Gwyneth Paltrow Delighted That Second-Grade Daughter Is Learning About Homosexuality at School

Posted on by Dave Blount

We let halfwit Hollyweird degenerates steer the course of our culture, so why not formally put them in charge of bringing up the next generation? We could make Gwyneth Paltrow Secretary of Education. She would be a smooth fit with other prominent figures in the federal education bureaucracy, considering opinions like this: Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, […]

 

Unionists Next Target for Destruction: Apple, Inc.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A four-year Apple store employee in San Francisco wants to unionize the low wage workers that help customers in Apple Stores across America. Should he succeed, this will, of course, take one of the few successful companies we have left in America, hobble it with jobs-killing union rules, and destroy its jobs like the rest […]

 

“Crazy U”

Posted on by Craig Newmark

More from Andrew Ferguson’s: Crazy U. Here are another two choice bits: We suffer from a built-in confusion of means and ends. We want college (the means) to produce results (the ends) that it wasn’t built for. With its ample time for leisure, its relatively light workload, its often leafy setting, its discursive methods of instruction, […]

 

Goshen College: The Star Spangled Banner Is Anti-Christian And “Too Divisive.”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Over at anti-American U AKA Goshen College, they’ve banned the Star Spangled Banner — even if they’re too gutless to tell the truth about it. In a Facebook message posted Wednesday afternoon, Indiana’s Goshen College distanced itself from rumors that it had “banned” the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner” at sports games because the […]

 

Big Government Comes Out of the Closet at Federal LGBT Youth Summit

Posted on by Dave Blount

Once again our rulers confirm that encouraging homosexuality is a major aspect of the liberal agenda: Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius spoke at the first “Federal LGBT Youth Summit” on Monday after being introduced by a homosexual on her staff, who said the secretary “gets us” and is “tireless” in her support of […]

 

New York Times Columnist Kristof’s Foolishness

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof is a simpleton. There is really no other way to say it, no gentler phrasing possible, to explain how childish and uncluttered his tiny little mind really is. The latest example of his utter inability to think clearly can be seen in Kristof’s screed against Americans that love America. […]

 

L.A. Times Tim Rutten, Historical Idiot

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Tim Rutten is a left-wing, hack writer from L.A. He is always good for contemporary left wing trope but the other day we discovered that he is also good for the sort of uninformed blathering that leftists of his ilk pretend is American history. Chiefly that of America’s religious history and the so-called “wall of […]

 

N.J. Courts Not Interested in Democracy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Most Americans are under the mistaken assumption that we as voters can elect someone to make changes in our government. Whether the government of our city, county, state or that in Washington DC we voters have this romantic idea that we can affect change by electing people to office that will make those changes. The […]

 

Q&A Friday #106: Are We Failing To Educate Boys?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Question: A civic organization I belong to recently gave out our annual scholarship to a senior at our local high school. We had 22 applications from females, and one from a male. The high school’s student body government is completely made up of girls. At my daughter’s academic awards ceremony this week, they passed out […]

 

Children’s Book Publisher Collapses to Radical Environmentalist Pressure

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Extremist environmentalists have won yet another victory for propagandizing our children in schools by forcing Scholastic Books to junk a proposed energy-themed classroom education packet that treated the subject in a more even handed mode in favor of a program that only pushes extremist enviro policies. Yes, once again, the hard-core, anti-capitalist left has won […]

 

Two More Stories on Stupid Liberal Schools

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

PCism is for idiots. It really is just that simple. It’s bad enough when you find it in the private sector with silliness such as sensitivity training. But at least there, adults can just ignore the stupidity and carry on. When it comes to PC indoctrination of our impressionable kids, well that is another matter […]

 

Good to See University Students Acting Patriotically For A Change… But…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Today a left-wing, anti-American student at Louisiana State University wanted to burn a flag for, he claimed, “due process for students and suspected terrorists alike.” Yeah. Whatever. As it happens, the students he was claiming to represent didn’t seem to appreciate his idea, though. Several hundred of them turned out to the place where he […]

 

Kid’s Drawing of Old Glory Suppressed

Posted on by Dave Blount

The American flag represents our country, our Constitution, our history, and our Armed Forces, yet it doesn’t represent our government, which is dominated by people hostile to everything it stands for. This is why Old Glory strikes the eye as a jarringly artificial prop when used as a backdrop by our progressive rulers. It’s also […]

 

