Commentary and debate explaining the ideas currently driving American political life. A publication of @Claremontinst.
“Reforming it doesn’t mean only tweaking syllabi or cutting DEI budgets. It means reshaping campus culture at the root. And that means institutions—private, funded, selective, and masculine—dedicated to forming future elites.” @theammind americanmind.org/salvo/brotherh…
"...these classes exist to form virtuous American citizens, and unless they are accomplishing that, they are failing our students and our nation." Nathan Gill and Jose Arevalo on restoring citizenship through a patriotic, thoughtful curriculum. americanmind.org/salvo/against-…
"Mark Twain may have been forced to absquatulate from Virginia City in shame, but he remembered his years in the Comstock as 'the most vigorous enjoyment of life I had ever experienced.'" CRB Editor Chris Flannery and Associate Editor @SpencerKlavan discuss the unique impact…
