Get Your Children OUT of the Public School System!

Yes, Virginia, Critical Race Theory is in Your Schools—and in Schools Across America
As parental concern mounted over racial indoctrination in local schools during the recent Virginia gubernatorial race, a mantra emerged from the Democrat camp and the media: Critical Race Theory had “never been taught” in Virginia schools. That’s from then-Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe, who in case anyone missed the point, added that the concerns about CRT were nothing but a “racist dog whistle.” The media agreed. Critical Race Theory is “not part of classroom teaching in Virginia,” reported the New York Times. Axios managing editor Margaret Talev said on CNN’s “Inside Politics, “let’s just say for the record in case anyone doesn’t know, they don’t teach Critical Race Theory to kids in kids’ K-12 schools… (Continue to full article)

Texas school district uses armed agents to arrest parents in their own homes
The Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD) in Texas is using force against parents who speak out against its policies by using its own armed agents to arrest them.

“The battle lines are clear: on one side, the Biden administration, public school bureaucrats, and their armed agents; on the other, parents and families who oppose school closures, mask mandates, critical race theory, and corruption.”

“Public school officials have demonstrated a willingness to use police power to silence and intimidate their opponents.”… (Continue to full article)

Federal investigators launch civil rights probe into Southlake, Texas, schools
Southlake, a diversifying suburb, has been at the center of a growing political battle over the ways schools address issues of race, gender and sexuality.

The U.S. Education Department’s civil rights enforcement arm is investigating allegations of discrimination at the Carroll Independent School District in Southlake, Texas, the agency and the school district confirmed Wednesday.

The department’s Office for Civil Rights notified the suburban school district’s officials last week that it had opened three investigations into complaints about discrimination against students based on their race, gender and national origin. The agency declined to provide details on the allegations and doesn’t comment on pending investigations… (Continue to full article)

School Boards Gone Rogue
Who would have ever thought, just a few years ago, that our local school boards would turn into tyrants trying to crush us underfoot? School boards!

Who would have ever thought a school board president—and his father, for crying out loud!—would go around stalking parents who objected to a school board policy, collecting private information on them and making it publicly accessible? What kind of personal information? Social Security numbers! They won’t have time to protest anything, once the scam artists see those SSNs. Oh—and also divorces, finances, and even family trees. Mr. President and his father even went so far as to hire private detectives to dig up more dirt on dissenting parents. You won’t object to our board policies and get away with it!!!

Texas School Says It Will Bring Back Paddling To Discipline Misbehaving Kids
Parents have their own ways of disciplining their kids. And once they are inside the school premises, teachers also have their own technique on how to make sure that the students follow the rules. But this does not involve physical punishment.

For teachers, discipline can be a difficult concept to teach. Some teachers believe that this part should be left to the parents. Well, not so for a certain school in Texas. Apparently, the school has been having a problem with misbehaving students. After all their efforts, they believe that it’s time to adopt an old-fashioned approach – corporal punishment… (Continue to full article)

We’re Taught to Revere Schoolteachers. So Why Are They Paid So Little?
Top professional athletes regularly sign multi-million dollar contracts, with signing bonuses and lucrative product promotion deals.

Why do professional athletes make so much more money than, say, professional teachers? Do people really value sports more than they value education? Teachers provide a service that is generally accepted as contributing real value to the development of society. Some people view sports, however, as superfluous. They think of it as something that society could function well without. It doesn’t seem to make sense that work deemed important by most people could be valued far less than that which may be unnecessary or seen as frivolous to many.

This is similar to a paradox of old… (Continue to full article)

How Governments Seized Control of Money

In discussions surrounding of the world’s monetary systems today there is usually one thing almost everyone can agree on: that money should be controlled by the organizations we call “states” or “sovereign states.” Nowadays when we say “the US dollar” we mean the currency issued by the US government. When we say “the British pound” we mean the money issued by the regime of the United Kingdom.

This assumed need to have state-issued money has not always been the reality, of course. Indeed, the history of the rise of the state is a history replete with efforts by states to replace private-sector money with state-controlled money. Continue reading

School Board Tyranny ~ Part 3

I believe the icing on the cake is the Biden administration’s weaponizing his DOJ to attack parents with the threat of ‘domestic terrorism’ charges if they continue to oppose the tactics of school boards to indoctrinate our kids into the homosexual lifestyle and the critical race theory. The debate between Attorney General Garland and Senatore Tom Cotton,[1] Senator Ted Cruz,[2] and Senator Josh Hawly[3] should have every American scratching their heads as to the character of Garland. They are also thanking God that he didn’t make it to the Supreme Court. He is as uninformed as Biden is. He didn’t know about the letter his department-issued. Was not aware of any violence by the parents towards the school boards, ignored the actual physical violence by the school boards security against the parents. Continue reading

During the 1910s, relations between Mexico and the United States were often troubled. . In 1912, U.S. President William Howard Taft considered sending an expeditionary force to protect foreign-owned property from damage during the Mexican Revolution that was taking place. Continue reading

Proposals Relating to the Education of Youth in Pensilvania

Advertisement to the Reader.

