    Fighting the Woke Asylum Through Natural Law0

    “Academics repeatedly declare the natural law to be dead,” observed former Notre Dame law professor Anton-Hermann Chroust. “But every twenty-five years or so it comes in again by the back door when some crisis shows the failure of utilitarian positivism.” America seems to be at such a crisis point, with the dominance of “wokeism” and the

    Beginning in September, hospital administrators across the country began threatening to fire health care workers who had not received the so-called COVID vaccine.
