The University of Washington gets an "F" on the free speech rankings from FIRE - fourth worst in the nation!  See this excellent blog from UW Professor Cliff Mass.  Should a conservative professor try to get a job there, to offer a diverse viewpoint, they are out of luck.  See this statement from their job application: A one-page diversity statement describing your identity, positionality, experience and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and alignment to the APA's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Framework. In addition, describe your philosophy of teaching and learning, including how your work will further the College of Education’s commitment to racial equity and social justice.

When Progressives fail, they change the definition of success.  While OSPI has previously been transparent in their failure, they are now going underground.  Dismal scores used to be reported as "proficient," and then changed to "college ready without remediation."  Last year, they added a metric: "foundational" which made scores look better.  This year, they have removed proficient/college ready.  What does "foundational" mean according to the Smarter Balanced Assessment Coalition (SBAC): "foundational" refers to Level 2, indicating that a student has basic skills but may not fully meet grade-level expectations. "Proficient," or Level 3, means the student meets the standard and demonstrates a solid understanding of the material.

This means according to OSPI's 2025 report, nearly 30% don't even have below grade-level skills in ELA and they are afraid to report how many are at grade level.  Very disappointing Chris Reykdal!

We are heartbroken over yesterday's brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and coworkers. May thousands of Charlie Kirks arise to follow in his footsteps.  Imagine the conversations going on today in heaven.  "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." - 2 Timothy 4:7

From our First Lady:

Charlie’s children will be raised with stories instead of memories, photographs instead of laughter, and silence where their father’s voice should have echoed.

Charlie Kirk’s life should serve as a symbolic reminder that compassionate awareness elevates family, love, and country.

Our Vice Chair was interviewed by KOMO News regarding Seattle's refusal to honor opt outs from objectionable material, in violation of the SCOTUS Mahmoud decision.  Please scroll down to Resources and print the opt out form to protect your child from material that violates your values or religious beliefs.  If your district does not accommodate your request, let us know immediately

As you have likely heard, Seattle Public Schools is not accepting opt outs from objectionable material, in violation of the recent SCOTUS decisions.  Rest assured, our chapter is working with other state chapters and national, to address this. More information and guidance to come. Here is an example of what kindergartners cannot opt out of.

I'm back from vacation and our kids are back in school - time to get back to work!

Read this excellent article on literacy: "Illiteracy is a form of darkness, and an illiterate populace is not one equipped to handle the demands of a world filled with forms and papers and words, let alone be the voting citizens of a democratic society."

I will be on vacation until after Labor Day and so won't be updating posts.  However, I urge you all to check out these podcasts and videos over the next few weeks:

1. The Sold a Story series is an outstanding explanation of the reading wars and how things went so wrong in education.

2.  The FTC launched an investigation of deceptive practices in "gender affirming care."  See this series of videos with introductions from WA Parents Network. 

3.  Check out M4LU for great articles and videos from past semesters.

Have a wonderful finish to your summer.  Come back energized as we have a lot of work to do once school starts!

Thank you to Dawn Land for providing Brandi Kruse photos (see 6 min. mark) of the July 26 drag queen event at an elementary school in Bonney Lake.  While we have been vacationing with our families, the alphabet mafia remains hard at work sexualizing our children.

It has belatedly come to my attention that the author of my favorite history textbook, Land of Hope, has written a young reader's addition. Parents and grandparents - familiarize yourself with this incredible textbook (original college-level or young reader's edition) so you can identify the biases, omissions and errors in the history your children are getting.

You are likely familiar with the terrific Tuttle Twins books but did you know they now offer an Academy for teens?  Parents and grandparents - wouldn't this be an awesome gift for your kids!

So you think the NEA is about protecting and education children? The NEA recently scrubbed its 434-page 2025 handbook—likely because it exposes a political agenda that erases Jewish suffering, promotes racial quotas, pushes “educational reparations,” and attacks homeschooling, while ignoring student learning and achievement.  Defending education saved it before it was scrubbed.

Many districts in America have a school named after Horace Mann.  Who was he?  Read this brief article about what he did to education in America.  He said: “We who are engaged in the sacred cause of education are entitled to look upon all parents as having given hostages to our cause.”

Parents - as you send your children off to camp this August, be aware of who the counselors are.  One person let me know that upon return from a reportedly Christian YMCA camp, her 12 year told her the counselor was transgender and the kids were forced into discussions about the issue.  Not exactly the canoeing, horseback riding etc. adventure they expected!
