A review of The Canceling of the American Mind, by Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott, 2023, Simon & Schuster, New York, 443 pages. The Canceling of the American Mind appears to have been written in a hurry and could’ve used some editing and wordsmithing. But it’s worth reading for its many examples of how colleges […]

Today’s most pressing women’s rights issue is not abortion. It’s not equal pay, domestic violence, or child care. It’s whether society is willing to recognize “women” at all. Without this basic understanding, there can be no “women’s” interest demanding or deserving of protection. That’s why the Independent Women’s Law Center is representing six Kappa Kappa […]

Editors Note: We think this is a good start, but it does not go far enough. We would hope in Arizona the Board of Regents and the legislature would call for the elimination of all DEI programs.

The Arizona Republican Party (AZGOP) gained a significant victory this week over Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes. On Monday, the AZGOP announced that the ‘Patriot Party’ “failed to secure enough valid signatures to qualify for the 2024 ballot,” crediting the “unwavering dedication of over 50 volunteers who…meticulously reviewed over 37,000 signatures by hand.”

As if partnering with a Satanist to design “pride” month merchandise wasn’t bad enough, Target is back this holiday season to force its latest batch of LGBT-themed Christmas products on its customer base. Last week, it was revealed that Target is selling a variety of “rainbow”-themed Christmas decorations this year, ranging from nutcrackers holding the “progress” and […]

There are many joys of being a Californian. The price of housing, the price of gas, and the price of electricity are just a few. One that is not discussed is how our elected leaders are constantly changing the laws under which we are governed. This is one of the worst aspects of our “independent […]
“Racism” is one of the many catchall words that are bandied about without definition or much thought. Anyone with the temerity to question the meaning of “racism” or to ask for a definition of the word risks being called a racist. Well, so be it. Given that “racism” has become one of the most ubiquitous […]

Editors’ Note: The Prickly Pear highly recommends attendance at this event put on by Davos In The Desert. The events of October 7 and the display of anti-semitism across American cities, universities and the media should horrify and outrage every decent person in the nation.

Hamas’s war against Israel, coordinated with Iran, has exposed the fault lines in the American Left. While mainstream Democratic liberals have sided with the innocent Israelis massacred by Hamas terrorists, leftist “Squad” members in Congress compete with Ivy League campus radicals to outdo one another by championing the vicious murderers as a “resistance.” Anti-Israel sentiment […]
