A Canadian professor once complained to me that academia is nowhere near as radically leftist as conservative culture critics tend to imagine. Yes, thereâs plenty of âwokenessâ on display.

Donald Trump has an opportunity to lead the higher-education reform movement that his country desperately needs. To succeed, he’ll have to tackle colleges’ deep-rooted tendency to resist change. Demands that colleges eliminate programs such as gender studies might appeal to conservatives.

At first, it was something of a sensation when Stewart Brand, the founder of the legendary Whole Earth Catalog, came out in favour of nuclear power. The man who led the back-to-the-land movement in the 1960s and inspired his followers to build windmills, grow organic food, and live off-grid was now advocating an energy source he had long been against. It was 2007. Climate change was becoming an urgent problem.

The notion that Britain, being a former European colonial power, owes reparations to those it formerly enslaved and colonised has now reached the top of government.

Among other achievements, Coppola has produced the greatest four consecutive films of any director: The Godfather I and II, The Conversation, and Apocalypse Now, made within seven years of each other in the 1970s, during the apex of the American New Wave.

By Ralph Leonard, for UnHerd:https://unherd.com/newsroom/right-wing-anti-zionism-is-on-the-rise-in-america/https://archive.ph/TCrSoRight-wing anti-Zionism is on the rise in America Most people recognise anti-Zionism as a Leftist phenomenon in America. But they are less attuned to how Right-wingers have adopted the ideology, given that conservatives are frequently assumed to be axiomatically pro-Israel.
