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.

Take a look at porninschools.com for the explicit, graphic, and very, very woke propaganda used to groom kids - and it's in most red states as well.

A “Teacher of the Year” has been arrested at a San Diego County school on multiple charges of child sex abuse and child pornography, according to reports.

Jacqueline Ma, a 34-year-old sixth-grade teacher at Lincoln Acres Elementary School in National City, was arrested Thursday.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said Ma faces 14 charges relating to possession of child pornography, sexual exploitation of a child, and “preventing or dissuading a witness or victim,” according to KNSD.

On Tuesday, Ma had been arrested on three counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 and three counts of oral copulation with a child under 14, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

Wow, that's a HARD 34, especially for an Asian woman.

But it'll be a shock if she gets any incarceration at all. If she does, it'll be minimal.

The Jezebel spirit is dangerous to all in the society it infects. There was a REASON multiple sources from the Ancient Greeks to Ancient Hebrews to Ancient Chinese all warned about Gynocentrism and eliminating checks on female behavior.

Guys, this is real.

This is a real person — a genderqueer shapeshifting witch — who was hired by a school district in Colorado to train staff.

And look, I don't even have to explain to you who this person is that the Thompson School District hired to train staff on transgender issues. The human themself explains on they/them's website:

Silen Charlie Wellington (they/them)* is a sculptor of sound, artist of people, witch, genderqueer shapeshifter, mercurial story collector, and lover, among other things. Avidly interdisciplinary, they like to combine music with other art mediums, be that spoken word, visual art, ritual performance, loud and fiery eye contact, otherworldly and melting trysts, or something else entirely.

I think there should also be courses in medicine and law every year of high school.

Those cartels are determined to prevent widespread public knowledge of both fields.

Hellenic is a K-8 charter school serving 750 students at two campuses, one in Brooklyn and the other on Staten Island. The local Greek community founded the school in 2005 to offer a classical curriculum. “We created the school to spread Hellenism, highlight the importance of the classics including the study of the Greek and Latin languages, and to educate children about Greek culture and ideas: democracy, science, the arts,” said school board chair Charles Capetanakis. Almost 60 percent of the school’s diverse student body is low-income.


Seems like a good idea to me.

LOS ANGELES, CA — As tensions continue to rise amid negotiations for a new contract, Los Angeles Unified School District teachers threatened to return to their classrooms and resume teaching students if their demands are not met.

"If the school district refuses to give us what we want, we'll start teaching again!" warned Sparkle Stardust, a transgender pansexual who teaches 2nd grade. "We mean business! If they aren't willing to agree to every request, we'll be back in those classrooms and totally grooming everyone's children! Don't try us!"

Concerned parents have been strongly urging the school district to stand firm and not cave to the teachers' union demands, citing improved dispositions in their children and far less mental and emotional damage being inflicted on them when they aren't attending class. "My kids just seem so much happier and less confused when they don't spend the day with their teachers," said parent Adrian Diaz. "Honestly, I think my kids are better off if the teachers aren't anywhere near them."

The teachers union had reportedly made substantial requests for their new contract with the school district, including six-hour breaks during each school day, classes limited to only three students per teacher, $750,000 annual salaries, and a requirement that at least 80% of all district students convert to alternative LGBTQ lifestyles.

At publishing time, the teachers were reportedly seeking to increase negotiating pressure on the school district by declaring monthly celebrations of "Admiral Rachel Levine Day" in their classes.

Oh, I was a public LA Unified school teacher for a 10 year stint. I am so glad how hard it is now and the time required to get a teaching credential even after years of education before that.

ONLY stupid stooge morons would want to be a teacher today. After viewing the above pics; CASE CLOSED!

Haven't you considered the possibility that they don't want to teach children anything?

They will happily defund police, but will they reduce taxation?

We don't have an education system anymore. It's SO WEIRD to see all these stupid flags as well.

The New York City teachers union is sponsoring a virtual workshop on fighting back against the “harmful effects of whiteness in our lives.”

The United Federation of Teachers’ online seminar, dubbed “Holding the Weight on Whiteness,” is scheduled for Monday, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and will be hosted by Queens-based psychotherapy consultant and self-proclaimed “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Leader” Erica Sandoval.

UFT members who are licensed mental health professionals can earn two hours of credit toward their continuing education credentials, which can eventually result in a higher salary.

The workshop costs $25 to attend and will focus on “key cultural themes … related to the Latinx/e communities,” including “internalized racism, privilege, [and] white identity,” according to the union’s website and an Instagram post.

“Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how to center ourselves as a form of resistance against the harmful effects of whiteness in our lives, the organizations we work for or direct, and the communities in which we serve,” the post says.

Or as an attack on Spanish language itself, as Spanish has actual grammatical genders.

WASHINGTON—The Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies (DFI) released a new report today that finds eight of the nation’s 20 largest school districts allow students to use names and pronouns at school aligned with their gender identity without parental knowledge and consent. Yet these same districts, including New York City Department of Education, Los Angeles Unified School District, and Chicago Public Schools, require parental permission to dispense over-the-counter medication to students at school.

Students have been flocking to Christian colleges in recent years as enrollments in public universities have been declining.

Overall, the national enrollment rate of college students has been falling.

However, Christian colleges and universities are seeing an increase in enrollment, according to higher education experts.

During the fall 2022 semester, the national undergraduate enrollment rate dropped by 1.1 percent.

Since 2020, the rate declined by a total of 4.2%, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.

Yet many faith-based institutions saw an increase in enrollment.

Higher education experts claim this is because of these institutions’ commitment to their roots.

“We have doubled down on our core essence and purpose as an institution and made that well known to prospective students,” Jonathan Sanford, University of Dallas (UD) president, told the Daily Caller.

UD, a “Catholic, liberal arts university known for [its] intellectual rigor and [its] deep commitment to the Catholic faith and a robust, Western-based classical education,” according to Sanford, welcomed its second-largest incoming class to the Texas school in fall 2022, its website reads.

The school set its record enrollment rate during the 2021-2022 academic year and welcomed 487 freshman students.

“I think there’s a deep hunger in the souls of all individuals, but particularly in this generation, for a real education and real exposure to the timeless ideas and classical texts as well as real exposure to how to build upon those timeless truths and classical texts in order to be innovative contributors to the renewal of culture,” Sanford said.

Stephen Johnson, director of marketing and communications at Benedictine College in Kansas, revealed that the Catholic liberal arts school had “record enrollment once again for Fall 2022 and recruiting is going strong for Fall 2023.”

“It is heartening that schools like Hillsdale College—schools that take a classical approach to the liberal arts—are seeing an increase in student interest, and that the media are taking note,” said Emily Stack Davis, executive director of media relations and communications at Hillsdale College.

“At Hillsdale, we recognize that education should point to the permanent things—an understanding of what it means to be human, how to live a good life, and what leads to happiness.”

During the fall of 2021, Hillsdale College enrollment increased by 16%, according to MLive.

It experienced a 53% boost in applications, as well. ...

HOWEVER, be careful. Many colleges, not Hillsdale, but to a great degree big ones like Baylor, have become very woke.

On Long Island, there was the Suffolk County biweekly, the Suffolk Life for many years, and the Editor/Owner Willmot had it out with Teachers Unions at least once a month. Literally everything he claimed is demonstrably true.

Also notice how even handed the NYT was back then relative to today.
