  • Is Lincoln Speaking to us? AA

    By John Walters – August 19, 2022

    Copyright@ 2022 National Review

    Principles of Government · September 20, 2025 ·

    By John Walters – By and large, we do not believe that there are individuals with great ruling talent who “thirst and burn” to shatter the existing order for the sake of dominating others … a fundamentally different type of human being: animals of prey, a profoundly different human type from the rest of us. …Is Lincoln’s warning grounded in a timeless truth?… We need only think of Stalin, Mao, and, of course, Hitler. Can we learn from this terrible history?…Specifically, are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping just such individuals?….they now largely control the levers of power and use that power in a brutal and unified manner. …they seek to shatter the existing order and bring the world around them under their domination.

    The Anatomy of a Diversity Equity and Inclusion Takeover B

    By John Sailer - August 11, 2022

    Copyright @ 2022 National Association of Scholars

    Principles of Government · February 5, 2020 ·

    By John Sailer – NAS – We find in these plans nothing short of a blueprint for an institutional overhaul—the anatomy of a diversity, equity, and inclusion takeover. Such a takeover will have obvious implications for education at the University of Tennessee. True education will erode. Indoctrination will flourish. These plans, moreover, reveal in extensive detail what an exhaustive diversity, equity, and inclusion program looks like. Thus, our report provides a case study in the rolling revolution under way in academia. Read More

    The Trouble Isn’t Liberals. It’s Progressives. B

    By Charles Murray - June 30, 2014

    Principles of Government · June 30, 2014 ·

    By Charles Murray – …progressive intellectuals were passionate advocates of rule by disinterested experts led by a strong unifying leader. They were in favor of using the state to mold social institutions in the interests of the collective. They thought that individualism and the Constitution were both outmoded.…are …enthusiastic about an unrestrained regulatory state…think it’s just fine to subordinate the interests of individuals to … cheer the president’s abuse of executive power and … have no problem rationalizing the stifling of dissent….

    The bravest man in education reform A

    By Robert Pondiscio - 7.21.2022

    Copyright @ 2022 American Enterprise Institute and Thomas B Fordham Institute, Hoover

    Principles of Government · July 21, 2022 ·

    By Robert Pondiscio – Students’ personal choices matter. And so do the choices made by the education reform movement, which is steadfastly unwilling to address or even acknowledge the role that family structure and stability plays in students’ life outcomes. If a child in poverty graduates from high school, finds full-time employment, gets married, and has children, in that order, Rowe tirelessly pointed out—the chance they will remain in poverty as an adult drops to a mere 2 percent. “There is no public policy that comes even close to those kinds of results,” … Read More
