...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happinessfirst will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with

Abrar Omeish, the sole Moslem member of the Fairfax County School Board in Virginia, delivered the commencement address at Justice High School in Falls Church, Va., last Monday.
Her speech, first reported by the Daily Wire, began by congratulating the class of 2021 in English, Arabic and Spanish.
"Today we checked off a box in your academic journey. As a human being, you have developed and you have grown," she said before shifting her tone from inspirational to political.
"We struggle with human greed, racism, extreme versions of individualism and capitalism, white supremacy growing wealth gaps, disease, climate crisis, extreme poverty amidst luxury and waste right next door," she told the graduates. "And the list goes on."
"You understand that social justice is only political for those that can afford to ignore it. You understand that ’neutral’ is another word for complicit. And you have made a choice to take a stand," Omeish continued.
The commencement speaker went on to give the graduates some advice.
"The world may try to quiet you by deciding for you what’s cool, what’s weird, what is or isn’t objective. It may try to convince you that what you hold dear is too different to be accepted," she said, asking, "But who gets to decide?"
"Every part of your being may scream in rage at the ways others have wronged you," the school board member warned. Students, she continued, should "let compassion for your fellow human beings, not anger or rage — and believe me, this is hard to do — fuel you."
Omeish’s speech was preceded by an introduction from the president of the student government. The student body president noted that their next speaker was "Virginia co-chair for the Bernie Sanders
