A US National ID System Would Be a Recipe for Disaster
This article was originally posted at The Federalist. Kyle Sammin cogently argues that the United States should implement a voluntary national identity system in the wake of the Equifax hacking. Debate about this issue has roiled for decades. Although numerous countries have a national identification system, Americans have long resisted the idea.
Lawsuits Are Bringing Down The Transgender Industrial Complex Original
True societal pathologies have a limited shelf life, and it turns out the most recent pathology – transgender ideology — is no exception. Detransitioner Fox Varian recently won $2 million against the psychologist and surgeon who led her into mutilation, a double mastectomy, at the age of 16. Almost immediately, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Medical Association timidly walked back their support of gender-related mutilation of minors. The reckoning has begun.
More States Reject College Board’s Politicized Dual-Credit Classes
Under the leadership of Common Core czar David Coleman, the College Board has been creating or rewriting Advanced Placement (AP) courses to reflect a leftist worldview. AP courses such as U.S. History and European History now push a decidedly left-of-center narrative that conflicts with traditional scholarship and introduces a de facto national curriculum for the advanced students who populate AP classes. But some states are beginning to challenge the woke-ification of AP.
The Next Frontier For The Hypersexualized Left: Normalizing Pedophilia
In its lust to destroy every taboo about sexual behavior, the left is never satiated. Next up? Acceptance of pedophilia.

3 Ways The Left’s Hatred Of Women Shows Up In Transgender Ideology
The political left has a misogyny problem. For all the trumpeting of women's rights, leftist policies frequently demean, disempower, or even endanger women.
Every Student Succeeds Act
Jane Robbins and Emmett McGroarty: The politicians vented their outrage about Facebook, Cambridge Analytica, censorship of conservative content, etc., but Michelle Malkin points out, “not a peep was heard about the Silicon Valley-Beltway theft ring purloining the personal information and browsing habits of millions of American schoolchildren.”
Malkin's Right: Silicon Valley's-Beltway Ed Data Mining Has Been Ignored
Writing for National Review, Michelle Malkin points out the gaping hole in Senators’ questioning of boy billionaire Mark Zuckerberg last week.
Is President Trump Being Played by Betsy DeVos and Jeb Bush? | Truth in American Education
Conservatives have been gratified by some of President Trump’s Cabinet choices but alarmed by others. Observers who remember the first Reagan administration may find parallels between the two presidents’ situations – Cabinet picks who went on to undermine the president’s agenda. Are the very establishment Republicans whom Trump ran against trying to out-maneuver him? The most obvious area of similarity is education.
These 11 changes could make Betsy DeVos the last secretary of education EVER
Conservative education activists familiar with Betsy DeVos' positions on Common Core and other progressive education policies were dismayed by her nomination to be secretary of education. The grassroots might have expected that from a President-elect Jeb Bush, but not President-elect Donald Trump. Once again, the elites ignore the parents.
Think Common Core is bad? New standards crank the creep-factor up to eleven
The battle over who will direct the hearts and minds of children is intensifying. Within the dangerous labyrinth of Common Core standards, testing, and data-mining is the even more concerning ramp-up of Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Parents and teachers who believe in genuine education rather than pseudo-psychological evaluation are facing off against bipartisan big government and its affiliated corporations and foundations.
What the latest, absurd, religious freedom case could mean for Thanksgiving
Later this week, we will celebrate Thanksgiving, a day rooted in a national call to prayer and fasting and goes back as far as the Continental Congress and our first few presidents. Yet, if federal judges understood the true meaning of Thanksgiving, they’d probably rule it unconstitutional on the grounds that it violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. For example, consider the case of Felix v.
The National Pulse
WikiLeaks emails reveal that Hillary Clinton is either as ignorant of, or as deceptive about, the Common Core scheme as most politicians are. Susan Berry of Breitbart News reports that in July 2014, the creepy, mind-mapping project Knewton, Inc., paid Clinton $225,500 to spout nonsense about Common Core. Imagine what the going rate must be for the truth.
Civil Rights for Me, But Not for Thee
Photo via Wikimedia Commons The Obama administration’s campaign to force schools to open up restrooms, locker rooms, overnight sleeping accommodations, and probably sports teams to students of either sex is not going well. The latest opposition comes from several brave students in Minnesota’s Virginia Public Schools, who are reminding the administration that they, too, have rights.
Are Brain Scans The Future Of Education?
We’ve reported on two dangerous education trends being promoted by the U.S. Department of Education (USED): social-emotional learning (SEL) and high-tech brain-mapping to “personalize” education by probing how a child’s mind works. In its 2012 Promoting Grit, Tenacity, and Perseverance report, USED enthused over the prospect of hooking children up to various other devices to measure their physiological responses to instructional stimuli.
Not a conspiracy theory: Educrats discover alarming new ways to data mine our children
Opponents of the progressive-education elitists on issues such as the Common Core scheme are routinely accused of spouting paranoid conspiracy theories. This smear is particularly common in discussing technology-driven “digital learning.” It’s ridiculous, educrats say, to suggest that schools — meaning the government —and their corporate ed-tech allies will be probing the psyches of our children. Track children’s eye movements or scan their brains?
Fraudulent Hillary blasts the very tax loopholes she uses
Today, Hillary Clinton stood before the nation to outline her vision for the American economy. During her speech, she was resolute in her differences with political nemesis, Donald Trump. Clinton was correct; the policy positions she shares with Trump are few; their policy differences, many. Clinton would like to increase taxes, regulations, and labor union membership. Trump wants the exact opposite.
Is California Forcing LGBT Indoctrination on Schools?
Now that most sane Californians who are not billionaires have fled the state (and God bless the intrepid remnant who remain to fight!), the Left faces little opposition to its radical agenda. A recent illustration is the state board of education’s approval of the new K-12 social science and history framework. Sober commentators have warned about the extreme leftist slant of the framework. A glaring example is that some lessons will now focus on individuals solely because of their sexual behavior.
The National Pulse
President Barack Obama (photo credit: Marc Nozell via Flickr, CC BY 2.0) It didn’t take long for Mississippi State School Superintendent Carey Wright to fall in line like a good bureaucrat. On Friday the 13th, the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice issued their lawless edict threatening public schools and universities if they refused to open up their restrooms, locker rooms, dormitories, and probably sports teams to both sexes.
The National Pulse
A letter is going out today from Emperor Obama’s henchman at the Departments of “Education” and “Justice,” implicitly threatening public schools with loss of federal funding if they protect private restrooms and locker rooms for schoolchildren. The ideologues have no legal basis for this decree. The Constitution doesn’t allow it.
Don't Let Elitists De-emphasize Patriotism in U.S. History Classes
American cynics, such as those who developed the controversial new Advanced Placement U.S. history course, are aghast at the idea of “teaching patriotism.” But what does it really mean to promote patriotism through the study of history? Few Americans would approve of the government indoctrinating students with a particular worldview. However, if teaching the truth about American history inspires patriotism, then that’s an entirely different matter.
