OREM, Utah (KSL) – Students from a school in Utah are traumatized after a classmate brought a gun on a field trip and shot themselves in front of others. Police said the ninth grader from Canyon View Junior High shot themselves while on a field trip at South Fork Park. That student was flown to a local hospital, where they died. KSL does not normally report on suicides, but because the student brought a gun to school and fired it in front of other students, it brings it to another level. A group of ninth grade students put up a...

Any locals with info please share. It’s a key state for national elections.

Charlie Kirk understood that without addressing education and stopping the escalating indoctrination of children, evil would win and the West would die. He told me so repeatedly. Homeschooling and getting the government out of education entirely is not just desirable, but essential, he argued. In the aftermath of his brutal martyrdom on a college campus as he debated students, much has been said and written about Charlie’s politics, his engagement with college students and youth, his theological views, his beautiful family, his love for Christ, and his gargantuan impact on the nation. Those were all crucial parts of his legacy....

If y'all have not heard of the Fearless Debates, it's a group of young conservatives that are going in and they're taking over the Charlie Kirk events right where he left off. They'regoing to college campuses and it's awesome. But yesterday, they made th mistake of going to Tennessee State University, which is an H.B.CU. And not just that, this school proved themselves yesterday to be a racist activist school that teaches all the goodies, right? Anger, bitterness, entitlement, black power, you know, you know the BLM stuff. So obviously if I'd have heard that these kids were going in...

Much of America’s youth is in free fall, with the only question being why. On every metric, our kids lag behind the world, are abysmally unhappy and unprepared for a life that’s less kind and forgiving than it was fifty years ago. It didn’t happen by accident, and the divided nature of our country means we are unprepared to make necessary changes. Our society tolerates confrontation and excuses, always finding superficial reasons why Johnny can’t read, and why everyone’s so angry. It’s certainly not about money; we spend more per pupil than anyone else. SNIP During COVID, roughly 31% of...
