    Her personal virtues are an antidote to our era’s self-promotion and social-virtue signaling.

    Within the hour of her death, Queen Elizabeth II was praised by commentators from left to right for representing so many traditional values. Reserve, self-containment, duty, responsibility, modesty of demeanor, graciousness, civility, prudence, fortitude. Read More

    Inside the Woke Indoctrination Machine

    After watching 100 hours of leaked video, we now fully grasp the danger of this ideology in schools. Last spring we exposed how two elite independent schools in New York had become corrupted by a divisive obsession with race, helping start the national movement against critical race theory. Schools apply this theory under the guise of diversity, equity and… Read More

    Can Politics Get Better When Higher Education Keeps Getting Worse?

    Voters have the sense to resist notions like critical race theory. A generation from now, they may not. Only a few years ago, several well-established features of the current political landscape were too absurd to be taken seriously. Defunding the police was a ridiculous idea; critical race theory would be a giant step backward in… Read More

    Preventing Suicide by Higher Education

    By Arthur Milikh - Summer 2021 Issue

    Copyright @ National Affairs, Inc., and the American Enterprise Institute

    Principles of Government · September 25, 2020 ·

    From the birth of the modern conservative movement, dissidents concerned with civic and liberal education have tried almost everything to reshape America’s universities: from refusing to donate to their alma maters (as William F. Buckley prescribed), to funding tenure-track positions, forming independent centers on campuses to host outside speakers, organizing external supplementary seminars to make… Read More

    This article outlines the many grave problems of American higher education (with suggestions about how to correct theem) and explains how its domination by the left is changing our culture, our politics, and our society in ways that threaten our future

    Campus Ideology’s Slippery Slope

    By Michael B. Poliakoff - May 5, 2021

    Copyright @ 2021 Newsweek

    Principles of Government · May 20, 2021 ·

    A day does not go by without news of some skirmish in the fierce ongoing battle to determine whether colleges and universities will hold fast to academic freedom and intellectual diversity as the catalysts of progress. Will our centers of higher learning be home to diverse theories and strategies, or will they take the illiberal path of deciding for faculty and students what they should believe?
    A civil and unprejudiced campus is a priority for any academic community that is true to its purpose. But when a community of scholars and teachers, especially a famous and influential one, trades time-honored principles of free inquiry for reflexive and enforced social theories, it damages the broader social fabric.

    What Children Should Be Learning

    By Wilfred M. McClay and Kathleen O'Toole

    Copyright @ 2021 National Review

    Principles of Government · August 21, 2021 ·

    Parents are appalled by the reduction of American history to an endless exercise in identity politics and moral accusation. They fear that the study of the American past — rather than providing the young with a sense of something larger than themselves — has become something deeply negative: a way of separating us from our past and a weapon used to sow shame and resentment, and even hatred and despair, in the hearts of tomorrow’s citizens.

    This is a recipe for disaster. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

    Good, honest curriculum is not only possible; it’s come to pass. Read More

    The Anatomy of a Diversity Equity and Inclusion Takeover

    By John Sailer - August 11, 2022

    Copyright @ 2022 National Association of Scholars

    Principles of Government · September 5, 2022 ·

    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

    From Migrant Busing to Climate Change, Fake Virtue Abounds

    By Gerard Baker - Sept. 19, 2022

    It’s easy to portray compassion for a refugee or a welcoming hand for the economically disadvantaged as a signifier of moral values. But the scales of virtue must balance, and it isn’t simply a case of administrative incompetence but an act of abject moral failure by a government to fail to secure its borders.

    There is no higher obligation for a sovereign power to its own people. The reckless toleration of the entry of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of illegal immigrants threatens a nation’s security, undermines its cohesion, interferes with its orderly economic and social functions. It places undue burdens on law-enforcement officers (against whom the president then issues casual calumnies) and actively undermines respect for the rule of law. Read More

    The Left Gets Fascism Backward

    By Lance Morrow - Sept. 4, 2022

    Copyright ©2022 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

    If there are fascists in America these days, they are apt to be found among the tribes of the left. … The evolution of their overprivileged emotions…has led them, in 2022, to embrace Mussolini’s formula: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” Or against the party. (People forget, if they ever knew it, that both Hitler and Mussolini began as socialists). The state and the Democratic Party must speak and act as one, suppressing all dissent. America must conform to the orthodoxy—to the Chinese finger-traps of diversity-or-else and open borders… Meantime, their man in the White House invokes emergency powers to forgive student debt and their thinkers wonder whether the Constitution and the separation of powers are all they’re cracked up to be.

    Mr. Trump and his followers, believe it or not, are essentially antifascists: They want the state to stand aside, to impose the least possible interference and allow market forces and entrepreneurial energies to work. Freedom isn’t fascism. Mr. Biden and his vast tribe are essentially enemies of freedom, although most of them haven’t thought the matter through. …. They desire maximum—that is, total—state or party control of all aspects of American life, including what people say and think. Seventy-four years after George Orwell wrote “1984,” such control (by way of surveillance cameras, social-media companies and the Internal Revenue Service, now to be shockingly augmented by 87,000 new employees) is entirely feasible. The left yearns for power and authoritarian order. It is Faust’s bargain; freedom is forfeit. Read More

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

    By Charles Murray - June 30, 2014

    Principles of Government · August 21, 2022 ·

    …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.

    …we should start using “liberal” to designate the good guys on the left, reserving “progressive” for those who are enthusiastic about an unrestrained regulatory state, who think it’s just fine to subordinate the interests of individuals to large social projects, who cheer the president’s abuse of executive power and who have no problem rationalizing the stifling of dissent.
