Is there a suicide prevention hot-line for teacher unions? There oughta be. “A half-century ago, teachers unions had a place in the American public.

How To Ruin A College
"Here’s something you don’t see every day: A bunch of teachers at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill have decided to protest ... by withholding students’ grades" Yup. They're mad. At a statue. "Silent Sam" ... a long ago alumni-gift from Civil War veterans ... was set to be moved indoors ... out of sight of … Continue reading How To Ruin A College
Education’s Armageddon: Homeschooling
Homeschoolers ... you're next. The feds have captured the public schools ... and now they wanna make sure you can never escape.

First Grade Christmas Blues
Is this not the most perfect punctuation mark for this miserable moment of school failure? "School District Apologizes After Teacher Tells First Graders Santa Isn't Real" But they're not really sorry. Nope ... because Santa was in the way of that "grit 'n rigor" stuff. So they called in Miss Grinch ... the Christmas Crud. She did … Continue reading First Grade Christmas Blues

Common Core Blows Up! Let’s ‘Act’ Surprised!
WHAT A MESS! Wait! Wait! Wait! This Common Core reform was supposed to turn every kid into a planetary genius ... too smart for the rest of the world. Finland was gonna beg for our secrets.

Common Core: The Zombie Reform
Common Core just won’t die. It’s alive, alright. Maybe under an alias, but it’s the same old poison … spawning troubling stuff. Half-time band-shows that disrespect law enforcement. Kindergarten teachers hosting “Transition” ceremonies … for a five-year-old boy who fancies himself a girl. How about Black Lives Matter curriculum guides? Hijab days? Sanctuary elementary schools? Co-ed bathrooms? Or fifth graders … Continue reading Common Core: The Zombie Reform
The Village Idiots Strike Again
HEADLINE: "A Mississippi Marching Band Staged a Halftime Skit Depicting Students Pointing Guns at Police" Read that again ... so it sinks in. Why didn't parents know about this skit? Why wasn't this cleared before hand? Why does this band director still have his job? Why is the principal so clueless? This is the perfect case in … Continue reading The Village Idiots Strike Again
GOOD-BYE, COLUMBUS
All that's left of Columbus Day is a sale on runny ricotta ... and some crappy cannolis. As far as I can figure, somebody put dead Christopher Columbus on trial … sent his bones to prison ... where he was strung up by righteous liberals. So this is a sort of ghost holiday. It's here ... … Continue reading GOOD-BYE, COLUMBUS
