It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison

If the freedom of speech is taken away
then dumb and silent we may be led,
like sheep to the slaughter.

While i'd like other people to have read many of the books I've read.
this one is one I almost wish I could force folks to read.
Eugenics and Other Evils
By: G. K. Chesterton (kath-cough-aGoodCatholic-cough)
There is SO MUCH in his analysis and dismantling of the Eugenics programs of the 1920s that applies to things going on to today.
From vaccines, transgender transitioning, & banning of large soft drinks.
Often with a backhanded humor he attacks the mindset that gives people the idea that they SHOULD do it.
His use of principals, logic and common sense is devastating.
wow

What Happens When Schools Abandon Merit?A new book by Heather Mac Donald should serve as a national wake-up call.

America’s educational institutions used to adhere to objective standards of excellence. Students and faculty members had to strive and were rewarded (or not) according to their performance. What their background might be or where their ancestors lived didn’t matter.
That was true until a corrosive idea called “disparate impact” began taking hold in the country some 50 years ago. What that meant was that objective standards were objectionable if they resulted in poorer performance by certain racial groups. The obsession with disparate impact was kick-started by the Supreme Court’s 1971 Griggs v. Duke Power decision and has been growing in destructive force ever since.
In her latest book, When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives, Heather Mac Donald surveys the landscape and sees profound changes in crucial institutions: our schools and colleges, law-enforcement, medicine, and the fine arts. Everywhere, merit is being eroded due to the acceptance among “progressive” elites of what Mac Donald calls the bias fallacy—namely, that any underrepresentation or outcome disparities for blacks and Hispanics must be caused by bias against them.

A bit pricey, but I love reading Sowell. Chances of reading many more original works diminishing, he's 93 years old!
