This is an outstanding report on one of the great academic travesties of our time. To those who cherish black excellence and black dignity: read it and weep!

Academic aptitude tests (SAT/ACT e.g.) are merely messengers reporting to us on the intellectual development of our young people. The popular policy of banning them because of racial disparities is NOT anti-racist. Quite the contrary. Doing so betrays an insidious form of racism.

Though many will be appalled, I'm rather gratified by this praise coming in from the Right:

Watch Glenn Loury Call 'Anti-Racism's' Bluff

Glenn Loury has a message for progressive 'anti-racists,' and it's one all Americans need to hear.

In this exchange with @JohnHMcWhorter I admit to being very angry with the knuckleheads reeking havoc on the streets of black urban America, and ask myself: why? I fear that I've found the answer to that question: it's because I'm ashamed for them and hate how that makes me feel!

The vitriolic and racist attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas which have proliferated of late deserve to be denounced, regardless of where one stands on his jurisprudence. We do so here:

@RBReich They are free to set their prices wherever they want. Why do they need cover! Fear of losing market share is what restrains them. It's called Econ 101

Paying black Americans reparations for slavery is a bad idea. It is a small-minded conception of black American citizenship, and acting on it would be disastrous for the political future of our country. For more in this vein, follow me at

Let me get this straight: College administrators have created a bunch of meaningless jobs… to employ a bunch of useless people… who graduated with unemployable degrees… and are passing off the costs on our children… while raking in billions of tax payer 💵 It’s a racket

Bari Weiss is running a symposium at her newsletter today with various contributors, myself included, addressing the question: what is 'systemic racism.' It's worth a look:

Have you noticed? Those running elite schools, when questioned about their obsession with anti-racism, don't even bother to defend their pedagogy. Instead, these "educators" ask, in effect: "What kind of fascist are you to criticize what we're doing?"

Here's yet another phony racial inequity claim. I repeat: RACIAL DISPARITY NEEDN'T IMPLY INEQUITY. Invest in safer streets if you must, Sec. Pete, but don't pretend that doing so enacts "racial justice." (How about telling our folks to look both ways before stepping of the curb?)
