Inclusiveness

Diversity and tolerance just keep rolling, at least in the sense that everything has to be the same everywhere: Peru Celebrates First Gay Pride Event and Malta’s Green Party Puts Gay Rights On The Agenda. There seems to be nothing local about current trends, which to my mind should put to rest (in the … More ...

More tolerance! Eugene Volokh, libertarian-leaning immigrant Russian-Jewish law professor, has dug up a recent California Fair Employment & Housing Commission case in which the Commision fined a woman $500 for inflicting “emotional distress” on a would-be roommate by telling him that “I don’t really like black guys. I try to be fair and all, but … More ...

Could a free people conceivably accept the civil rights laws? Here’s a report from the front: “Specially Ill-Educated”, on the effects of the Federal command to “mainstream” students with behavioral disorders. If a kid kicks and bites but doesn’t injure people seriously it’s been decided in Washington that local educators can’t remove him from … More ...

Here’s a worthwhile account of the Islamophobia panic among British elites. The panic is quite comprehensible—in times of stress a society needs to reaffirm its core beliefs, and Western political life is now based on what the article calls “a profound distrust of the public – a fear that base sentiments lurk under the surface, … More ...

He manages to grind a surprising number of his many axes, which argues a certain skill, but he seems to have no notion that things are true if they’re true and false if … More ...

An interesting article: Genes show Welsh are the true Britons. The historians have gone back and forth on this, but it now appears that the Angles and Saxons did ethnically cleanse the native Britons.

It’s interesting those guys are still there: The Children of Israel. I don’t often go near Times Square these days, and it’s been couple of years since I’ve seen them, but they really are as bad as Mr. Goldblatt says.

In a very idle moment (I was looking at an interactive map showing blogs located near my subway stop) I ran into the following horrible quote from Peggy Noonan:

…[T]he essence of American patriotism is a felt and spoken love for and fidelity to the ideas and ideals our country represents and was invented

Is it ever anything but? Diversity top priority for new University of New Hampshire leader. The current numbers more or less reflect the racial composition of New Hampshire, but that’s just not good enough. After all, ”A world class education requires a diverse educational community” and thus social engineering and thought control. Meanwhile, Seattle … More ...
