WESTERN CIVILIZATION HAS BEEN undergoing as dramatic a shift in its ways of thinking and living as at any point in history. Many describe this turned corner as the rise of postmodernism, which is replacing modernism as the contemporary worldview.

The resolution,   which was first reported on Twitter   on Wednesday by TIME's Zeke Miller, was quickly denounced by a Democratic National Committee spoke
