On Thursday's PBS NewsHour, correspondent Yamiche Alcindor claimed that it is "inaccurate" for President Donald Trump to claim that liberals have tried to undermine respect for United States history and its founders by fixating on slavery as she dismissively spoke of the President's idea for a 1776 commission to promote the country's history.

Media outlets routinely shame anyone who can be accused of taking the coronavirus threat too lightly, but it’s rare to see anyone punished for dramatically overplaying the threat. The Daily Beast just scared readers by implying that teachers were already dying from being infected inside classrooms, when the AP story they relied on never said that. 

Check out any professional and most college basketball teams. Their starting five, and most of their other 10 players, are black, as is 80% of the NBA. This does not come anywhere close to the diversity and inclusion sought by the nation's social justice warriors. Both professional and college coaches have ignored and threw any pretense of seeking diversity and inclusiveness. My question to…

Institutional racism and systemic racism are terms bandied about these days without much clarity. Being 84 years of age, I have seen and lived through what might be called institutional racism or systemic racism. Both operate under the assumption that one race is superior to another. It involves the practice of treating a person or group of people differently based on their race. Negroes, as…

Parents, legislators, taxpayers, and others footing the bill for college education might be interested in just what is in store for the upcoming academic year. Since many college classes will be online, there is a chance to witness professors indoctrinating their students in real-time. So, there's a chance that some college faculty might change their behavior. To see recent examples of campus…

On Monday morning’s CNN Newsroom, host Jim Sciutto brought on Oklahoma special education teacher and former Trump voter Nancy Shively to gush over an op-ed she wrote for USA Today in which she accused President Trump of “asking us to risk our health and our very lives” for recommending that schools reopen in the fall. Sciutto praised her for having a “backbone,” told her that she “…

Univision’s anchors, perpetually on the hunt for “news” to fit their political agendas, have now painted a bullseye on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Case in point: its sympathetic coverage of a lawsuit filed by Florida's largest teacher’s union against DeSantis. Only one point of view was offered: that of a teacher and union activist who actively campaigned for Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden.…

CNN’s The Situation Room continued Wednesday to vent the network’s anger with President Donald Trump, upset he hasn’t engaged in mentally-crippling fear-mongering about the coronavirus pandemic, demanded he stop giving a “rosy” outlook, and express disappointment with his pleas for schools to reopen.

The shameless charlatans in the liberal media were at it again on Thursday, engaging in fake news by taking White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s comments about reopening schools out of context so as to paint her as anti-science. Reporters had tried to poison the public into thinking she had said science shouldn’t prevent schools from reopening, but the audio (and thus the facts)…

The Michigan State University administration pressured professor Stephen Hsu to resign from his position as vice president of research and innovation because he touted research that found police are not more likely to shoot black Americans. The study found: "The race of a police officer did not predict the race of the citizen shot. In other words, black officers were just as likely to shoot…

Dr. Thomas Sowell has just published "Charter Schools and Their Enemies." He presents actual test scores of students in traditional public schools and charter schools on New York State Education Department's annual English Language Arts test and its Mathematics test. Sowell gives the results of student tests in charter schools such as KIPP, Success Academy, Explore Schools, Uncommon Schools,…

Since NBC News is nothing more than the public relations arm of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, on Thursday, the Today show welcomed on one of the presumptive Democratic nominee’s biggest supporters to trash President Trump. Of course the network morning show never bothered to tell viewers that its guest, American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten, had endorsed…

ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos grew increasingly frustrated on Thursday’s Good Morning America after he failed to get CDC director Robert Redfield to bash President Trump for insisting we need to reopen schools in the Fall.

After the GMA team sneered that President Trump was “going against the advice of federal health experts” by pushing to reopen…

It’s hard out there for a Washington Post book reviewer. Hey, you try balancing your exquisite wokeness (or the appearance thereof -- it strains credulity that anybody really believes all this bilge) with a supposed love of literature.
