When the frizzy-haired Marxists at my local library start ranting about seizing the means of production, they’re not talking about factories anymore. They’re talking about you, your womb, & its output. We have put childless despots like this in positions of authority over our kids. They have cleverly figured out that their great nihilistic cultural project requires your children to see it through to the end. And they are coming for them. You can hear the plains vibrating as the great galloping horde approacheth your elementary school. After all, their harebrained schemes will only work if they can fool a...

The transgender William Shakespeare once said “All the world's a bedroom, and all the boys and girls merely unknowing transgenders.” The LGBTQ agenda has burst out of the bedroom and is now explicitly coming for the children. Moving hours away from the nearest leftist shithole (Dallas) may buy you a year or two, but it won’t save you. The transgender story hour is coming to a town near you and you’re going to pay for it with tax dollars. Recently, the Denton Public Library announced it would be hosting a Transgender StoryTime for children aged 2-8. The goal here obviously...

In pockets of the country, state education officials and local school boards are responding to complaints from some parents by removing books from schools and conducting widespread audits of school libraries, to weed out texts deemed inappropriate for students. But these efforts have sparked blowback from authors and advocacy groups, who say the removals -- which tend to target texts on culturally sensitive topics -- risk depriving certain students from reading books that reflect their own lives and enhance their cultural literacy. In northern Virginia, a state whose candidates for governor sparred this fall over critical race theory, a county...

Local Virginia TV stations including ABC, CBS and NBC have refused to air an ad depicting sexually explicit materials that are widely available to students in school libraries in the state, citing federal law which prohibits airing pornographic images. “It’s shocking that images, and even some words, that federal law prohibits TV stations to share with adults are the same images being shared with Virginia students with no accountability,” said Victoria Coley, vice president of communications at Independent Women’s Voice (IWV), which created the ad. The 30-second ad, titled “Worth 1,000 Words,” includes a full screen spread from Gender Queer...

**SNIP** A longtime friend of Barack Obama, Marty Nesbitt has led the fundraising efforts for the Center, whose price tag is now an estimated $830 million. In 2017, Nesbitt’s private equity fund Vistria and two other investors purchased the University of Phoenix at a bargain price. This, after Obama administration regulations caused the price of the company to crater. Years earlier, the Obama Department of Education began threatening for-profit universities with regulations which could cause damage to their profitability. In 2015, the Pentagon suspended GI Bill funding eligibility for the school as well. With the college’s income at risk, stock...

The largest public library system in the country has become the latest to eliminate all late fees.

Fines are "an antiquated, ineffective way to encourage patrons to return their books; for those who can afford...

At least two contributors to the far-left CNN network are charging that Americans simply are not smart enough to do their own research and make their own decisions about COVID and its "vaccines," which actually are more like treatments. It is Ramishah Maruf, of CNN Business, who explained, "The problem is that most people simply don't know how to do their own research, especially when it comes to understanding the complexities of medical science." Maruf quoted CNN correspondent Brian Stelter, who said that four words, "Do you own research" are hurting the U.S. pandemic response. Celebrity Nicki "Minaj helped raise...

A Chicago group made up of residents and environmentalists suing to stop construction of the Obama Presidential Center was dealt a blow Thursday after a federal judge, nominated by Obama, denied their request to halt this month's groundbreaking. Judge John Robert Blakey denied a request by several local residents and the nonprofit group Protect Our Parks, which filed the lawsuit. The suit, among other things, argues that the batch of federal reviews into the former president's $700 million center was faulty. The group claims construction would cause "irreparable harm" to the park by tearing up roads, cutting down trees, and...

In its letter to Elmbrook School District Superintendent Mark Hansen, the firm requested the removal after the parent of a 16-year-old Elmbrook student used the student's school-issued Chromebook to access a school-sponsored app, Sora, that makes the district's ebook and audiobook collection available to students and adults.
