Despite growing controversy and parental outrage, chapters of the so-called “After School Satan Club” promoting lawlessness and evil to children are proliferating in government schools across America. Already, clubs are operating in various states and districts, and the Satanic Temple, which oversees them, is working to expand them nationwide wherever Christian children gather.

Scandal surrounding the clubs surfaced most recently in Chesapeake, Virginia, where school board members are considering whether to approve an After School Satan Club (ASSC) in light of “safety concerns.” The original sponsor of the club at B.M. Williams Primary School decided to withdraw, so the satanists had to go back to the drawing board and find a new one.

Club promoters say they do not worship Satan and merely want to focus on science, games and art with the children while promoting intellectual development. However, community members have expressed overwhelming opposition to the club during school board meetings. “Do not allow this club to take place, for Satan is a liar and the father of all lies,” a local resident was quoted as saying in media reports.

The diabolical clubs honoring the “Father of Lies” and the “Prince of Demons,” a ministry of the Satanic Temple that recruits young people into the openly anti-Christ movement, represent the next step in the rapid falling away from God of Americans. But it should not be surprising, as the Bible repeatedly refers to Satan as the “god” or the “prince” of this world due to the influence he holds over so many people.

“Obviously we don’t view Satan as evil, and it really doesn’t matter to us what your mythology is surrounding Satan,” movement co-founder Lucian Greaves said on Fox News recently about the clubs. “You need to ask yourself if your distaste over us identifying as Satanists is strong enough that you would abandon the principles of free speech and religious liberty.”

While the Virginia club is being considered by authorities, similar clubs from California and Oregon to Utah and Ohio have already been approved. Some have been operating for years. More than five years ago, an After School Satan Club was approved at Vista Elementary School in Taylorsville, Utah, with officials saying there was nothing they could do to stop it.

But that is a lie, too. Dishonest lawyers, judges and their dupes continually point to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as the reason why Satanists must be allowed to access children on public property. The same assertion was made by the Satanic Temple recently to display a “Baby Baphomet” statue in the Illinois State Capitol.

And yet, anyone who reads the Amendment would instantly recognize the absurdity of that argument. It merely says Congress “shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” When the founders wrote and ratified that, most states had established churches. The authors would have recoiled in horror to see how evil forces have tortured the plain language to mean something so ludicrous.

Ironically, in his dissent when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down prayer and Bible reading in school in the early 1960s, Justice Potter Stewart correctly observed that this would be establishing the religion of secularism — better known as humanism. Boiled down to its essence, humanism is a modern re-stating of the original lie peddled by Satan: That man can be his own god.

The emergence of actual Satanic clubs in elementary schools is merely the next logical step after several generations of godless and humanist indoctrination of children at taxpayer expense. Families and parents must protect their children, because it is clear governments and their allies will not do it. In fact, they appear to be the primary threat.

In a brazen act of anti-Christian disrespect and cultural appropriation, Edison Middle School (CUSD 200) in the formerly conservative town of Wheaton, Illinois has chosen to mock a Christian symbol that celebrates the birth of Christ.

The DuPage Policy Journal reported that Edison is prominently displaying a full-size rainbow-colored, “gay pride” Christmas tree during the Christmas season in honor of homoeroticism. Originally, the tree also included handmade pink ornaments with the messages “Be Gay Be Slay” and *Gay Panic*.

For those not up to date on the sloganeering of the cult of homoeroticism, “Gay panic” refers to a legal defense in which a man claims a kind of temporary insanity for an act of violence committed against another man due to allegedly unwanted homoerotic advances. A Christmas ornament with that slogan is mocking such a legal defense.

Both the principal, Rachel Bednar, and superintendent, Jeff Schuler, approve of this offense against Christians.

This display raises the question, what do these ornaments and this inappropriate, culturally insensitive tree have to do with the birth of Christ? And if they have nothing to do with Christmas, why a Christmas tree and why now during the Christmas season?

Edison Middle School—an arm of the government—has given its stamp of approval to the cultural appropriation of not one, but two Christian symbols: the Christian symbol of the rainbow and the Christian symbol of the Christmas tree.

While leftists strain to argue that the Christmas tree is not a religious symbol, honest people acknowledge that for hundreds of years, it has been associated with one religion—Christianity—and one holiday—Christmas.

Here’s a thought experiment: During Ramadan, will Bednar and Schuler prominently display a rainbow-colored, “gay pride” 8-pointed star—a common Islamic symbol? What about a rainbow-colored, “gay pride” prayer rug with an image of the mihrab arch? If Edison had Orthodox Jewish students, staff, and faculty, would Bednar permit a rainbow-colored, “gay pride” menorah during Chanukah?

A community member offended by the display spoke with Schuler who reportedly asserted that the Christmas tree is not a religious symbol despite being called a Christmas tree and displayed only during the Christmas season.

Further, Schuler refuses to have the offensive display removed. The administration did, however, offer this paltry sop to Christians: They removed the offensive ornaments.

This is not the first time a CUSD 200 school has demonstrated its ardent support for all things sexually deviant and disdain for Christians in its community.

In 2018, Monroe Middle School permitted the walls to be defaced with offensive drawings that children as young as 11 had to see.

In 2019, Longfellow Elementary School invited lesbian author and activist Robin Stevenson, who promotes cultural approval of both the “LGBT” ideology and the legalized slaughter of the unborn, to speak to 8-11-year-olds.

In August 2022, the CUSD 200 Board of Education voted to keep the egregiously obscene, sexually graphic comic book Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe on district high school library shelves.

Public schools have no respect for the religious beliefs, values, and moral convictions of conservative parents. Rather, public schools are downright hostile to conservative beliefs, especially Christian beliefs. Public schools don’t care if conservative students feel “safe.” Public schools don’t care about preserving the modesty and innocence of children. And public schools don’t care if they create division between conservative parents and their own children.

Illinois now has multiple laws mandating that public schools introduce, promote, and affirm leftist views on “identity” and sexuality to children starting in kindergarten. There is no way for parents to escape having their children’s innocence stolen and their minds and hearts corrupted in and by public schools. Conservative parents must get their children out of public schools, and churches must help make that happen.

If you want to know what “progressive” teachers think of conservative parents, please take a gander at the following blog post from recently retired Deerfield High School English teacher (and former colleague) David Hirsch. On October 6, 2022, Hirsch published a post titled, “Watch Out Parents: Big Conservative Is Not Just Coming After Teachers and Librarians” in which he makes a number of mindboggling claims. Warning—Irony Alert:

We need to talk about how you are interacting with your children at home. What are you teaching them? How are you modeling well? Are you making the right choices – the best choices? Would your legislators and political leaders approve of how you are raising your children? Do you talk about CRT? Are you too accepting of gender non-conforming behavior or ideas? Would you allow your child to use they/them pronouns? If so, Big Conservative might knock on your door for this kind of thought crime.

We hear about parents’ choice. That is the rationale for a slew of censorship across more than a dozen states. However, which parents? What choices? For the most part, these book-banning (and sometimes burning) movements are aligned with a far wrong wing political agenda. They do not reflect ALL parents’ choices, just a specific conservative religious and usually white one.

