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.

Weird - every time I try to quote a post, the quoted post is the one BEFORE the post I meant to quote. I delete the post, then redo, and it works. Patrick - this seems like a recent (~ 1 week) bug.


@stereotomy I did just try to fix a different bug in quoting, where I would abbreviate it if the quote is more than 1000 chars. But that was fucking up the html too frequently, so now I just pop up an alert that the attempted quote is too long and ask for a smaller selection.

I haven't seen the new bug you mentioned, but I totally could have introduced it somehow. You can see how quoting works if you do "view source" in the browser and can read javascript. If anyone sees how this new bug works, please let me know.

I've seen the quote feature having issues as well. Has been going on for a few weeks now. Happens after making a comment with a quote, then any follow up comment with a quote will have issues, while on the same thread, without reloading the page.

The Post Millennial ran an intriguing story this weekend headlined, “BREAKING: Children stomp on Pride flags as Christian and Muslim parents protest LGBTQ indoctrination in Ottawa schools.”

Stomping on the Pride flag; ouch

The fracas, which is growing into something resembling a movement, has united Christian and Muslim parents against the so-called “Pride” phenomenon. Muslim outrage seems to have initially sprouted from a recent viral classroom audio clip, which features an Edmonton high school teacher. In the leaked recording, the harpy-like instructor can be heard berating innocent Muslim students for not being sufficiently enthusiastic about Pride and atypical sexual behaviors that they believe earn you a front-row, reclining seat in the hot place.

The Londonberry School class was discussing Uganda’s new super-strict anti-homosexuality laws. Recently, lawmakers in that African country passed a law criminally prohibiting even identifying as LGBTQ+, upon a wildly lopsided vote of 398 to 2. Ironically, over here in the U.S., if you agree Satanic Pride merchandise should be quietly moved out of the kids’s section to the back of the Target, you’re told you are literally erasing gay people.

Well, how about a law requiring jail time for just SAYING you’re gay? What would that be? Isn’t that more like ‘erasing?’

Anyway, the irate teacher noticed some students expressing sympathy for the Ugandans, and for their right to have their own African culture without it being appropriated by meddlesome, white, female Canadians. Their teacher didn’t like that kind of sympathy for African culture, not one single bit, and it fired her off into a rageful tizzy.

“If you believe that kind of thing, you don’t belong here,” the teacher said shrilly. She continued scolding the students, her voice rising, explaining “That is not what Canada believes; we believe in freedom; we believe people can marry whoever they want. That is in law, and if you don’t think that should be the law, then you can’t be Canadian. You don’t belong here, and I mean it.”

FYI, her saying “you don’t belong here” was a veiled deportation threat, in case that wasn’t obvious.

Here’s the link, listen for yourself. https://twitter.com/therealhebrahim/status/1666046992911351808

The sanctimonious teacher also informed the students that, if they wished to be free to worship their Muslim faith without discrimination, they also must effusively participate in Pride events. “That’s how it works,” she said, teaching the students that religious liberties are earned by works of public support for atypical same-sex lifestyles.

The Edmonton parents who listened to the teacher berating kids for not being gay enough felt sort of negative about it. They sort of felt like the teacher was being manipulative, emotionally abusive, and pushing a gay agenda using unjustified threats to deport Muslim families. The parents also questioned the teacher’s understanding of basic civics, since in democratic systems, citizens who don’t agree with laws are supposed to try to effect change, not move out.

Parents were further angered when an Ottawa school board sent out a notice telling staff that, when the new school year began, teachers should use “they/them” pronouns for ALL students, by default, to avoid accidentally “misgendering.”

Of course, calling someone THEY when their pronouns are he/him IS misgendering. The mentally-handicapped school board came up with a daft rule guaranteeing that every student would be misgendered. Parents are objecting.

