Religious persecution continues to afflict the world. Anti-Semitism abounds. Certain Islamic countries suppress minority faiths while Muslims face persecution in countries like India.

How radical are our leading law schools becoming? I wrote recently that Harvard Law School and Harvard University are instituting a class that will teach nature rights. Well, it's way behind New York University's School of Law, which recently launched and sponsors the MOTH project — "more than human life" — an initiative of the TERRA (The Earth Rights Research and Action) Program that pushes the nature-rights paradigm toward societal dominance.

Back in 1997, the euthanasia movement tried to gain an assisted-suicide Roe v. Wade. It didn’t work out. The Supreme Court instead ruled in Glucksberg v.

China is the world’s most vicious tyranny. But for all its wrongdoing, the country faces virtually no accountability. To the contrary, China is treated as a respected member of the international community, even granted the honor of hosting the Winter Olympics, which start on Feb. 4. Read More ›