So this isn’t just about parents having a say in what their kids read in school. This is about ideologues having control over your children’s educations. Teachers and librarians were the first to experience this intense scrutiny and vitriol, but this movement will not end with them.

You may think, what I teach my children in my own home is not anyone’s business but my own – and you would be right as long as what you were doing was aligned with Big Conservative. But if it is not, your behavior might be labeled child abuse and you as a negligent parent.

Several states banned children who identify as a gender other than the one assigned at birth from receiving any interventions. They criminalized the act of assisting these children from even exploring anything beyond their gender at birth – even if their parents did it!

So if you are looking at teachers and librarians and thinking, just pick less controversial texts, just make your lessons about the subject area and not about social issues, know this: that same message will be tailored for parents who don’t agree with the censors and extremists.

Let’s go one step further: How will these wrong wing censors know you are veering away from their prescribed curriculum? Your children will tell them. The idea that children would “turn in” their parents was common in totalitarian and fascist regimes. Whether it was the Hitler Youth, the Soviet Union’s Young Pioneers, or Communist Youth reading Mao’s Little Red Book, this technique has deep roots in authoritarian governments’ control of parenting.

… this is just the first battle in a larger war for who decides what your child learns – in and out of school.

As with abortion, immigration, and elections, choice just means sticking with Big Conservative’s point of view; freedom means the right to express opinions that echo specific politicians in a specific party. They are not advocating for freedom and choice, they are creating vehicles to coerce and control – and their reach will not end at the schoolhouse – if we don’t stop it, it is going to ram through the door and enter your house!

Time and space don’t permit addressing all of Hirsch’s risible rhetoric and claims, but I’ll try to cover the most ironic.

1.) What constitutes “Big Conservative”? Regressive leftists control public schools, teachers’ unions; academia (including college and university departments of English, library science, political science, education, and theater); the American Library Association; the National Council of Teachers of English; the Modern Language Association; the Illinois State Board of Education; most press outlets; the FBI; the American Psychological Association; the American Medical Association; the American Academy of Pediatrics; the publishing industry; Hollywood; the Nobel Committee for Literature; and social media.

No member of “Big Conservative” has made any demands regarding what pronouns parents use with their own children in their own homes. Meanwhile conservative teachers have lost their jobs for refusing to use incorrect pronouns with students. Leftist teachers and even school districts are openly calling for faculty to conceal from parents if their child is pretending to be the opposite sex at school. Leftist teachers openly admit on TikTok that they seek to indoctrinate other people’s children with leftist views on sex and gender. California will usurp custody of gender-dysphoric children who manage to make it to la-la land from other states.

2.) Hirsch next refers to “wrong wing book-banners” and “burners.” I watch and read a fair amount of news, but somehow, I missed stories about book burners. I have, however, seen firsthand how leftists in public schools ban books. I saw it at Deerfield High School. They do it clandestinely by simply never choosing materials that dissent from whatever leftist ideas they want to advance.

For example, during my last three years (2005-2008) of employment in the writing center at District 113’s Deerfield High School, multiple teachers taught material that espoused leftist views of homosexuality in Freshman Advisory, English classes, and theater classes. Not one of these teachers presented resources that espoused dissenting ideas.

Similarly, the school library had scores of books espousing leftist views on homosexuality and race, while having not one book espousing conservative views.

I viewed this imbalance as evidence of book-banning aligned with a leftwing agenda and pedagogically dangerous, but not Hirsch. Does Hirsch think teachers can help kids learn to think critically without reading material from the best thinkers on both sides of controversial cultural debates?

3.) Victim Hirsch refers to “intense scrutiny and vitriol” experienced by poor, pitiful, put-upon leftist teachers and librarians. To whom and what is he referring? Is he referring to parents justifiably angry about the obscene material teachers select to teach to kids, like when his colleagues Jeff Berger-White and Elliot Hurtig taught the eye-poppingly obscene Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes? Or is he referring to heated school board meetings when presumptuous teachers have gotten their long overdue come-uppance for teaching the obscene comic book Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe?

Maybe Hirsch should publish a post sharing what his DHS colleagues say about conservative parents behind the scenes. Readers concerned about “vitriol” might be interested. And maybe Hirsch could share the truth that leftist teachers don’t want any scrutiny. They want to create the selection criteria that allows them to select books that align with their beliefs and values and deselect (i.e., ban) books that challenge their beliefs and values.

Leftist teachers want absolute autonomy to choose to teach whatever they want and say whatever they want in their classrooms. And don’t believe any leftist teachers who say they want parents to be “advocates” for their own children. Those teachers unequivocally do not want conservative parents advocating for their children if that advocacy cramps leftist style.

4.) Hirsch frets that several states have banned gender-dysphoric children from receiving interventions. What he neglected to mention is that the interventions banned for gender-dysphoric minors are medical interventions with irreversible effects and for which there are no long-term studies proving their safety.

Ever the propagandist, Hirsch describes such bans as “criminalizing” the act of exploring gender. No, lawmakers are criminalizing untested medical interventions that cause irreversible effects. The “trans” cult claims “gender” has nothing to do with physical embodiment (which is why the claim that doctors “assign gender at birth” is so absurd). Leftists claim “gender” is constituted by subjective, internal feelings about one’s maleness, femaleness, both, or neither. Therefore, “exploring gender” does not require altering biochemistry or lopping off body parts.

5.) Hirsch frets too about children sharing with their own parents what is taught in publicly subsidized classrooms. He compares children who tell their parents what government employees/public servants are teaching in the classroom to Hitler Youth and Mao’s Communist Youth.

Can Hirsch really not see how his analogy grotesquely fails? Hitler and Mao used children to turn on their parents by reporting to the government. Teachers like Hirsch are the government. He wants children to align themselves ideologically with the government against their own parents—just as Hitler and Mao did.

To make clear his point, in Hirsch’s screed to leftist teachers, he refers to their students as “your children,” saying “Your children will tell them.”  The students of leftist teachers are not those teachers’ children. Hirsch inadvertently happened on one truth: This technique of separating children ideologically from their parents has deep roots in authoritarian control of parenting. Hirsch just can’t get right who the authoritarians are.

6.) Finally, ironist Hirsch warns that conservative parents—you know, “far–wrong wingers”—are the ones who abuse the rhetoric of freedom and choice in their unholy quest to “coerce and control,” a quest that will not “end at the schoolhouse door.” Hirsch believes the conservative quest to control “will ram through” the front doors of leftists. Hirsch’s solution? Leftist teachers must stop conservative parents now—in public schools.

Conservatives, GET OUT NOW.

postscript: Hirsch returned to DHS for two days in November to talk to students, librarians, and teachers. I wonder if he told kids from conservative families that he views them as “far-wrong wingers.”

In the face of escalating indoctrination and fear-mongering about alleged man-made global warming in government schools around the world, more than seven in 10 children now say they are afraid of “climate change” and environmental issues. Climate alarmists said the results showed the need for even more climate propaganda in schools — yes, seriously.

The controversial survey of 1,000 children, commissioned by a British “eco-grocery” company known for reusing milk bottles, found that the impact “climate change” would have on animal was the top concern among one fourth of children polled. Other concerns among the brainwashed youngsters included “plastic pollution” and “rising temperatures.”

