If one of the priorities of our government is to ensure that children get the best possible education, then it’s clear that the Democrats have a different priority in mind. This past week, the majority in Congress, led by Dick Durbin on the Senate side and José Serrano on the House side, working in cahoots [...]

I am amazed that Howard Zinn is seen as an honest intellectual. How can you consider someone smart who writes such drivel as this? Around 1776, certain important people in the English colonies made a discovery that would prove enormously useful for the next two hundred years. They found that by creating a nation, a [...]

This morning, one of my friends, Teri Christoph tweeted one of the most amazing things I’ve read in quite a while. Her kids are students in the Fairfax County (VA) public school system where they are getting into the Christmas Holiday Winter Break spirit by building the old, familiar traditional storybook structures with which we’re [...]

This morning, at the AIP blog, I wrote about how the Democrats don’t really believe your money belongs to you.

With the goal of creating a “restorative school culture and climate” that conveys a “sense of belonging to all students,” the board [...]

Barack Obama will bore our schoolchildren for 18 minutes today with a speech wherein he will don his Big Government Daddy outfit and admonishes them to stay in school and work hard and other similar uplifting sentiments. The President apparently doesn’t know much about the attention span of the average school-aged child, which is surprising [...]

Um, oops. In an acknowledgment that the Department of Education provided lesson plans written somewhat inartfully, surrounding the President Obama’s speech to students next Tuesday, the White House today announced that it had rewritten one of the sections in question. President Obama will talk to students from Pre K thru 12th grade about personal responsibility [...]
