The most recent edition of ‘Pride in America’ is only the second in the series to honor an individual whose name is not widely recognized: political scientist Charles Murray, PhD. Dr. Murray has written several books and articles on socio-political topics, including Losing Ground and Coming Apart.
Ron Nate, who wrote this ‘Pride in America’ article, explains, “Here’s what makes Murray an American hero: Continually pursuing the truth, Murray simply “follows the science.” He is unafraid to report what the data indicate and what they mean for the well-being of people affected by public policy…The cancel culture desperately wants to “cancel” Charles Murray, but he exhibits grace and courage under fire. America needs to listen to scholars and scientists like Charles Murray — for the benefit and well-being of the most disadvantaged Americans. Bad policy deserves bad press. Murray is an honest scholar who does his work, despite the leftist mobs, because he cares about truth and people more than he does about praise and acclaim.”
The ‘Pride in America’ series is the Idaho Freedom Foundation’s month-long celebration of individuals “who ha[ve] demonstrated and defended American values.” Since June 1, the series has recognized people as diverse as explorer Davy Crockett, entrepreneur Elon Musk, saleswoman Nancy Green, and athlete Riley Gaines.
