At the Intersection of Faith and Culture

George Yancy is a black professor of philosophy at Emory University whose research interests are almost entirely racially-oriented. Recently, he published an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education entitled, “The Ugly Truth of Being a Black Professor in America.” In response to “Dear White America,” an op-ed that Yancy had published in The New…

Randa Jarrar, a professor of English at Fresno State, will not be fired for the harsh remarks that she tweeted following the passing of former First Lady, Barbara Bush. And it’s a good thing too. Jarrar wrote: “Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war…

Starbucks, among the most liberal left companies in the country, a company that spares no occasion to virtue-signal to the PC gods, is now in the midst of a national controversy. Starbucks, so goes the charge, is “racist.” Of all the thousands of Starbucks stores around the country, a racially-oriented incident at a single location,…

The comic book industry sure has changed since I was a kid. Today’s comics, which price from anywhere between $4.00 and $15.00 and which can only be purchased in book stores and from collectors, are more often than not referred to as “graphic novels,” a term wasn’t even on the horizon the 30-plus years ago…

Unsurprisingly, Michelle Obama’s “hashtag” campaign from four years back failed abysmally to prevail upon the violent jihadist group Boko Haram to return the hundreds of Nigerian school girls who it abducted.

To put it more accurately, Christians the world over should be mindful that at…

In an essay of mine from last week, I brought to readers’ attention the painful fact—particularly painful from this Catholic’s perspective—that even traditionally religious institutions of higher learning have succumbed to the leftist, Politically Correct ideology that dominates much of the Western academic world. I mentioned the case of Michael Smalanskas, a Providence College senior…

A few days ago, I had a conversation with a neighbor who revealed to me that, insofar as she would like to exercise her right to bear arms, she doesn’t consider herself especially “liberal.”  For this reason, she would eventually like to leave our painfully blue state of New Jersey. Yet during the course of…

It seems that it’s impossible to pass through a single week without hearing about multiple outrages in academia.  And it seems just as obvious that the most obscene of these outrages tend to unfold at the most prestigious institutions of higher learning. Take, for instance, the University of Pennsylvania.  Penn is an Ivy-league school located…

Dear Mr. Hogg, Let me begin by expressing my condolences for the losses that you and the members of your school community suffered on that infamous day—the second St. Valentine’s Day massacre, if you will, an event that was all that much more horrific than the original for both the scope of the bloodshed and,…
