Nicole Ault and Megan Keller WSJ, Sept. 2, 2022 “These tenets aren’t presented as abstract notions for faculty to consider, but ideas they’re meant to apply.” Randi Weingarten left no room for doubt. “Critical race theory is not taught in elementary schools or high schools,” the American Federation of Teachers president said in a speech last year. Even […]

Phoebe Maltz Bovy Common Sense with Bari Weiss, Sept. 4, 2022 “While the specific term cancel culture wasn’t used, the concept existed and was indeed driving cultural concerns.” At a church book sale in my Toronto neighborhood, I found The Official Politically Correct Dictionary and Handbook, a bestseller by Henry Beard and Christopher Cerf first published 30 years […]
Jonathan Kay Quillette, Sept. 2, 2022 “Canadian media is now full of earnest denunciations of an idea that MacKenzie describes as having been “jokingly created during a livestream.” Last month, Pierre Poilievre, the populist front-runner in the race to become leader of Canada’s federal Conservative party, was photographed shaking hands with Jeremy MacKenzie, a former soldier facing […]
Betsy McCaughey NY Post, Aug. 30, 2022 “Critical race theory has no place in the health-care profession.” Unless you’re a person of color or a favored minority, brace yourself to be treated unfairly by the Biden administration. President Joe Biden is pushing racial equity — which is very different from equal treatment regardless of race. […]

Fred Maroun Times of Israel, Aug. 25, 2022 “… pro-Palestinian advocacy is centered on an antisemitic lie.” A few days ago, the Canadian government cut funding to a so-called anti-racism group after it was revealed that one member of the group had posted antisemitic material on social media. The member in question, Laith Marouf, a “senior consultant”, […]
Rex Murphy National Post, Aug. 31, 2022 “… has Chrystia Freeland denounced Laith Marouf and the grants he was given? Talked to the ministers who gave them?” Since we seem to be amidst something of a — wonderful phrase this — “teachable moment” about nasty and vulgar terms tossed at political figures, and we have […]
Barbara Kay Epoch Times, Aug. 22, 2022 “If the cretinous Marouf had been an antisemite of the kind progressives are comfortable dealing with from a moral high ground—a white neo-nazi—they would have kicked him to the curb with the speed of summer lightning. As an extreme left-winger, he presents a conundrum for progressive politicians.” Minister […]
Michael Geist, Aug. 29, 2022 “… it leaves me dismayed that somehow a case of government funding an anti-semite did not spark the same reaction. If it falls predominantly to the Jewish MPs to speak out, the message in the silence from Pablo Rodriguez and many other cabinet ministers is that anti-semitism is a Jewish […]

Caroline Glick JNS, Aug. 18, 2022 “The apathy afflicting everyone from moderate Democrats to conservative Republicans, from Jewish American groups to Christian Zionist groups to national security lobbies is particularly stunning because Biden’s nuclear deal is even worse than Obama’s was. Not only does it give nuclear license to Iran, Biden’s agreement ushers in an […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Aug. 29, 2022 “We have declared many times that nuclear weapons have no place in our nuclear doctrine.” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi gave a speech on Monday in which he outlined Iran’s regional and domestic goals. It contained an interesting and important series of talking points that hinted at the regime’s focus. […]
Danielle Pletka The Dispatch, Aug. 24, 2022 “… it can be confident that the agreement will survive, because ultimately INARA requires two-thirds supermajorities in both houses of Congress to block an agreement, a prospect with precisely zero likelihood given the current partisan environment.” Like deja vu all over again, it seems the United States is […]

Lahav Harkov Jerusalem Post, Aug. 28, 2022 “In 2030, the Iran deal expires entirely, without limits on uranium enrichment, on stockpiling, heavy water reactors, or plutonium.” After months of hibernation, Iran nuclear talks woke up again last month, when the European Union presented what it said was the final draft of the deal on July 21. Since then, Iran […]
