    The United Nations—that leechlike relic of the 20th century that still pretends to be important—last week passed a resolution to declare the trans-Atlantic slave trade the “gravest crime against humanity.” While the resolution will likely have very little real-world effect for now, it’s a clear attempt by some countries to receive monetary reparations from those nations apparently guilty of…

    Freedom Requires Discipline—and We’ve Forgotten How to Teach It 

    Few things feel as American as a packed stadium singing about the land of the free—marching bands blaring, flags waving, the easy confidence of a people who believe in their liberty.  Which makes the scenes on city streets all the more shocking: groups shouting about oppression, injustice, and human rights violations in a country that is, by…
