Across 423 counties in 13 states, 26 million Americans live with a persistent opportunity gap. It’s not because of a lack of effort, talent, or community commitment, but because big government systems meant to serve them have failed to deliver. At the center of that failure is education.

Housing First has not just failed in its promise to end homelessness; it has also been like gasoline on a fire now raging across America. It is built on the claim that we will end homelessness by putting homeless people — most of them suffering from deeply disruptive and life-destroying mental illness or addiction — inside permanently subsidized housing units as quickly as possible.

In Quebec, a small town has granted “rights” to trees. Well, adios to wood for houses and paper then, and kiss your Christmas trees goodbye. Look, I know that this is only a small town. But scores of municipalities throughout the West have signed onto or enacted some form of nature rights. So have several nations. Read More ›

Casey Luskin shows how the common claim that humans are about 99% genetically similar to chimpanzees is misleading. Citing newer research, Luskin suggests the difference may be closer to about 15% when the entire genome is considered. Earlier comparisons overstated similarity due to methodological choices, such as aligning genomes in ways that minimized differences. Moreover, much of the genetic difference Read More ›

As America approaches its 250th birthday on July 4, a debate is growing about what it means to be an American.

The New York state legislature has passed an amended family law (Senate Bill S9316) that supplants the supposedly discriminatory terms "mother" and "father" with the expressions "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent." So woke wins another battle, although most people would regard the changes as ridiculous. Read More ›
