Here’s Jay Leno’s Jaywalking. The holiday we have coming up is Independence Day (not “the fourth of July”) which occurs on July 4. You need to watch this to the very end to see a perfect example of how we’ve been dumbed down from generation to generation. If you haven’t already, start the tradition of [...]

Mr. Bradshaw gives some advice to a high school senior on what he can do this summer to prepare for college next year. Who would’ve thought that upgrading your email address would be on the checklist? This also is the time to upgrade your e-mail address. Names like “hotbabe” or “Ihatetests” are not going to [...]

I have a feeling that this isn’t the only teacher practicing this technique: One of the duties of the Texas SBOE is to “designate and mandate instruction in the knowledge and skills that are essential to a well-balanced curriculum” and to deter such actions like the one exemplified by Schafly below: For years, liberals have [...]
I do not blame this mother for being upset. Not only was her grandchild murdered, this is something that is going to adversely effect her daughter for the rest of her life. With government mandated health care now in place, we are going to see more instances like this–not just with abortions, but with vaccinations, [...]

I have reported many times in the pages of the DeWeese Report about how public school classrooms are being used, not for the teaching of academic knowledge, but for behavior modification to change the student’s attitudes, values and beliefs. Barack Obama is now driving to control classroom curriculum based on United Nation’s Globalism. Many parents [...]
We’ve all heard of school districts handing out laptop computers as study aids for their students. Assuming that the computers remain property of the school, it is common sense to think that the school has the right to confiscate the laptops or search their hard drives at any time. Many laptops these days come with [...]

Be sure to click through to the video. It’s unbelievable that teachers would put mints in prescription pill bottles and tell students to take them when they get nervous over a test. Let’s just teach kids that the cure for everything is a pill, why don’t we? On top of that, the pill bottles were [...]

Be sure to click through to Hot Air and watch the video. It’s great. Besides, any government monopoly that 44% of the Senate and 36% of the House avoid is one that should be either ended or forced to compete on a more even basis with private-sector suppliers. via Hot Air » Blog Archive » [...]
The basic problem is the lack of fathers in the home. And why didn’t these kids have fathers in the home? For the majority of them, the reason is the liberal welfare system which transformed the people who were given “free” money called “welfare” into a society of single moms. In this matriarchy, fathers were [...]
This morning I listened to Debbie Sessler’s account of how she and her sister survived as prisoners during the Holocaust. You can listen to it by downloading today’s (Jan 25) podcast from 8:00 am. This is a great history lesson/reminder for us all. You’ll be glad you took the time to listen. Hat’s off to Brian Sussman [...]
Where’s the safest place for your kiddo to be on a frigid, snowy day? You might think it’s at home with Mom and/or Dad. Not so, says this government school official:

BLUE MOON ON NEW YEAR’S EVE: Believe it or not, tonight’s full Moon is a “Blue Moon.” It’s the second full Moon this month and the first Blue Moon to fall on New Year’s Eve in nearly 20 years. Sounds like a rare excuse for a party… There’s more. In Europe, Africa and Asia, the [...]
After incurring and paying off $32,000 in student loans, Ken Ilgunas was determined to attend grad school debt free.

Each day before the school bus comes to pick up the neighborhood’s children, Lisa Snyder did a favor for three of her fellow moms, welcoming their children into her home for about an hour before they left for school. All was well and good until a nosey neighbor complained. I’m interested to know what there [...]

Saratoga Springs school district does not allow school children to ride their bikes or walk to school. What? That’s right. Somehow this school district believes they can dictate what mode of transportation children can take to school. If walking and bike riding is not allowed, I suppose that leaves riding the bus or being driven [...]

If you think religion isn’t being taught in schools, think again. ‘See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can deliver from [...]

President Obama will be speaking to millions of school children across the nation on Tuesday, September 8. “What’s this all about?” you might ask. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of [...]

Can a School Library Be Replaced by E-Readers? Apparently, it Can. Instead of the 20,000 books the school currently has, the students of Cushing Academy will have 18 e-readers at their disposal. The learning centre – the replacement for what was once the school’s library – will also have three large TVs, a coffee shop, [...]

I, David William Hedrick, a member of the silent majority, decided that I was not going to be silent anymore. So, I let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it. I was one questioner out of 38, that was called at random from an audience that started at 3,000 earlier in the evening. Not expecting to [...]

Let’s say there is a kid in school, a 13-year-old girl. We’ll call her Jane. But there was this judge, you see, who ordered Jane into this rotten homeschooling environment, because he felt she needed a “more well-rounded education.” The judge thought her old school “had done a good job,” and it was great for [...]
A new study shows that what’s in your blood (not your genes) is what determines your SAT score! Nearly half of the change in the national average SAT score can be attributed to variations in lead in the blood, the study says. Sixty-five percent of the fluctuation of the math score and 45 percent of [...]

John McCain on education: We need more choice and competition in K through 12. Obama on education/bigger government: We have to have a universal program of early childhood education not just pre k but also starting with parents who are at risk so that when that child is born, we’re working with the parents to [...]
Planned Parenthood has launched a website targeted towards teens called "Take Care Down There." Yes, it’s just what you’re thinking. When you visit the website, a video automatically starts playing. This video features a teenager that appears to drop her drawers and then ask other teens (including a boy) if they "see anything down there." [...]