More than one third of the children said their schools or teachers were their primary inspiration, according to an outfit called “Generation Alpha” cited in news reports about the survey. Almost half, though, looked to population-control fanatic David Attenborough with the British government’s propaganda machine, BBC, as their inspiration and educator. Families took the spot for less than one fourth.

The company that commissioned the survey said it proves more brainwashing is needed. “The results show that environmental challenges are having a prominent effect on the children of today, proving that it’s never been more important to educate communities on the actions they can take to protect our planet,” said Simon Mellin, founder and CEO of the “eco-grocery” outfit behind the poll.

While that survey focused on children on the other side of the Atlantic, it is just as bad in the United States, if not worse. “Climate change” is a key component of the “Next Generation Science Standards” developed by the same quacks behind Common Core — pseudo-science standards that never once mention the scientific method. Six years ago, the National Center for Science Education revealed that about 3 in 4 “science” teachers in American government schools teach “climate change,” too.

The new survey results confirm other studies showing that children are suffering from being bombarded with doom and gloom prophecies about global warming. In fact, they are experiencing something researchers dubbed “eco-anxiety.” It is characterized by “negative” emotions such as “anger, sadness, guilt, and hopelessness,” according to a peer-reviewed study from this summer calling for more research on the trend.

The growing terror surrounding alleged man-made global warming comes as government schools also terrorize children about the supposed risks of everything from COVID to school shootings. This endless barrage of fearmongering has produced a generation of American youngsters who are losing their minds, literally, with the CDC finding that 44 per cent of teenagers say they feel “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.”

The use of fear to accomplish political objectives has long been understood by tyrants. In fact, former National Socialist leader Hermann Goering — Adolf Hitler’s right-hand man — famously explained after the war that it is easy to make a population do the bidding of leaders: “All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.”

Just replace “being attacked” with “having their climate destroyed by climate deniers, Americans, and capitalists,” and replace pacifists for “climate deniers,” and presto! Dealing with the people and things “exposing the country to danger” now requires all sorts of extreme “solutions” including giving up individual rights, limiting national sovereignty, and crushing prosperity. There is a reason former NASA senior climate scientist Dr. Roy Spencer refers to vicious alarmists as “global warming Nazis.”  

As schools terrorize children with climate propaganda, they are then stepping in and using tactics such as “mindfulness” — a religious and spiritual practice tied to Buddhism — to supposedly help them cope. Social-Emotional Learning, or SEL, is also a big part of what passes for education today, with children propagandized to adopt New Age spirituality and far-left political views under the guise of teaching regulation and control of emotions.

Children should be playing and learning. They should not be subjected to an endless barrage of cultish propaganda paid by taxpayers aimed at transforming society under the guise of stopping the climate from changing — something that has happened since the Earth was created and presumably will continue as long as it exists. This child abuse must end. Only parents can make it stop.

Well, well, well, a recent news story pokes a hole in the leftist media portrayal of crossdressers as paragons of virtue and mental health who must never be criticized.

The story emerges from Chicago where LaSaia Wade, a crossdressing man who spends his days trying to normalize sexual deviance, has been fired from Brave Space Alliance, the “LGBTQ” center he founded and which, according to The Blaze, reportedly “grew during the pandemic into a multimillion-dollar operation.” Mr. Wade has allegedly been “diverting the organization’s funds to ‘unknown’ bank accounts.”

Biological male, “LaSaia” Wade

IFI readers, particularly those who live in Township High School District 211, may be familiar with Wade who in 2017 colluded with current school board member, the presumptuous Kim Cavill (who hosts inappropriate sex podcasts for minors with titles like “All About Anal” and “Let’s Talk About Porn”), to thwart the election of three outstanding school board members. That fascinating story bears retelling:

In the spring of 2017, three exceptionally well-qualified candidates who opposed co-ed private spaces for minors in public schools were running against three people who supported co-ed private spaces for minors. The three well-qualified challengers were,

Jean Forrest, a Chinese-American woman with an MA in economics who works as an actuary

Katherine Jee Young David, a Korean-American woman with a BS in Business Administration from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Ralph Bonatz who has a degree in electrical engineering and is a global quality control manager for an international corporation

On March 22, 2017, just 13 days before the 2017 election, Chicagoan LaSaia Wade and Daye Pope, another biological male who masquerades as a woman, set up a Super PAC called Trans United Fund Illinois. Pope is the organizing director for a 501(c)(3) called Trans United Fund.

Just two days later, on March 24, 2017—11 days before the 2017 election—Kim Cavill and her sister Lindsay Christensen also set up a Super PAC called Parents and Neighbors for Quality Education (PNQE).

Just days after the founding of Trans United Fund Illinois, some surprising donations came pouring in from people outside of District 211:

• Matrix Director “Lana” Wachowski, a biological man who pretends to be a woman and lives with his dominatrix wife in Chicago, donated a whopping $10,000.

• Far left former Illinois State Senator Heather Steans (D-Chicago), who has a son who pretends to be a woman, also donated $10,000.

• Homosexual Clark Pellet, a retired attorney and development chair for the “LGBTQ” Center on Halsted who lives in Chicago, donated $5,000.

• Executive director of Gender Rights Maryland, Dana Beyer, a man who pretends to be a woman and lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland, donated $1,000.

• Eliza Byard, executive director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) who lives in Brooklyn, New York donated $500.

• Homosexual Douglas Hattaway, president and CEO of a Washington D.C. strategic communications firm who lives in D.C., donated $500.

• Architect Kira Kinsman, a biological man formerly known as Kyle Kinsman who lives in Wilkes Barre, PA, donated $250.

The more than $26, 000 in donations for a school board election from donors who don’t live in District 211 then went to—you guessed it—Cavill’s Parents and Neighbors for Quality Education.

Enquiring minds may wonder why Cavill and her sister set up PNQE, since Trans United Fund Illinois was already established. Why the extra step to fund the defeat of conservatives? The answer to that question might be found in mailers and yard signs.

State law requires that campaign mailers and yard signs identify the groups that pay for them. Signs must say “Approved by ….” Which sounds better—and by “better” I mean less likely to arouse suspicion: “Approved by Trans United Fund Illinois” or “Approved by Parents and Neighbors for Quality Education”?

Flush with filthy lucre, the Cavill sisters got busy smearing good people with nary a backward glance.

As reported by the “LGBTQ” newspaper Windy City Times, a local mom (Who could that have been?) reached out to Trans United Fund, “a national trans-led advocacy group,” who agreed to help them defeat the three candidates who supported single-sex locker rooms:

Trans United Fund (TUF) and a group of local parents, youth, and allies, worked together to launch the first trans-led, trans-focused independent expenditure in history. TUF assembled a powerful team of thoughtful allies to quickly build and execute a research-informed and strategic plan to help the parents and youth get their message out. TUF supported the parents’ efforts through digital, mail, phone banking and helping to train volunteers to reach their neighbors at the door.

