With the ascension of relativism and the denial of absolutes and objectivity in everyday life, progressives and socialists have redefined the word "tolerance" to mean the blanket acceptance of anything no matter how unpalatable or absent of truth. Those who challenge this fraud of tolerance, who invoke factual data, display reason, or critical thinking are mocked and humiliated into silence. In his new book, "Conservative Essays for the Modern Era" Gregory Parker explores several of the latest issues (identity politics, democratic socialism, gun control, Islam) to reveal the hypocrisy and blatant disregard for basic science and facts. These five powerful essays to his son, deliver a thought-provoking look at the latest issues that make up the millennial self-serving, subjective reality.

In this insightful essay, Dr. Parker examines one of the pressing questions on the minds of most young Americans today; is capitalism immoral? Dr. Parker draws depth for this essay from observing several students dressed in high-end apparel, gripping iPhones, and listening to rap music on pricey headphones while using factual data to debunk the immoral myth and answer this highly complex question. Additionally, Dr. Parker reveals some of today's economic fallacies ingrained in the minds of most young Americans.

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was just one of several new insurgent movements for democracy and social justice during the late 1950s and early 1960s, and it must be understood in the context of other causes and organizations—in the United States and abroad—that inspired its founding manifesto, the Port Huron Statement. In A New Insurgency: The Port Huron Statement and Its Times, a diverse group of more than forty scholars and activists take a transnational approach in order to explore the different—though often interconnected—campaigns that mobilized people along varied racial, ethnic, gender, and regional dimensions from the birth of the New Left in the civil rights and pacifist agitation of the 1950s to the Occupy movements of today. This volume features three never-before-published “manifesto drafts” written by Tom Hayden in early 1962 that generated the discussion leading to the Port Huron meeting. Other highlights include recollections from leading women in the Port Huron deliberations who, three years later, protested the subordination of women within the radical movements, thus setting the stage for the rise of women’s liberation. A New Insurgency is based on the University of Michigan’s conference commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Port Huron Statement in 2012. Blurb “The fiftieth anniversary of the Port Huron Statement has drawn a great number of reflections and commemorations, but this carefully conceived volume offers an account of unrivaled ambition, exceptional breadth, and surprising insight. It both excavates the event itself—vividly, perceptively, exhaustively—and gives it the largest and most illuminating of contexts. A New Insurgency is as close to definitive as any volume of this kind can become.” Geoff Eley, Karl Pohrt Distinguished University Professor of Contemporary History, University of Michigan
