    There’s an old saying that goes, something that can’t go on forever won’t. Chicago is now in the early stages of learning that this applies to their public school system. They’re facing a massive budget deficit of $734 million and are on pace to lay off almost 1,500 teachers and staffers. Perhaps Mayor Brandon Johnson should have been more focused on delivering the services that American citizen taxpayers paid for and less on the needs of illegal immigrants and Chicago’s ‘sanctuary city’ status. ... Chicago Public Schools parents and community members sounded off on Monday, three days after the district...

    Rebel News recently paid a visit to the school and spoke with parents. They declined to come on camera, but all were disgusted by the behaviour of this individual. Earlier this month, parents who were picking up their children at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Elementary School in Vaughan, Ont., were shocked to discover that one school bus driver was not like the others. Which is to say the male driver, who’s name remains unknown, was dressed as a little girl. Even more disturbing, he had a sign on the window of the bus stating: “The Lolita Line”. Good grief...

    A trans-identified male sports coach who was previously at the center of multiple controversies at a Gettysburg, Pennsylvania high school, has boasted in a fetish forum to having sent his homemade porn to a member of the school board in order to fulfill his “exposure fetish.” David Yates was hired by Gettysburg Area School District in 2018 while still referring to himself as a male, but in 2022, he began using the name Sasha and declared that he was transgender. In 2022, within months after Yates began “identifying” as female and began to use facilities for women and girls, he...
  • Zohran Mamdani’s education agenda would set New York City up for failure

    Zohran Mamdani’s recent victory in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary has drawn widespread attention for his affiliation with the Democratic Socialists of America and what some see as antisemitic rhetoric. But beyond the headlines, it’s the education platform Mamdani champions that could pose the greatest threat to New York City families — especially those striving to access better schools and brighter futures for their children. At the core of Mamdani’s approach is an unambiguous rejection of school choice. He opposes vouchers, charter school expansion, and even co-location policies that allow high-performing charters to operate in underutilized public school...

    The United Nations and its “human rights” bureaucracy are unhappy with American education — especially President Trump’s policies and proposals.Instead of local or parental control, the UN is pushing for radical changes: more federal power, less educational choice, government oversight of private schools, and the promotion of controversial ideological content — all at taxpayer expense. It also wants education globally redefined as a UN-backed “human right.”UN Investigates U.S.The UN’s latest attack on U.S. education, parental rights, state and national sovereignty, and the Constitution came in the form of an investigation and “country report” to the UN’s dictator-dominated “Human Rights Council.”...

    merica’s kids are anxious, depressed, and falling behind academically. The problem isn’t just lackluster test scores or TikTok addiction. Public education is a system designed to crush kids’ instincts for curiosity and independence, molding them into compliant and uncreative future adults. In this fifth installment of “The Poisoning of the American Mind,” I break down how our public schools have become factory farms for children. From worsening mental health to replacing academic rigor with woke indoctrination, today’s schools don’t just fail to educate — they actively harm kids.

    The end is nigh. That seems to be the message this week from the three liberal justices at the Supreme Court when faced with the nightmarish prospect of parents being able to remove their young children from mandatory classes on gay, lesbian and transgender material. … Justice Sonia Sotomayor declared that there “will be chaos for this nation’s public schools” and both education and children will “suffer” if parents are allowed to opt their children out of these lessons. She also worried about the “chilling effect” of the ruling, which would make schools more hesitant to offer such classes in...

A parent alerted the school of the plot on Oct. 1, 2024, after their child overheard the group talking about it. The students and their parents were instructed to come back to...

    LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - A 15-year-old accused of raping a 7-year-old on a school bus in central Indiana has now been charged as an adult, according to NBC-affiliate WTHR. WTHR reported a judge in Jennings County waived Landon Doty, of North Vernon, to adult court. According to court documents, the victim suffers from “moderate to severe autism” and is non-verbal. The family of the victim said he was sexually assaulted multiple times on his school bus. Court documents say the alleged crimes took place on the bus while being taken to school in the morning/afternoon in front of other children....

    What do you call a nation where a high school student can graduate with honors—yet cannot read or write?You call it America in 2025.This week, we learned about Aleysha Ortiz, a 19-year-old who graduated from Hartford Public High School in Connecticut with academic distinction—despite being illiterate. She is now suing the school district, alleging negligence, emotional distress, and a complete abdication of duty by the educators and administrators who were supposed to serve her. Her story, reported by CNN, is both infuriating and emblematic of a national crisis that’s been engineered from top down.Aleysha’s early assessments showed severe learning challenges....

    Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) president Stacy Davis Gates said on Monday that “all children belong to” the union. At the City Club Chicago event, Gates bashed President Donald Trump for lessening the power of teachers’ unions, calling his education agenda a “relitigation” of the Civil War while complaining about the failing state of Chicago schools. Quoting civil rights activist James Baldwin, Gates tells the crowd, “The children are always ours. Every single one of them, all over the globe.” Gates then mocks parents who would respond by saying “CTU thinks your children are its children.” “Yes, we do,” Gates said....

    The Trump administration has sued Texas and Kentucky over laws allowing undocumented students to pay in-state tuition. Students wonder if the federal government will target California, which passed its law in 2001. States’ in-state tuition laws, often enacted with bipartisan support, have faced growing challenges. For 24 years, immigrants lacking documentation who graduated from high school in California have received in-state tuition benefits at public colleges and universities under a law that’s given tens of thousands access to higher education that many couldn’t otherwise afford. When the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 540 in 2001, it was the second state...

    On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” CNN Political Contributor and Democratic strategist Paul Begala said that while he disagrees with bans on gender transitions for children, it’s “crazy” for states like California to keep schools from telling parents about their children transitioning. Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) said, “[T]his is one of the reasons why the Democrats are losing on an issue like this, because, again, if you can’t definitively tell — I have a six, a four, and a 2-year-old. My six and four-year-old, they think that they’re Anna and Elsa and my little boy thinks he’s Lightning McQueen....

    In what some believe to be another case of political correctness gone awry, a teacher at West Valley High School in Spokane, Washington, claims he was fired for reading the “n-word” aloud during a class discussion of To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee’s iconic novel about racial injustice in the Jim Crow South. The former West Valley High School teacher, Matthew Mastronardi, was secretly recorded by a student while reading a passage from the school-approved text that uses the n-word in its historical context. In a series of posts on X, Mastronardi explained that while he teaches Spanish, he had...

At the Arts & Technology Academy in the Eugene School District 4J, students celebrated "Pride Spirit Week" with a different theme each day intended to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, according to a memo obtained by Fox News Digital. On Monday, students were encouraged to "wear as many colors as they could" for "Rainbow-Out" day. On Tuesday, they were told to wear all black "in remembrance of...
