By Laurie Higgins   |   04.19.17

Christian Parents, Your Kids Aren’t Equipped to be Public School Missionaries
By   |   04.04.17
A concerned parent sent me this. It’s the school newspaper for Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School in Falls Church, Virginia. Among the other hard hitting pieces of journalism targeted at children, ages 11-13, is an article on “transgender rights.” The...

Liberals Shame and Bully Conservative Kids
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.29.17
One of the central tactics used by liberals to impose coercively an incoherent and science-denying “trans” ideology on, well, everyone, is to hurl epithets at dissenters. And if that means adults hurling epithets in the direction of children, so be it. Leftists can’t have children running around our streets even thinking the emperor has no clothes. And they certainly can’t have girls refusing to share restrooms with the emperor.
Pesky Progressive Change Agents at Lake Forest High School
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.17.17
Close on the heels of the “progressive” boondoggle at New Trier High School, another affluent North Shore high school has its own boondoggle in the offing. Though smaller in scope (thus far) and far less public than all-school dogma day at New Trier, the contempt for diverse views, the brazenness of the attempt at censorship, and the presumptuousness of the staff members involved are no less remarkable.
These College Students Support Freedom for Muslim Singers. What About Christian Photographers?
By John Biver   |   03.14.17
Is it higher education or higher indoctrination? Many college kids today spend four or more years being indoctrinated as much as they are educated. In this short video, watch a group of University of Wisconsin-Madison students learn more about liberty...

By Laurie Higgins   |   03.10.17

By Oliver Perry   |   03.03.17
Your college-bound son or daughter has a new obstacle to overcome in learning to be both an educated and wise young adult. Teaching White Privilege is now all the rage. Many universities have mandatory classes on it. Some even extend...

New Trier High School Needs Accounting, Diversity, and Logic Lessons
By Laurie Higgins   |   02.27.17
Much virtual ink has been spilled, money wasted, and fallacious arguments spewed by supporters of the bias inarguably present in the sessions offered on New Trier’s All-School Seminar Day titled “Understanding Today’s Struggle for Racial Civil Rights,” which takes place tomorrow Feb. 28. A closer look at the money spent and diversity ideology promoted—often through fallacious logic—may lead parents to do two things: 1. Keep their children home on “progressive” dogma day. 2. Pursue changes in future seminars with the doggedness and passion (if not the fallacious reasoning) of “progressives.”

It has now become a national story with Peter Berkowitz, senior fellow with Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, publishing an editorial in the Wall Street Journal in which he accurately describes the event...
Hypocrisy of Leftists on Religious Tolerance
By Laurie Higgins   |   02.16.17
On Monday, I wrote about World Hijab Day during which non-Muslim teachers in public schools adopted the religious practice of hijab, wearing the head covering that some Muslim women wear voluntarily and some are coerced into wearing. Hijab is a controversial practice even among Muslims, many of whom see it as a symbol of a form of political Islam called Islamism that oppresses women.
Should Public School Teachers Participate in World Hijab Day
By Laurie Higgins   |   02.13.17
February 1, 2013 marked the first annual World Hijab Day, which was started by Nazma Khan, who emigrated from Bangladesh to the U.S. when she was 11-years-old.... On World Hijab Day, non-Muslim women and non-hijabi Muslims (i.e., Muslim women who don’t wear hijabs) are urged to wear a hijab for a day “in recognition of millions of Muslim women who choose to wear the hijab and live a life of modesty.”
