Dear parents,
Get ready to drop a leg on summer, because it’s back-to-school season. And thanks to the secretary of education—and former WWE CEO—Linda McMahon, there are gonna be some big changes to the curriculum, including yours truly running the show. McMahon and the big-dog-in-chief already tried to withhold over $6 billion in federal grants for schools, but that’s just the start of this exciting new chapter.

Off the bat, we’re banning some books. Alice Walker? In your dreams. The Kite Runner? Not on my watch. And as for that no good, piece of trash J. D. Salinger, I’ll tell him what I told Jake “The Snake” Roberts back in ’94: “Forget the rye, you’re about to catch these fists!” Call me a phony one more time, and you’ll be riding a carousel of pain if you know what’s good for you.

Nobody needs to be told that Keir Starmer’s father was a ‘toolmaker’. At a conservative count, he’s brought it up around 40 times in speeches, party political broadcasts and softball interviews. Nor do they need to be told that he enjoys watching Arsenal and playing football. These biographical claims have become so familiar that they […]
Even if collective rights were compatible with the individualistic design of modern legal orders based on subjective rights, it would not make any sense to employ them for cultural survival projects enforced by state power.
