CULTURAL CHAOS AND OUR KIDS While many kids are allowed to navigate the dark corners of the internet on their own, they are bizarrely prohibited from exploring their own neighborhoods.

When it comes to raising and educating children, our nation faces major problems that must be addressed.

Born in 1947, I was a baby boomer and fortunate to grow up in the 1950s. I was raised in a traditional two-parent home in Queens, a residential part of New York City. I could walk out the front door of my garden apartment and be surrounded by many boys my age. I had a typical childhood for that time, playing football without a helmet, wrestling with friends, and staying out without parental supervision until it grew dark. In school, I learned the ABCs, the 1, 2, 3s, and unbiased American history.

AND YET TEST SCORES ARE DOWN—WAY DOWN! Imagine if we just gave each child $40k and said, “you can spend this on a private school education.” Just so we’re clear, the Education Deep State is NOT about educating children first and foremost. It’s about the Education Deep State.

YOU DO KNOW THAT MAY DAY CELEBRATES COMMUNISM, RIGHT? Wisconsin School District Cancels School After Staff Plans Mass Absence For May Day Protests

Ever-present busybody Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers and a longtime advocate of government intervention, is very much in favor of community schools.

State-run community schools weaken families by assuming roles traditionally held by parents.

The idea of so-called community schools dates back to the early 20th-century Progressive Era. This plan turns schools into one-stop shops for families and is accompanied by so-called wraparound services staffed by—typically unionized—government workers. It blurs the lines between parents and the state, thereby undermining the sanctity of the parent-child bond.

WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN TO SAY THAT A TEACHER IS “CERTIFIED”? “Certified” by whom? I think we all know the answer.
