I feel sorry for artists in the modern democratic state. They can fool themselves into believing that they are somehow "brave" and "cutting edge." And then an issue comes along that really does require courage to comment on, and they feel ... well ... cognitive dissonance. Quoth Ben Hoyle in the Times:Britain's contemporary artists are fêted around the world for their willingness to shock but fear is… [read post]

If you're looking for bed-time reading about how to combat murderous religious zealots (and who isn't in these troubled times...?), you can't go wrong with "Government Action in the Demise of the Thugs (1829 - 1835) and Sikh Terrorists (1980 - 1993) and Lessons for the United States" by John A. Coloe. It's available on the Department of Homeland Security web cite in pdf form, so you have to scroll down to find it. I'll confess that I… [read post]

No, I don't mean today. It's a bit chilly and overcast for Southern California, but I wouldn't call it gloomy .... I'm referring to the movie "Gloomy Sunday," which my ex-husband has been recommending to me for the last several years. I finally rented it at my local video ... I mean DVD ... parlor. He was right. It's was quite a good movie--weirdly tragic and comic at the same time. This morning I went on the internet to learn something… [read post]

Bernie Meltzer, my labor law teacher at the University of Chicago Law School, died this past week after a long and full life. He was 92. Meltzer was a wonderful man, who was never too busy to chat with students about the law and occasionally about life. He will be missed by all those who knew him, including the members of the Class of '81. I will remember him in particular for his critique of the decision in United Steelworkers v. Weber--in which the Supreme Court held… [read post]

IT WAS AROUND THIS TIME 21 YEARS AGO THAT PROPOSITION 209 WAS FINALLY IMPLEMENTED: Proposition 209, which prohibited (among other things) state universities from engaging in discrimination or preferential treatment on the basis of race, color, sex, or ethnicity, had been tied up in litigation for nearly a year. But by September the Ninth Circuit had spoken and en banc review had been denied. The University of California has no choice but to conduct its admissions season as if Proposition 209 was the… [read post]

[How Race Preferences Damage Higher Education] If you haven't checked it out already, please take a look at A Dubious Expediency: How Race Preferences Damage Higher Education (edited by Maimon Schwarzschild and yours truly). The theme is just what the title suggests—that admissions policies that give preferential treatment to under-represented minorities have not been good for colleges and universities (or indeed for anyone, very much including the policies' intended beneficiaries).… [read post]

On October 19, 2010, our fearless leader Eugene Volokh posted a piece entitled "When I Hear 'Pure Vermont,' Racial Purity Is the First Thing that Comes to Mind." In it, he brought attention to an utterly silly statement made by Curtis Reed Jr., the Chair of the Vermont State Advisory Committee On Civil Rights. Reed was upset with the Brian Dubie for Governor "Pure Vermont" advertising campaign and argued the slogan would have sinister connotations to many voters: [F]or… [read post]

I received the following Request for Proposals a few days ago. I don't find it particularly troubling that there are academics like Dreier and Lichtenstein, backed by an organization out there somewhere, who want to pay $1000 per essay to progressive academics willing to fight "the battle with conservative ideas." If that's what they want to do, fine. Go at it. And may the best ideas win. What I found unusual is the lack of embarrassment about the request. I've never seen a… [read post]

Earlier this month, I participated in a panel discussion at Washington & Lee University's Symposium on Lewis Powell held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The subject was race-based admissions. Again and again, the subject of standardized tests came up. It seemed to me there were a lot of misconceptions about standardized tests like the SAT, the LSAT and the MCAT. Seven years ago, I wrote a book review on Peter Sacks' Standardized… [read post]
