Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"Always ready to inveigh against the Last Son of Krypton, always ready with long arguments laying out why he was dumb. What can I say?" Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
Diaz, a native of the Dominican Republic who teaches creative writing, should have "fallen hard for Superman," as someone in a country that spoke English, while living with a Spanish-speaking family in an apartment. Maintaining three identities, Diaz feels that Superman does not represent him, although the superhero shares a similar experience to immigrants in America. Joining Fox News Digital in 2019, he previously graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Political Science and is an alum of the National Journalism Center and the Heritage Foundation's Young Leaders Program.
