An Entire Generation. Almost

At this point, I’m very thankful that my children being in private school means that although they’ll have their own problems as a result of the perpetual masking, ever-presence of plexiglass, and an environment where distancing is fairly rigorously adhered to, they won’t be part of the generation left behind.

A Mystery

And people somehow think it’s some kind of mystery that people question the intelligence within the ivory tower. Zero Hedge: Participants decided that Churchill was “the perfect embodiment of white supremacy”, and labelled the British Empire ‘morally poorer than the Third Reich’. The academics involved agreed that it is a “problematic narrative” that Britain was […]

Just Remember….

It’s For The Children™️. Reason: Another day, another set of parents who discovered at the last minute that the planned reopening of their kids’ long-shuttered elementary schools was being thwarted by a politically powerful teachers union. This time it was in the wealthy, New York City-adjacent suburb of Montclair, New Jersey, where Superintendent Jonathan Ponds […]

Oh, JFC

Sure. Whatever you say, buddy. Campus Reform: University of Rhode Island and Director of Graduate Studies Erik Loomis recently claimed “science, statistics and technology” are racist. “Science, statistics, and technology are all inherently racist because they are developed by racists who live in a racist society, whether they identify as racists or not[.]” How is […]

Yes, All Of Them.

Fire every last one of them. Greg Polowitz on Twitchy: Members of the Chicago Teachers Union voted overwhelmingly on Sunday to continue teaching from home as the city planned to begin in-person education on Monday[.] They‘re full of shit. Schools are safe, and we’ve known it for several months. Kids are in real trouble because […]

Beyond Parody

Zero tolerance policies and the nomenclature used to enforce them belong in The Onion: Ten-year-old Nathan Entingh doesn’t understand why he got suspended from school for three days. According to his father, Paul Entingh, one moment the boy was “goofing off” with his friends in fifth-grade science class, and the next the teacher was taking […]

“Dear beautiful America, please, stop moving Forward.” I now live in Northern California, in the heart of the Bay Area, thousands of miles away from my homeland. And yet the poison of Soviet propaganda seeps through college dorms just as it did in Soviet classrooms. Stop a random youth on the street and you’ll find […]

Student Loans: A Bad Deal

More evidence of the obvious: that pumping in billions of free and cheap money in to higher education is directly responsible for both the massive collective student debt of over $1T, as well as for the constant rise in tuition rates that are far above inflation. As combined student loan debts balloon to over $1 […]

Reason 1,254,996

Schools suspending students for “being involved with an incident” including a firearm. When said student was “guilty” of wrestling away a gun from a student who had it pointed at the head of another. The Blaze: A Florida high school student wrestled a loaded gun away from another teen on the bus ride home this […]

Reason 1,254,995

Schools criminalizing behaving like a child. It used to be that getting in a schoolyard fight meant a trip to the principal’s office—detention, maybe. But in Florida, more than any other state, that schoolyard fight can lead to the student’s arrest and even felony charges. Last year 12,000 students were arrested 13,870 times in Florida […]
