The prompts reportedly touch on sensitive topics ranging from sexual attraction and gender identity to mental health...

Where moonbats have been allowed to dominate it, education is not about education; it is about moonbattery. This includes introducing prepubescent children to sexual depravity: A Maryland middle school presented a slideshow to 6th graders celebrating “Transgender Awareness Week” where the children were given a lesson that included “advice for coming out” and “8 tips for being nonbinary.” This time it isn’t Baltimore but Bethesda. Westland Middle School is a public school financed by taxpayers. Indoctrination included “a video that was produced by the LGBT educational resource provider Pop’n’Olly.” In no sane world would an “LGBT educational resource provider” be...

The number of Gen Z college freshmen who are entering universities without high school math skills is skyrocketing — as SAT scores are plummeting, a stunning new report has found. Even more shocking — many of the students can’t even do middle-school level math, meaning their skills are fifth grade or below. Experts say this phenomenon, combined with steadily rising high school graduate rates, show that the country is suffering a massive grade inflation problem. The University of California San Diego, for instance, has reported a staggering 30-fold increase in the number of students unable to do basic arithmetic over...

My 11-year-old son joined the elementary school band, and so I went to the parents’ orientation night held at a local high-school. As the night went on it became obvious why young men rage against the larger social system and why they might find a character like Nick Fuentes attractive. The classrooms were inundated with DEI messages and trans pride flags. On the walls there were posters, stickers and decorations that all invoked the various totems of diversity. Black Lives Matter messaging, decolonization messaging, LGBTQ+ messaging and basically every sort of race and gender social justice messaging you can imagine...

Malevolent kooks at the University of Minnesota are not the only educators in this Somali colony who really don’t like the native population. The state’s largest teachers union, Education Minnesota, offers professional development courses on such topics as Interrupting Whiteness: The “racial equity trainings” can be brought “to your building” when requested by Education Minnesota members, the union website explains, and offer instruction on topics like “Culturally Responsive Teaching With a Racial Justice Lens” and “Cultural Competency.” “Racial justice” is Liberalese for antiwhite race hate. “Cultural competency” entails subordinating American and European culture to less successful ones. In a state...

A Chicago Public Schools (CPS) policy allows illegal immigrant students excused absences if they or their family members are afraid of federal immigration enforcement activities in the area. A document called Chicago Public Schools’ Attendance Coding for Safety Concerns Related to Federal Representative Activity, obtained by education watchdog Defending Education, affirms that illegal immigrant students can be marked as “excused” if a parent conveys to the school that they fear federal immigration authorities. Immigration enforcement actions are dubbed “federal representative-related procedures” in the school’s policy, which was reaffirmed by the school board in February. “If a parent/guardian reports an absence...

Concerns are mounting in Maryland after a male teacher was found posting TikTok videos flaunting what he describes as his pregnancy and breast-implant fetish.

In Cypress, Texas, a Houston-area suburb that lures families with its high-quality education, Republicans used their two years of control on the school board to ban textbook chapters on climate change, diversity and vaccines.

A website belonging to the "Culture and Family Lab" at Minnesota’s flagship university hosts a webpage warning against a "whiteness pandemic" that provides "resources" on how to "halt and reverse" the issue. "If you were born or raised in the United States, you have grown up in the Whiteness Pandemic, and you can play a role in halting and reversing this pandemic, especially if you are White because of the power and privilege you hold in this racialized society," explains the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities webpage, which is part of the Institute of Child Development. "If you were socialized into...

The ACLJ is taking decisive action after a New York school district exposed seventh-grade students to pornographic images under the guise of an “art lesson” – and then attempted to downplay what happened. The Watertown City School District didn’t just fail its duty to protect children; it violated the constitutional rights of parents and traumatized children. We are now demanding immediate accountability. Our clients, Stephanie Boyanski and Jessy Roberts, were horrified to learn that their seventh-grade children were assigned to visit an unvetted website containing graphic sexual images as part of an art project. The teacher, Ms. Bridgette Gates, displayed...

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Teresa Crosslin went from what she called a day filled with joy to reliving one of the lowest points in her life within hours of being sworn in as the newest Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board member.

She abruptly resigned without much explanation, and rumors soon spread about a possible appearance on the reality show "Gigolos," which aired more than 10 years ago. The next day, Crosslin published an article in Clarksville Now titled...
