I just can't get enough of Daniel Seligman's articles. I kept a subscription to Fortune for years just so I could read his work. He's part statistician, part economist and all curmudgeon. His most common themes are debunking common myths and shredding politically correct viewpoints. He started to write for Forbes a few years back and I've been able to read his stuff on their web site. You have to login and deal with their singing banner ads (I'm not kidding) but it's well worth it. His latest article, Mr. Diversity, attacks the proposition that students learn more in a racially diverse classroom. He responds "Really? They pick up calculus faster when their classmates have different skin colors? This is a breathtaking claim... Needless to say he pokes a few humrous holes in their arguement. You can find his previous work in the Forbes archive. I encourage you to find some time to read through a few of his columns.
