"The New York Times long standing motto: 'All the News That's Fit to Print' should be changed to reflect today's reality: Manufacturing News to Fit an Ideology"
—Thomas Sowell
September Schooling Delaware held a series of events to recognize the accomplishment & knowledge of the great American thinker, Thomas Sowell.
The first event was a movie showing of the documentary Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World1, followed by a children's book reading of Thomas Sowell: A Self-made Man.2
This September evening Thomas Sowell Documentary viewing was a success!
The purpose of these events were to introduce the ideas of Thomas Sowell & promote conversation. This couldn't have been better exemplified than the fact that after the movie, everyone stuck around & had thoughful, engaging conversation, which was the 'Sowell' purpose of showing this film - to introduce the viewers to the thoughts & ideas of Thomas Sowell, and promote encouraging, thought provoking conversation.
Thank you to all that participated, and thank you for Free To Choose Network3 for their generosity in making this event possible.
Here is an AI generated tribute song I created to honor the legacy of Thomas Sowell. For those of you that know Sowell’s work, you are in for a treat.
Alan Wolan, host of the “The Genius of Thomas Sowell” podcast makes the case for why Thomas Sowell should receive the 🏅Presidential Medal of Freedom 🏅 and I wholeheartedly agree.

When David Ruben asks Thomas Sowell why he abandoned Marxism to embracing the ideas of liberty, his answer was short & to the point.

Thomas Sowell | Spring of 1974
SOCIAL pathology has held an enduring fascination for researchers, and nowhere more so than in the study of black Americans. Isolated “successes” or “heroes” receive occasional attention, but large-scale or institutionalized progress ,and excellence seem almost to be shunned, except for passing references to the “middle-class” end results. With all the voluminous outpourings on black educational pathology, there has been an almost total neglect of one of the most remarkable black educational success stories: Dunbar High School.
