I’m generally not in favor of burning books as a form of protest; I’d rather people read the Qur’an than burn it. Nonetheless, this is an important flashpoint for the freedom of expression today. If the West continues to bow to violent intimidation on this, we will no longer have a free society (an outcome […]
Film Festivals Now Afraid to Showcase Films That Might Anger the Woke
New in PJ Media: Fresh evidence that the Left is totalitarian and brooks no dissent from its agenda comes from the wonderful world of cinema.

Here We Go: Sheila Jackson Lee Introduces Bill to Criminalize ‘Hate Speech’

Most of the comments that have the HuffPo enraged are just about not wanting Islamic proselytizing and indoctrination in public schools, but fair and accurate history taught.

They’ve learned their lesson, like so many in the West, and bowed to violent intimidation, which only means they will eventually get more of it. […]
