Above all, I don't think the public has ever understood the degree to which press coverage is driven by the constant search for something new. As a reporter, you are in constant competition with other reporters. You are constantly aware of what other reporters have written or broadcast.

"calling on schools to strengthen instruction on the history and human toll of communism and socialism, and to ensure students understand the principles of liberty underlying America’s constitutional system" Now, where have I seen ideas like this before? Oh! www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...
Screenshot from my column which reads: As several characters in the classic 1980s movie Clue proclaim, when it came to the Red Scares, “Communism was simply a red herring.” Charisse Burden-Stelly, in her 2023 book, Black Scare/Red Scare, skillfully outlines how Blackness, particularly Black radicalism and the fight for racial justice, became synonymous with Communism and the dreaded moniker of being “un-American.” This scapegoating strategy meant that faculty members could be fired for being a current or former member of the Communist Party or for such transgressions as advocating as a member of a labor union, fighting for racial integration or being Black or homosexual.Screenshot from my column which reads: And so, the U.S. House of Representatives devoting precious time to passing bills “denouncing the horrors of socialism,” colleges firing or suspending faculty and staff because of their speech, and students getting grabbed off the street for writing opinion pieces seem like relics of the past.

Yet these events are part of our current, dangerous escalation in repression.
