Yes, there are two Americas. The one where John Edwards used to have a scholarship program that he intended to set up as an example for all of America to follow… and the one where he cancels that scholarship program. Is it because he isn’t running for president any more? Since Edwards [...]

Randi Weingarten has delusions of grandeur. She thinks she should be given the power of a dictator instead of those of a teachers union president. Instead of just teaching kids, Weingarten imagines that she should become doctor, nanny, nutritionist, psychologist, and mother to every kid in America. She imagines that she [...]

When I was a kid, I got hurt a lot. Not as much as my brother did, but I swear to you it seemed that my knees were always scabbed and I always had scrapes and bruises everywhere. My brother was even worse. It’s a miracle we both escaped with no broken [...]

There is an article here that shows strong ecological correlations between measures of IQ and the mean temperatures of American States.
(Note: “Ecological correlation” is a technical term in statistics that has nothing to do with environmentalism. It refers to correlations between grouped data — and such correlations must not be confused with [...]

We read:
“A proposed Bible course for public schools would not violate the First Amendment, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said Wednesday, although he would not approve any specific curriculum.

ACLU Halts Free Speech of Gideons

I challenge some Hare Krishnas to give out free Bhagavad Gitas or Muslims to give out free Quarans at our schools. As long as the children are not forced to take one under some liberal social awareness plan, I’ll bet that no uproar will happen. However, having the Gideons pass out free New [...]

For what it’s worth:
Do you believe there wasn’t a pregnancy pact? I don’t know that I do, but it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t change the utter foolishness of getting pregnant on purpose as a teenager.

Everyone is talking about the “importance” of blogging and wondering where it will all lead at least where it concerns the influence blogging might have on politics. There was even a warning that bloggers are facing oppression and arrest at an increasing rate in some despotic countries proving that blogging is already [...]

In yet another example of why the west could be too weak to fight the sort of global terrorism that takes the form of Islamofascism, a textbook monitoring group is charging that American textbooks have been cleansed of mentioning the violence inherent in the Islamic “Jihad.” Now, our children will not [...]

-By Warner Todd Huston
One would assume that everyone wants to see that our kids get the best education possible. I mean, who could possibly be against kids getting the best opportunities?
