After the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at his Saturday campaign rally, one Baltimore, Maryland professor is claiming that she and other Black Americans justifiedly wish that the attempt to kill “evil” Trump had been successful. In a July 15 opinion piece published by NewsOne, Dr. Stacey Patton, a professor at Morgan State University, wrote of hypotheticals surrounding a successful attempt, stating that Black Americans “are wishing for the death of evil”. The piece, titled “‘Is He Dead?’ Why Black People Are Not Grieving The Failed Assassination Of Donald Trump”, explores how Black Americans would supposedly have responded...

The other day, I was tooling around at the grocery store and, in line to check out, I noticed a clothes hamper in the shopping cart in front of me. I thought it was pretty nice. I said so to the person pushing the cart.Yes, I know it is awkward to strike up such conversations but I’m glad I did. I quickly found that the shopper was not buying for himself but for a customer of Instacart, an online ordering service. He was working and shopping as a customer himself.Intrigued, I asked other questions. He has a university degree, recently...

American Federation of Teachers boss Randi Weingarten has been ripped as an “unhinged lunatic” after she delivered a wild, political rally-style speech suggesting that former President Donald Trump was an “existential threat” to democracy. The teachers’ union president screamed and shouted at her members as she warned of looming violence and fascism if Trump wins the 2024 election when she took the stage during the AFT’s annual convention in Houston, Texas, on Monday. “The November elections will determine which path we take as a nation. Progress is indeed possible, but so is the eradication of the rights and freedoms we...

A professor at Rutgers University posted to Facebook after someone tried to kill former President Donald Trump, writing “Let’s hope today’s events inspire others.” A source provided Campus Reform with the Facebook posts, which were made by Rutgers University Writing Program Assistant Teaching Professor Tracy Budd in the hours after someone tried to assassinate Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. ”Let’s hope today’s events inspire others,” Budd said in one post. ”They shot his wig. Sad,” Budd wrote in another. Budd’s Facebook is set to private, but her cover picture contains a poster at a protest that read: “Capitalism...

“District leadership tried to ruin my life but instead destroyed the life of an innocent 16-year-old girl, they destroyed her high school career and life-long memories and experiences," Jessica Norton said on behalf of her daughter....

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has reached a settlement on behalf of The Satanic Temple (TST), according to a recent press release, after a judge ruled the Shelby County Board of Education in Memphis, TN, violated TST’s First Amendment rights by trying to stop the formation of an “After School Satan Club. It’s not an unexpected blow, given that The Satanic Temple is “the only Satanic religious organization recognized as a church by the IRS and the Federal court system.” In this case, the after-school club was advertised as consisting of” fun” and “exciting” activities for the children, including science...

Joe will never stop working to make higher education affordable.

No longer a Bellarmine employee’ Bellarmine University Professor John James is out of work after appearing to joke about the failed assassination attempt against President Donald Trump. “If you’re gonna shoot, man, don’t miss,” the English professor wrote on Instagram after last Saturday’s shooting that took off part of the president’s ear during a rally in Pennsylvania. The Catholic university in Louisville announced soon after that James would be placed on “unpaid leave,” although the social media post did not name him. “Words and actions that condone violence are unacceptable and contrary to our values, which call for respecting the...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill this week that allows schools to hide information from parents about their child’s gender identity.AB 1955 is the first of its kind in the United States. It prohibits school staff “from enacting or enforcing any policy, rule or administrative regulation that requires an employee or a contractor to disclose any information related to a pupil’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression to any other person without the pupil’s consent.”The law—which passed through both chambers of the state’s Democrat-controlled Assembly—means that children can identify by their biological sex at home and a different...

America’s second-largest teacher’s union has drafted a group of resolutions calling for the end of US military aid to Israel — and defending the anti-Israel protests that have rocked campuses across the country. The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) — which is affiliated with the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) that represents most teachers in New York City public schools — will vote on the controversial proposals at its national convention starting in Houston next Monday.One of the resolutions, which calls for a cease-fire between the Jewish State and the terror group Hamas, demands a halt to US military assistance...

A California judge has ruled that teachers were right to punish a seven-year-old girl over a Black Lives Matter drawing because 'she's too young to have First Amendment rights.' The first grader was banned from recess and drawing pictures at Viejo Elementary in Orange County after she added the words 'any life' below Black Lives Matter on a picture she drew and and gave to a black friend. The picture showed the words 'Black Lives Matter' with four round shapes in various different tones of brown, beige and yellow, which was intended to 'represent her friends' who were 'racially-mixed'.

Robyn Rogers, 44, was arrested on Thursday, July 11 and charged with three counts of sexual conduct with a minor, among other charges

After years of pushback from parents, a Planned Parenthood facility located in a high school is being shut down. The Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District (NLMUSD) in southern California, which serves mostly minority families, signed a three-year agreement with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to have a “well-being center” at John Glenn High School; by 2022, parents discovered that it was being operated by Planned Parenthood, and were outraged. In addition to testing students for sexually transmitted infections, providing treatment for STIs, and providing contraception of various kinds (including birth control pills and even IUDs), the well-being...

Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters is defending his decision to issue a directive that calls for the inclusion of the Bible in public school classrooms. Recently, Walters garnered national attention when he announced that he was changing public school social studies standards to make the Bible more of a focal point in the curriculum. In an interview with The Christian Post on Thursday, Walters defended his directive, explaining that “it is of the utmost importance that our kids get a full understanding of American history.” “Obviously, that includes the most read book in American history, the most purchased...

The number of children being educated at home has been growing for the past few decades. No one knows by how much, and that is part of the problem. Home­school­ing is barely tracked or regulated in the U.S. But children deserve a safe and robust education, whether they attend a traditional school or are educated at home.The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reported that by last count, in 2019, nearly 3 percent of U.S. children—1.5 million—were being home­schooled. This number, calculated from a nationwide survey, is surely an undercount because the home­schooling population is notoriously hard to survey, and...

Last Friday, the National Education Association (NEA) abruptly cancelled its annual convention, scheduled for July 4-7, after just one day of official proceedings in Philadelphia. The shutdown of the Representative Assembly (RA) was in response to a strike by the union representing NEA staffers, the National Education Association Staff Organization (NEASO). Timing a three-day strike for the convention, NEA staffers based at the union’s Washington D.C. headquarters greeted delegates arriving at the Philadelphia Convention Center with picket lines. The NEASO contract expired June 30 and the staffers’ union staged the walkout as an unfair labor practices action. The NEA informed...

"A terrorist with money and power will not become an angel, but a better-financed terrorist." Dr. Shmuel Katz, a leading activist in the U.S. for Israel advocacy, and one of the founders of Stand With Us spoke to Arutz Sheva-Israel National News as Israel continues its war against Hamas in Gaza, and particularly in Rafah, the terrorist organization’s last stronghold there. Dr. Katz says he “would like to make sure that everyone understands that this process is not a retaliation of Israel against Hamas. Israel was attacked by Hamas. Hamas are vicious killers who respect nobody. They don’t respect Jews....

Despite the best efforts of leftist activists, many nonwhite parents are fighting back against the LGBT agenda infecting public schools.Like many left-leaning public school districts across America, the leadership of Fairfax County Public Schools just outside our nation’s capital is majority white, despite the region’s racial diversity. Meanwhile, the district’s white, leftist leaders, who incessantly claim to be inclusive, are ironically ignoring parental objections to teaching radical gender ideology in schools.At the end of June, the school board voted to include gender ideology in its seventh-grade sex-education curriculum. In response to a survey in which 84 percent of respondents opposed...
