It’s hard to explain how this type of protective nature works, but it’s very primal, instinctual, and powerful. And that’s precisely what’s happening right now to scores of mothers across the country, as they watch in horror as their children’s educations are poisoned by an anti-American, anti-white, communist curriculum called “Critical Race Theory.” Critical Race Theory is a theoretical framework that is rooted in Marxism. It imagines individuals...

The reflective Mary Eberstadt has the latest Weekly Standard cover story, asserting that the late rise of identity politics especially among the young descends from the decline in family, despite myriad other theories. An excerpt: Maybe that cultural scream of ‘mine!’ is issuing from souls who did have something taken from them—only something more elemental than the totemic objects now functioning as figurative blankies for lost and angry former children. As of today, less than 65 percent of American children live with both biological parents, even as other familial boughs have broken via external forces like the opioid crisis, criminality...

According to the evidence presented by prosecutors, Luca was not allowed to play with other children, go to church, participate in sports or leave the house before or after school. The boy's teachers said he was sent to school with his snacks already cut into bite-size portions for him. Investigators say the teachers noticed that he was both physically and psychologically stunted from such around-the-clock doting. "He didn't know how to run. He had the motor skills of a 3-year-old child," Andrew Marzola, the lawyer representing the boy, told the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera.

............If I am undervalued and unrewarded, half nuts and to blame for every ill that can befall a child, I don't want to spend my last 15 minutes of consciousness at the end of what Warner describes as my exhausting and unfulfilling day reading about it. Maybe it is just me, because these books are flying off the shelves and the authors are getting time with Katie Couric and on National Public Radio and are on the cover of Newsweek. My theory is this: The authors of these books are just as bright, angry and tired as the mothers they...
