2023.02.04 Video Podcast: Helter Skelter and the Cult
This is not one of my usual everything-and-the-kitchen-sink video podcasts; instead, it focuses very tightly on Critical Race Theory, gender theory, and our children.

Regarding schools, skip the courts and go for direct action
With schools failing because they’re substituting cultural Marxism for education, maybe voters will finally be willing to pull the plug on funding them. A few weeks ago, it was a big story when it emerged that the administrators at a very high-level academic high school (read: mostly Asian students) in

Understanding post-modernism’s role in shaping the Democrat party
There’s one simple trick to returning America to sanity: End post-modernism in academia. Do you Support the Constitution as written? Then you’re a white supremacist Believe in meritocracy? Then you’re a racist and misogynist Contest the left using schools to brainwash our kids? Then you’re a domestic terrorist Are you

VIDEO: The left wants your children
JP Sears is out with one of his best videos, this one looking at what’s going on in too many American classrooms. What makes this latest from JP Sears such a superb video is that, if you follow Libs of Tik Tok (now up to 1.2 million followers thanks to

Yale provides an insight into how today’s race hustlers think
Two Yale Law administrators coercing a student for a party invite that offended 8-9 students is a rare window into race-based leftism. A Yale law student who is part Cherokee and belongs to the Federalist Society invited people to a back-to-school party, calling his place a “trap house.” The school’s

Analyzing how progressivism destroys intellectual honesty
An eminent historian is so dedicated to leftism that, even after savaging the 1619 Project, he still can’t see that modern progressivism is our existential problem. “They may look and look, yet not see; they may listen and listen, yet not understand.” Mark 4:12. [This is a long post but,

The Obliteration of Standards in Pursuit of “Social Justice”
With their headlong, power-made rush to obliterate standards, progressives are destroying the people they purport to represent. Societies set standards for a host of reasons, though two are primary. First, standards, whether civil or legal, allow us to measure objective reality. For instance, the purpose of standards, such as school

It’s not just that wokeists are evil; they’re also terribly uninformed
As a North Carolina professor shows, wokeists aren’t merely evil (although they are very evil). They are also grossly ignorant. The University of North Carolina, a taxpayer-funded institution, teaches a course called “Global Whiteness.” That’s wrong right off the bat and illegal under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It’s hate-filled

Public school leftist indoctrination never stops
A random worksheet in an 8th-grade public school classroom highlights the non-stop leftist indoctrination our children receive in school. A friend of mine found himself in a public school 8th-grade classroom. The students had been doing a project that called upon them to identify what constitutes a hero. To help

The inevitable consequence of the Ivy Leagues’ racist admission standards
You can’t interfere with a meritocracy and expect the results still to have merit — but that’s what the stupidly woke Ivy Leagues are doing. This is a slightly older story that I’ve been meaning to write about for a long time; namely, the Ivy League’s attempt to deny admission

Thoughts from a public school commissioner
I’m on a short road trip. I had the pleasure on this trip of connecting with very dear friends. It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other, I wasn’t sure if I was walking into a Biden or Trump home. I’m happy to report that not only are my

Once upon a time, a primary school education meant something
Reviewing two textbooks from the 1880s, both of which covered the humanities, reminded me how far American education has fallen. In the 21st century, kids stay within the education world for longer than they ever have before in history. Most go through 12th grade, many go on to four or

I’m finding mystifying the left’s war on re-opening schools
Teachers’ unions do not want to re-open schools. I can think of some benefits for them from this stance, but mostly I think closed schools will hurt them. I can think of three short-term reasons for leftists, in the form of teachers’ unions, to wage war on public schools: 1.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proves why the American education system is broken
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is remarkably dumb but it’s not entirely her fault. She is the product of an education system that cultivate and rewards stupidity. Over the years, there have been two constant themes in my posts: First, that public K-12 schools are awful and, second, that we should withdraw every

MOVIE REVIEW: No Safe Spaces
No Safe Spaces skillfully, intelligently, and amusingly exposes the intellectual rot eating away at Free Speech in American higher education. Go see it! I went to see Adam Carolla’s and Dennis Prager’s No Safe Spaces this afternoon and I had just one problem with the movie: At a huge multiplex in
