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.

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!

Washington is the third highest “donor state” in the nation - our taxpayers subsidize services for other states at a very high rate. For every dollar our taxpayers provide the federal government, only $.84 finds its way back to Washington. Does Chris Reykdal’s statement make you wonder why WA taxpayers are subsidizing other states when our scores are so low?

Greetings from the free state of Florida! I will post when I have an opportunity.
"Quite possibly, as a result of Mahmoud, the new legal and financial risks to schools of keeping parents in the dark will usher in an age of curriculum transparency. Districts will not want to be sued for keeping parents too uninformed to exercise their opt-out rights." Stay tuned for more information.

Linda McMahon in response to the SCOTUS ruling: "The U.S. Department of Education will now deliver on its mandate to restore excellence in American education. We will carry out the reduction in force to promote efficiency and accountability and to ensure resources are directed where they matter most – to students, parents, and teachers. As we return education to the states, this Administration will continue to perform all statutory duties while empowering families and teachers by reducing education bureaucracy.”

At this week's annual conference, the NEA worked tirelessly to "improve education" by severing ties with the Anti-Defamation League and passing a resolution to defend our "democracy" from President Trump's facism (sic). If they can't even spell it, how could they ever recognize it? Still wondering why American children can't read or write?

If you don't already know Billboard Chris, I suggest you watch his video. It is just as relevant today as it was 16 months ago. Share it with those that think they are being loving and tolerant when they subject confused and vulnerable children to this nightmare of child abuse.

In the wake of the response to the Texas flood, many are revealing themselves as truth deniers and purveyors of the same cult-like behavior that is teaching climate alarm as a religion in our public schools. We must return real science and actual critical thinking, to our schools.

Happy Independence Day! Too many young people don't know the history of our great nation. Start a family tradition where you honor those that sacrificed their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, so that we could be free.

A Northshore parent just shared this story: The mother of a girl at Kenmore Junior High, removed her daughter from the school due to the situation with the girls’ bathroom. The daughter was anxious, uncomfortable, and not willing to go into the girl’s bathroom because it is no longer a GIRL’S bathroom, but a TRANSGENDER BATHROOM with high stall doors so no one can see in (i.e.. how many people are in each stall.) The daughter said people were going in there to make out, etc. And, of course, transgender boys can now go in there - and maybe any boy who chooses to??? Adults, it is time to get a backbone and stand up for our girls!
