It’s been a rough 3-7 years to be a conservative, a Republican, an originalist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An American who believes in what America was intended to be, really. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let’s enjoy some good news. This past two weeks have been a speedbump – it’s way to early to say “Battle of Waterloo” – for “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” (DEI), the Neo-Marxist corporate obedience training and consultant-enrichment racket masquerading as a business practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles C.W. Cooke on why Claudine Gay’s pre-emptive ouster at Harvard matters<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

That Harvard lost this one ought to serve as a warning to those who have convinced themselves that the purpose of the American citizenry is to furnish a few members of a distant caste with ever-increasing tithes and never to ask how they are being spent. Commenting on the affair, Khalil Gibran Muhammad, \u201ca professor of history, race and public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School,\u201d told the New York Times that the architects of Claudine Gay\u2019s ouster \u201cwill only be emboldened by Gay\u2019s resignation.\u201d If, by this, Muhammad means that they will no longer be willing to tolerate brazen double standards, open racial discrimination, and the subjugation of the entire human experience to a vicious scheme of antediluvian identity considerations, then he is absolutely correct. They will be emboldened, and they deserve to be. Claudine Gay did what she was accused of having done, and nobody has denied it. The critics were the good guys. Let\u2019s hope they come back for more.
