I live in Florida, on the west coast.  You couldn’t get me on the east coast at gunpoint.  They are all crazy over there.  The guys over at stoptheaclu finds that lefties are ruling with an iron (hammer?) fist over there.  Here is the passage.
“We send our young adults to university to be educated in [...]

I caught this on FOX when Tucker Carlson pointed out the fact that Texas, because of its size, can control the type of school text books you kids read in public school.   Often we don’t realize how concentrated policy can be because of certain elements.  For example, in California many of the eco-rules are created [...]

This is a good link.  Especially the New Yorker article by Brill (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/08/31/090831fa_fact_brill) which outlines the “rubber room” policy created by the schools in New York to handle problem teachers.  It is almost impossible to fire a teacher because of union rules.  The unions were created to offset the abuse directed towards teachers for years [...]

In concluding the the chapter on the “Red Terror” the authors make a very good point:
“Between them, Mao and Xie Fuzhi, working toward the Chairman, had sanctioned a reign of terror.  The youth of China had been brought up in  a culture of violence that class struggle represented.  Whereas party violence had normally been carefully [...]

Why am I not surprised.  A teacher, a school nurse and a vaccine for a flu that isn’t that dangerous leads to a child being hospitalized.  Here’s the problem- they really do think they have the right to control your child’s life. If the government says the vaccine is safe, then by God, it’s safe [...]

This is sad.  Maybe Rush was right, that Obama would not be the great uniter and post racial as he claimed he would be. The problem is that race being used as a weapon is so ingrained into certain elements of the black culture that it is often the first one picked up and used [...]

As I’m blogging and commenting, I cemented my opinion around the effort for Obama to convert young school children into Obamanites.
Then, as I thought some more about recruitment, it hits me with a Homer Simpson moment. DUH! My daughter is almost fifteen, she will be turning eighteen during 2012. She’ll miss being able to vote [...]

This post is prompted by a back and forth with another commentor on a blog about letting kids listening to a politician speak about his agenda in a closed environment.  Anybody who as spent two seconds on my blog know where I stand.
Here’s the problem in a nutshell.  Regardless of whether or not it is [...]

My wife and I have home-schooled our children for most of their lives.  My daughter is going on fifteen, taking Latin, geometry, English literature (including some use of logic).  My son is going on thirteen, and spends his day with math, English
, spelling and this week we start a course on world history (non PC).  [...]

It seems to me that the best way to show your disagreement with a sitting President giving a speech directly to every child in school in America from grades one to six is to prevent it from happening in the first place.
Put aside for a second the sheer, SHEER gall of the man to think [...]