Author, Benjamin Franklin, 1749

It has long been regretted as a Misfortune to the Youth of this Province, that we have no ACADEMY, in which they might receive the Accomplishments of a regular Education.

The following Paper of Hints towards forming a Plan for that Purpose, is so far approv’d by some publick-spirited Gentlemen, to whom it has been privately communicated, that they have directed a Number of Copies to be made by the Press, and properly distributed, in order to obtain the Sentiments and Advice of Men of Learning, Understanding, and Experience in these Matters; and have determin’d to use their Interest and best Endeavours, to have the Scheme, when compleated, carried gradually into Execution; in which they have Reason to believe they shall have the hearty Concurrence and Assistance of many who are Wellwishers to their Country.

Anghis: School Board Tyranny – Part 2

One of the most amazing things that some school boards are doing is allowing graphic homosexual books in the library that kids can check out. These books have illustrations of homosexual acts and even talk about gang rape. One school took it up a notch and took elementary school children to a gay bar! Public schools attempting to indoctrinate children with woke ideologies have been a problem for years. But Broward County, Florida, is reportedly taking things to a whole new level of crudity.

On Wednesday, Broward County school board member Sarah Leonardi tweeted pictures of a field trip she took Wilton Manors Elementary students on. The problem was the destination of the field trip was a gay bar.

“I was SO honored to be invited to chaperone @WiltonManorsES’s field trip to the incredible Rosie’s!” she wrote. “The students and I had a fun walk over and learned a lot about our community!”

In one picture, young students in masks can be seen outside the bar with three adults. Another image shows the young children sitting at tables inside the gay bar. Continue reading

Betsy Ross’s husband’s diary turned up in a garage. Here’s what it tells us about the flagmaker

An image of the diary of John Claypoole, third husband of Betsy Ross (DAVID EDGE/David Edge)

It began with an unmarked, unremarkable box tucked in a corner of a garage in California. Inside, under miscellaneous letters and old high school yearbooks, was a smaller shoe box. Inside that, under old coins and a numismatist pamphlet, lay the 240-year-old diary of sailor John Claypoole, a Revolutionary War prisoner of war and later the third husband of the flagmaker known as Betsy Ross.

Kids at School Are Asked to Give Details of Their “Sex Lives

A new county youth survey in Fairfax County, Virginia, will ask kids as young as 12 years old whether they have ever had sex, how old they were at the time, and how many persons they have had sexual intercourse with.

According to WJLA, the 2021 Fairfax County Youth Survey will be a cooperation between Fairfax County Government and Fairfax County Public Schools. It will survey students in the eighth, tenth, and twelfth grades. The survey is voluntary and anonymous. Continue reading

Anghis: School Board Tyranny – Part 1

We are seeing something in America that we have never seen on such a scale before. Our leftist so-called ‘educators have taken a page out of Lenin’s playbook and decided that it is only the school board that has the right to decide what children in public schools are taught and that parents have no right to any input at all. Terry McAuliffe has even stated that parents have no right to input into what their kids are taught. In the Virginia gubernatorial debate on Tuesday evening, Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe insisted that parents should have no role in directing the education of their children and doubled down in a subsequent media interview. Continue reading

Whus happnin’ at skoo???

White Males Are Bailing on College
This exclusive interview with the collective that runs the Doomberg Substack explains why they think oil could hit $300 and uranium could “double or triple”And why wouldn’t they? They are Public Enemy Number One on most campuses.

In the future, a young man might come home from the factory, grab a beer, and watch the classic frat house comedy “Animal House,” wondering to himself, “I thought college was just for women.”

That’s an exaggeration, but the numbers don’t lie: Fewer men are attending colleges and universities, pushing aside opportunities to stroll across the campus green in favor of trade schools or good old-fashioned work… (Continue to full article)

Grading Is Racist “White Language Supremacy” Says Arizona State Professor
Arizona State Professor Asao B. Inoue coined the term HOWL “Habits of White Language” and proposes a new model to grade students’ work.

