American History, Renewed by Charles Upton Sahm

Teaching American history is often fraught with controversy, but Gilder Lehrman has stayed above the political fray, thanks to its primary-source document approach. “Our constant North Star is the collection,” notes Tim Bailey, director of education and the 2009 National History Teacher of the Year. “We don’t have an ideological agenda. We believe in teaching history from the words of the people who created our history. . . . Educators shouldn’t be interpreters of history but guides of history.”

This is an excellent history resource and I'm glad to see they are getting some good press.

The Only Thing Being 'Appropriated' In Our Culture Is Womanhood by Matt Walsh

A white person can wear all the Chinese garb she wants and it will have no impact at all on China or Chinese people. She is not pretending to be Chinese. She is not trying to fundamentally alter the Chinese identity itself. But a "transgender" person who says he is a woman is in fact demanding that the very definition of womanhood be changed to accommodate him. The LGBT camp insists that all of the things that are unique to women — their bodies, their reproductive capacities, their chromosomes, their very biology — must not count for anything anymore. Womanhood is nothing more than a feeling, a declaration, and a costume. A man can "become a woman" by putting on high heels.

Brilliant. It's exactly what I have been saying but more pithy.
