The rabid antisemitism on college campuses that has bubbled to the surface since October might have been outdone by two radical third-grade teachers in Brooklyn and a twisted version of “Wheels on the Bus” pulled from a communist website.
The New York Post somehow learned two elementary school teachers are teaching an anti-Israel song, “Wheels on the Tank,” to children at Public School 705, an arts and science school located in Prospect Heights. Continue reading
Two, one-two-three-four!
Ev’rybody’s talking ’bout

This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m
Thanks to a federal judge, two California teachers who oppose their district’s deceptive policy against parents are returning to work.
During school-wide training a couple of years ago, Rincon Middle School teachers Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West, a devout Catholic and Christian, respectively, were shocked to learn they would be required to keep their students’ gender identities a secret from the kids’ own parents, unless such a student gave them permission otherwise.

Olathe Northwest High School in Olathe, Kansas (Google Maps/screenshot)
“High School Satan Club” will now be included among the extracurricular offerings at Olathe Northwest High School in Kansas after the school district gave the greenlight for its creation.
The club’s approval comes amid growing opposition from other students and parents with concerns about kids being encouraged to worship Satan.
A petition to stop the club had garnered more than 7,800 signatures at the time of publishing. Continue reading
Children’s ‘growth mindset’, characters and attitudes to learning have little impact on how well they do at school, according to a new study.
Instead, researchers point to external factors such as school funding, pre-school placements and opportunities outside school as much more important in bringing about meaningful change. Continue reading
A Seattle high school with a recent history of activism is facing outrage from a parent after her 10th grader was marked wrong for saying only men have penises and only women get pregnant.
The parent and her student, who remained anonymous out of fear of backlash, said the answers were given on a true-false test in an Ethic Studies World History class at Chief Sealth International High School.
The student put that it is ‘true’ that only men have penises and only women can get pregnant on his ‘Understanding Gender vs. Sex’ quiz.
His mother claims the student failed the portion of the quiz as a result of his answers, which led her to speak out.
‘I keep trying to wrap my head around how it is legal to teach inaccurate information and force students to answer against their beliefs or receive negative scores,’ she said. Continue reading
The frequency of student absences in the United States has risen significantly compared to pre-pandemic levels, with high-poverty schools facing particularly alarming rates.
In a new study using 2021–22 school year data from the U.S. Department of Education and published by Attendance Works on Friday, it was revealed that nearly 30% of students — approximately 14.7 million — faced chronic absence, significantly affecting the learning experience for those who did attend school. Continue reading
Kirk Cameron has lately been traveling to public libraries across the country to counter drag queen story hours by reading kids his Christian books. In that journey, he says, he has realized there is more work to be done.
According to the former TV star, Scholastic, the company that has been providing books to kids since the ’40s and holding book fairs since the early ’80s, is responsible for many of the controversial and pornographic books that can now be found in many U.S. school libraries.
It has adopted a recurring pattern of sexualized content in recent years and last month pledged to “redouble” its efforts to “combat the laws restricting children’s access” to pornographic books.
“You really can’t get away from them if your kids are going to school,” he laments. “This stuff is pervasive. They’re not just a thousand-pound gorilla in the space of children’s books; they are children’s books.” Continue reading
Prior to the passage of Senate Bill 744 in the Oregon Legislative Assembly’s 2021 session, the state’s “Assessment of Essential Skills” requirement for high school graduation was sensible: “read and comprehend a variety of text, write clearly and accurately,” and “apply mathematics in a variety of settings.” Students were required to demonstrate these skills by “earning at or above a cut score on the Oregon Statewide Summative Assessment test.” Continue reading
Get your children OUT of the System – NOW
It seems like the public schools in Hillsborough County, Florida have been having problems similar to those experienced in Kanawha County, West Virginia public schools 49 years ago now. Considering the true agenda of the public education system in this country – indoctrination rather than education – should anyone really be surprised?
And it looks as if this has been going on for while. In an article published back in March of this year in the Tampa Bay Times it was noted that “This Book Is Gay” a non-fiction book that offers guidance to LGBTQ youth will no longer be available at any Hillsborough County middle school. Continue reading
My wife and I recently met with the principal of the school our daughter attends to discuss her education future.
My daughter, who turns 12 in a few days, wants to go to a different school in the fall, largely because many of her friends – who are a year ahead of her – are graduating to new schools. (And also because her teacher, whom she adored, took a job in a different district.)
