About Me

My photo
RKirk
I've been engaged in culture criticism as a prep-school ethics and philosophy teacher from 1984 to 2003--and as a freelance writer since 1989. My articles appeared regularly in (San Diego's) North County Times from 1996-2012 and in UT San Diego's Californian from 2012-2013. Several book reviews are in the archives of The American Spectator online. I've also had reviews published in The American Enterprise, Touchstone, and First Things. My column "Hating Dr. Laura" was read, enthusiastically, by Dr. Laura and later published on World Net Daily. My review of Ann Coulter's "Adios America" is here (extended version) and also archived in "American Thinker." I write to help people combat the regnant moral misconceptions of our era.
