It must be terribly frustratingContinue reading “Stark Raving Mad.”

The venerable Glenn Reynolds, proprietor of Instapundit, asks poetically in his Substack blog: “Claudine Gay has gone away, is this the dawn of a new day?” Professor Reynolds is referring to, inter alia, the ubiquitous and heinous policy of DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) when hiring: in the private sector, government, and the academy.