Government Cameras Record What Kids Eat

Posted on by Dave Blount

You can hardly blame Big Government for spending us to the edge of total economic collapse. It costs money to monitor and regulate every imaginable aspect of human behavior. For example, in a San Antonio elementary school, bureaucrats are installing high-tech cameras in the cafeteria to record what kids put on their lunch trays and […]

 

U.S. University Giving Award to Anti-American, Terror Supporting Al-Jazeera TV

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Columbia University announced last week that its Graduate School of Journalism is awarding its highest award to America’s enemies, Al-Jazeera TV. The university is awarding Al-Jazeera with its journalism award for the Arab-centric mid eastern “news” it has produced. Al-Jazeera is apparently being recognized for “singular journalism in the public interest.” “Al Jazeera English has […]

 

2 + 2 = We Must Raise Taxes Because White People Are Bad

Posted on by Dave Blount

Since moonbattery is a totalitarian ideology, nothing escapes from its poisonous lies — not even mathematics. Teachers unsure how to pass off indoctrination in race-based Marxism (a.k.a. “social justice”) as a math class can find resources to assist them at Radical Math: There are at least two related ideas behind “Social Justice Math”. The first […]

 

Talking with Jesse Kornbluth again, this time about whether Harvard grads get a free pass

Posted on by Bookworm

Jesse Kornbluth was again good enough to visit my post commenting upon his article lauding Andrew Sullivan as a blogger amongst bloggers. If I was a guy, and he and I had met in person, I would have slapped up on the back with a cheery “Hey, Jesse man, great to see you again.” I’ve […]

 

Harvard Magazine and the Left’s Andrew Sullivan love affair

Posted on by Bookworm

Speaking of Harvard, I just got a gander at Harvard Magazine, which has a smugly grinning Andrew Sullivan on the cover, as the exemplar of “The New Media.” I thought the article would be about bloggers generally, but the table of contents tells me I’m wrong: “World’s Best Blogger?” it asks. It then explains that […]

 

Wisc. Democrats Use Recall Petition Info to Harass Voters

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In yet another union-styled outrage, Democrats backed by union thugs in Wisconsin are using the personal information of voters found on recall petitions to harass them because they signed a petition to recall Green Bay Democrat State Senator Dave Hansen. Over the last few weeks thousands of Wisconsin voters signed a recall petition in Green […]

 

$5.4 Million Spent on Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is an amazing amount of money to be spent on a mere state supreme court race but this one was for all the marbles in Wisconsin as far as both sides were concerned, so I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. Wisconsin Democracy Campaign broke out its calculator and came up with a whopping amount […]

 

Judge Prosser Declared Winner, Left Loses BIG In Wisconsin Union Fight

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A county canvas of votes for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice is finished and the result shows that Judge David Prosser, a 12-year veteran of the courts, won reelection over his union-backed opponent. Judge David Prosser’s total now officially stands at 752,323 votes to challenger Joanne F. Kloppenburg’s 745,007. This spread represents a 0.488% margin and […]

 

Chicago School Accuses Parents of Poisoning Children

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The nanny state in the people’s republic of Chicago rears its ugly head once again where a school principal has accused parents of trying to poison their own children with “unhealthy” bag lunches. And so, in her infinite wisdom, Principal Elsa Carmona had banned all lunches brought from home. I guess it’s just a coincidence […]

 

Putting the sexual identity cart before the accomplishment horse

Posted on by Bookworm

Okay, I’ll admit that my post title is awkward, but it sums up what California State Senator Mark Leno is trying to do in California public schools: namely, put a person’s sexuality front and center, with a tag-on coda about the person’s actual accomplishments. This isn’t the first time a gay California legislator has tried […]

 

Easter Eggs to Be Called Spring Spheres

Posted on by Dave Blount

Make sure to revise your copy of the Newspeak dictionary so that you are not caught using incorrect terminology until the next official edition is published. As part of the ongoing campaign to eradicate even oblique references to Christianity from our culture, Easter eggs are henceforth to be referred to as spring spheres. From moonbatty […]

 

Teachers Union Backs Cop Killer

Posted on by Dave Blount

If their wanton destruction of the quality of education and their willingness to bankrupt state governments out of pathological greed aren’t enough to convince you of the profound malignancy of teachers unions, maybe this will do the job: Between negotiating for more benefits and teaching their students, the California Federation of Teachers has adopted a […]

 

Nat’l Teachers Union Chief Steals Reporter’s Story for Speech Without Attribution

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I guess being the president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) means not having to do your own homework. Just ask AFT President Randi Weingarten. Weingarten was caught using verbatim and without attribution the work of a journalist from New York in a speech she gave a week ago. Usually this is called plagiarism […]
