NYT Watered Down Margaret Sanger’s Racist, Eugenic Background

Posted by Mary Chastain on July 23, 2020 29 Comments

Planned Parenthood of New York will remove founder Margaret Sanger's name from its Manhattan clinic due to her history in eugenics. The New York Times provided quotes from people stating that Sanger was a racist and viewed birth control as a way to stop minorities from reproducing. The publication also did not mention the fact that Planned Parenthood will continue Sanger's mission. Ironically, the article reminds us that Sanger purposely placed her clinics in minority communities.

Polling: Cancel Culture Is Real and Silences Conservatives Most

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 22, 2020 30 Comments

Here we go again, the great debate over whether "cancel culture" is real. It is real, as I wrote in my op-ed at Real Clear Politics, Cancel Culture Is Real. The people claiming cancel culture is not a real thing, that it's just a gripe of people who don't like being criticized, almost always are those on the giving, not receiving, end -- the people on campuses and in the culture who hold power in given institutions.

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on July 19, 2020 45 Comments

Trader Joe's is one of those quirky, fun kind of stores that has seen enormous success in part because of its lighthearted quirkiness. Light-heartedness, really anything remotely resembling humor, is in the process of being rooted out and banned by the cancel culture scolds, so of course, they came for Trader Joe's.

Cornell University takes a major step towards compulsory racial activism for faculty, students, and staff

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 16, 2020 101 Comments

I have repeatedly pointed out, in response to the cancel culture targeting me over my criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement, that things have changed on campuses in ways most people don't fully appreciate. The new activism surrounding race is completely at odds with the traditional goals of the civil rights movement -- that all people be treated with dignity and afforded the protections of our laws without regard to race.
