Back to Basics: DEI and the Purpose of Higher Education 

By
As institutions examine their DEI initiatives and consider what to keep and what to eliminate, they should do so with the purpose of the university in mind. If they do, they’ll see that, consistent with public opinion, DEI has a role to play. Properly ordered, it should focus on goals like promoting access to the life of the mind and ensuring that people from all walks of life feel welcome on campuses.

Parental Rights at the Supreme Court: Protecting Children from Government Orthodoxy

Conservatism without a Movement? 

By
Commitment to America as a whole must come one of two ways—as a “community of communities” in which one’s sympathy for the nation comes channeled through a commitment to locality; or through ideological abstraction.

The Myths in our Midst: On the Teaching of the History of Science and Religion in K–12 

By
Teachers are doing the best that they can. At the same time, I want to be clear that the conflict thesis is about as out of step with our current historical knowledge as scientific creationism is with contemporary biology. Continuing to teach its myths as fact is educational malpractice.

Trump

Trump v. CASA, Inc. and Constitutional Hardball 

By
President Trump plays extreme hardball by American standards, some of it blatantly authoritarian. Conservatives lose credibility when they deny this. But Trump’s election and reelection were, in part, a reaction to decades of undemocratic progressive change in the courts, bureaucracy, and public education—itself a kind of hardball. Liberals who deny or downplay these phenomena only feed populist anger.
patriotism

Love Your Fellow Countrymen 

By
Yes, patriotism can be as simple as flying the flag or even reciting the Declaration of Independence on Fourth of July. But perhaps the greatest act of patriotism is something we can do every day: start to initiate or rekindle friendships with people with whom we disagree.

Living in a Divided House?

Conservative(s) Teaching and Classroom Neutrality 

By
An approach that incorporates first-person defense of beliefs actually held by the professor of record can accomplish these goals, while also demonstrating that amity and comity are desirable and achievable between those who disagree vigorously. Such an approach should be on the table in considering the reform of higher education.
