Schools should be required to teach his theories rather then stuff like critical race theory I'm not holding my breath on that happening

Just heard that one today. Thomas Sowell is an American treasure and one of the greatest thinkers of the last two generations.

I hope he has a very happy Birthday! He is a very wish and well-educated man, and we need many more like him.

I tell people, instead of sending your kids to an elite university, get them Dr Sowell’s books. You’ll save a couple of hundred thousand and your kids will have a better education.

Oh come on. Get out of here with that. Sowell was never a never Trumper. Thomas Sowell is a classic, deep intellectual so of course was put off by Trump's rhetoric, but he voted for him...twice. He looked at the empirical evidence and made the choice that Trump was better than both Hillary and Biden. Again, he is not a never Trumper.