The Windy City Times made clear this campaign was a smear campaign in which good people who believe locker rooms and restrooms should correspond to biological sex were vilified. District 211 community member Tracey Salvatore, spewing venomous lies, said this about the good people who were defeated:

We are fed up with this small group of vocal, transphobic people guided by a national hate group [Alliance Defending Freedom] wreaking havoc in our community…. Our District 211 community will not tolerate adults bullying kids or intimidating us for one more day. The ADF-inspired slate of candidates ran with the agenda of inserting a hate-based, national agenda into our schools. They didn’t care that their policy changes would increase bullying and violence against kids…. So we reached out to Trans United Fund and they helped us to get our message out to our neighbors and community members. (emphasis added)

Neither Salvatore nor anyone affiliated with PNQE felt the ethical obligation to provide evidence that the three candidates feared or hated “trans”-identifying students, or that they bullied kids, or that they intimidated community members, or that ADF has a “hate-based agenda,” or that single-sex private spaces for minors increase “bullying and violence.” Why try to provide impossible-to-find evidence when hate-mongering rhetoric does the job.

This bizarre and troubling story was picked up by no one in the press. No story in the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, or Daily Herald.

Then in 2019, the dishonest Cavill ran for the school board and won. Still to this day ideological groomer Kim Cavill sits on her school board. Some District 211 taxpayers should ask her publicly about her collusion with scammer and skimmer Mr. LaSaia Wade.

District 211 School Board Member Kim Cavill, May 2022

Unfortunately, Brave Space Alliance remains operational—for now—headed by other mentally and morally unfit persons, like interim CEO, “Jae” Rice, a woman who pretends to be a man and uses the pronouns he/him. She spends her time “creating safe spaces in Chicago that center all Black LGBTQIA+ Women, Femmes, AFABS, and Queers.” For those who lack the time to learn all the neologisms “trans”-cultists invent to socially construct and impose their metaphysical beliefs, “AFAB” means “assigned female at birth.” Of course, only science deniers believe physicians “assign” sexes or genders at birth.

Then there’s Brave Space Alliance COO “Stephanie” Skora, a man who masquerades as a woman and boasts about his many-faceted life on Brave Space Alliance’s website:

Stephanie Skora is a writer, educator, speaker, organizer, and non-profiteer based in Chicago, Illinois. She lives as a femme lesbian, trans woman, and working-class anti-Zionist Ashkenazi Jew, and mobilizes her identities to work in solidarity with Palestinians, to queer Jewish spaces, and to fight for justice and liberation for all trans people. Stephanie is currently the COO of Brave Space Alliance, serves as Board President for the Midwest Institute for Sexuality and Gender Diversity, and is the author of the “Girl, I Guess” Progressive Voter Guide. When not working or organizing, Stephanie can be found enjoying the pleasures of life for a Virgo: food, love, and being right.

Biological male “Stephanie” Skora

Clearly, Skora’s strengths lie more in the area of imagination than clarity. He says he is a “trans woman,” which means he’s a man. He says he is a “femme lesbian,” which means he’s an effeminate heterosexual man who is sexually attracted to women and likes to cross-dress.

I’m not sure how he defines “working class,” unless he just means he works. He attended University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he earned his BA in “Gender & Women’s Studies and Political Science, with minor concentrations in Sociology and LGBT/Q Studies.” He claims to be not only a writer, speaker, and COO, but also a “renowned educator,” and “lesbian reclamationist,” who practices Jewish Anarchism, none of which connotes “working class” to most people.

Maybe, just maybe, some good can come from the sorry tales of LaSaia Wade and Kim Cavill. Maybe both will lose their positions and Brave Space Alliance will collapse under the weight of its lies.

With the midterm elections over, big government Leftists and their political allies are now conspiring in Springfield. We are starting the second week of the fall veto session today, and one of the goals of many Democrats and teachers’ unions is to kill the Invest in Kids Act,which has helped award more than 37,000 scholarships through private donations totaling more than $280 million. This much-needed program is scheduled to end (sunset) on January 1, 2025, but a Leftist group wants to kill it now.

A teachers’ union front group called “Illinois Families for Public Schools” wants to end this program and are putting a lot of pressure on legislators to do so. They distort the program by calling the scholarships vouchers. Recall previously that Gov. J.B. Pritzker slandered this program by calling it a tax loophole.

More than ever, we need freedom-loving citizens to contact their own representatives and tell them to remove the sunset for the Invest in Kids Act. 

There are four ways that you can help:

1.) If you are able to travel to Springfield this week, please join with those who will try to reach our elected officials in person. Contact Juan@empowerillinois.org or Bobby@empowerillinois.org to get more information.

2.) Click HERE to contact your elected official via phone and email. This website will identify your state senator and representative. You can use a pre-written message and/or add your own personalized note.

3.) We need you to share this message with family and friends. Please forward this email. You do not have to have a child in school or in this program to make your voice known.

4.) Let us make our strong appeal to our great God and Heavenly Father for His mercy. Our confidence in all things is through our Lord Jesus Christ and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Act and Pray!

We are living through a spiritual/legal/political revolution in our nation. The issue at hand is more than just money. We recognize that ultimately we are in a spiritual battle. We must first be in prayer for the sake of our state and for the sake of many who have been helped out of government indoctrination centers. We also must express our strong disapproval to Gov. Pritzker and our state legislators about cutting this program in any way.

For the first time in its decades-long history, the United Nations “climate change” summit included a “Children and Youth” area packed with indoctrinated youngsters demanding that governments take “climate action” and dispense “climate justice.”

The children we spoke to, all of whom admitted to being “taught” about the importance of alleged man-made global warming and activism in their schools, knew very little about the science, the enormous cost of the “solutions,” or even who paid for them to fly in from around the world.

But they were all sure that time was running out for governments and the UN to supposedly save the world from the gas exhaled by every living person. Human emissions carbon dioxide, known as the “gas of life” to serious scientists, is said by the UN’s scientists to be responsible for everything from warming and hurricanes to droughts and floods.

The children we spoke to, regurgitating discredited talking points given to them by adults seeking to exploit them for the “cause,” were fully onboard. But ironically, the UN-backed propaganda machine spreading climate disinformation ran into major trouble when its previous celebrity child propagandist, Greta Thunberg, turned against the summit.

Blasting the UN summit as a scam so “people in power” could engage in “greenwashing, lying and cheating,” the Swedish girl exploited for years by the UN and the world media refused to even attend. She also lambasted the UN for hosting its event “in a tourist paradise” in “a country that violates many basic human rights.”

The children and youth area, one of the largest in its section of the summit, featured coloring books, free coffee, and white European handlers shuffling African children in front of media cameras to parrot their climate lines. It was a grotesque spectacle of child exploitation for dangerous political goals—goals that the children were too young to truly understand. Some children were younger than 12.

Propaganda organs masquerading as news agencies sounded almost like parodies of themselves in promoting the narrative, claiming the children “traveled from around the world to demand adult leaders take action to protect their futures.” No mention was made of how children “traveled from around the world” or where the money came from.

“They may be small, but their voices have been some of the loudest in the climate action movement,” the Reuters propagandist wrote, highlighting the story of an 11-year old who chased a British politician around demanding the release of some jailed climate activists.

