By Larry Sand Battle lines have been drawn, the war is on, and the great parent awakening of 2021 will have permanent consequences. Back in the 1950s and early 1960s, my parents could send me off to school and assume I would be taught by people who shared their values. Those days are long gone, […]
By Alan M. Dershowitz As a lifelong Democrat, I am appalled at the way the leaders of the party have shot themselves in the foot by kowtowing to left-wing radicals.
