Have some respect, black people—if not for Sen. Tim Scott, then for yourselves. The epithet “Uncle Tom” isn’t a slur white people use against black people. It’s used by black people against other black people. Those who dislike black people must, I’m sure, watch such foolishness with glee. It turned my stomach to see “Uncle Tim”—a play on Uncle Tom—trend on Twitter in response to the brilliant speech by Scott, R-S.C., last Wednesday night.

Some 125 residents in Marin County, Calif., can expect to begin receiving payments of $1,000 a month starting in May—no strings attached.

The Oregon Department of Education released a bulletin last month informing math teachers of a course available to those who are “looking for a deeper dive into equity work.” In an essay titled “Why Math …

The Center for Equal Opportunity (CEO) has filed an amicus curiae brief with the Supreme Court of the United States supporting petitioners in the case of Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Becerra. The case involves a challenge to California’s forced-disclosure requirement of nonprofit donors. The ability of CEO—and other nonprofits across the ideological spectrum—to find support from donors who wish to remain anonymous is critical.
