Like many other Americans, I watched events of this past summer in horror as violence roiled our streets from Seattle to Atlanta and its inevitable climax on Jan. 6 at the Capitol.  I took time then to have “the talk” again with my eldest daughter and made prudent decisions as to when and where we…

An interesting piece in The New York Times highlights a ferocious blowback against woke ideas in France. Yes, France. “The threat is said to be existential,” foreign correspondent Norimitsu Onishi writes, adding: It fuels secessionism. Gnaws at national unity. Abets Islamism. Attacks France’s intellectual and cultural heritage. The threat? ‘Certain social science theories entirely imported…

Does the truth matter? Not if you’re the woke president of the San Francisco School Board, apparently.  A revealing interview by The New Yorker with the San Francisco School Board president, 30-year-old Gabriela López, gave some insight into the mindset of a public school board that just decided that 44 of its schools needed to…

Your local school might currently be shut down, but the “great awokening” will continue, pandemic or not—and whether you like it or not. Christopher Rufo, a visiting fellow for domestic policy studies at The Heritage Foundation, reported that the San Diego Unified School District—currently closed and only offering online learning—is conducting so-called white privilege training…

It is no secret that the media leans left. From the ways in which journalists choose to report on critical issues, to the questions they decide to ask political leaders on different sides of the aisle, media bias is undeniable.  CNN contributor Mary Katherine Ham and Fox News contributor and radio host Guy Benson are…

College campus safe spaces, speech codes, and woke witch hunts may be coming to a high school near you. Charles Fain Lehman chronicled in The Washington Free Beacon how school districts and private schools around the country are adopting woke, “anti-racist” policies based on critical theory ideologies once ensconced in the ivory tower. Schools are…

High schools across America are embracing a woke curriculum. Charles Fain Lehman, adjunct fellow at the Manhattan Institute, says he is troubled by a trend in education of embracing wokeness above reason and fact.  Lehman, who is also a staff writer at The Washington Free Beacon, joins the show to discuss his recent article “American…

Cancel culture is a black hole that is swallowing corporate America. The zeitgeist of social awareness and virtue signaling has spread far beyond the realm of adolescent Instagram posts to the point where corporate titans now have joined in the effort to push woke capitalism.  Don’t be fooled. Principles are hardly the reason companies are…

On Tuesday night, the American people spoke. They spoke with millions upon millions of voices to produce the greatest presidential election voter turnout in over a century. And they sent a variety of messages, most of them quite positive. Voters rejected the prevailing narratives of a media determined to make the election a pure referendum…

The agenda of the far left is frightening, and concerned conservative moms are speaking out.  Today, Allison Weisenberger, a mother and California resident, joins “Problematic Women” to discuss government overreach in her state, including bans on Halloween trick-or-treating amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.  Plus, the founder of “No Left Turn in Education,” Elana Yaron Fishbein, explains why…

In the past two decades, left-wing ideology has been seeping into our public schools at an accelerated rate. In the months since the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, we have witnessed the complete and bold hijacking of the public schools’ curriculum in broad daylight by radicals with a left-wing agenda. The floodgates…

“A pioneer devoted to equality.” That was The Washington Post’s headline about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But when Justice Antonin Scalia died, the headline was, “Supreme Court conservative dismayed liberals.” When the founder of ISIS was killed, the headline was: “Austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State dies.” But when President Donald Trump’s brother died,…

President Donald Trump took another step toward fulfilling his promise to “drain the swamp” on Friday when he authorized Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought to ensure that federal agencies no longer hold “woke” reeducation trainings. The memo directs agency heads to “cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive,…

If much of the dire rhetoric behind America’s moment of racial reckoning seems from an oppressive world of a half-century ago, that’s because it comes from “critical race theory,” a decades-old philosophy deeply skeptical about the possibility of racial progress. It turns up in the best-selling book “White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White…

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 out…

Silence is violence. That’s the attitude of radical “woke” activists, who increasingly demand that fellow Americans not only agree with them, but publicly demonstrate their support at all times. Several viral videos from Washington, D.C., on Monday show groups marching around the city, shouting slogans, and yelling things like “white silence is violence.” In the…

“Fake news” isn’t the only media problem in 2020. An important analysis in media trends of the past decade shows how activist journalism is promoting radical racial “wokeness.” There was a time when the woke ideology was firmly ensconced in the ivory tower and limited to radical corners of our university system. But now it’s…

In our summer of discontent, of protests and then riots in what many view as a racial reckoning following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police, we’ve seen previously radical ideas such as defunding the police become the norm. Not only that, we’ve seen liberal institutions such as The New York Times…
