I was channel surfing the other night when I stumbled on a movie I hadn’t seen for a while. It was a broadcast of “Judgment at Nuremberg,” and though it was filmed quite a while ago, I was quickly reminded of the movie's continuing relevance.

Imagine for a moment that you’re a teacher, perhaps at the junior high level. Most of your kids are doing all right. But one, who comes from a poor family that has suffered lots of bumps, is lagging. Do you spend extra time with the one who needs help? Or do you adopt the precept that every child requires equal attention and no one will get extra help if that means spending less time with others? That’s kind of how I view today’s flap over DEI policies.

Jenner & Block must stand strong at a moment of peril, for it and the country. @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/RFOwfISmOE
RT @ShiaKapos: .@AmandaVinicky is named VP of Comms for @Intersect_IL
Utter incompetence. If I had a kid in the military, the news that @realDonaldTrumps entire top team discussed secret Houthi war plans on a messaging app with an unvetted journalist is beyond worrisome. Someone needs to pay.
