Christopher F. Rufo, Ilya Shapiro, Matt Beienburg There is a lot that state legislatures can do to reverse the illiberal takeover of higher education through Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) offices that, ironically, stifle intellectual diversity, prevent equal opportunity, and exclude anyone who dissents from a rigid orthodoxy. Here are four proposals for reforming public universities: […]
The hit pieces are accelerating. And, in this case, the Times has deliberately misrepresented my statement about free inquiry: compare the characterization on the left to my full comment on the right.

The Economist: The research is meticulous, and the details are forensic. Many previous intellectual biographies of thinkers like Bell, a Harvard law professor who fathered the discipline of crt, and Freire, a Brazilian education scholar who developed his influential “pedagogy of the oppressed”, are written by smitten disciples and seemed more like religious apologia than […]