White language supremacy in writing classrooms is due to the uneven and diverse linguistic legacies that everyone inherits, and the racialized white discourses that are used as standards, which give privilege to those students who embody those habits of white language already… (Continue to full article)

Against Masking Our Children: My Experience with a Local School Board
Masking in general is an abomination, but masking schoolchildren is particularly egregious. Given the ideologic challenges at the federal and, often, state level, it is at the local level where we may be most successful at exerting influence regarding COVID policies.

It is through such grassroots activism that we may preserve our rapidly deteriorating nation or, at least, create safe zones or “sanctuaries.” In the wake of the turmoil surrounding the Loudoun County (Virginia) school board and elsewhere, I, thus, share my experience with my local school board on the matter of masks… (Continue to full article)

Black dad says CRT is ‘fanning the flames of what little embers are left’ of racism in US and gets Colorado school board to ban it
A Colorado Springs school district banned critical race theory after a black father claimed racism in America would ‘by and large be dead’ if not for institutions and schools ‘keeping it on life support.’

‘I am a direct descendant of the North American slave trade. Both my parents are black. All four of my grandparents are black, all eight of my great grandparents, and all 16 of my great greats. On my mother’s side, my ancestors were enslaved in Alabama. On my father’s side, we were enslaved in Texas.’

‘I’m not oppressed and I’m not a victim,’… (Continue to full article)

Public Education: Factories Producing Compliant Global Village Idiots

As innocent children come into the world, their minds are a clean slate, ready to listen, absorb and learn. They trust and follow those that have been assigned the task of leading them to knowledge. For decades, that same innocent trust has been accepted by the parents to feel confident that the American education system is designed to teach basic academic knowledge to their children, while it’s up to the parents to provide love, family values, and moral integrity. Continue reading

What Role Do Parents Play in Education?

The Left is increasingly fighting parents who don’t want their children indoctrinated.

Dear parents: Thank you for sending your child to school. Now stay out of their education. It’s none of your business.

This sums up the attitude of many school boards these days. They don’t want any disagreement about the radical agenda they’re pushing on students across America.

This isn’t a new problem. Leftists have used education to burrow into the center of our culture and rot it from within for many decades. But now they’re openly admitting what they’re doing and telling the rest of us to stay out of the discussion. Continue reading

Teachers Unions Threaten CDC

Then they claim conservatives are the ones exploiting kids in the culture wars.

School-aged children have long been unwitting pawns in the game of politics. After all, if you can influence the thinking of impressionable children, you can control the culture. Teachers unions are very aware of this fact and have undue influence over spreading pertinent culture issues with a leftist bent.

Back on May 13, when the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was issuing guidance for vaccinated Americans and masking, the National Education Association (NEA) sent a threatening email criticizing the CDC for not specifically outlining guidelines for school safety and warning that it would make its scathing remarks public. Continue reading

Four Americans Say ENOUGH is ENOUGH and Sue Oppressive School

Liberal teachers are refusing to listen to parents and are moving forward with their plans to teach Critical Race Theory. So parents have been showing up at School Board Meetings letting schools know that they don’t want their kids taught the racially divisive theory. But now one school in Pennsylvania is claiming parents don’t have a right to freely express themselves. So four parents are suing Bucks County’s Pennsbury School District and trying to set a precedent ensuring parents across the nation maintain their free speech in schools. Continue reading

The Demoralization of the American Teacher

“Never, ever, think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.” ~ Charlie Munger

Photo by Mohammad Ali Dahaghin on Unsplash

Ten years ago, I showed up for my first day as a high school teacher. I had landed a job in the best school of what is often called a “destination district.” Still, I knew I was facing an uphill battle. Warnings abounded of an American public school system in decline. But I was undeterred. I had that youthful sense that education needed change and I was just the one to change it… Continue reading

1619 Project Author Says the Quiet Part Out Loud

Nikole Hannah-Jones admits her work is merely a narrative and a tool for political activism.

The danger in people “speaking their truth” is that the motives are typically to exploit victimhood for power. This is absolutely the case with Nikole Hannah-Jones’s 1619 Project. She admitted as much in her acceptance address for the Freedom of Speech Award given by the Roosevelt Institute.

Hannah-Jones admitted what she’s doing is activist journalism and the 1619 Project is “the narrative [that] allows for policy.” Continue reading

CALIFORNIA: Shocking Grade School Mandates Send Parents Over The Edge

The time is long past due to get caught up with that which I have been ignoring. ~ Editor

Parents in disagreement with California’s first-in-the-nation COVID-19 vaccine mandate for elementary students staged a protest on Monday at the state Capitol.

At this time the vaccine has only been approved for children aged 16 and older. (This has been updated since the original publication of this column. ~ Ed.) Continue reading