The “children and youth” component of the UN climate summit, which has been widely touted by governments and the UN itself, was only made possible by the sort of public-school indoctrination covered in The Newman Report last week. Instead of brainwashing children with global warming propaganda, children should be taught to think for themselves. The future is literally at stake.

Imagine the school building is on fire, and your precious children are trapped inside. You can hear the blood-curdling screams growing louder. The flames are getting bigger, and the heat is getting hotter. Your heart races.

Even standing outside looking in, you feel your children’s terror and pain. No matter how hard you try to tell yourself it will all be okay, you know they’re in mortal danger.

You look around frantically, searching for somebody—anyone, really—to do something—anything! “Somebody do something!” you shout. But there’s no response, and you hear no sirens wailing in the distance.

In fact, nobody is coming to rescue your children—certainly not the arsonist politicians or the education establishment who set the building on fire in the first place. It finally dawns on you that if you don’t act soon, catastrophe is inevitable, and your children are doomed.

What do you do?

If you said circulate a petition, lobby your legislators, or run for school board, you’re obviously not a parent yourself.

Anyone with a child will tell you that there’s only one possible thing to do in a case like this: Run inside, grab your loved ones, and run from the fire until you can’t run anymore. Then sound the alarm and wake the town.

The time has come to treat this situation like the deadly threat that it is. If you still have children in a public school, or if you know anyone with children trapped inside, act like the building is on fire—because it is!

In fact, it’s much worse than that. Unfortunately, even the burning building isn’t an adequate analogy for the horror that’s being perpetrated against children in government schools today.

A fire will merely harm your children physically. That’s bad enough, of course—and it’s happening. But physical wounds can be healed. This is much worse.

As this series on public “education” should have made clear by now, government schools are indeed harming children physically—think transgender “treatments” involving hormones and surgical mutilation, for instance, or the epidemic of suicide, drug abuse, physical fights, and other plagues.

The quack methods used to “teach reading” are literally doing physical harm to the brain that can be observed in brain scans, producing a lifelong handicap in millions of children as described in part 5 of this series.

Even more ghastly than the physical trauma, though, is that the schools are destroying children mentally, emotionally, academically, spiritually, culturally, morally, and more.

Consider: The government’s own data show less than a third of its child victims are proficient in any core subject, based on the government’s own absurdly dumbed-down “standards.” In some districts, government data show that there are virtually no students capable of reading or basic mathematics. And “academics” are ostensibly the raison d’etre of public schools.

While these victims of government schools may not be competent in reading, math, writing, science, or history, they can tell you all about “intersectional oppression,” “global citizenship,” “gender” ideology, and the supposed dangers of alleged man-made global warming supposedly caused by the gas they exhale.

Polls show America’s youth are rapidly moving away from the values of liberty and away from the Christian faith of their forefathers, and toward “woke” socialism that threatens to destroy not just the children and their families—but even the nation and civilization itself.

Socialism has been marketed to public-school victims so successfully that—combined with a fake history curriculum demonizing America and concealing the barbarism of tyranny—more than two-thirds of millennials in polls say they will vote for socialists.

All over the country, tiny children are taught that they should choose their “pronouns,” that they may have been born in the wrong body, and that irreversible surgeries and hormone “therapies” can help them become their “true” selves. “Transition” plans and hiding this from parents are now the norm.

This monstrous situation is the latest peak of the insanity, but ever-more outrageous abuses and atrocities will be perpetrated against American children—at least if the adults in the room, parents who love their children more than anyone on the planet, don’t put a stop to it.

At this point, it should be obvious that everything good and dear is in mortal danger.

Reform? 

The question of “reform” often comes up in discussions on how to address this existential crisis. Can’t the burning building just be reformed?

Whether it be abolishing the U.S. Department of Education and Common Core or reining in the teachers’ unions and banning critical race theory or gender ideology, countless ideas have been proposed. Many have even been tried.

For decades, conservatives have squandered millions on “public-school reform.” For almost two years, conservatives have been showing up at school board meetings to complain. Countless great teachers have tried everything to protect their students.

And yet, nothing works: The system continues to devour children by the millions as the extremism in the classroom escalates and the Biden administration deploys the FBI to terrorize concerned moms.

That’s because the “system” is a hydra with many tentacles: Neutralize or chop one off, and it grows right back while the other tentacles work together to continue devouring the youth.

Talking about “reform” is to answer the wrong question.

It’s like asking how to reform cancer—it’s a silly question. Nobody wants their cancer “reformed.” Rather, they want it cut out and annihilated before it does any more damage.

Talk of “reform” also illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding about what has happened. Government schools aren’t “broken,” as commonly argued by conservatives. Rather, they’re working very well at their intended purpose: fundamentally transforming America by dumbing down, indoctrinating, sexualizing, collectivizing, and weaponizing future generations, as this series has documented extensively in detailed examinations of the architects behind the system.

Even the arguments for a public-school system itself fail the smell test.

Suggesting that the government must control education because a handful of parents may not be able to afford to send their children to school, one of the most common claims, is preposterous.

Apply that same thinking to grocery stores and instantly the absurdity of it becomes clear. It’s true that grocery stores and food are important. And it’s true that there are some people who can’t afford groceries.

But it hardly follows from those two facts that government should create a network of “free” (tax-funded) grocery stores that will determine what, when, how, and even if children will eat. Then imagine those free grocery stores feeding their “customers” toxic waste and you get a sense of the situation America finds itself in with “education.”

Outside of the most brainwashed victims of communist dictatorships in Cuba or North Korea, everybody can see the stupidity of such an idea.

And yet, it’s the same essential idea that underpins the trillion-dollar-per-year atrocity that’s the government-controlled education-industrial complex.

The notion that the public should desire “standardized” children where everyone learns the same thing at the same time in the same way is so outrageous that it almost doesn’t need to be addressed. What other industry would that be tolerated in? Talk about “putting all your eggs in one basket!”

Even if those who created the system had been well intentioned, socialist programs never deliver on promises and always produce failure.

Get Them Out! 

The key question, then, is what to do. For parents, the answer should be obvious by now: It’s time to remove your children from these abusive environments and get them a real education, either at home or in a high-quality private or Christian school.

All of the data shows home-educated children are running circles around their government-“educated” peers on everything from academics and socialization to careers and tolerance. The National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) has been compiling the data for decades.

For most families, home education appears to be the gold standard. Nobody loves your children as much as you do, and nobody is in a better position to provide the personalized, loving, and unique instruction that will help them grow into well-educated adults capable of self-government.

In a fraction of the time and with a fraction of the money, virtually any parent—even those with no high-school diploma—can do a much better job than government schools. In fact, it’s easy to make a compelling argument—only half-jokingly—that doing nothing at all would be better than forcing children to endure 12 years of what passes for “education” in public schools today.

Aside from home education, there are thousands of private schools across the nation doing a wonderful job. Options exist for everyone: Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, classical, experimental, and many more.

However, there are more and more private schools—including “Christian in Name Only” options—that are overpriced replicas of the government’s woke indoctrination centers. Buyer beware.

Pastors, priests, and rabbis should be sounding the alarm, too. Decades of research from the Nehemiah Institute shows the vast majority of Christian children in government schools will leave the faith by the time they get through K-12 indoctrination. That’s no accident.

