The editor of The Boston Globe plans to give reporters and other staff members "the necessary time to look back six months and assess their work through a racial lens," according to a memo he sent the newspaper's staff earlier this week.
Brian McGrory, the editor, wants reporters, columnists, editors, photographers, and video producers to count "how many people of color were subjects, how many were quoted as experts, how many were depicted in photographs and videos, and in what fashion?"
Left-wing demonstrators and rioters have managed to achieve in a matter of weeks what courteous conservative thinkers failed to accomplish in a century: Knock Woodrow Wilson off his progressive pedestal.
More than any other figure in American history, President Wilson embodied and popularized the 20th Century ideology known as Progressivism. Wilson's eight years in the presidency created the template for the modern administrative state: a powerful executive branch, an oversized bureaucracy, the increased centralization of government, an unending demand for so-called legislative reforms, and multiplying federal agencies regulating more aspects of life.
