FOUR U.S. NAVY SAILORS have been sentenced to prison for secretly recording videos on cell phones of female crew members in the shower. One petty officer received a prison term of two years and a dishonorable discharge. Another received a term of 18 months and a bad-conduct discharge, reports the Associated Press. Two others were given relatively minor sentences and several other crew members of the USS Wyoming await court martials.

So let’s get this straight.

The Navy deliberately creates conditions in which young, healthy men and young, healthy women are confined together in extremely close quarters in the middle of the sea. Then when the men show interest in the women as women, their careers are destroyed. They are not simply reprimanded for doing something improper, and of course it was improper, but their careers are demolished.

Such incidences must create a chill. There must be constant tension on coed ships. And for what military purpose? None. While the Navy severely penalizes men for minor male pranks, it relies on one thing above all else for its very existence — masculinity. (more…)

Paul K. writes from Houston:

I very much enjoy your writing and point of view on so many important elements of our culture and faith.  I am not Catholic, but share your concern about the general falling away from Christianity of our nation and so many families.   I thought you’d enjoy this cartoon from the Investor Business Daily (of all things) regarding what “the pope” might say to Moses if he parted the Red Sea today.

From Introibo Ad Altare Dei: Fox Television is getting ready to air a new television show called Lucifer, which actually portrays Satan as a good and helpful being. We are told “the TV series centers on Lucifer who, bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the gorgeous, shimmering insanity of Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals.” [cont.]

Here is an article in the Wall Street Journal about how 8,000 Chinese students are expelled from American universities annually, many allegedly for cheating. I have read many of Anti-Globalist Expatriate’s submissions here regarding how cheating is culturally condoned by Asians. Until now, I didn’t understand the scale at which academic cheating takes place among this cohort. (more…)

IF Booker T. Washington were alive today, he’d almost certainly be deeply shaken and saddened by the state of American black culture. For Washington, the former slave and first leader of the Tuskegee Institute, civil duties came before civil rights. The main focus of the civil rights movement was not his idea and not to his liking. It instead reflected the ideology of his main adversary, the black leader W.E.B. Dubois, whose thinking was congenial to the white Marxist revolutionaries who started the NAACP and who strove to translate the Marxist dialectic of class struggle into matters of race. (The early funding and leadership of NAACP was overwhelmingly Jewish.)

For an excellent essay on the contrasts between these two black leaders, I recommend Ellis Washington’s 2001 article on the now-defunct website which was run by Elizabeth Wright, another  eloquent black American who died several years ago from cancer and with whom I corresponded occasionally in the last years before her death. [Ed: Unfortunately, this link is no longer working.]

Compare these two quotes noted by Ellis Washington:

We claim for ourselves every single right that belongs to a free American, political, civil and social, and until we get these rights we will never cease to protest and assail the ears of America.

— W.E.B. Du Bois

The wisest among my race understand that the agitation of questions of social equality is the extremist folly, and that progress in the enjoyment of all the privileges that will come to us must be the result of severe and constant struggle rather than of artificial forcing.

— Booker T. Washington

In 2012, a commenter at View from the Right described how the contrast between Washington and Dubois lingers in black thinking to this day. (more…)

KIDIST PAULOS ASRAT writes: I sent you a post on the race-charged world of art and literature in Canada. Shortly after, I happened to listen to Ann Coulter in an interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News on her new book Adios America. She is basically saying the same things I am saying, when I dared to confront a Canadian liberal. I wrote a post on the interview, and here it is: Ann Coulter: Racist.

THE more black students are fed the Marxist narrative that they are victims of “white privilege” and the more schools refuse to provide them with discipline in order to avoid inequality in suspension and punishment rates, the more the behavior of students and the atmosphere of their schools declines. It’s no surprise black teenagers are playing the Knock Out Game on elderly pedestrians and killing people for their cell phones when they are encouraged in poor self control at school. Steve Gunn reports on the results of a new program in St. Paul, Minnesota which cost taxpayers $3 million and has reportedly caused so much chaos that enrollment has drastically fallen in four years. One teacher has her students use a secret knock code to enter her classroom so she can keep out those who roam the halls and cause havoc. Gunn writes:

Not long after PEG started working with St. Paul school officials, crucial policy changes were made, according to various news reports.

Special needs students with behavioral issues were mainstreamed into regular classrooms, a position openly advocated by PEG. (more…)
