    Alive and Kicking: News of Woke’s Death Is Greatly Exaggerated

    RealClearWire—Just a few years ago, wearing a sombrero on Halloween could get you banished from polite society for the social crime of “cultural appropriation.” Nutrition experts argued that preventing obesity was a form of racialized “fatphobia,” even as scientific names of songbirds were purged in a moral campaign presumably aimed at white supremacy. Meanwhile, a slew of studies, papers, and articles argued that punctuality, excellence, and other forms of professionalism are “the systemic, institutionalized centering of whiteness.” Today, as universities are dismantling…

    Head Start Isn’t Really Giving Kids a Head Start. Here’s How to Deal With It. 

    For many families, summer often means scoping out childcare options while parents continue to work. Some families in low-income neighborhoods turn to Head Start, a program whose very name suggests children should expect to finish their time at one of these centers better prepared for school. But today, after more than 60 years and over $240 billion in spending, the program has fallen well short of that goal.    A new Heritage Foundation report reveals a harsh reality: Head Start centers are overregulated, unsafe, expensive, and fail to deliver lasting…

  • I Lived as a Woman for 8 Years. Being ‘Transgender’ Is a Fantasy.

    The “transgender” mask—no matter how convincingly applied through cross-sex hormones and cosmetic surgery—is an unachievable fantasy, and it is contrary to biological reality. I should know. I lived as a woman for eight years. Thirty trillion cells make up the human body, and they deliver undeniable evidence of one’s sexual identity, either XX (female) or…
