Diversity Is Not Our Strength: How the Left and Right Broke Multiculturalism
Diversity is not our strength. Shared values are. A football team doesn’t win because its players are different. It wins because they share a shirt, a manager and a goal. My parents, like most immigrants of their generation, came to Britain with a sense of deference towards the country. Somewhere along the way, ordinary patriotism was replaced with white guilt, victimhood, and a left that calls everything racist while the right grows angrier in return.

French Kids Are Destroying Their Schools. I Blame the Adults.
The left says French students are rioting over underfunded schools and racism. The right says the riots are the inevitable result of mass migration and far-left agitation. Both are missing something: French children of all backgrounds have been taught to see their own country as the oppressor. A distant school bureaucracy, a national mythology of rebellion, and a culture of white guilt across the West have produced young people who want to tear it all down. As always, our political problems a...

The English VS British Identity Crisis Is Burying the Real Problem
Is Rishi Sunak English? Konstantin Kisin says he’s British, but not English, and was accused of racism for saying so. Suella Braverman agrees she will never truly be English, while Shabana Mahmood says it never occurred to her that she isn’t. The media can’t stop arguing about who’s English and who’s British. However, the real crisis is happening in our classrooms, where children are taught to see belonging through ancestry and to feel ashamed of both English and British identity. Follow the ...

Test Scores Are Plummeting Across Europe. England Held the Line.
Education Secretary Michael Gove was hated for his school reforms in the early 2010s. He worked to bring back classical texts, rigorous exams, and real authority for teachers. Years later, the very countries his critics wanted us to emulate have gone from the gold standard to underperforming, while England has held the line. But that doesn't mean that all is well in English schools. Follow the podcast so you don’t miss a single episode! Pre-order Katharine’s new book, “Diversity Is Not Our St...

Nikole Hannah-Jones Ruins Black Kids’ Lives… Even Her Own Daughter’s
Nikole Hannah-Jones, the New York Times journalist behind the 1619 Project, just admitted something remarkable: her own daughter thinks she was cheated out of a good education by her mother's politics. Ten years ago, Hannah-Jones wrote about sending her daughter to a poor, majority-black public school as a stand against segregation, believing that her wealth and status could single-handedly lift up the school. That experiment failed. Today, her daughter is left catching up from years of sub-s...

Why I Don’t Let My Students Play the Victim
Victimhood is not virtue. Modern culture has taught children and adults alike that suffering confers merit, and now claiming victim status is a faster route to power than actually overcoming hardship. This logic plays out everywhere from courtrooms to classrooms. The people we should be raising up are not the ones who claim the most suffering, but the ones who refused to let suffering define them. Tell children the world is against them, and they will believe you. Tell them they are capable, ...

Why Nathan Cofnas Is Wrong About Race Science and IQ
Nathan Cofnas made his name exposing Jason Arday's plagiarism, but he’s also controversial in his own right. Cofnas believes that racial disparities in education and income can be explained by IQ and genetics. He also argues that avoiding these taboo conversations fuels the woke obsession with racism. Rather than embracing the culture-first perspective of figures like Thomas Sowell, he’s in full agreement with the left about the relevance of race. Cofnas just disagrees about what should be do...

White Guilt Politics Hung Jason Arday Out to Dry
Cambridge University professor Jason Arday, celebrated in the press for his unbelievable life story, resigned amid plagiarism accusations and was found dead days later. The real scandal is not academic integrity, but rather institutional failure. They were so desperate to relieve their white guilt that they never bothered to question his story. Instead of treating a black man as a person, they used him as a symbol to prove they weren't racist. Follow the podcast so you don’t miss a single epi...