When we stepped into the principal’s office, she offered us chairs. She was warm, knowledgeable, and helpful, and I got the feeling she knows my daughter and wants what is best for her. I suspect my daughter will return to the school for one more year, but it’s a conversation we’ll have together. Continue reading
There’s a lot of evidence that schools and students are more violent places after the pandemic. Getty images
The 2022-23 school year was a particularly violent year for educators.
In Florida, a high school student beat a paraprofessional unconscious. A 15-year-old in Georgia left her teacher with difficulty walking. And a group of students in Texas sent their assistant principal to the hospital after an assault.
Recent headlines suggest the 2023-24 school year may not be much different. Continue reading
Americans’ satisfaction with the quality of K-12 education in the U.S. has fallen six percentage points in the past year to match the record-low 36% reading on this measure, which Gallup has tracked for 24 years. In contrast, parents of K-12 students remain largely satisfied with the quality of the education their oldest child is receiving, as 76% say they are “completely” or “somewhat” satisfied, significantly higher than the 67% low on that measure from 2013. Continue reading
Socialism, in many varied forms, is presented to us as the panacea for all the world’s problems. Actually, it is the solution for none of them and a major contributor to most of them, but the socialists hope you never figure that out. If you did, you might be tempted to repudiate socialism, which they want you to embrace.
A major component of socialism in this country is the public school system. Those who have read Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto will recall that #10 of the list of planks Marx listed as part of the agenda for taking over a country was Free Education for all children in public (government) schools. Now admittedly, the content of the Manifesto was not original with Marx. He was hired to write the Manifesto for the League of the Just (Illuminati) so you can probably figure the ten points Marx listed in the Manifesto were Illuminist goals. Continue reading
Recently someone sent me a copy of the Whistleblower magazine, which is published by World Net Daily (580 E Street, P.0. Box 100, Hawthorne, Nevada 89415-0100). I’d heard of this magazine but never seen it until now. The copy I was sent was the April, 2023 issue and all of it dealt with what goes on in public schools today and none of it is fun reading by any means. But then, what goes on in government schools in our day is not exactly fun reading either–not fun, but necessary to know. Continue reading
I recently got a tract from Frontline Ministries in Columbia, South Carolina that dealt with Christian pastors ignoring what goes on in government schools. The author of the tract, E. Ray Moore, Th. M. noted some interesting statistics regarding the attitudes of many Christian pastors regarding the mushrooming anti-Christian bias in what passes for education in public (government) schools. This is something I have noted in evangelical circles for almost five decades now. Many evangelicals, pastors included, if given their choice, will defend public education rather than expose its evils. Then they wonder why they have problems with their kids who went to public schools! Continue reading
“Every day in communities across the United States, children and adolescents spend the majority of their waking hours in schools that have increasingly come to resemble places of detention more than places of learning.” ~ Investigative journalist Annette Fuentes
This is what it means to go back-to-school in America today.
Instead of being taught the three R’s of education (reading, writing and arithmetic), young people are being drilled in the three I’s of life in the American police state: indoctrination, intimidation and intolerance. Continue reading
Protesters gather at the State Capitol in Salem, Oregon, on February 18, 2019, calling for education funding during the “March for Our Students” rally.
Soon after Annie Phan started teaching at a small San Francisco public high school in 2017, she realized Stanford’s teacher education program had not prepared her for the moral and ethical complexities she would face. Many students are low-income, with an chronic absenteeism rate of about 40 percent, and the school itself has few resources (like counselors) to compensate. Continue reading
China is funding America’s public schools to the tune of $17 million dollars, it has been revealed, with Republicans now probing the disturbing donations.
The report by Parents Defending Education states that the close coordination between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and U.S. schools to establish Confucius Classrooms has historically included 143 school districts in 34 states and Washington, D.C. Continue reading
The state superintendent of public schools in Oklahoma unapologetically says there is no better history book than the Bible because there is another “state religion” called atheism competing for the minds of children in the classroom.
Ryan Walters, a former history teacher, intends for his state’s students to have that knowledge despite hair-pulling panic from the Far Left over his actions.
His anti-woke stance that has made some people uncomfortable: The Oklahoman, the largest newspaper in the state, calls him a “polarizing figure in state politics.” Continue reading
Get your children OUT of the System – NOW
A recent article by Andrea Widburg on the American Thnker should have been quite illuminating for those with children still unfortunate enough to be in public schools. Though I disagreed a little with Widburg’s timeframe, her take on public schools and the National Education Association were right on target. Continue reading
