The publisher of RealClearMedia (RealClear sites History, Markets, Investigations, Defense, Religion, and Science), which supports the cause of free speech and sharing viewpoint diversity, in a recent op-ed:
“… It turns out that the RealClear, viewpoint-diversity diet for the shapers of public opinion, policy, and law is also good for informed citizenship. RealClear’s reader profile stands out from all other readerships. RealClear readers know their own mind, as well as what the other side is saying and doing. You folks think in stereo. Most don’t. Yours is a needed state of mind that has important, salutary up-and-downstream effects.
A few years ago, I found myself back in the principal’s office. This time, as a taxpayer/consumer with a complaint. After my kid’s high school principal and I heard each other out, he confided that he was a fan of RealClear—particularly of RealClearHistory. ‘I’m a history teacher,’ he said. ‘Your approach allows me to expose my students to both sides of the historical debate, and to stem off a partisan parental revolt, who favor indoctrination over critical learning.’”
