School district urged to keep Japanese program

Jan 17, 2025 | vtcng.com | Daniel Evans |South Burlington

To the Editor:Once again, South Burlington High School finds itself in its perennial struggle over what programs and services can be eliminated in order to get a budget passed. How tragic it is that educational opportunities that have been thoughtfully developed over decades to provide high-quality, enlightening experiences to our community’s youth fall victim to the budget axe.
Free speech is a waste of breath

May 3, 2024 | thecritic.co.uk | Daniel Evans

Free speech is not our cause, and it gets us nowhere anyway The Brussels NatCon is ancient history, isn’t it? Does anyone even remember it? No, of course not. That alone ought to be enough to tell you that whatever happened, there was in no way a PR triumph for its attendees, supporters, the adjacent, sympathisers, pitiers, etc. Readers may remember this previous piece on why free speech is bad strategy. At least NatCon can serve as a case study.
Save South Burlington High School language programs

Apr 26, 2024 | vtcng.com | Daniel Evans |South Burlington

To the Editor:Two of the four modern languages currently being taught at South Burlington High School are potential victims of the failed school budget votes. The teachers of German and Japanese have been issued RIF, or reduction-in-force, notifications that their current positions have been eliminated, and since each of these programs employs only one teacher, students could be robbed of their opportunity to learn these languages.
The right must learn from modern art

Mar 22, 2024 | thecritic.co.uk | Daniel Evans

Marcel Duchamp’s rule-breaking provides real lessons for the right The right often dismisses most contemporary art as left wing. This is a mistake. Prepare yourselves, readers — this is about to get really pretentious. The right is missing out on an opportunity for fun, creativity, and mockery of the progressive ruling class. It’s also missing out on an opportunity for taste-making and in-group signalling. This is all infinitely more desirable than stolid, boring biscuit tin “art”.

Picture credit: Roberto RicciutiBy Daniel EvansIt was no more than a three-minute walk – after all, Savile Row is barely 100 yards from end to end – but it was enough to change Kathryn Sargent’s life. It was during her time as a fashion student back in the 1990s that Kathryn, who grew up in Yorkshire and was then at college in Surrey, made the journey to Mayfair for the first time.

Do you want grandchildren?

Aug 18, 2023 | thecritic.co.uk | Daniel Evans

As morally right, factual and urgent as young people’s grievances about housing may be, something isn’t making it through. As if that weren’t bad enough, young people, you’re now set to be humiliatingly re-branded by the corporate press as “guppies”— “giving up on property”. Look. This is what they think of you. That won’t do. How to turn this around? How about a change in targeting and messaging? Who needs to be won over, motivated, and what is the most concise way to make the point?

Aug 16, 2023 | savilerow-style.com | Daniel Evans

By Daniel EvansEdward Sexton, the tailor who shook up Savile Row with his bright colours and daring styles, has died at the age of 80 following a short illness. Sexton, always immaculately dressed whenever he went out, was one of the key driving forces of change on Savile Row and, so much did he love the trade, he never retired. Most famously, Sexton combined with Tommy Nutter to bring a touch of rebellion to the traditions of Savile Row.

Taking the fight to cancel culture

Jun 26, 2023 | thecritic.co.uk | Daniel Evans

Organising to overcome ideological oppression What are we up against? Progressives dominate our culture and will not accept dissent. If you can’t tell by their governing decisions, you can tell by their prevailing aesthetics and propaganda. They are in the Conservative Party and the Church of England. Does the revolution reach the mind of the King? Do you know what happens after you wear a red Phrygian, sir? Like the mafia, they will tell you that cancel culture doesn’t exist.
