The most frequent question people pose to me is: What can I/we do to fight back against the nihilistic anti-American destruction of virtually all the country’s major institutions?

There is an answer.

The single best thing Americans can do to counter the left-wing attack on America—against its freedoms, its schools, its families, its children, its governmental institutions, its sports, its news and entertainment media, its medical establishment, the CIA, the FBI, the State Department, and the military—is to take their children out of America’s schools.

Other than in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), the vast majority of America’s elementary schools, high schools, colleges, and universities teach your child or grandchild almost nothing important; prematurely sexualize them, thereby robbing them of their innocence; and harm them intellectually and morally. They rarely teach them, for example, art or music because they are too busy teaching them race-centered hatred of whites, of America, and of America’s values.

Sending your children to most American schools is playing Russian roulette with their values—but unlike the gun in Russian roulette, which has a bullet in only one of its six chambers, the schools’ guns hold four or five bullets.

In many elementary schools, your child is taught that gender is chosen and that there is no difference between boys and girls (in a growing number of schools, the teachers are told not to call their students “boys and girls”); they are taught about masturbation; and many children from first grade on attend “Drag Queen Story Hour,” wherein an obvious man wearing women’s clothing, garish makeup, and a wig entertains them.

Given that all this is well-known, why do any non-left—meaning, liberal or conservative—parents send their children to American schools?

One reason is they are in denial. Many parents don’t want to know what their children are being taught and the consequent damage done to them. They don’t really believe schools will ruin their children, let alone their children’s relationship with them.

These parents should speak to any of the millions—yes, millions—of Americans whose children have contempt for America, for free speech, and for their parents as a result of attending an American college or even high school. I meet such people at every speech I give, and I speak to them regularly on my radio show. Ask these parents, if they could redo their lives, whether they would keep their child in school.

A second reason is they feel they have no choice. If they remove their child from the local public or private school (most private schools are just as committed to anti-American indoctrination over education as public schools), what will they do with their child? They often can’t find a local school that doesn’t harm their child. They can’t necessarily even rely on Christian or Jewish schools. Most of them are as “woke” as most secular schools. And if they do find a school that teaches rather than poisons, they may not be able to afford the tuition.

The only other option, then, is to homeschool one’s child. The problem is that many parents assume this is essentially impossible. For one thing, they assume that one of the parents would have to leave his or her work, which would mean a serious reduction in the family’s income. In addition, homeschooling strikes most people as simply too daunting a task, even if they could afford to take it on.

Neither fear is entirely justified. It’s true that, at least at the outset, a working parent may have to cut back from full-time work, and it’s true that no matter what the family’s financial condition, there are challenges to taking one’s children out of school and homeschooling them.

But given the low intellectual state of most American schools, the damage they do to young children’s innocence, and the anti-American, anti-white, anti-Western indoctrination in most schools, if you are a parent of school-age children, what is your choice?

Other than a) finding a good school that b) you can afford, you have no other choice. You are fooling yourself if you think the odds are that after attending American schools from kindergarten through college (not to mention through graduate school), your child will turn out well-educated, intellectually alive, rational, kind, happy, well-adjusted, grateful to be American, and respectful of you and your values.

While there are some wonderful young Americans who recently attended American schools, and there are some lost souls who were homeschooled, American schools are largely producing the following:

Poorly educated students. Ask your college son or daughter to diagram a sentence; identify Joseph Stalin, “The Gulag Archipelago,” or the Soviet Union; name the branches of the American government; identify—or just spell—Beethoven; date the Civil War; identify the Holocaust; and name which sentence is correct—“He gave the book to my friend and me” or “He gave the book to my friend and I.”

Angry young people. Why wouldn’t they be? First, they graduate college with a huge load of debt, having received almost nothing useful for their money. Second, if they are anything other than a white heterosexual Christian male, they have been taught to regard themselves as victims of oppression. Third, their future is so bleak they may not even have one: They are threatened with extinction by climate change.

The single best thing Americans can do to fight the left-wing destruction of the country is to withdraw from the “educational” system that is actively and deliberately miseducating them by the tens of millions. If millions of American parents did so, the country would turn around as fast as you could say “teachers unions.” If they don’t, their children will continue being used as guinea pigs in the left’s sick and dystopian experiment.

Written communication is becoming a lost art amongst our youth.

Autocorrect is a function of that. I'd like to think I'm an okay writer for being 38. Know I could do better. I'd honestly like to write something legitimately, but my mind races and bounces around too much as I'm sure many here have noticed. I'll go from A to Z in two lines and finish up with G five graphs later.

‘It Was Just Disbelief’: Parent Files Complaint Against Atlanta Elementary School After Learning the Principal Segregated Students Based on Race
Posted byBy Niara Savage | August 10, 2021 CommentsComments (0)
An Atlanta mom filed a federal complaint against her daughter’s Atlanta elementary school after she learned that the school was separating students on the basis of race.

In the discrimination complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, parent Kila Posey claims the principal at Mary Lin Elementary School, a K-5 school in the Atlanta Public Schools system, put a segregation policy in place because she thought it was best for all students. ...

Posey protested the policy when it was allegedly put into place by Principal Sharyn Briscoe last year. “First, it was just disbelief that I was having this conversation in 2020 with a person that looks just like me — a Black woman,” Posey said. “It’s segregating classrooms. You cannot segregate classrooms. You can’t do it.”

Posey, who is vice president of operations for the parent teacher association, according to the school website, first learned of the separation after she contacted Briscoe to request that her daughter be placed in a specific classroom with a certain teacher. Briscoe replied by saying that would not work because the teacher’s classroom wasn’t for Black students, Posey claims.

