The Democrats' hatred of the suburbs
Linda R. Killian: The war on America's suburbs has opened a new front. Buried in President Biden's proposed budget for 2023 is a $10-billion bribe for suburban communities to remove zoning barriers to high-density housing. The federal government promises the suburbs funding for street improvements, traffic control, and water and sewer lines if they adopt "housing-forward policies" that eliminate single-family zoning and open their communities to "affordable housing." This is no benign endeavor to provide more housing. It is a strong signal to Democrat-controlled states to gear u... read more

The Dems Jan. 6 fiasco
Jonathon Moseley: It is widely seen that the U.S. House Select Committee about January 6 is falling flat. See, e.g., Breitbart's article, "January 6 Committee's Third Hearing So Boring NBC Cut to Golf Instead." (For golf to be more interesting, it's bad.) What's more amazing is that no clue has penetrated the fog of Democrats, establishment Republicans, the news media, or far-left activists about why. Our political class is so out of touch that it could not see this collective yawn coming. And no, this is not about interviewing that one magic witness. It is the fundamental co... read more

Biden's war against the US economy
Victor Davis Hanson: Try to follow the Joe Biden energy plan of frantically trying to get his hands on more of something that his own party despises. During the Democratic primaries, Biden ran on the premise that he would end all fossil fuels during his tenure. In 2019-2020 that bluster seemed easy demagoguery at a time of near-record low gas and diesel prices. The American people shrugged at such utopianism since they often were filling up their cars for less than $50. Biden’s video clips from the primary campaign now seem surreal, as he tried to out-green Bernie Sanders in bo... read more

Three Experiments of Mixing Religion and Politics
The world’s first experiment of mixing religion and politics happened in India, in the third century BC, when Emperor Asoka of the Maurya Empire converted to Buddhism. In that age, the Maurya Empire, with a population of around 25 million, was home to one-fourth of the world’s population. Asoka believed that Buddhism could unite all of humanity and bring everlasting peace in the world. He sent Buddhist missionaries to several neighboring countries. Buddhism is the only religion that has won millions of converts in many parts of the world without any violence. The second experiment o... read more

Interpreting Law and Literature
This post was prepared for a roundtable on Law, Literature, and Other Performing Arts, convened as part of LevinsonFest 2022—a year-long series gathering scholars from diverse disciplines and viewpoints to reflect on Sandy Levinson’s influential work in constitutional law. Robert Pushaw Sandy Levinson maintains that literary theory and the performing arts can inform legal interpretation. Are such analogies useful, since legal analysis has such major political, economic, and social effects?[1]Perhaps “yes,” as hermeneutics (the rules, methods, and theories of interpreting texts) h... read more

I just read another essay by another educator who was not comfortable with the idea of a student saying she was bad at a school subject. I see this thread from time to time, this insistence on denying that students are bad at something. "No, you just weren't taught that well" or "Your teacher lacked the right tools" or "You are the victim of too-low expectations" or "You just needed more opportunities to master the material and concepts."
