  • AI update: Do teachers feel threatened by the use of AI tools in the classroom?

    Most probably do. So much of our K-12 is conducted at a dumb level, where students and teachers know little. So how's that working out for everyone when suddenly there's a know-it-all machine in the classroom?? The AI is just dripping with factual information. Is each bit true or false or what? Who knows? Teachers are supposed to referee such questions, but the typical teacher has no idea what the AI is talking about. You can't fix this overnight. You have to start educating students and future teachers from the first grade onward. All the best that has been known...

    ***On March 10, 2020, before any government prompting, Harvard declared that it would “suspend in-person classes and shift to online learning.” Across the country, universities, schools, and state governments followed Harvard’s lead.***Schools closed in many other countries, too, but under heavy international criticism, Sweden kept its schools and daycares open for its 1.8 million children, ages one to 15. Why? While anyone can get infected, we have known since early 2020 that more than a thousandfold difference in Covid mortality risk holds between the young and the old. ...What were the results during the spring of 2020?

  • Oklahoma public schools to teach about the 2020 election ‘discrepancies’ using real data, and leftists are losing it

    How dare school teachers introduce indisputable information and ask students to draw their own conclusions! How dare public school teachers introduce hard, indisputable facts, and ask students to draw their own conclusions? Don’t they know that public schools are institutions meant to be used for the proliferation of progressivism? The teachers’ unions and leftist activists have worked so hard to eliminate silly and outdated things like arithmetic, civics, and rhetoric, replacing them with curricula like critical race theory, gender studies, and socialism—and now, Oklahoma is undoing the entire structure they’ve spent decades assembling. Under state superintendent Ryan Walters, Oklahoma is...

    New York University has denied a diploma to the student who used a graduation speech to criticize Israel and condemn the 'genocide' in Gaza. Logan Rozos, 24, gave the controversial remarks at NYU's Gallatin School commencement ceremony on Wednesday. 'My moral and political commitments guide me to say that the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time, and to a group this large, is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine,' the graduate said to roaring applause.

    Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report, which revealed a record-breaking 400k abortions for 2023-24, also shows a significant increase in spending on programs related to sex education. According to Planned Parenthood’s 2023-24 annual report, spending on sex education programs was up more than 10% (approximately $6 million) from the prior year’s reporting, with yearly increases since 2021-22. This equates to almost $60 million spent for the year and raises Planned Parenthood’s spending on sex education by $166 million since 2021-22.

    role as a fifth- and sixth-grade teacher at Lincoln Acres Elementary to manipulate her victims, luring them with gifts, special attention and even completing their homework, according to the San Diego County district attorney’s office. When one of her victims was not allowed access to social media or personal electronic devices at home, she went so far as to set up an unsanctioned after-school program and directed him to message her through a school chat application, prosecutors said. The 36-year-old teacher pleaded guilty in February to two counts of forcible lewd acts on a child, one count of a lewd...

    Shocking footage captured the moment parents exploded into a wild brawl after a children's choir concert in Texas. The melee unfolded Monday at West Plains High School in Amarillo after students finished performing for their families. Several parents were seen shoving each other in the hall, including one woman in a blue top who punched a man in the back of the head. One man in a vest appeared to be at the center of the fight when it broke out, and he was held back by several others as he squared off with another man in a white t...

    Painting the Deep South as an embarrassing cultural backwater is one of the last socially acceptable forms of prejudice among elites. It’s not just tolerated—it’s venerated. Mississippi is probably the top target. I don’t have to tell you why. You know about the poor health outcomes. The poverty. The corruption. The obesity. The Confederacy stuff. Wikipedia has an entry dedicated to the phrase “Thank God for Mississippi,” because its horrible performance on so many metrics saves other states the embarrassment of finishing last. The term has been used since at least 1945. This has made it awkward in recent years,...

    A bombshell report out of Stanford University shed light on the influence of spies from the Chinese Communist Party that the student newspaper says have likely infiltrated the prestigious institution and other universities nationwide to gather intelligence. The report, published by the Stanford Review, tells the story of a Stanford student working on sensitive research at the school – and given the name "Anna" to protect her identity – receiving unexpected messages from a man with the alias Charles Chen asking about seemingly harmless topics like networking opportunities. Those messages soon took a "strange turn," according to the outlet when...

    A school board in Colorado cannot remove sexually explicit, profane, and “transgender” books from school libraries because the school board is conservative, according to a federal judge touted as the first openly lesbian judge west of the Mississippi. The ACLU’s Colorado chapter filed a suit on behalf of two minors, the NAACP Wyoming State Area Conference, and the Authors Guild, claiming that the school district engaged in viewpoint discrimination when removing the books. The judge granted a preliminary injunction in March, forcing the Elizabeth School District (in Elizabeth, a suburb southeast of Denver) to restore the books. Judge Charlotte Sweeney...

    A bill seeking to allow Texas public and charter schools to hold voluntary prayer and readings of religious texts has stalled after lawmakers failed to take action on the legislation. The House Committee on State Affairs grappled with Senate Bill 11, which would allow school boards to decide whether to carve out time for private prayer or readings from religious texts, such as the Bible. The bill, which passed the Senate 24-6 in March, sparked intense debate last Wednesday before being left pending at the session’s close, signaling further deliberation ahead. Authored by Sen. Mayes Middleton, R-Galveston, and introduced in...

    A newly enacted Tennessee law prohibits schools from punishing employees and teachers for referring to trans-identified students by their given name and pronouns, as public school staff in other states have faced professional repercussions for declining to use trans-identified students' preferred names and pronouns. Tennessee's Republican Gov. Bill Lee signed House Bill 1270 into law Friday. Lee's approval of the legislation follows its passage by the Republican-controlled Tennessee House of Representatives in a 77-18 vote and the Republican-controlled Tennessee Senate in a 27-6 vote. The vote in the Senate fell along party lines, with all support for the measure coming...

    Many parents believe sex education is simply part of a standard education, but a closer look at its origins paints a disturbing picture of its true nature. Few are aware that some of the power players in sex education today have an extensive history with the porn industry, direct ties to a researcher who recruited pedophiles for his ‘research,’ and ties to a man who wanted to destigmatize bestiality. Many of the founders and originating leaders of SIECUS (originally known as the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States) — a member of the Future of Sex Education...
