The problem — and the charm — of inclusivity is that it strips everything of meaning. Take the decision by Hunter Valley Grammar School in New South Wales, for instance, to rename its traditional Mother’s Day Stall a “Family Gift Stall”.

Now, the radically intolerant leaders of Azerbaijan are preparing to invade Armenia itself and finish the job begun in 1915 of purging all Christians from the first Christian nation on earth.

All our vain posturing, criticism, and attempts to stem the rising tide of social problems actually have a solution — so simple, it’s easy to miss. Instead of trying to address the results, the only real solution will be found when we address the source.
