The blind partisan rage stoked against former U.S. President Donal Trump will have serious consequences, argues Carson Holloway in The American Mind. The legal immunity normally granted to American presidents, Holloway notes, serves a purpose: not to put the individual in question above the law, but to promote moderate and orderly politics between the two American parties.
In Law & Liberty, Paweɫ Markiewicz and Maciej Olchawa draw parallels between current discussions to end the war in Ukraine, and the 1944 Yalta Conference that paved the way for decades of Russian dominance in Eastern Europe following the Second World War. The pair caution the West against convenient solutions to the current conflict, noting that a negotiated settlement risks handing Russian President Vladimir Putin a new “foothold in Europe”.
Want to end terrorism in the Middle East? Repeal “Obama’s Law”, says Edward Luttwak in UnHerd. With numerous terrorist groups directly funded by Iran, which in turn depends on oil exports for the bulk of its revenues, Luttwak argues that bombing the Iranian oil terminal at Khark Island would bring immediate peace to the region. Doing so, however, requires repealing former U.S. President Barack Obama’s still-extant prohibition on Israeli or U.S. attacks on Iran.
In Spiked, Joanna Williams reports on the growing politicization of British schools, and the rise of Relationship Sex Education (RSE) that seeks to indoctrinate young children in contested topics such as gender identity. “RSE is a means of imparting a particular set of values and political assumptions to a captive audience of school pupils,” write Williams, urging parents to take back authority for their kids’ education.
Renu Mukherjee examines the changing demographics of America’s top universities since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 decision to eliminate affirmative action. Writing in City Journal, Mukherjee explains how the old policy did nothing to fix racial disparities, and recommends future efforts focus on bolstering the quality of elementary and secondary schools in black and Latino areas so those students can “gain admission on the basis of merit.”