“She said that’s not one of the Black classes, and I immediately said, ‘What does that mean?’ I was confused. I asked for more clarification. I was like, ‘We have those in the school?’ And she proceeded to say, ‘Yes. I have decided that I’m going to place all of the Black students in two classes,’” Posey said.

According to Shields, “Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 says that you cannot treat one group of people differently based upon race, and that is what is going on at Mary Lin.”

Teachers like this are the ones your children need, but you won't find them pretty soon in our nation's woke public schools.

Watch teacher Laura Morris resign at a board meeting in Loudoun County, Virginia, a district that has drawn national attention over its attempts to silence and bully dissenting students, faculty, and parents who disagree with its woke crusade.

"I encourage all parents and staff in this county to flood the private schools."

It's official. Our daughter will start private school this year. And the public school she went to last year was better than most. Public schools have just fucked up too many times, and for many of us, this plandemic was the last straw.

https://notthebee.com/article/over-5000-teachers-have-signed-a-pledge-that-they-will-teach-crt-where-banned-by-law

The 5,000+ teachers who have signed the pledge are true believers. They think CRT is so important that they are willing to make it a hill to die on.

That should (hopefully) tell you how important the fight is to ban this garbage ideology from our children's education!


There's over 70 million students in the United States. Say, 70 students per teacher (a ridiculously high number), that's 5000 out of a 1 million, or less than 1/2% - and that's if you can believe 5000 people actually signed the petition.

I think the claim is a lie, and the article is BS.

The number of Texas families pulling their children out of public schools and pursuing homeschooling in one week this month is five times greater than the same time period last year, the Texas Homeschool Coalition reports.

“We are literally inundated with calls and emails from thousands upon thousands of families asking how they can begin homeschooling this fall,” Tim Lambert, president of the Texas Home School Coalition, said in a statement.

“In the fall of 2020, the number of homeschooling families in Texas had nearly tripled from 4.5 percent in the spring to 12.3 percent by October, according to the U.S. Census Bureau,” the coalition reports. A conservative estimate put the number of students being homeschooled in Texas in 2020 at roughly 750,000, a state record.

Be careful with getting books for your kids. I found what looked like an Architectural Book for 7-9 year olds. Half of it was "Place the Mosque in the City" and "Climate Change".

Just teach the fucking kids about arches and the golden fucking rectangle, asshole!

Looking for an alternative. I think just printing off old school public domain books is the way to go.

9 Exciting Careers For Gender Studies Graduates

Gender Studies is a growing field with many fulfilling career opportunities! We find more and more genders every day, and we need professionals to sort through them all with their gender sorting machines so they can be placed on the correct gender shelf. That's where you come in! If you think gender studies is for you, here are nine exciting jobs you can get once you graduate:

1) Burger flipper at McDonald's, but a socially conscious one: You can spread the gospel of gender identity to your coworkers!

2) Sign spinner in front of Little Ceasars, but a socially conscious one: Your manager might let you listen to your favorite gender studies podcast while you do it.

3) Foreman at the gender factory: You know, where they manufacture all the genders. Good pay and benefits, especially if you join the gender union.

4) Portland Citizen: Portland is a paradise for gender studies experts. If you play your cards right, they might let you become a professional stabber for Antifa!

5) Professional toxic coworker: As an expert in gender studies, you can become a cancer in a large corporation, slowly wreaking havoc on all relationships and infrastructure from within. Cool!

6) Alyssa Milano: Unfortunately, this position is currently filled.

7) Screenwriter for the next big Marvel or Disney movie: No actual writing skills required, as long as you are really good at gender stuff.

8) Army General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: General Milley did it, so can you!

9) Unitarian pastor: Unitarian pastors are pretty much gender studies professors with fancy collars, so this should be easy for you.

It's not "Wokeness" it's abusive irrational incompetent educators, that put political agendas and their feelings about topics above facts and the truth.

Folks the Liberals hijacked "woke" from reality, the truth is their braindead supporters have never been more asleep in their lives, never in the History of mankind, has anyone intentionally subjugated themselves to the level of meaningless stupidity in lieu of meaningful policy.

If you wanna talk about Woke! The millions of Trump supporters were Woke when he created the great awakening, by coming down the escalator and ratting all of the Global scumbags out. He destroyed our political bliss, of voters taking the lying scumbag politicians word for face value. Not anymore. Meanwhile everyone still voting for those monsters all have their heads up their ass, and buried themselves under 10 feet of sand. While they follow unreasonable morons, that know not of what they do.

There's nothing woke about these people Period!

GREAT NEWS


In the first week (April 23-May 5) of Phase 1 of the Household Pulse Survey, about 5.4% of U.S. households with school-aged children reported homeschooling .

By fall, 11.1% of households with school-age children reported homeschooling (Sept. 30-Oct. 12). A clarification was added to the school enrollment question to make sure households were reporting true homeschooling rather than virtual learning through a public or private school.

For those of you wishing to start homeschooling:

Write a certified letter, to current school, informing that you are withdrawing your child - no need to state a reason although mentioning the suffocating masking mandates might be a nice touch.

File your California Homeschool Affidavit (very easy )https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/ps/affidavit.asp (filing deadline for this year is October 15th - much more difficult if you wait.)

Not necessary, but I highly recommend, become a member of Homeschool Legal Defense https://hslda.org/ They have many resources, the best is a phone line to a live attorney, if truancy officers ever come knocking at your door (which, you are not legally bound to let them in your house). The yearly cost is a good insurance policy to expert legal advice, if it is needed.
