“First They Came…”

It is hard to imagine what is happening in many American Jewish communities right now. Overt persecution and even violence have become such a part of Jewish life that business owners, college students, and even entire families are having to resort to disguising their Jewish identity as they try to live their day-to-day lives.

Parents, You Must Teach History

The past few years have seen an ever-increasing effort to rewrite American history according to the social justice ideology of “presentism.” This approach asserts that history should not be viewed according to what was happening at the time of the event or movement but instead through a prism of current-day issues of race, gender, sexuality, and nationalism.

The Absurd New Paradigms of Transgender Ideologies

If trying to keep up with the latest terms and definitions of modern “wokeness” gives you a headache, it is time to reach for the Tylenol. Transgender ideology has not only its own vocabulary but its own meandering rationales, depending on the criticisms to which it might be responding.

America Needs a Restoration

Only in America could the son of a Cuban immigrant who came to this great country with practically nothing and unable to speak the language be elected to the U.S. Senate and be an ex-candidate for the presidency of the United States.

Critical Race Theory

WARNING: Critical Race Theory!

Critical Race Theory, or “Critical Theory,” has been visibly at the forefront of leftist indoctrination in the United States for the past decade. Originating in Germany in the 1930s, Critical Theory was primarily limited to the halls of academia in this country until it morphed into Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the 1970s. Since then, it has made its way into colleges and universities, federal agencies, and public schools.

Chinese Communist Tactics in the Workplace

Reminiscent of the Chinese Communist “struggle sessions” in the era of Chairman Mao, where citizens were publicly humiliated and forced to apologize for any perceived offenses to the regime, American CEOs and other organizational leaders are implementing programs that sound eerily similar.

NEA’s Plan to Indoctrinate Schoolchildren

If you want to stay on top of what’s going on in schools, watch the policies adopted by the National Education Association (NEA) which attracts nearly 10,000 delegates to its annual convention over the Fourth of July weekend. The NEA’s 3 million members include most of the nation’s public school teachers, who fund its half-billion dollar budget with their mandatory union dues.

What Students Learn and Don’t Learn

If you are attending college to get teacher certification, you will probably be required to attend classes on “multicultural education.” This is supposed to bring diversity to the classroom and prepare teachers to teach pupils of various ethnic or national backgrounds.

Un-American American History Courses

Arizona’s new law that requires the police to ask people to show ID, which was just knocked out by a supremacist judge, may not be the most controversial Arizona law about illegal aliens. Governor Jan Brewer signed another law this year that bans schools from teaching classes designed to promote solidarity among students of a particular ethnic group.

Dangerous Projects in Public Schools

President Barack Obama’s budget has added more than $100 billion of federal taxpayers’ money to what is called “education,” so that means it will be spent by alumni of the Saul Alinsky school of radical community organizing and/or the Chicago Democratic machine.

Why Kids Don’t Do Well in School

Let me share with you an interesting article from the Washington Post about the teacher of an all-black class in a high school in Alexandria, Virginia, who expressed his frustration at how poorly the students were performing. The class included both native-born African-Americans and kids who had immigrated from Africa.

Obama’s ‘New World Order’

Under the subterfuge of helping the economy, Barack Obama’s Stimulus legislates vast new spending programs to finance liberal policy goals that are unnecessary and undesirable. The flow of taxpayers’ money will be so gargantuan as to make Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society expansion of the welfare state look puny. Obama’s massive makeover of American government and society amounts to a second 9/11.

How a Community Organizer Became President

On August 31, 2008, right after the Democratic National Convention in Colorado, the Boston Globe published a letter from L. David Alinsky boasting about how Barack Obama had made enormously effective use of his training in the methods of David’s late father, the famous Chicago radical, Saul D. Alinsky.

We Must Educate Leaders To Be Conservatives

Conservatives face a major political challenge, but they can tackle and overcome it as they have done three times before. Three prior examples demonstrate the right way and the wrong ways to put America back on track and bounce back from a disappointing election.

Teaching "Social Justice" in Schools

Many voters didn’t think it important when it surfaced during the presidential campaign that Barack Obama’s friend, the 1960s radical William Ayers, is now a professor of education at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Ayers’s preoccupation with inserting his ideas of “social justice” into public school curriculum didn’t seem an issue to make tracks in a national election.

Bill Ayers’s Scary Plans for Public Schools

Ayers is a friend of Obama, and Professor Ayers’s expertise is training teachers and developing public school curriculum. That’s been his mission since he gave up planting bombs in government buildings (including the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon) and assaulting police officers.

What College Tuition and Fees Are Paying For!

What’s Wrong With Outcome-Based Education?

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is sweeping the country in the name of school “restructuring.” OBE calls for a complete change in the way children are taught, graded and graduated, kindergarten through 12th grade. Since the American people seem ready to accept drastic surgery on our failed public schools, state departments of education are seizing this opportunity to force acceptance of OBE as the cure.
