The Meese Commission on Pornography (1986), and the Birth of the Modern Day Culture War


U.S. President Donald Trump recently presented the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to Edwin Meese III, former top aide to U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
In the eyes of many, awarding Meese the honor was a highly controversial decision. While he’d served the government – first acting as assistant and chief of staff when Reagan was governor of California, then becoming a top Cabinet official and finally attorney general when Reagan was president – his service came under scrutiny for ethics violations.
