Reader rob smeared me as "weird and out of touch" for noting how intolerant progressives and progressive institutions are today. No, he complains, they are only being "fair"! So let me share three items of interest.
At one large organization where a friend works, two black cafeteria cooks were asked to prepare a special meal in honor of African-American history month. No doubt, they thought back to their own childhood and prepared on meal of ribs, collard greens, and cornbread.

I recently read a Milton Friedman interview over at WSJ (http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:zDR5Tc1T4ZUJ:www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html+wall+street+journal+friedman&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1)and just completed reading your interview.

Nice! I shall reread it after you are dead to see if the impression it makes has changed.
