To Get Rid of Woke, Understand How It Got Started
- By Star Parker
Coincident with Donald Trump's electoral victory, increasing numbers of America's corporations are backing off their DEI -- diversity, equity, inclusion -- programs.
Trump opposition to DEI is clear, and J.D. Vance's bold opposition to this agenda was one of the reasons for his selection as Trump's running mate.
As the Trump transition team completes its work bringing in the new leadership that will run our government, it's clear that a priority is to uproot the woke rules, directives and institutions that Democrats have implanted in our federal government. Efforts will be made to de-woke the military, the Defense Department and other major government departments and agencies. And the Justice Department will work to use existing law to challenge the prevalence of woke rules that have so widely taken over the governance and operation of our universities.
Young, Black, Hispanic Americans Would Opt Out of Social Security Even If It Wasn't Broken
- By Star Parker
I pull the following directly from the summary of the 2024 annual reports of the Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees:
"The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund (that is, Social Security) will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until 2033, unchanged from last year's report. At that time, the fund's reserves will become depleted and continuing program income will be sufficient to pay 79 percent of scheduled benefits."
Our Social Security system is broke.
What Happened? What's Next?
- By Star Parker
Two weeks ago, I wrote, "There seems to be only one thing about which all Americans agree ... that something is very wrong in our nation."
My point then was that all the polling data has been pointing in one direction -- Americans of all persuasions are not happy with what's happening in and the direction of our country.
Now we see, despite all the pessimism about the state of American democracy, that it works.
What's Wrong in Our Nation?
- By Star Parker
As we move to the conclusion of this election cycle, there seems to be only one thing about which all Americans agree.
That is, that something is very wrong in our nation.
In the latest Gallup polling, only 22% say they are satisfied with the direction of the country. The highest this has been over the last 16 years was 45% back in February of 2020.
So, despite change in party control over these years, the sense that something is wrong in the country has persisted.
How Iran Steals Its Citizens' Wealth to Finance Terror
- By Star Parker
The Fraser Institute in Vancouver, Canada, just published, for 2024, its annual Economic Freedom of the World Report.
There are many ideas about what freedom means.
Economic freedom, which the Fraser Institute focuses on, is of key and central importance. It is about the extent to which individuals have control of their economic life.
It's about law that protects private property, having an honest court system that adjudicates disputes, that government power to interfere with and regulate enterprise is prudent and limited, that individuals and enterprises have freedom to do business not just at home but internationally, and that governments do not debase their national currency.
Why, In Our Free Country, Do We Lack Education Freedom?
- By Star Parker
What issue could be more important to a nation's future than education?
A country is about people. How Americans act, work, think, choose -- live -- reflects their values.
K-12 education, of course, is about learning to read and do math. This is what we measure in test scores.
But education is a lot more than acquisition of technical skills. It is about transmission of values and our sense of meaning of what life is about.
Black Clergy Speak Out for Israel
- By Star Parker
On Monday, Oct. 7, my organization, CURE, Center for Urban Renewal and Education, co-hosted with Michigan Lighthouse Ministries a press conference with more than 50 pastors from across the State of Michigan, noting the atrocities committed last year by Hamas terrorists against Israeli citizens and expressing solidarity with the State of Israel.
We chose a church in the state of Michigan for this program because Michigan is home to the largest Arab American population in the country.
It is also home to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American representative in the House of Representatives and one of the nation's most strident voices against Israel.
