Walter E Williams: Some Odds And Ends

Wise observations.   Occasionally, I wonder whether I'm alone in some of my wonderings. Look at the claim that conservatives or Republicans have launched a war on women as a part of their overall mean-spirited agenda. In the case of mistreatment of women — or of anyone else — assault, rape and murder are about as horrible as it gets.     ... MORE

Walter E Williams: The Cancer Of Multiculturalism

The false premise of moral relativism.  President Barack Obama surprised many at the National Prayer Breakfast when he lectured us, "Lest we get on our high horse and think this (barbarity) is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ." Obama went  ... MORE

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? And just how equal are people by race and sex in the first place? According   ... MORE

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. But he said he’d move     ...  MORE

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

Walter E Williams: Re-education At George Mason

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   ...
