    Critical Race Theory Is an Inversion of History

    By John Ellis - Jan. 5, 2025

    Principles of Government · August 30, 2025 ·

    By John Ellis – The Biden administration had quietly implemented policies throughout the federal government based on this theory, and it is being taught in colleges and schools throughout the country. It has overrun much of the corporate world, and it has even secured a place in the training of many professions. The accusations made in closed training sessions are astonishingly venomous: Arrogant white supremacy is ubiquitous; white rage results when that supremacy is challenged; whites hold money and power because they stole it from other races; systemic racism and capitalism keep the injustices going.

    DEI Drives Campus Antisemitism A

    By Heather Mac Donald - Dec. 6, 2023

    Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

    Principles of Government · August 30, 2023 ·

    By Heather McDonald – The real issue on campuses isn’t antisemitism but the anti-Western ethos that has colonized large swaths of the curriculum. Elite schools once disdained Jews because they were seen as outsiders to Western civilization. Now they are reviled as that civilization’s very embodiment. Students explain that their hatreds come from what they learn in class—that the West is built on white supremacism and oppression. Israel is cast as the Western settler-colonialist oppressor par excellence. Read More

    Ron DeSantis: Good Riddance to the U.S. Education Department A

    By Ron DeSantis - March 18, 2025

    Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

    Principles of Government · August 30, 2025 ·

    By Ron DeSantis – Mr. Trump can empower states to manage education policy by removing the cumbersome bureaucracy that has become the hallmark of the U.S. Department of Education. Abolishing the department and reinvigorating state control of education would enable states like Florida to serve better the needs of students, parents and teachers. Read More

    The Census Defines the Poverty Rate Up AA

    By Phil Gramm and John Early - April 2, 2025

    Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

    Principles of Government · September 20, 2025 ·

    By Phil Gramm and John Early – Spending on Medicaid, Internal Revenue Service cash welfare payments (refundable tax credits) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) has grown in inflation-adjusted dollars by 671%, 1,463% and 289% respectively since 1990. By contrast, total real Medicare, Social Security and defense expenditures have grown by 383%, 186% and 38% respectively. Medicaid absorbs seven times as much general revenue as Social Security—more than Social Security and Medicare combined. Read More

    The Public Needs Campus Viewpoint Diversity A

    By John Ellis June 16, 2025

    Principles of Government · August 29, 2025 ·

    By John Ellis – … shutting down woke programs goes only so far; it limits what bad actors in academia can do, but it leaves those bad actors in place.

    Without broader staffing reforms, radical left-wing professors will still control higher education. Several states are trying to dictate what professors should and shouldn’t teach, but these efforts similarly don’t reach the core of academia’s sickness—the political monopoly that guarantees its continued malignancy.
