Welcome to Decorum, an opinion site that seeks to elevate smart, civil debate above noisy partisanship.
Most of Decorum’s regular contributors have backgrounds in academe, law, public policy, and journalism—realms in which the twenty-first-century culture wars have taken their greatest toll. We believe that the progress of civil society rests on the right of citizens to speak freely, and to dissent. We take as self-evident that it is possible, indeed desirable, to agree to disagree.
We think, above all, that the sine qua non of any serious writers’ room is respect for the intelligence and judgment of readers.
Please subscribe to Decorum and recommend it to others.
We’re delighted to have you onboard.
