As Americans have learned over recent decades, there are endless, inventive ways in which cynical opportunists abuse the notion of "civil rights," and government capitulation to their demands has only emboldened them. This stark truth was never more clearly demonstrated than by the bureaucrats in charge of the country's education system, who flagrantly cast aside traditional academic goals, while substituting their own specious crusades.
The artificial forcing of integration, by any means necessary and with no regard to what it costs the children, began in the late 1950s and is still an obsession among many of these Believers. Trapped in their own single-minded version of "diversity," they diligently promote that which Walter Williams calls "enlightened racism, uniformity of thought, and political proselytizing."

| The bad old days |
|
Long before it was decided that America's former slaves were cripples in need of the state's largesse, black men proved their mettle. They developed capital, created banks, thousands of businesses, owned property worth millions of dollars, established schools, and uplifted communities. They did all this during the period now looked back on as "the worst of times."

| Understanding "Hate Crime" Laws |
|
There's more to them than meets the eye. Stop thinking "protection" for minorities and gays. These laws are the first move towards doing away with the First Amendment, in incremental steps. A proposed federal law would bring about greater government censorship. Should we repeat the mistakes of Europe and Canada? Here are links for more information.
