❌ Unfairly Canceled: It isn’t just celebrities and big names that suffer the bigotry of cancelation. It’s ordinary people—like all of us—who are punished and silenced for holding different views. The bigots don’t care who they hurt or how unfair they are being.
It’s astounding how far they will go to annihilate those with whom they disagree—from Eventbrite ([link removed]) canceling three recent events featuring women speaking up for women's rights because they apparently “violate community hate guidelines” to a Texas professor ([link removed]) getting fired for teaching basic human biology. Anyone can be a victim.

Today’s most pressing women’s rights issue is not abortion. It’s not equal pay, domestic violence, or child care. It’s whether society is willing to recognize “women” at all. Without this basic understanding, there can be no “women’s” interest demanding or deserving of protection. Read More ([link removed])

** ESG’s Luster Continues To Fade ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) funds are closing at alarming rates. Morningstar reports in Q3 of 2023 that investors withdrew more than $2.7 billion from sustainable funds—following four straight quarters of net withdrawals for ESG funds. In 2023 alone, investors have reportedly pulled $14.2 billion from ESG funds thus far, citing factors like “rising energy prices, high interest rates, concerns about greenwashing, and political backlash.” And the Securities and Exchange Commission, an agency eager to force ESG by regulatory fiat, announced it is dropping it from its list of 2024 compliance priorities.

** REGISTRATION OPEN: #IWReads with Alexandra Hudson ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
We hope you’ll join us on Thursday, December 7th, at 1 p.m. EST for our virtual book meetup #IWReads event featuring author Alexandra Hudson to discuss her new book The Soul of Civility. Alexandra, daughter of the “Manners Lady,” was raised to respect others. But as she grew up, Hudson discovered a difference between politeness—a superficial appearance of good manners—and true civility. In this timely book, Hudson sheds light on how civility can help bridge our political divide.
It’s easy to look at the divided state of the world and blame our leaders, the media, or our education system. Instead, we should focus on what we can control: ourselves. The Soul of Civility empowers readers to live tolerantly with others despite deep differences, and to rigorously protest wrongs and debate issues rather than silencing disagreements.
