    The Root of Our Troubles0

    (This story was originally published by Intellectual Takeout on January 28, 2019.) Like you, I’m horrified by the exponential growth in social chaos and totalitarian impulses ravaging our country.

    The RNC Convention Meets Woke D.C. Streets0

    I spent last week in Washington, D.C. with veteran teacher and author, Rebecca Friedrichs. She spoke at the RNC convention about the connection between powerful teachers’ unions, and the aggressive indoctrination of children, resulting in an increasingly uncivil political discourse and chaotic culture. Her warning words soon seemed prophetic. The nation’s capital, like a lot
