Madison’s woke progressives invoke “economic justice, social justice,” and “racial justice” as phonetic talismans to justify redistribution, disorder, and race-shaming.
When radicals lose an argument, they try to silence the opposition. I was reminded of that simple truth yet again this week.
It showed how far he’s come — progress that, not long ago, felt out of reach. I made mental notes of the areas where we still need to do some work, but mostly I just sat with the joy of seeing comments like “participates well in class” and “a pleasure to have in class.”
