I SUSPECT THE TRUE NUMBER IS IN THE DOZENS, SCORES, OR EVEN HUNDREDS: 5 times universities pushed leftist ideologies during 2026 graduation ceremonies.

THE CAUSES OF THIS ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY IDEOLOGICAL, WHICH MEANS THEY ACTUALLY COME FROM THE UNIVERSITIES AND THE SO-CALLED “ED” SCHOOLS IN PARTICULAR: Professors at top California college forced to radically alter coursework as students struggle to read

DEPRESSING:  One-Third Of Americans Can Barely Read, But They Can Still Vote

As Americans gear up for our country’s 250th Independence Day, a shamefully small percentage of the rising generation truly understands what we’re celebrating. On the latest Nation’s Report Card, only 22 percent of eighth graders had a proficient understanding of civics. A measly 14 percent were proficient in U.S. history.

TWO WINNERS IN EDUCATION: MERIT PAY AND SCHOOL CHOICE However, merit pay isn’t possible where teachers’ unions rule the roost. In those districts, educators are part of an industrial-style “step and column” salary regimen, receiving raises based on years of service and on completing (often meaningless) professional development classes. Great teachers are worth more—a lot more—and should receive higher pay than their less capable colleagues. Any suggestion to expand merit pay, which would turn teachers into independent professionals, is a red flag for teachers’ unions, which view educators as identical dues-paying automatons.

Despite resistance from the teachers’ unions, we must implement merit-based pay for teachers and expand parental choice to improve educational outcomes.

The recently released scores from the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress, also known as the nation’s report card, offer little good news. The results show that 2025 test scores remain below 2012 levels for both nine- and 13-year-olds. The only positive is that nine-year-olds made slight gains since the COVID-19-related shutdowns earlier this decade.

THEN LET’S DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT Why Knowledge-Rich Curriculum Never Wins  It’s not a lack of evidence. Ideological, professional, structural, and political obstacles remain—and many of them are fixed features of American education.