When I declared publicly for the first time that I thought parents should exit public schools, a number of leading American conservatives I spoke with hesitated.

But times have changed. Just in the last few years, a who’s who of conservative leaders have called on parents to remove their children, and the idea has moved from the fringe into the mainstream of conservatism.

Talk-radio titan Rush Limbaugh, whose show reached an estimated 18 million people per week, called on parents to remove their children from public schools multiple times before he passed away.

Responding to a New Jersey statute requiring LGBT indoctrination of public-school children, one of the most prominent contemporary evangelical leaders in the world, Franklin Graham, also urged parents to pull them out in an interview on Todd Starnes’ radio show.

Even Donald Trump, as president of the United States, repeatedly warned parents to protect their children from the “progressive” “indoctrination” in what he described as “failing government schools.” In fact, he identified this indoctrination as the cause of the unrest and polarization tearing the nation apart.

Other prominent conservative leaders who have called on families to exit the system in recent years include Dennis Prager, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, James Dobson, and many more. Across America, more and more pastors are urging their congregations to ditch government schools, too.

Increasingly, prominent minds have even called for abolishing the system entirely. In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, Columbia law professor Philip Hamburger argued that the system was unconstitutional. Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, citing government schools’ growing hostility to Christianity, made a similar argument last year.

Even some of America’s leading educators have made the case for smashing the system. Late New York City and New York State teacher of the year John Taylor Gatto for many years called on people around the world to demolish government education entirely.

Ironically, key leaders of the education establishment itself are starting to see the writing on the wall. American Federation of Teachers boss Randi Weingarten complained last year that conservatives were now trying to drive families out of public schools into private alternatives.

Millions of families have fled the system in recent years, and millions more will flee in the years to come as awareness spreads.

Re-imagining the System

What America needs is not more “conservatives” on impotent “school boards,” though there’s no harm in running for school board once one’s own children are safely out of the system.

What’s really needed is to rip the destructive government-school monopoly out from the roots and start again from scratch.

Instead of a new education “system,” Americans should seriously consider returning to the 17th and 18th-century paradigm that produced the best-educated, most literate population anywhere on Earth at any time in human history. In short, what’s needed is a “non-system.” Freedom works.

Abolishing government indoctrination centers would not undermine education one bit, any more than abolishing collective agriculture in the Soviet Union ended farming or food production. It would make it drastically better.

There will be other battles ahead. For example, there’s an effort right now to get private schools and even home-educating families dependent on tax dollars so they can be controlled. There are even efforts to ban home education entirely—efforts that, following Adolf Hitler’s example, are gaining traction across Europe and are even being peddled by busybodies and tyrants in Ivy League law schools who think they know better than you how to raise your children.

For a century, conservatives, Christians, and those who love America have been fighting a losing battle against the weaponization of government “education.” No matter how many millions of dollars are wasted in the fight, the situation keeps getting worse.

It’s time to stop playing a rigged game on the education establishment’s battlefield using its rules. American parents should flee the system and build parallel institutions like their country and their liberty depend on it—because they do.

On September 9, 2022, Indiana University (IU) issued a press release announcing that in honor of the 75^th anniversary of the Kinsey Institute, the university has installed a life-size bronze statue of entomologist and pervert extraordinaire Alfred C. Kinsey after whom the Kinsey Institute is named.

Demonstrating the astonishing ignorance of leftists, the press release says,

The sculpture’s installation on the Bloomington campus demonstrates the university’s pride in the living legacy of research and academic freedom Kinsey helped to forge and the institute’s ongoing commitment to equity regarding sexual diversity established by Kinsey’s research.

Well, Kinsey was inarguably a fan of what IU calls euphemistically “sexual diversity,” and his legacy tragically lives on, but neither his predilection for “sexual diversity” nor his legacy are deserving of prideful honors.

Demonstrating a risible absence of irony, Justin Garcia, executive director of the Kinsey Institute, said this—I kid you not:

Dr. Kinsey left us with the extraordinary legacy of his endless scientific curiosity, his unwavering commitments to academic freedom and his passion for understanding humanity’s sexual diversity. … This spectacular sculpture honors Kinsey’s international scholarly and public impact.

I would agree if by “spectacular,” Garcia means “of, relating to, or being a spectacle.”

“Legacy of “endless scientific curiosity” is Newspeak for unbridled, morally untethered sexual license, which is really not all that extraordinary. Countless numbers of perverts share Kinsey’s endless curiosity. The diverse porn pandemic reveals that sick reality. What Kinsey possessed that ordinary, run-of-the-mill perverts lack is the imprimatur of academia.

Having a life-size bronze sculpture of a creeper/criminal who self-identified as a serious scholar is definitely a spectacle and one wholly unworthy of any institution committed to “Lux et Veritas—”Light and Truth.”

Here are some of the salient features of Kinsey’s salacious life and research:

• “In Kinsey’s 1948 report he recounted using nine men to ‘observe’ the sexual responses of children for his research. … ‘Some of these adults … are technically trained persons who have kept diaries or other records which have been put at our disposal.’ He included a chart that indicated that these ‘trained’ adults were inducing sexual ‘orgasms’ in babies as young as five months of age. One four-year-old is reported to have had 26 ‘orgasms’ in 24 hours. An 11- month-old baby had 14 ‘orgasms’ in 38 minutes.”

• In reality, it was revealed in 1995 that all this data came from the diaries of one pedophile named Rex King who attempted to “bring to orgasm boys between the ages of 2 months and 15 years, in some cases over a period as long as 24 hours.” Kinsey eagerly encouraged King to send all his diaries: “I rejoice at everything you send.” In the 2004 movie starring Liam Neeson as Kinsey, the actor portraying King says this:

My grandmother introduced me to sexual intercourse when I was 10. My first homosexual act was with my father. I was 11. The 33 members of my extended family – I’ve had sex with 17 of them. That’s five generations now. … I’ve had sex with 22 separate species of animals. I’ve had intercourse with 9, 412 people. I’ve had sexual relations with 605 pre-adolescent males and 231 pre-adolescent females.

• “In his 1953 report the sexual data was mainly taken from ‘adult partners’ of 609 pre-adolescent girls. Kinsey called these molestations ‘play’ and claimed them harmless.”

• Criteria used to determine when infants were experiencing “orgasm” included “violent convulsions, groaning, ‘an abundance of tears’ (i.e., sobbing), extreme trembling and fainting. In other words, what any normal adult would view as a child’s severe reactions to trauma Kinsey interpreted as children enjoying themselves.”

• Kinsey’s “research” has been criticized for serious methodological and ethical flaws, including using significant numbers of imprisoned child molesters and prostitutes as well as a Nazi pedophile (Friedrich “Fritz” Von Balluseck) but reporting their responses as representative of the population at large.

• The married Kinsey had sex with many men, including students and research assistants.

• Kinsey encouraged his wife to have sex with other men.

• Kinsey recorded sexual activities between his wife and other men, and homosexual acts between men and group sex in his attic.

• Kinsey circumcised himself with a pocketknife at about age 60.

• Kinsey had himself filmed masturbating while inserting objects into his urethra.

