    Nobody Knows Where the Word ‘Religion’ Comes From0

    In English, “religion” is the most common, catch-all term to refer to any organized group that worships a higher power. It is at the center of some of modernity’s most-heated controversies on the subjects of freedom, reason, morality, culture, and violence, and is a word that often inspires polar reactions of both respect and scorn.

    No, You Don’t Need to be ‘Qualified’ to Homeschool Your Children0

    Over the years, I’ve heard so many parents dismiss the possibility of homeschooling their children because they don’t feel “qualified.” “I’m not a teacher.” “I’m not good at math.” “I wasn’t good at X in school, so I could never teach my child that subject.” All these assumptions stem from a fallacy about what education

Scientific American, clearly stung by criticism that the March for Science (which it had helped promote) had been politicized, published a defense of politicized science in an editorial this week. The argument of the author—Ubadah Sabbagh—is that science can’t

  • No, the American Republic Was Not Founded on Slavery0

    Journalistic propaganda is a powerful instrument of indoctrination. Without evidence, foul ideas can easily penetrate mainstream discourse. For instance, recently it has become fashionable to posit that slavery is America’s original sin. To sensible people, this is a risible claim, because there is nothing particularly American about slavery. But revisiting the history of slavery in