It’s not just happening in Canada, either.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

I think as punishment, they should be forcibly transitioned to the other sex. Women will be given a hysterectomy, have their clitoris slightly enlarged have a chunk of their skin cut off their leg or forearm, and given a non functional penis with little or no feeling, and forced onto testosterone.

Male teachers, will have their testicles removed, the tip of their penis cut off, having their penis hollowed out and inverted, inserted into their body, with a small section of their intestine to lengthen the depth of their "vagina", breast implants, and put on estrogen.

That ought to fix it in short order.

'School boards are grooming children': Muslims revolt against gender ideology in education

Kamel, who helped organize the event, said parental rejection of the sexual indoctrination of children under the guise of education is a point of unification across faiths and religious groups, including Christians, Jews, Muslims, and others.

A demonstration against the sexual indoctrination of children in schools — marketed by the Canadian government as "work to improve equality for 2SLGBTQI+ communities" — took place on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, on Saturday and was attended by mostly Muslim supporters.

Demonstrators chanted, "Leave the kids alone," and "No more silence." Signs held by protesters included messages such as, "GENDER IDEOLOGY OUT OF SCHOOLS," and "My Kid, Not Yours."

Kamel, who helped organize the event, told Rebel News he communicated with several Ottawa-based mosques in recent days leading up to the demonstration.

The message of the demonstration is "hands off our kids," he said. Government-run schools are "forcing this agenda on kids, and some of this material is sexually explicit."

Kamel said parental rejection of the sexual indoctrination of children under the guise of education is a point of unification across faiths and religious groups, including Christians, Jews, Muslims, and others. He remarked that "a brotherhood, a sisterhood, and a fellowship of dialogue" is bringing Canadians together to protect children from sexualization in public schools.

In his final round of the two-day tournament, Matthew was shocked to hear
the opposing team levy a personal attack against him as their central
argument. The opposing team argued: "This debate is more than just about the
debate-it's about protecting the individuals in the community from people
who proliferate hatred and make this community unsafe."

Then they pulled up a screenshot of a tweet from earlier that month, which
Matthew had responded to.

...

Suddenly, Matthew's six-word tweet and an accompanying Discord message
became the focus of the round, U.S. water policy be damned. You can read his
opponents' entire argument-a rambling 25-page treatise in a multi-font
format with no real mention of U.S. water policy-here.

But what is most incredible is that this argument actually won Matthew's
opponents the round.




He's 100% right. What a shame that even high school debate is completely corrupted by wokeness.

May the "Woke" wars begin.

The first shot was fired by the leftists. Firing a college professor for being anti-collegiate. Namely saying that DEI was a bunch of bunk and it was hurting the educational rigor given to students.

Expect retaliatory shots against any teacher flying a pro-LGTBQ flag or making statements supporting CRT outside of direct teaching in based States.

Nation's largest teachers' union recommends sexually explicit "Gender Queer" in their summer reading list

The largest teachers' union in the nation, the NEA, has put out a recommended summer reading list that includes the book Gender Queer which has been at the center of the battle over "banned books" in schools because of its extremely sexually explicit illustrations and promotion of LGBT values.

In case you aren't familiar with it, Gender Queer is a memoir written by an LGBT author and is controversial because it shows, for instance, illustrations of a minor performing oral sex. Like, isn't that illegal??

In fact, the book is so obviously sexually explicit that if you read it at a school board meeting you'll be silenced because of the graphic nature and even Democrats will accuse of sharing child porn if you show people what's in the book.


Teachers' unions are the enemy of both parents and children.

Met with the principal at my daughters new private school, that is fully paid for by the state of Arizona. Christian school, but they also made a point that they are very patriotic. Won't have to examine curriculum for racism or perversion like I did at the public school, quite a relief.

Went to my daughters orientation this week in a church auditorium. The pastor spoke about the school being un-apologetically Christian, and patriotic. She is taught the Bible, and an accelerated curriculum. She came home the second day complaining about the workload.

Have I sold you on pulling your kids from public school yet?
