On Wednesday, I reprinted a letter from Andrew Gutman, a New York City parent who, in 2021, pulled his daughter out of the exclusive private all-girls Brearley School in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan to protest the school’s woke policies regarding race and gender. In that letter, Gutman …
Today, I am reprinting a letter I received from Andrew Gutman, a New York City parent who, in 2021, pulled his daughter out of the Brearley School, an all-girls private school in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan, to protest the school’s woke policies regarding race and gender. Gutman …
(Because this is “Banned Books Week,” I thought I might re-post a commentary I did a while back about how many American schools have decided to ban Harper Lee’s prize-winning book, “To Kill a Mockingbird.” It is not only a wrong-headed policy; it is a dangerous act of censorship that …
Like a lot of people, I wasn’t aware that there is a week devoted to banned books. There is. It’s this week, and it began Sunday and runs to September 24. Below I have compiled a list of the most commonly banned books according to the American Library Association. These …

I often repost commentaries from Victor Davis Hanson on my blog. Here is another recent one that examines how easy it is for us to lose our republic and how we are on the road to doing just that. Take a look. How Democracy Dies in Darkness: Five Easy Steps …
In all of my years as an American citizen, I had never witnessed an American president condemn half of the electorate as insurrectionists, fascists, and domestic terrorists. Then came Joe Biden’s political harangue last week. Paint a little black mustache on Biden’s face, employ wild hand gestures, and shout like …
As someone who spent four years on active duty with the U.S. Army Security Agency, I have been appalled at what is happening to America’s military. Not only are physical and mental requirements being “dumbed down” to accommodate recruits who would otherwise be rejected or discharged from service, but the …
Today I am posting a commentary from political writer Gary Reece. His predictions are disquieting, but I fear he may be on target with them-especially because stumbling, bumbling, mumbling Joe Biden continues to attack and label some 75 million American voters—half of the nation’s electorate—”fascists” and domestic terrorists. An alarming …
