Free Speech

There is a spirit of ferocious intellectual intolerance sweeping the country and much of the journalistic establishment with it. Contrary opinions aren’t just wrong but unworthy of discussion. From a NYT editorial arguing that the Times should publish editorials like Tom Cotten's suggesting sending in the troops to halt the riots.

A high school principal advised her students not to loot. A petition is calling for her to resign, but she's hanging on.

This article from the Asia Times puts some perspective on black and white shootings.

There is a programming term "master" and "slave" to refer to the hierarchy of software routines. Github is abandoning them.

Fifty-four scientists have lost their jobs as a result of NIH probe into foreign ties.

Reverend Maupin was a longtime activist protesting police shootings. Police invited him to use of force training. He left with a new perspective.

Clarence Thomas upbraids SCOTUS for 'Prolonging Our Decade-Long Failure to Protect the Second Amendment'.

Victor Davis Hanson with another terrific article about the myth of "White Privilege".

A writer threw away her treasured copy of Gone With the Wind because she is nuts.

It's the season for tearing down statues, not just heroes of the Civil War, but even John Sutter in front of Sutter Memorial Hospital and Mahatma Ghandi in England.

The Democrats are pushing mail-in ballots. Of course they are; there's so much more room for graft.
