One issue that gets North Carolinian blood boiling is the former Center for Work, Poverty, and Opportunity at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's law school. To conservatives it is a symbol of the left's abuse of its dominance of academia, in which a Democratic politician...

The reopening of UNC–Chapel Hill Law School’s Center on Poverty, Work, and Opportunity as the “North Carolina Poverty Research Fund” by law professor Gene Nichol shows great contempt for the UNC system Board of Governors, the state legislature, and the people of North Carolina.

Suppose there was an academic center focused on issues of poverty, work, and opportunity. Suppose this center pledged to "examine innovative and practical ideas" for moving people out of poverty. Suppose its leadership was interested not in raising their own profiles, but in honestly upholding...

You’ve heard the spin the media, the progressives and the professors have put on the closing of the UNC Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity, but let’s step back and look at what this is and isn’t about.

If the recent review of campus-based centers by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors was all an elaborate ruse to silence a critic of state Republicans, it would probably qualify as the most improbable, elaborate, and ineffective conspiracy in North Carolina history.

It's particularly disgusting to see our state's drive-by media try to compare the UNC Board of Governors' decision to shut down a scam on the Chapel Hill campus to McCarthyism or the state's one-time speaker ban.

I have often wondered why Race is such a large issue in these times. Many of us, who lived through the sixties and were well aware of the events of those turbulent days, have well considered why Race is such a dominant force for those who are interminably imbued with the subject.

What can be done to help the poor is a perennial issue in politics, and with it comes what is to me a real puzzler: Why do those who seem most adamant that government programs are the best way to serve the needs of the poor also seem the least interested in whether those programs actually work?

George Gilder doesn't quote the Bard in his latest book, but one could picture him as Hamlet to his reader's Horatio, pointing out: "There are more things in heaven and earth ... than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

"Gloom, despair, and agony on me," sang the corn-pone troubadours of "Hee Haw," TV's long-running variety show. "Deep, dark depression, excessive misery. If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Gloom, despair, and agony on me."

When I took the job as a movie theater cashier, I had no idea my first excursion into the working world would deliver such valuable life lessons.

Ideas that look desirable or at least workable on paper can prove to be unworkable or even disastrous when applied to the real world. Just ask the millions of Americans who, under Obamacare, have lost health plans they liked, been forced to buy more-expensive plans they don't much like, or began...
