The Lakeville School district says it stands against racism and bigotry, and is committed to creating a more inclusive environment for all students. But some families say what is being said and being done is sending mixed messages. A group of teachers initially inquired about the BLM posters. The district says anything political is against district policy, and the BLM posters may be seen as political. The school district did state it will offer opportunities for students, staff and families to provide feedback and dialogue with administration through listening sessions, and will have more information about those efforts in the...

Parents at Tustin Unified School District in Orange County, CA, are demanding answers after discovering their children were given a “White Savior Complex Assignment” and were administered a “Healthy Kids’ survey (which included racial questions) without parental knowledge. Emails, meetings with school administrators, and questions presented at Board meetings were met with little response and few answers. Parents ultimately submitted a Public Records Request demanding all information and communications regarding Critical Race Theory. On June 2, 2021, parents received files from the District which only heightened concerns that Critical Race Theory was being woven into the school curriculum. The Public...

Both houses in '22/WH in '24. The long term plan is to plant the seed in our millennials-75 million of them and they need to remember in '24 what was brought up in '22. Hispanic voters got it in '20 and we can build on it. It makes Trump more important. Millennials are 40 and under-old enough to start thinking long term-at least 2 years. 1) SSI-Tell them they're getting screwed! Won't be there for them. Promise reform in '22, let the rats veto, then talk it up more in '24-teachable & can tap into their resentment like the rats...

A dozen years ago a radio engineer dying of cancer invented a treatment where metal particles were treated to attach to cancer cells so the cancer cells would be cooked and destroyed on exposure to a radio wave. https://www.newsweek.com/2015/07/31/kanzius-cancer-machine-gets-its-first-human-trial-355758.htmlNow people are finding that the food we are eating that is processed in China is magnetic, meaning it contains metal. https://youtu.be/rrqMJm8M0ZcIf we are eating food containing metal, we will contain metal. The globalists are Hell-bent on installing 5G cell towers all around the world that are capable of emitting much more powerful radio waves than previous generations. This would be a...

I love this one! Read it. It basically says that if the fed wants to come knocking on your door over a federal gun law, they will be on their own. Where I live, they can't round up enough feds to play with a Ouija board!

At least two teachers in Rhode Island have been busted offering students bonus points to defend Critical Race Theory during school board meetings, either in person or through written testimonies. Documents obtained by Parents Defending Education (PDE) revealed that two teachers in Barrington, Rhode Island, offered five bonus points to each student on their next test if they defended CRT. The teachers, Alison Grieco and Jennifer Bergevine, were trying to stop House Bill 6070, which prohibits the “teaching of divisive concepts.” “The legislation aims to prevent the teaching of critical race theory, which includes concepts that ‘an individual, by virtue...

Selling Beer and Making Whoopee: A Note on Juneteenth“The time has come in Dallas when the Juneteenth celebration has about gotten down to a contest over the question as to who will sell beer to the crowd. Unless it rises above this dirty place it should be stopped, for the celebration is a farce, a veritable nuisance which should be abated.” Dallas Morning News (July 4, 1903)I do not know who has the beer concession for our new Federal Juneteenth holiday; but have no doubt the celebration will be well supplied with “beer.” By “beer” I mean the gassy and...

It stands 14 feet tall, holds 1,000 gallons of fuel and can work close to an acre-and-a-half a minute. At 36,000 pounds, its eight 8-foot-tall tires alone weigh as much as a conventional farm tractor. “We just kind of spiffed it up and took it out and farmed with it,” Robert Williams said. “This tractor has never just sat around. It has worked its whole life.” PULLING AN 80-foot tiller at speeds up to 8 miles per hour, Big Bud can work approximately 1.4 acres of ground per minute with a fuel economy of three-quarters of a gallon per acre....

Residents in one Chicago ward are “giving up” on calling the police as the city fails to protect them from violent crime, according to one city council member. Alderman Raymond Lopez described the violence plaguing his constituents in the city’s 15th Ward and beyond, slamming Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot, whose law enforcement policies and focus on systemic racism, he said, are doing little to stop the mostly gang-related violence. “Generational gang life isn’t just something that’s encouraged. It’s almost revered in some neighborhoods,” Lopez, whose constituents are about 67% Latino and 22% black, told the Washington Examiner in an interview....

President Joe Biden's former coronavirus czar scolded Americans for not sacrificing enough during the past year to stem the pandemic. Andy Slavitt, who resigned as a senior adviser to the White House pandemic response team last week, suggested that Americans were selfish and have only themselves to blame for the tragedies of the past year. He made the snide comments Monday on "CBS This Morning" while shilling his new book “Preventable: The Inside Story of How Leadership Failures, Politics, and Selfishness Doomed the U.S. Coronavirus Response."

Welcome back to Education Insanity, a weekly column updating you on the most insane events taking place in our nation’s schools.

The nearly simultaneous shutdown of four gigantic power plants in Texas — capable of powering almost 1 million homes — drove the region to the brink of yet another energy crisis this past week as temperatures soared, according to data analyzed by Bloomberg. All told, generators across the second-largest U.S. state were either down for repairs or running at reduced capacity when triple-digit heat was baking Texas, according to data compiled by Wood Mackenzie Ltd.'s Genscape unit. But the biggest impacts came from just a handful of facilities: a Vistra Corp.-owned 1.15-megawatt nuclear reactor, and three other giant facilities owned...

This first Juneteenth; we remember the liberation of black Americans who were enslaved by godless and lawless white American Democrats; but also the many abolitionist and white Americans who despised slavery and shed their own precious blood to redeem a people from their godless white oppressors and fron their horrific tyranny. The white and black oppressors of the lawless Left Democratic Party, who abhor Almighty God the Creator and His RIGHTEOUSNESS (Rom. 1:18-32) only seek to agitate, control, use, enrage and scare their black Democratic voters and to keep them on their state plantation. The very ones who are their...

And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul. 1 Samuel 18:12 Keep praying warriors. The truth is leaking through the Pelosi’s Iron Curtain and people are realizing America is living the Big Lie. Bit by bit the lies about the Covid are coming out to the point liberals are arguing with each other whether they can continue to lie about the Wuhan lab being the source of the virus when it is obvious now to everyone except the distorter reporters. The Big Truth is beginning to be revealed showing how much...

ELEVENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME MATTHEW 6:24–34 Friends, our Gospel today calls us to entrust our lives completely to God. How often the Bible compels us to meditate on the meaning of faith! We might say that the Scriptures rest upon faith, and that they remain inspired at every turn by the spirit of faith. Paul Tillich said that "faith" is the most misunderstood word in the religious vocabulary, and I’ve always felt that he’s right about that. What is faith? Faith is an attitude of trust in the presence of God. Faith is openness to what God will reveal,...
