Call Them What They Are: Welfare Schools

March 24, 2023 Ian Underwood

Anyone who knows me has heard me quote Confucius: The first step towards wisdom is to call things by their right names. What we call things determines how we think about them and how we act toward them. This is why it’s time for us to stop using the term public school and replace it with … Read more

What Kind of Parent?

March 20, 2023 Ian Underwood

September 20, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Are Caucasians Victims of Planned Obsolescence?

August 14, 2022 Ray Cardello

With all of the negativity surrounding us with the current state of our nation, one questions whether it is a collection of random policies or is there a master plan.

What Is Education’s Role in America Today?

May 24, 2022 Op-Ed

I want to say that I am a strong advocate for our public school system in the order of the excellent education I received 56 years ago.

This is what parents want and this is what Commissioner Edelblut wants in my conversations with him.

Could the Political Response to COVID Save Public Education?

February 11, 2022 Op-Ed

Public Education is Broken

July 30, 2025December 21, 2021 Steve MacDonald

I had a chat this morning with Liz Gabert about COVID Era Public Education, and some of the issues with public schools in General. I’d classify it as “easy listening” unless you are some union-schooly-tool. Then you might need a few antacids and a trip to your therapist. 12m 36s You can also iHeart Radio

August 23, 2021 Michael Moffett

Democrat Governor Kate Brown recently signed Oregon’s Senate Bill 744, ending graduation proficiency requirements. Sad but true. The Beaver State will allow students to graduate from high school that can’t read, write, or do the math – in line with national “dumbing down” movements.

July 20, 2021July 19, 2021 Skip

“Schools exist for the education of children. Schools do not exist to provide iron-clad jobs for teachers, billions of dollars in union dues for teachers unions, monopolies for educational bureaucracies, a guaranteed market for teachers college degrees or a captive audience for indoctrinators.”

PROTECTING the INSTITUTION and NOT YOUR CHILD

February 25, 2021 Ann Marie Banfield

I’ve been advocating for parental rights and excellence in education for over a decade in New Hampshire. I’ve done this without any compensation. I’ve never looked for those kinds of rewards; I’ve done it because it’s the right thing to do.
