The SPLC’s War on Reddit and Free Speech

From splcenter.org: Black Hole There’s a relevant quote by Friedrich Nietzsche: “He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself; and if you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze into you.” That seems to apply to the SPCL right now, which is shooting itself in the foot and expending… Continue reading The SPLC’s War on Reddit and Free Speech

Harvard professor explains how we can revitalize the American Dream In hopes of reviving those positive trends, Putnam proposed what he calls “purple policies,” which combine conservative and liberal ideas.

SJWs Eat Their Own

Last week the left had high hopes that they would be able to shutdown Reddit – well, so much for that. On front page of Reddit this afternoon I found zero stories about the shutdown, suggesting that most, if not all, of the locked threads had been reopened as people had gotten on with their… Continue reading SJWs Eat Their Own

Disparate Impact Litigation Hurts Job Seekers, Students, and Employers

Business Can Pay to Train Its Own Work Force One possible solution is cognitive screening – the use of tests such as the Wonderlic, SAT/ACT, or Wechsler to find prospective employees who can learn quickly and have good critical thinking skills (and thus would benefit the most from on-site training for technical tasks. training obviously… Continue reading Disparate Impact Litigation Hurts Job Seekers, Students, and Employers
