Another Immigration Loophole: 245(i)
The watchword of the Bush Administration’s education reform is accountability. To receive federal funds, everyone in education must be accountable: teachers, students and schools. But whatever happened to accountability when it comes to border security and the admission of aliens to the United States?

The feminist movement, which flowered in the 1970s, persuaded young women to opt for a career in “a man’s world,” and whether they ended up with or without a child, they don’t relish suggestions that they were mistaken in their priorities.

Now we are told, belatedly, that the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center could have been detected beforehand. FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III has admitted that mistakes were made, the “dots should have been connected,” situations should have been handled differently, and “different actions should have been taken.”

The Florida Parent-Educators Association has grown from a handful of parents 15 years ago to a three-day convention with 100 workshops, 131 booths selling curricula and software, high school graduation ceremonies, and a college scholarship to Harvard.

Congress and the Bush Administration should clamp down on the federal bureaucracies that are trying to turn America into a bilingual nation. Various departments are not only doing this but are punishing people and businesses who don’t cave in to their high-handed demands, even when not authorized by any law.

Rumblings are leaking out of Washington that Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joseph Biden (D-DE) and the Clinton holdovers in the State Department are conspiring to resuscitate the long-moribund United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

We are also beginning to hear more frequently about “dual citizenship,” but that phrase is an oxymoron. One cannot truly be a citizen of two different countries because ultimately loyalty cannot be divided.

Asbestos litigation has spun so far out of control that the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal directly from an intermediate state court.

Zero tolerance has become ridiculous when applied to little boys playing cops and robbers or drawing pictures of guns, but it’s sound and sensible when applied to illegal drugs.

Bush announced that he wants to ban human cloning, i.e., creating human embryos that are genetic replicas of adults.

The Senate Judiciary Committee’s 10-9 partisan defeat of President Bush’s nomination of Charles Pickering contains lasting lessons for Republicans, conservatives, and all those who want to stop judicial activism and limit the imperial judiciary to its constitutional role.

The Bush Administration just took a welcome step to disentangle the United States from the global legacy of the late, unlamented Clinton Administration.

The INS didn’t learn any lessons from its embarrassing approval of student visas for the two dead terrorists who flew the planes into the World Trade towers on September 11.

State governments and the federal courts are separately assuming the power to forcibly drug American citizens.

The federal government says it lacks funding for much-needed research about the alarming increase in autism, asthma, diabetes and other serious childhood conditions. Now we know where scarce research money goes: to fund gun-control propaganda.

DACOWITS has demanded that women be assigned to submarines, to the crews of Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (the vehicles that launch rockets during land-combat operations), to the helicopter crews of Special Operations units such as the Army Rangers, and even to land combat units that directly engage the enemy.

Public School Isn't Like I Remember It
Public schools seem to be obsessed with requiring students to fill out nosy questionnaires. The latest outrage, entitled “How Am I?”, asked 55 intrusive questions of New Jersey 7th and 8th graders.

It’s time to realize that the term limits movement itself has limits. It works well for the president, governors, state legislators, and even congressional chairmanships, where the trappings of power become irresistible.

Behind frequent protestations by public officials about local control of the schools, a federal curriculum has been quietly imposed by law.

How the subject of evolution is treated in the classroom has emerged again as a source of controversy, this time in the Ohio State Board of Education. Until now, Ohio public schools have not mandated any direct teaching about the subject.

Having had to retreat from legislative attempts to establish a national ID card through Social Security numbers or unique health care identifiers, Congress seems to be trying a new tack to implement this wholly un-American idea.

One of the unintended consequences of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 was the dashing of feminist hopes to make America a gender-neutral or androgynous society. New York City’s fireMEN dared to charge up the stairs of the burning Twin Towers, and the firefighters’ death tally was: men 343, women 0.

Those who cross our border today are not becoming full participants in American society and do not learn our language.
