-The February 2026 edition of Chronicles Magazine has an article by John Howting titled "Heritage Is Better-Off With Kevin Roberts—and Without the Malcontents." In case you had to guess, I am one of those malcontents. I was inclined to ignore this contribution, until I saw that Genevieve Wood, the Vice President of Development at the Heritage Foundation, tweeted a link to the article. Still, I thought it better to just let the issue go. That was, until Wood felt compelled to issue a clarification:
For those on this platform who don't know me, I want to be clear - I believe the Declaration of Independence and Constitution are foundational to American exceptionalism. I should have stated that before posting the article below which could suggest otherwise. Consider this a clarification and my bad.
Whenever I hear the phrase "My bad," I think of Cher Horowitz from Clueless. Maybe not the best pop culture reference for this post.
