- Teachers Unions vs. Students
D1Teachers Unions vs. StudentsThere is a dilemma in American education. On the one hand, teachers are essential to student achievement. On the other, teachers unions promote self-interests of their members which are antithetical to the interests of students. So, how do we fix this problem? In five minutes, Terry Moe, Professor of Political Science at Stanford University, delineates this quandary and offers solutions. - Why is Modern Art so Bad
D2Why is Modern Art so BadFor two millennia, great artists set the standard for beauty. Now those standards are gone. Modern art is a competition between the ugly and the twisted; the most shocking wins. What happened? How did the beautiful come to be reviled and bad taste come to be celebrated? Renowned artist Robert Florczak explains the history and the mystery behind this change and how it can be stopped and even reversed. - Is the Customer Always Right
D3Is the Customer Always Right"The customer is always right" is a motto we hear often, and it suggests that consumers only have rights, and businesses only have obligations. That is wrong.

D5A Progressive's Guide to Political CorrectnessIs there a point where the "P.C. Police" are satisfied?

George Will, Washington Post Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, imagines what an idyllic politically correct universe would look like. - Baseball - As Unique as America
