    The father of the Georgia school shooter is being charged with second-degree murder, confirming a pattern I identified after the 2021 Ethan Crumbley shooting in Michigan: White parents of school shooters are held responsible for their children’s crimes; black parents of

    Two weeks ago, police officer Keona Holley was shot multiple times while sitting alone in her patrol car in southern Baltimore. She was removed from life support a week later and died, leaving behind four children. Where’s the outrage? My latest @nypost

    WATCH: Here’s a clip from my recent talk at @BerkeleyLaw, hosted by @berkeleyfedsoc with @stevenfhayward as moderator. Student heckling became boisterous, along with fervent declarations of how oppressive it is to be a black law student at Berkeley.

    It’s an odd way to seek national unity: call a significant portion of the American public white supremacists, racists, and nativists. Welcome to the Biden presidency. My latest @CityJournal city-journal.org/bidens-inaugur…

    Conservatives are missing the real scandal in the congressional testimony from the presidents of Harvard, Penn, and MIT. It isn’t their inability to condemn calls for genocide against Jews: it is their outrageous double standard on academic freedom and protected speech. Read

    🧵 California is about to demonstrate what a world constructed from the tenets of critical race studies looks like. Starting this year, anyone serving time can retroactively challenge his conviction and sentencing on the ground of systemic racial bias.

    The officers who arrested George Floyd must be held accountable for their excessive use of force and callous indifference to his distress. But the charge of systemic police bias was wrong during the Obama years and it remains so today. My new @WSJopinion

    "The university should embrace a single colorblind definition of excellence." @CityJournal adapted my opening remarks from the recent MIT debate on academic DEI programs, which you can watch. city-journal.org/higher-ed-must…

    Moreover, school shootings with white perpetrators receive disproportionate attention, partly because the media value white life more than black life and partly because the country cannot bear to confront inner-city pathologies.

    Here's a clip from my remarks @UCBerkeley for a crime symposium hosted by @Heritage @BerkeleyLaw I addressed, in part, why the slight drop in violent crime last year is hardly worth celebrating. For that, I was likened to Goebbels and Hitler in my use of "factual propaganda."
