A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Here is a great headline this week in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: “School librarians in Missouri pull books as new law allows charges for ‘explicit’ material”. As the article explains, “The law goes into effect Aug. 28 and applies to both public and private schools.

Pot Boils Over

How bad is the marijuana problem? Bad enough that a doctor of geriatrics recently emailed his patients this advisory: “Daily use of marijuana not a good idea.” Who knew that the golden years were so high?

Are Pants a Constitutional Right?

Charter schools offer the promise of choice in education, but since these schools are funded by taxpayer money, then these schools can never be independent. In North Carolina, the Charter Day School lost a lawsuit (Peltier v. Charter Day School) about their dress code, because the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the school is a “state actor” and requiring girls to wear skirts violates both the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution and Title IX.

Four Tions for Our Nation

Abortion, Education, Immigration, Inflation. Use these four issues in your community to effect change this year. 2022 is an opportunity for conservatives to stop the madness that is destroying America. We need all hands on deck this year!

Teacher Grading

Work Less and Get Good Grades

In high school, I was a terrible speller. Spelling seemed unimportant and I was able to pass classes without having to spell correctly. Then in my first year in college, one professor docked my grade for every misspelled word. I quickly learned how to spell.

How Silly is Equity?

In a centrally planned economy, all outcomes are the same and consumer demand is meaningless. You want two-ply toilet paper? Sorry, this month we only produced one-ply. Even though the principles of capitalism are obvious, even capitalists are tempted to join the communists and proclaim their belief in equality of outcomes.

Light Years Ahead of Her Time

Today, I honor my mother for her extraordinary strength and intellect. But I also am grateful that because of her foresight and advocacy, I have a large supply of 100-watt incandescent light bulbs in my basement. My home will continue to be illuminated by this warm glow for many years.

Join a Union for Free Pot!

Union membership has been declining for decades (with the notable exceptions of teachers’ unions and government unions). Union bosses realize that they must hook new, young members. Union dues are vitally important to funding the Democrat party and for pushing Leftist causes.

Stop the Trans Wreck

In 1985, I attended the United Nations World Conference on Women in Nairobi, Kenya. The most pressing issue at that conference was the genital mutilation of girls. I was stunned at how many attendees defended the practice of female genital cutting on the basis of cultural norms and personal ideology.

We Need More Parent Outrage

Several contested races for school board were decided in my community this week. We were very optimistic that we were riding a wave of parent outrage that we had seen expressed in Loudoun County, Virginia, and San Francisco, when entrenched school board members were ousted by the voters. In the greater Saint Louis area, we had some wins and, unfortunately for the students, we had some losses.

We are all Potheads Now

The majority of states now allow some form of legalized marijuana. On the federal level, Sen. Charles Schumer is pushing to void the laws against marijuana and expunge criminal convictions. The public seems to have accepted the use of pot.

Vice is Not Nice

“Legalize it and tax it” is an argument that many well-meaning Americans have advocated. In other words, people will use illegal substances anyway, so why not let government get its share of the revenues?

Back to the Future: an ERA Update

ERA is not about rights for women. The push for ERA today is a push for the elimination of any rights for women. If ERA were ever to be in our Constitution, women and girls would be erased and America would have no distinction — ever — on the basis of biological sex. In a sex-neutral society, the vulnerable women and girls are the ones who lose.
