    A math camp without…math. Sure, if math comes up they’ll talk about it. But really, “queer” kids, that’s up to you! The point is that you “queeries” get to express your identity! Thanks, Mathematical Association of America! The Mathematical Association of America is not some radical group of Left-wing ideologues; or rather, it didn’t use to be. It is almost 110 years old and used to exist to promote the study and use of … mathematics. Now, apparently, it exists as a place to provide grooming for high school kids into the alphabet cult. Let’s take a look at the...
  • Hey, Hey! Ho, Ho! Here's a Big Reason Why Portland's Antifa Seems to Have a Never-Ending Supply of Rioters

    Ever wonder why there seems to be a limitless supply of Antifa terrorists in Portland, Ore., year after year, riot after riot, conflagration after conflagration? Why there’s no shortage of purple-haired screamers willing to toss Molotov cocktails, tag buildings with old-timey revolutionary slogans, set GOP headquarters on fire, firebomb pregnancy clinics, punch people they don’t like, loot stores, and point lasers into the eyes of police officers? Wonder no more. The Antifa summer camp for kids is back this summer for the first time since their fellow travelers in communist China unleashed the COVID-19 virus on the world. Once again,...

    DUNCANVILLE, Texas — Police on Monday shot and killed a man who showed up at a Duncanville summer camp with a gun and then exchanged shots with officers, officials said. No children, camp staffers or police were injured in the incident, which unfolded shortly after 8:30 a.m. at the Duncanville Fieldhouse. The location is an indoor sports and fitness venue where more than 150 children were attending a summer camp. Police began receiving calls at 8:43 a.m. about a person with a gun and shots fired, according to a police news release. Officers arrived two minutes later, at 8:45 a.m.,...

    A new report argues a yearslong abuse scandal from a prominent former director at Branson-area Kanakuk Kamps was more widespread and systemic than reported before. The report, published Sunday on The Dispatch, includes new documents, interviews and analysis about the years Peter Newman rose from the ranks of counselor to camp director and how he abused young boys along the way. Newman pleaded guilty to seven counts of sexually abusing boys in 2010 and received a sentence that would put him in prison for the rest of his life, but that was just "the tip of a terrible iceberg," the...
  • "Sexy Sex Camp" Is Worse Than It First Appeared

    I briefly mentioned another "Sex Camp" in Quick Hits yesterday. That one in Indianapolis This one -- in Kentucky -- might be worse. The only positive I can think of is that this is not being forced on children by agents of the state through compulsory government "education." This is a private organization, and they're telling parents right up front: We're going to teach your kids how to masturbate with a "hands on" demonstration ("on hands!," they emphasize), and we're going to teach them about the joys and wonders of homosexuality and transgenderism. So this isn't Trojan Horse stuff. They're...
  • Coming soon: An Orthodox Jewish survivalist camp – for the unvaccinated only

    With summer coming and COVID-19 vaccines being deemed safe for children as young as 12, some camps are talking about the possibility of a mask-free summer for vaccinated campers. But one Jewish camp being planned for the summer is taking a different approach: barring any vaccinated camper or staff from attending at all. Advertisements for Camp Hikon, planned for upstate New York, have recently appeared on email listservs popular in the Orthodox Jewish community. The camp’s announcement also comes as posters encouraging people not to get the COVID-19 vaccines appeared in Midwood, Brooklyn. “We regret that we will be unable...

    Philip Klein notes that Fauci couldn’t stop himself from laughing here while half-heartedly spinning the new rules, which have been attacked even by experts as absurdly onerous. He knows they’re garbage so he’s keen to reassure Savannah Guthrie that they’re constantly being updated and relaxed as more data is gathered. Just be patient! The CDC might acknowledge they’re ridiculous soon enough! But a health bureaucrat is still a bureaucrat. Forced to choose between dissenting on the science and standing by an agency he works with, he opted to present a united front. Better that Americans receive unanimous bad advice from...

    They have been shown how to handle an automatic rifle and learnt about patriotic upbringing. Thousands of kids across Russia took part in this summer's camps co-organized by the Russian National Guard. Children and youth from all over the country are returning to school, some of them with summer experiences from camps organized by Russia’s para-military National Guard, Rosgvardia. “Summer holiday with the Rosgvardiya” has been a nation-wide campaign in “patriotic upbringing” initiated and carried out by armed men in uniform. In the far northern Yamal-Nenets region, kids have not only learnt ways to prevent accidents and cope in nature....

    I'm so old I can remember when disseminating communist propaganda in public schools was frowned upon. Last Friday afternoon, I was sitting at my computer when I received an email from Peachjar. This is a service used by several school districts near me in the Portland area that sends home digital fliers to parents in lieu of paper fliers to advertise extracurricular activities sponsored by various groups in the community. My son's middle school uses this service, and I receive a few emails a month from them. I've used the service myself to send advertisements for recruiting events for Scouts,...

    Ahh, summer vacation -- a time for kids to enjoy slip n' slides, lemonade stands, and...training to become the next generation of Antifa? The folks over at PJ Media flagged this story yesterday. Out of the far-left city of Portland, Oregon comes "Budding Roses Summer Camp." PJ Media's Jeff Reynolds received an online flyer for summer activities for elementary school kids. Part of that notice was the oh-so-kid-friendly offer of sending his children to "free social justice summer camps and year-round workshops for Portland-area youth in 4th-8th grade." A closer look at the group's website reveals that this includes "a...

    EL CERRITO, Calif. (AP) — In some ways, California’s Rainbow Day Camp is very conventional, with kids making friendship bracelets, playing basketball and singing songs. But in other ways, it’s extraordinary unique. The day camp in El Cerrito, in the San Francisco Bay Area, caters to transgender and “gender fluid’ children, ages 4 to 12. Experts say it’s one of the only camps of its kind in the world open to preschoolers. Rainbow officials say the camp gives kids a safe, fun place to be themselves. The camp’s enrollment has tripled since it opened in 2015, and plans are underway...

    RICHMOND — The arrest of a middle school teacher on suspicion of child sexual abuse this week has raised questions about the West Contra Costa Unified School District's hiring practices, because the teacher was hired while police were investigating him. Ron Guinto, 32, of Vallejo, was arrested about 7:45 a.m. Wednesday in the parking lot of Mira Vista Elementary School. The seventh-grade English and science teacher is expected to be charged with 11 counts of lewd acts on a child under 14 years old, two counts of forced oral copulation and one count of assault with intent to commit sodomy,...

    Well, it's that time of year again. I get multiple calls from various charities--paid callers for The Police Athletic League seem particularly active--asking me for money so they can send an inner-city youth to a summer camp. I always ask a charity for an audited financial statement before I'll consider giving. Honest charities should be willing to do this. I do this because years ago I found one well-known charity that collected more than $33 million, but "after expenses" paid only $18000 to the actual charity. The rest was "admin and marketing expenses". Well, yesterday I got the Summer Camp...

    LONG ISLAND, NY, July 17, 2013 (LifeSiteNews) – Young boys preening in front of mirrors putting on makeup, picking flowers in skirts, and prancing in heels and dresses at a talent show: all these are depicted in controversial photoessay, featured on Slate this week, documenting an annual summer camp for gender confused boys. The images are drawing praise from gay activists, and criticisms from pro-family leaders. For the last three years, photographer Lindsay Morris has attended the four-day-long camp for “gender variant” boys from 6 to 16 and their families held in an undisclosed location in New England. Morris refers...
