Rod Dreher
Here is a link to Frederick Douglass's Fourth of July Speech in 1852. "What is the Fourth of July to a Slave?" he asks. This is one of the most incandescent pieces of rhetoric in American history. Absolutely shattering.

A Manhattan board meeting shows how postliberal, race-conscience wokeness makes society ungovernable
Rod Dreher
This Zoom meeting by a NYC education council is must-see TV. It shows how race-conscious, social-justice progressivism makes a multiracial, pluralistic society ungovernable. A warning of what we'll get if wokeness defeats small-l liberalism.

Rod Dreher
Two powerful letters testify to the difficult reality of life for Catholics (and others) who want to practice the faith in these woke times -- and how clueless many Catholic parents are. (I would say this applies to *all* Christian parents).

So, the White House couldn't get in touch with the president to tell him to take down that "white power" tweet because he was golfing and had put his phone down. What if there had been, I dunno, a Pearl Harbor-like attack?
