** THE MEANING OF METOO
------------------------------------------------------------
On May 9, 2019, EPPC Senior Fellow Mona Charen testified ([link removed]) at a public briefing of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights titled “Federal Me Too: Examining Sexual Harassment in Government Workplaces.”
“On the whole, the MeToo movement has been a necessary corrective to years of gross behavior by powerful men,” Ms. Charen explained. “But it would be a mistake to think of MeToo as a civil rights issue. We are dealing with the fallout from the sexual revolution. This is a cultural problem, not a political one.”

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
People who support high levels of low-skilled immigration often claim that immigrants do work that native-born residents won’t.

** A ROUGH SUMMER IN THE EMPIRE STATE
------------------------------------------------------------
