John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:
- What did the Black Panthers and conservatives have in common?
Much of Black Panther behavior, from beginning to end, was totally indefensible, and the organization's implosion in the late-1970s was almost comically gruesome. Yet while coming at problems from ideologically opposite directions, Reagan Republicans and the Black Panther Party shared a common desire to expose the flaws of the American welfare state and replace it, and they also shared a healthy respect for the Second Amendment. CRC's Ken Brown explores how Panther activism contradicts standard liberal policy positions here.
- What are the NEA's latest demands?
Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association, is pushing a simple if outrageous demand: no vaccine mandates for us teachers, but mask mandates and school lockdowns for your children. CRC's Michael Watson unloads on the continuing hostage situation in the public schools here.
- Why does Al Gore oppose low-carbon electricity in Africa?
In November 2016, the African branch of Al Gore's Climate Reality Project issued a report condemning nuclear energy as "bad for the environment," suggesting instead that the often desperately poor people of the African continent should power their electric lights with "sun, water and wind" energy. Ken Braun teases out the implications of climate alarmists' "let them eat cake" moment here.
- What does "public health" mean to the Left?
The California Endowment was created in 1996 after Blue Cross of California purchased Wellpoint Health Networks and spun off Wellpoint's nonprofit assets. The Endowment uses its vast wealth to support "social justice" campaigns and defund-the-police efforts, among many other progressive causes. CRC's Hayden Ludwig exposes what passes for modern "philanthropy" among today's West Coast elites here.

e Not Destiny
In the eighth episode of our online TV series The Politically Incorrect Guide, Tom Woods and Michael Malice demolish America's public education system. Public schools constantly claim they need more money yet receive record-breaking amounts with no improvement in results. In contrast, low-cost private schools have proven they can provide better education than public schools. Public schools also preach subservience to government in a way the Founders would have abhorred.

Living Orwell Instead of Reading Him
In this episode: We all know the First Amendment must be constantly defended. Sadly, that's especially the the case on college campuses.
Speech First, a nonprofit that aggressively defends students who fear punitive action if they speak up, has had several quiet court wins over the last year. While the landscape tends to look bleak for free speech, groups, Speech First offers a beacon of hope.
In this podcast, CRC’s Communications and External Relations Director Sarah Lee is joined by Speech First’s Executive Director Cherise Trump.