American historian and art critic Kelly Grovier writing for the BBC about the BLM rioters who went on a statuary-destruction tear offers this about the meaning of statues:

From their earliest inception … statues were … less about the individuals they depict than about how we see ourselves.

Clearly, Kinsey represents favorably how many Americans see themselves.

While the Founding Fathers, whose statues were defaced or torn down in 2020, were men with moral blind spots, it was not their moral failings that were honored. Today’s Americans don’t see themselves in or seek to honor the moral failings of Thomas Jefferson. No, it was the wisdom and noble efforts to create a more perfect union that Americans honor through their statues of the great men of American history. In their statues, Americans see an aspirational picture of themselves and the country that has been a beacon of light to millions.

In contrast, Kinsey’s depravity is not a moral blind spot that his fans overlook. His depravity is what they celebrate. Kinsey is like Harvey Milk in that regard. Both men are honored by leftists because of their depravity–not despite it.

Grovier continues:

Just how engrained that instinct is – to perceive an aspect of oneself in the image of another – is impossible to measure. Such an impulse may explain why it is so agonisingly difficult to tolerate the persistence of memorials that venerate past masters of pain. Theirs is a suffocating weight. The outrage that many feel about having to share the streets with such hulking ghosts of oppression is deep and crushingly real. 

A statue of Kinsey—the abusive father of the sexual revolution and, therefore, master of incalculable pain—is agonizingly difficult to tolerate. His statue is a suffocating weight. The hulking bronze ghost of Kinsey is a painful reminder of the suffering of the many victims—the slaughtered unborn, children without mothers or fathers, single parents, and children whose minds are being deceived and bodies mutilated—of Kinsey’s sexual revolution.

While repugnant, perhaps the bronze statue at the public Indiana University honoring Alfred Kinsey fits the repugnant contemporary era leftists have socially constructed in America where our public schools train up children in the ways sexually perverse leftists want them to go. At the same time, it is a grotesque reminder of the human suffering Kinsey has caused.

State “education” authorities in Michigan are under fire nationwide after getting caught red-handed encouraging teachers to, among other absurdities and crimes, “transition” children to new “genders” without the consent or even knowledge of their parents. The trainings are almost too outrageous to believe, and yet officials are publicly defending it all.

The growing scandal, which was first exposed by prominent anti-woke activist Christopher Rufo with the Manhattan Institute, has government “school” officials scrambling to perform damage control. But parental outrage over the abuse is growing nationwide as even liberal-media polls show the public has overwhelmingly turned against this sort of brainwashing in school.

The Michigan Department of Education program in question urges government-school “educators” to “facilitate the sexual transition of minors without parental consent,” as Rufo put it in his exposé posted on social media. The trainers also claim the notion that gender is “binary” is a “system of oppression” created by the West that must be dismantled.

There is proof, too, as documents and footage emerge. One leaked training video for teachers features a self-styled “Black, masculine-identified, cisgendered lesbian baby boomer” instructor named “Amorie Robinson.” During the training session, she urges teachers to familiarize themselves with the “terminology” such as “gender fluid,” “gender queer,” or “gender non-conforming.”

According to Robinson, children may “identify” as “asexual, lesbian, straight, gay, bisexual, queer, questioning, demisexual, demiromantic, aromantic, and skoliosexual.” Teachers should “Google on those” because “we ain’t got time today” to examine all the sexual and gender “identities” children might adopt, she said.

Another trainer urges teachers to hide children’s sexual and gender “identities” from parents, even if discussing the child’s desire to commit suicide. “I would one-thousand percent recommend working with the student to let them guide that process,” says the trainer, Phillips-Knope, after recommending teachers refer to children as “earthlings” instead of boys and girls.

When it became a toxic political hot-potato when blasted by GOP gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon, even far-left Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer was forced to condemn it. Her office sent a mild rebuke to the Department of Education and urged it to “review your trainings to ensure they comply with all applicable regulations, maintain department guidelines, and are reflective of best practices.”

In an op-ed published by establishment propaganda organs, Michigan Superintendent of Public Schools Michael Rice defended the abusive “trainings.” In fact, he referred to them as “professional development” to “build the capacity of educators to provide safe, supportive, and inclusive school climates where all students can thrive — especially students who identify as LGBTQ+.”

“Our local educators and support staff care deeply about their students and seek to better understand how to reach students and help them feel accepted, safe, and supported,” Rice continued, adding that anyone who calls out the madness is attempting to “bully” school staff. “Children deserve safe and inclusive environments to minimize their fears and anxieties.”

After falsely denying that teachers were taught to keep parents in the dark, Rice went on to admit that it’s true—but it’s “for the children,” supposedly. “In a situation in which the student is concerned about abuse, neglect, or homelessness if parents are told, educators may be cautious about sharing issues of sexual orientation and gender identity with parents,” he said.

Teachers “have a responsibility not to put children in harm’s way, even inadvertently,” Rice continued, as if government was now in charge of protecting children from their own parents and families—the very people who love them more than anyone else on the planet. “Such decisions are not made lightly and are ultimately about safeguarding the health, safety, and wellbeing of students.”

This is a similar attitude to the one adopted by the Biden administration. As The Newman Report documented earlier this year, the U.S. departments of Justice, Education, and Health and Human Services released a video encouraging children to file federal complaints against their own families and communities if they were not “affirmed” in their chosen sexual proclivities or gender fantasies.

This is collective madness — and it is beyond evil. Adults must stop encouraging and normalizing the madness, for the same reason it would be irresponsible to talk to a schizophrenic’s imaginary friends or encourage an anorexic girl to have liposuction. This dangerous abuse of children should be prosecuted. But as has always been the case, the only true protector of a child will be his or her parents.

Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not on Earth anymore.

By now many Americans have heard—or worse, seen—photos of the male shop teacher in Ontario, Canada who sports mammoth mammaries with erect nipples in skintight tops to class. The mentally ill and morally degenerate teacher goes by his new name, Kayla Lemieux, and he now sashays around school in a drag queen-like costume with wig, womanface, and women’s clothes. It is a grotesque and insulting caricature of women and surely a fetish. I guess mocking women and appropriating womanhood is now a leftist virtue.

The Toronto Sun reports that the Halton District School Board (HDSB) headed up by Margo Shuttleworth, supports the fetishist/teacher/pretend-woman:

Protecting any persons “gender rights” is “the stance the school board is taking and they are standing behind the teacher.”

Would these administrators defend the right of a cross-dressing female teacher to wear a prodigious prosthetic penis to class in skintight biker pants? What about a prodigious erect penis?

What is this strange term “gender rights”? Leftists have emptied “gender” of its earlier meaning, and now it’s a euphemism for the disordered desire to be the sex one is not and to outwardly masquerade as that sex. It appears that when the school board talks about “rights,” they’re talking about socially constructed and imposed school rules that reflect disputed, dogmatic assumptions about “gender.” They’re clearly not talking about objective unalienable rights endowed to humans by our Creator.

Does the HDSB protect only “gender” rights? What about age rights or species rights? Would the district protect the right of a “trans”-agist teacher who self-identifies as an infant and wears a onesie to class? What if a teacher identifies as an animal? Does his right to absolute autonomy, self-definition, and authenticity require the district to allow him to wear a furry costume to class?

