Lockdown is a blunt, indiscriminate policy that forces the poorest and most vulnerable people to bear the brunt of the fight against coronavirus. As an infectious diseases epidemiologist, I believe there has to be a better way. That is why, earlier this month, with two other international scientists, I co-authored a proposal for an alternative approach — […]
Most Americans were not aware when a toxic theory of race relations deeply embedded itself into our culture, especially our schools.

A nation that somehow survived the chaos of the 1876 election can survive the expected chaos of the 2020 election. You’re no doubt aware of the predictions of chaos if the presidential election is close, due to several states changing the deadlines for mail-in ballots. If the predictions come true, the nation will survive the […]

As we survey the results of what I am calling the of the Summer Maelstrom of 2020, what do we know? We know that extreme views of race and gender, once isolated in the crazier confines of the university, are now mainstream on the streets of America. We know that violence against persons and property […]

Prop 207 doesn’t simply decriminalize marijuana. That could have been done in a page or two. Marijuana sellers, instead, wrote 17-pages of changes to Arizona law, creating a lucrative recreational marijuana industry for themselves, at the cost of Arizonans. The sweeping changes in Prop 207 would impact current laws governing driving impairment, workplace safety, as well […]

Look. Let’s get this clear. Black Lives Matter as a civil rights slogan is perfect. Who could disagree? The phrase simply states what ought to be obvious to anyone who isn’t a racist. Matters grow more complicated when someone states “All Lives Matter” or “Blue Lives Matter.” Quickly, one is marginalized and even attacked as […]

With 1.05 million people, metro Tucson is Arizona’s second-largest metropolis. About 56% of that population is in the City of Tucson, about 36% is in unincorporated Pima County, and the remaining 8% is in the relatively nice suburbs of Oro Valley and Marana. Once the territorial capital of Arizona, Tucson has a milder climate than […]

“When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.” Thomas Sowell Critical Theory is an umbrella term designating innumerable modes of revolutionary inquiry. The theories originated in the Frankfurt School and in Post-modernism. These may include critical race theory, critical psychiatry, critical literary theory, etc. The list proliferates.
