NTC Mobilization Coordinator Christian Watson recently joined the British Podcast of the Lotus Eaters for a symposium episode to discuss the importance of tolerance and individualism to a flourishing society. You can watch a 30 minute preview of the episode here.
An explosive exposé has revealed the radical gender movement and the major medical organization that enables it to be an unscientific sham. Leaked communications from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) reveal an enterprise promoting something “much more akin to quack medicine or pseudoscience or witchcraft than anything approaching science-based medicine” according to journalist Michael Shellenberger, who broke the story. The “WPATH Files” (or, as one pediatrician called them, the “Frankenstein Files”) reveal an institution that privately acknowledges that transgender procedures they advocate for are experimental, untested, and devastatingly painful. WPATH is the leading global authority on so-called “gender medicine.” Their recommendations are adopted by the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organization, and every major American medical and psychiatric association. The New Tolerance Campaign is proud to team up with Transition Justice and their sister organization Partners for Ethical Care on this campaign that allows the public to hold WPATH accountable. Tell WPATH President Marci Bowers and the rest of the group’s unethical leadership to resign and close the doors of this reckless and discredited organization!
Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) can no longer be considered a “women’s group.” In this latest instance of female erasure, anyone who can show ancestry linked to the American Revolution and self-identifies as a woman is eligible for admission to the historic and venerable institution with an amended birth certificate. This action was taken under the pretense of preserving the group’s nonprofit status from discrimination lawsuits, but as a private membership organization DAR is already protected from such punitive actions. The surreptitious bylaws change occurred at the most recent DAR “Continental Congress” national meeting in 2023, and the backlash from DAR members across the country has continued ever since. Hundreds of DAR members have resigned and even more have let their memberships drop. Efforts to amend the bylaws to preserve DAR as a women’s organization at the upcoming Continental Congress were rejected by DAR board members. Unless DAR reverses course, members will be forced to share changing rooms, restrooms, and hotel rooms with biological males. Most members have had no say in this policy…until now. Use the form at right to tell Daughters of the American Revolution President General Pamela Edwards Rouse Wright and DAR senior leadership to end this calamitous policy! Then, please forward this message to fellow DAR members and former members encouraging them to do the same. This is the only means we have to register our opposition directly with DAR national leadership — let’s make our voices heard!
Is this the beginning of the end for ESG? Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles were once the rallying call of woke capitalism: a catchall in which corporations gave license to themselves to engage in social issues whether or not they are related to their bottom line. Now it seems ESG is on the decline, and it can only blame itself. In the past week, financial behemoths State Street and JP Morgan cut all ties and commitments with “Climate Action 100+” (CA100) a global investor coalition demanding members drastically dial back emissions, prioritizing so-called “green” policies over fiduciary duties. While not going as far as State Street and JP Morgan, investment giant Blackrock disengaged from most of its CA100 obligations. In theory, the primary function of ESG is to guide the investment decisions of major corporations in accordance with specific ideological aims. Some have described ESG as an example of “stakeholder capitalism,” a term coined by Klaus Schwab of the WEF that gives stakeholders (those who merely care passionately about a particular social issue) the same relevance and standing as “stockholders” (those with a monetary investment) in a company. This shift from stockholder-to-stakeholder supercharged social issues in board rooms around the world. For example: according to data from Stand.earth, a climate action organization, over 1,591 organizations have committed to divest from fossil fuels to meet ESG standards. But it appears ESG efforts are beginning to falter. A report by the Daily Mail, global ESG assets shrunk by $5 trillion over two years. The picture is even bleaker for ESG in the United States. Over the same time frame, ESG investments within America dropped from $17 trillion to $8.4 trillion. Consumers’ Research executive director Will Hild attributes the drop in ESG assets in the U.S. in large part due to “state leaders across the country” fighting back against the injection of “woke politics into the bond market” by asserting their control over state pension funds, ending ESG-related investments and taking a chunk out of ESG funding in the process. The decline of ESG is occurring within the broader context of woke capitalism failing. The fact is that if market forces demanded environmental, so-called “social justice,” and diversity initiatives, there would be no need for groups such as CA100 to mandate them. Much as consumers have shunned “woke” entertainment and marketing, so, too, are consumers and investors alike pushing back against ESG and the institutions that promote it. And as ESG continues its tumble, the power of the American consumer will continue to rise.
NTC’s Mobilization Coordinator Christian Watson recently penned an op-ed for the Washington Examiner titled “Cancel Black History Month.” The op-ed argues that Black History Month serves to divide Americans rather than unite us. Watson is quoted as saying “The entire premise of Black History Month is fundamentally flawed. Black history is American history. And while American history has many different shades, complexities, and imperfections, it remains a grand narrative that reflects our heritage and accomplishments as a nation.” Read the rest of the article here!
The Washington Times recently wrote a story titled “Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression rebukes Harvard with ‘lifetime censorship award.” The story discusses why FIRE ranked Harvard University last in its coveted free speech report. NTC President Gregory T. Angelo is quoted in the story as saying “The real question is whether the Ivy League institution will take these dubious honors as a wake-up call.” Read the full story here.
How can any school partner with the CAIR — an organization that was “happy to see” the brutal Hamas terrorist attack on Israeli civilians on October 7? Sadly, it’s happening. Recent news shined a spotlight on formal relationships between the Chicago and Teaneck, New Jersey school systems and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The collaborations are ostensibly done to “promote inclusion,” but CAIR’s track record shows it to be an organization that does anything but. The last organization that should be instructing any student about “inclusion” is CAIR. In addition to the “blatant and classic antisemitism” spouted by the group’s leaders for years, CAIR has become notorious as an organization that promotes a culture of sexual harassment, misogyny, and even discrimination against fellow Muslims that stretches from its state-based chapters to its national headquarters in Washington, DC. The White House severed ties with CAIR; shouldn’t Chicago and New Jersey public schools do the same? Send a message to Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez and Teaneck Superintendent Andre Spencer demanding they cut ties with CAIR and put students first!
NTC President Gregory T. Angelo recently joined the John Reid Show on Richard Morning News’s Newsradio WRVA 95.1 FM to discuss and the issue of Claudine Gay’s plagarism at Harvard and NTC’s recent campaign against CAIR. Watch the full segment here.
NTC President Gregory T. Angelo recently published an op-ed in the New York Post which addresses Democrat support of groups like CAIR despite the recent events involving Israel and the rise of antisemitism. Angelo is quoted as saying “Politicians who endorsed CAIR in the past have a duty to condemn the organization now. If they don’t, the press and the public have a responsibility to ask them why.” Read the full piece here.
A counter-protest group that actively opposes the pro-life Men’s March in Boston, Clown March participants don clown costumes and ringing cowbells to disrupt and ridicule Men’s March events. With a strong presence on social media, the group often uses provocative slogans like “Want to clown on some fascists?” to rally supporters and highlight their opposition to pro-life ideologies. On November 16, 2024, Clown March participants engaged in a clash with law enforcement that resulted in at least nine arrests.
