O’Sullivan’s First Law — named after former National Review editor John O’Sullivan, a one-time speechwriter for then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher — states that any institution that’s not explicitly right-wing will become left-wing over time.

The Walton Family Foundation has proved to be a prime example of that rule. For the past decade or more, second- and third-generation heirs of the Walmart fortune have funneled millions of dollars into LGBTQ+ initiatives in their home state of Arkansas.

But the recent decision of a Walton-funded institution suggests the foundation might be pumping the brakes on its slide into woke extremism.
