America is a two-party system … there’s the Republican Party … and the CNN Party. The Democrat Party has vanished … gone away … and the CNN Party now runs the Republican opposition. They set the agenda … chart the strategies … grow the enthusiasm ... and spin the issues. Pelosi and Schumer are political … Continue reading Silly Stuff – CNN Is A Political Party

But they're young .... and easily herded ... and not as wise to the world as … Continue reading ALERT! Teen Brains Under Construction
Guest post: Michelle Moore Kiss your children good-bye and whisper Godspeed ... they've been drafted by the Far Left ... without your permission. Again.

They're not. Not … Continue reading Can’t You See Me?

And... of course ... academic kindergarten. This is the … Continue reading Rushing Them and Crushing Them – Church of Reformed Education
This moment of pedagogical abuse sits at the feet of mothers and fathers across America. There is now enough reform history that cannot be denied. If this comes to pass, parents own the moment. This is what happens when parents become self-absorbed, uncurious, and lazy. When they are so full-up in their own moments that they … Continue reading Baby PISA
“Our entire universe is probably in a tiny glass jar somewhere, placed on a shelf in some alien child’s room as a science fair project that got a C minus …” Leave it up to a meme … the new technological bumper-sticker … to tutor us about our probable insignificance and immaturity.
