    A Parenting Reality Check0

    Once again, readers, I. MUST. RANT. Why? I … just heard from a mom trying to get two other families to let their kids play with her kids in her yard for an hour a week. Unsupervised. AN HOUR A WEEK. She lives on a quiet street in quiet suburb in a quiet state. Classic

    I Debated Pro-Choice Students at My Liberal College. Here’s Why It Gave Me Hope.8

    My hands were shaking as I took up my microphone. After a week of near-sleepless nights thanks to the stress of college classes, extracurriculars, and researching the ubiquitous abortion question, I was tired. Worse than that, I was nervous to speak in front of a room filled with my peers about my (counter-cultural) views on

  • Principles Are the Antidote to Politics

    Principles Are the Antidote to Politics0

    Only four percent  “of US adults say the political system is working extremely or very well.” Sixty-five percent say we “always or often feel exhausted when thinking about politics.” Yet, we keep doubling down, thinking that more attention on politics will somehow fix what ails society. In 2020, candidates spent over $14 billion seeking the presidency. This was

    Film Review: ‘Am I Racist?’0

    Matt Walsh has firmly established himself as a professional troll. I don’t use the term in a derogatory way. In many cases, his stunts bring needed attention to cultural and political issues, and he has a talent for reminding us just how absurd (and dangerous) certain contemporary trends really are.

    The Death of the Anti-War Left10

    Anti-war activists used to be at home on the left. In the mid-2000s, Democrats were the first to oppose the War on Terror. During the 2004 Democrat primary, for example, the last rival to John Kerry was Dennis Kucinich, a staunch critic of the Iraq War who would later propose the establishment of the “Department

    Break Out of Bad Therapy: Gen Z’s Road to Resilience0

    In 2018, 1,200 Yale undergraduates crowded into one of the University’s largest venues, Battell Chapel, ready to listen and learn. But the students sitting in the glow of the chapel’s stained-glass windows, who comprised almost a quarter of Yale’s undergraduate population, were not there for a church service. They were there for the most popular

    The Key Ingredient We’re Missing: Integration1

    The same thing that makes for a beautiful piece of music makes for a healthy society: harmony. In a beautiful musical composition (such as the alt-folk album Appaloosa Bones that I’m listening to as I write), the notes of each chord harmonize with one another, as do the notes of the melody, and a unifying

    Sweden Changes the Immigration Paradigm (Is It Possible in America?)5

    For the first time in 50 years, the number of emigrants from Sweden surpassed the number of immigrants to Sweden. This is significant—for decades, Sweden had the highest ratio of immigrants to citizens of any European country. Since a majority of Americans wish to reduce immigration after more than 4 million people were allowed to
