    Did Glasgow Deliver ‘Blah, Blah, Blah’?0

    At the end of the first week of the Glasgow climate summit, 100,000 protesters marched to denounce the attendees as phonies who will never honor their commitments to curb carbon emissions. Despite pledges by 100 nations to reduce methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030, and by 20 nations, including the U.S., to end financing

    No, You Don’t Need to be ‘Qualified’ to Homeschool Your Children0

    Over the years, I’ve heard so many parents dismiss the possibility of homeschooling their children because they don’t feel “qualified.” “I’m not a teacher.” “I’m not good at math.” “I wasn’t good at X in school, so I could never teach my child that subject.” All these assumptions stem from a fallacy about what education

    It’s Time to Call Out Higher Education for What It Really Is0

    There is little doubt that Glenn Youngkin would have lost the Virginia gubernatorial race if he had not attacked Critical Race Theory and rejected the mindset that says boys must be treated as girls if they identify as female. In Loudon County, that mindset reportedly led public school officials to shelter a “skirt-wearing male student”

    Let’s Hear it for Risky Playgrounds0

    Germany is adding MORE RISK to its playgrounds. Some of its climbing structures are now three stories high. And who is requesting this? Insurance companies! They want kids to grow up “risk competent.” Ironically, “safety” culture is stunting kids’ risk assessing abilities. “This is fantastic progress in understanding childhood as the right time for children

    Twitter’s COVID Propaganda Campaign0

    If you want a glimpse of modern propaganda at work, you need look no further than the trends that grace the Twitter sidebar. I started watching them more seriously a few months ago when some of the headlines about COVID-related issues sounded far more certain—or perhaps arrogant is the better word—than it seemed they plausibly

    This Is Why I Ran0

    During and after my unsuccessful eight-week campaign for governor of California, I received many letters and tried to reply to as many as I could. These stood out. Dear Mr. Elder, Hi, my name is Henrique Del Monte (not his real name) and I am incarcerated at Corcoran State Prison (in California), where I am

    Glenn Youngkin’s Simple Playbook for Winning Virginia0

    In the aftermath of Glenn Youngkin’s win in the Virginia gubernatorial race, the victorious Republican appears to have written the playbook for the resurgence of his party. Youngkin taught three lessons in his victorious schooling of Democrat Terry McAuliffe. Lesson number one: Campaign on issues people care about. Virginians cared about education, they cared about

    I Was Fired From My Teaching Job for Refusing to Get Vaccinated0

    Until recently, I was a California teacher working in two charter schools, one as a full-time classroom teacher of Government/Economics and sometimes U.S. History, and the other as a part-time independent study teacher who assists families with a program primarily based around homeschooling. I have taught for about five years and love teaching. Last week,

    Fighting the Woke Asylum Through Natural Law0

    “Academics repeatedly declare the natural law to be dead,” observed former Notre Dame law professor Anton-Hermann Chroust. “But every twenty-five years or so it comes in again by the back door when some crisis shows the failure of utilitarian positivism.” America seems to be at such a crisis point, with the dominance of “wokeism” and the
