Critical Race Theory: How to Be an Anti-Rationalist
Many conservatives are bewildered and befuddled by the apparent intellectual incoherence of the left.

Critical Theory vs Critical Thinking
Social justice. That sounds great! After all, who would not want justice in the society in which they live? In fact, the Bible has so much to say about justice.
