ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Sex And Race Equality
Inside the values of sex and race equality. There are several race and sex issues that need addressing. Let's look at a few of them with an ear to these questions: Should we insist upon equal treatment of people by race and sex or tolerate differences in treatment?

Angry Parents Crush Race-Quota Revival
by Steven Greenhut. When my family moved from northwest Ohio to pricey Southern California, we could afford an entry level house but couldn’t also spring for private-school tuition for the kids. So we scoured the test-score databases, looking for those neighborhoods where home values were reasonable and public schools were tops. ... MORE

NYC Mayor To Close City Schools For Muslim Holidays
Political correctness run amok. New York Mayor Bill De Blasio will close city schools for two Muslim holidays and the Lunar New Year. The New York Daily News reported: New York City is moving to close school for two Muslim holidays and the Lunar New Year — but Mayor de Blasio isn’t so sure about the Hindu festival Diwali.

Political Correctness Is Destroying Corporate America
by Steve Tobak. “Why Christmas is Destroying Corporate America.”
That’s right. A well-known blogger really tried to make that argument
on a very popular website three years ago. Unfortunately, my blog was
also on that site at the time. I remember thinking: Crap, there goes the
neighborhood … and my credibility. Then again, the woman ... MORE

All cultures are NOT equal. This week begins my 34th year serving on George Mason University's distinguished economics faculty. You might imagine my surprise when I received a letter from its Office of Equity and Diversity Services notifying me that I was required to "complete the in-person Equal Opportunity and Prevention of ...

Thomas Sowell - The Mindset Of The Left (Part 3)
A relentless quest for more government intrusions. The fundamental problem of the political left seems to be that the real world does not fit their preconceptions. Therefore they see the real world as what is wrong, and what needs to be changed, since apparently their preconceptions cannot be wrong. A never-ending source of ... MORE

R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.: Justice Thomas Echos JFK
Quotas and affirmative action cause nothing but trouble. For four decades the American people have been perplexed by “affirmative action,” “quotas,” and all the circumlocutions that have accumulated around them. Reading about them is painful. Living with them is worse. What has the Supreme Court trying been trying to tell us with ... MORE
