Insight: “By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right implies also a duty; one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.” —Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Upright: “What should be taught is that America’s and the Western world’s uniqueness did not lie in having slaves. Slavery was universal. Therefore, the morally serious person asks who abolished slavery, not who practiced it. But the left … is not now, nor ever has been, morally serious.” —Dennis Prager

Nailed it: “Emotions neither prove nor disprove facts. There was a time when any rational adult understood this. But years of dumbed-down education and emphasis on how people ‘feel’ have left too many people unable to see through this media gimmick.” —Thomas Sowell

Friendly fire: “It feels liberating to say after years of tiptoeing around the fact, but the American left has lost its mind. It’s become a cowardly mob of upper-class social media addicts, Twitter Robespierres who move from discipline to discipline torching reputations and jobs with breathtaking casualness.” —journalist Matt Taibbi

For the record: “If you think systemic racism is real, but don’t support school choice, you are the problem.” —Caleb Hull

Memo to the Left: “Frankly, school choice is the civil-rights statement of the year, of the decade, and probably beyond. Because all children have to have access to quality education. A child’s ZIP code in America should never determine their future, and that’s what was happening. All children deserve equal opportunity because we are all made equal by God.” —Donald Trump

Missing the forest for the trees: “I’ve read the [LGBT worker] decision, and some people were surprised. But they’ve ruled and we live with their decision. That’s what it’s all about. We live with the decision of the Supreme Court.” —Donald Trump

Theater of the absurd: “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it.” —Senator Tim Kaine (“The 1619 Project literally starts history in 1619, BEFORE THE UNITED STATES EXISTED.” —Ben Shapiro)

And last… “Liberal NBC News conspires with liberal Google to silence conservative [website The] Federalist months before a vote for president. Weird how Dems are no longer outraged about collusion intended to impact an election.” —Twitter satirist @hale_razor
