Bill Donohue Liberals love to congratulate themselves for rejecting racism, charging conservatives for tolerating, if not abetting, racism. Yet the policies they favor—opposing school choice, relativizing marriage, dumbing down education standards, defending miscreant behavior—are racist in effect, if not in intent. It is not red-neck racist jokes that blacks need to fear—it is the policy agenda [...]
Bill Donohue It is one thing to disagree with those who hold to contrary political views, quite another to label them crazy. Doing so should not be done with abandon, lest it diminish the credibility of the accuser. But these days, there is no shortage of public office holders, and candidates for public office, who sound [...]
Bill Donohue The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Georgetown University have established a very tight relationship. This raises serious moral issues for Georgetown, a school that identifies as a Catholic institution committed to human rights. CAIR reportedly has connections with the Holy Land Foundation, an entity that has seen several of its leaders convicted [...]
Bill Donohue Senator Lindsey Graham was an astute advocate of traditional moral values: his defense of the rights of the unborn, marriage (properly understood), and religious liberty endeared him to people across faith lines. He was not a man to compromise his principles. He strongly disagreed with the position of President Trump on the Dobbs decision, [...]
Michael P. McDonald If anyone has any doubt about just how radical New York City Zohran Mamdani is, consider the following list of people whom he has embraced. Darializa Avila Chevalier Chevalier is the Democratic nominee for New York’s 13th Congressional. Thanks to Mamdani’s endorsement, she was able to defeat Representative Adriano Espaillat. In 2019, Chevalier [...]
Michael P. McDonald Just prior to the festivities surrounding the 250 anniversary of the founding of America, President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission released a draft of its final report. For more than 270 pages, this broad ranging report highlights the most appalling infringements of the rights of faithful Americans. More importantly, the report offers suggestions on [...]
Bill Donohue The average New Yorker has no time to read New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s 375-page report, “New York City Preliminary Racial Equity.” As a sociologist who has written extensively on racial issues, and as someone who has worked with racial and ethnic minorities for many years, reading this report was right up my [...]
Bill Donohue The most common way to live, across the globe and from the beginning of time, is in a state of authoritarianism. Slavemasters, feudal lords, monarchs, warlords, pharaohs, czars, barbarians—they are the very stuff of history. In other words, historically speaking, to live in a free society is a freak. It’s an even bigger freak [...]
Bill Donohue Most Americans are justly proud of their country, but some, primarily those on the Left, are not. They are fond of comparing America’s treatment of various segments of our society to conditions that would exist in an ideal world. Obviously, by this measure, we fail. That’s their point—they have rigged the game so as [...]
Bill Donohue The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that states can ban males from competing in women’s sports. At issue is whether males, who falsely identify as female—so-called transgender females—can compete against girls and women in athletic events. The high court cited Title IX, enacted in 1972, to support its decision. It bars discrimination on the [...]