Bootlickers for the “trans”-cult who self-identify as reporters are doing what they do best: asking foolish questions. Reporters are asking students for their opinions on the cross-dressing, woman-mocking drag fetishist. Why ask students? Are the thoughts and feelings of minors relevant to an assessment of dress codes or fetishistic classroom behavior by teachers?

Anyone who understands teens knows that they would approve of myriad behaviors that mature and wise adults would find troubling and inappropriate. Teens don’t run schools or establish policies for a reason, and the reason is they lack good judgment, discernment, and wisdom. It’s difficult today to find adults with good judgment, discernment, and wisdom, let alone teens.

This astounding event in Canada evolved ineluctably from the stream of putrid ideas flowing out of the academy, embraced by leftists, and ignored by cowardly or foolish conservatives. Those arguable ideas relate to identity, autonomy, sex/gender theories, and “shaming.”

According to those dogmas, all unchosen, persistent, seemingly intractable feelings or desires—at least sexual ones—are essential constituent features of “authentic identity.” Disapproval of or disagreement with these arguable ideas stigmatizes those who embrace them and may lead to cultural impediments to autonomy and self-actualization. The failure to actualize desires through outward behavior results in life-threatening denial of the self.

By the way, it’s way past time to give shame-shaming the heave ho. All societies shame, stigmatize, and disapprove of some behaviors. The issue is not whether behaviors will be shamed but which behaviors will be shamed, stigmatized, and disapproved of by the culture. In the Upside Down that leftists have socially constructed and imposed on America, evil is affirmed as good.

If Canadians won’t or can’t give this weirdo the boot, the school should be shut down. If he can’t be given the boot and the school can’t be shut down, then every parent should pull their kids out of that school yesterday.

In this socially constructed dystopia, there is no normal and there is no common or public good. There is only the “authentic” solipsistic self, self-defined by boundary-free sexual drives to which other selves must genuflect even if that means denying their authentic selves. Intellectual coherence means nothing to humans in bondage to distorted, depraved sexual appetites.

How is it possible that all those who see the emperor is wearing womanface, women’s clothes, and women’s breasts have let this happen? They really need to go to the attic, find those dusty spines, and cook up some thicker skin in their basement laboratories. Then, if they see something, say something. And everyone can see that guy’s breasts.

A government-school teacher in California is under fire after being exposed teaching his child victims to associate fascism with Christianity, the Republican Party, European ancestry, heterosexuality, and other characteristics or identities.

The scandalous tax-funded indoctrination, first exposed by the Washington Examiner based on photos and testimony from a student in the class, took place in San Diego’s Madison High School. Critics expressed concerns that the propaganda could lead to radicalization and even violent extremism.

In a picture taken by the student whistleblower, the word fascism appears underlined at the top of the board. Underneath that, the English teacher put down terms such as “Trump,” “heterosexual,” “White,” “Christian,” and more.

“He goes on to insult white people and Christian people, automatically putting them under … that they’re automatically fascist,” the student was quoted as saying by the Examiner, which withheld his identity over concerns of retaliation by the teacher or school.

“He just kind of put up that they’re fascists, and they support a fascist government,” continued the student. “Immediately — he didn’t even ask the class about it. He just made the assumption right away that whites and Christians automatically support a fascist government.”

The GOP, too, was targeted, alongside the National Socialist (Nazi) party of Adolf Hitler. “As it is currently constituted, the Republican party is now a fascist organization that no longer fits the category of a conventional Democratic party,” the teacher wrote on the board, photographs show.

According to the student, who took the photos that were published in the media, the incendiary and hateful propaganda was dished out in an English class on August 29 of this year. It happened during a lesson on how to write an “argumentative essay.”

“This completely caught me off guard,” the student was quoted as saying. “This is an English class. This isn’t a political class or anything. I signed up for the class to learn how to write papers and stuff … I didn’t sign up for the class for a teacher to be trying to shove his ideology down my throat.”

The division of Americans by race and other characteristics is a hallmark of Critical Race Theory, a Marxist tool to divide and conquer the nation similar to how class divisions were used in other nations. The addition of Christians and heterosexuals to the “oppressor” class was easy to predict.

In Communist China, Mao’s mass-murdering butchers divided Chinese people into black and red camps. Black class members—business owners, land owners, Christians, and others—were painted as the oppressors. The Red class, meanwhile, was composed of “oppressed” peasants and workers.

Ironically, National Socialism, better known as Nazism, has much in common with the totalitarian beliefs of the progressive movement in America. From an all-powerful state and government partnership with business to the war on free speech, the parallels are clear and ominous.

Similar propaganda is being fiendishly pumped into the minds and hearts of impressionable young Americans from coast to coast — and has been for generations. As the nation implodes amid hate and ignorance, the fruit is now becoming obvious. America will not survive another generation of this.

This article was originally published by Freedom Project Media.

As Mao Zedong took over China with his communist revolutionaries, he sparked one of the largest mass migrations of the 20th century. Between 1948 and 1950, an estimated 2 million Chinese refugees fled Mao’s regime and escaped to Taiwan and other countries around the world. While Mao was razing and restructuring Chinese culture and society, these refugees were able to begin new lives in safer and freer countries.

While the Chinese mass migration makes the history books, a similar 2-million-in-2-years migration is currently happening—across educational borders. An analysis published by Harvard’s Education Next Institute (EN) recently announced that, between the spring of 2020 and the spring of 2022, “Our polling data indicate that district-operated schools lost 4% of student enrollments to other types of schooling between 2020 and 2022.” EN went on to say, “If that percentage is accurate, it means that nearly 2 million students have shifted from traditional public schools to alternative school arrangements.”

Individual examples of the recent dramatic shift in educational choices are not hard to find. While New York City (NYC) public schools have been steadily losing students over the past five years, they lost 10 percent of their remaining students during the COVID-19 epidemic alone. Those children are not expected to return, and the NYC public school system is now at a 15-year enrollment low. California’s state school system is at a 20-year enrollment low; over 270,000 students have left since COVID. Los Angeles alone lost more than 10 percent of students. The Chicago government school system is projected to have lost 100,000 students—more than 25 percent of total enrollment—by the end of the ten-year period between 2015 and 2025.

And states such as Michigan, Rhode Island, and Minnesota have all experienced drops in enrollment, continuing even after the initial COVID-19 year. Now, EN does caution that “the overall picture shows less change than media reports portray,” and that these trends do not constitute a “mass exodus,” but the statistics are nonetheless remarkably significant.

Harsh lockdown policies and virus mitigation measures have surely been significant in shifting the nation’s educational choices. According to Education Next’s analysis:

“In November 2020, Education Next polling data revealed widespread parental worries about the learning loss, social isolation, emotional distress, and physical inactivity induced by school closures, online learning programs, and other measures designed to prevent Covid spread.”

However, the presence of COVID-19 lockdown policies can’t be the only factor; EN also points out that when pandemic measures were relaxed, their polls showed a notable improvement in parent satisfaction. “By spring 2022 … parental distress had subsided.” Yet enrollments continue to decline. Something else must be up.

As the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) suggests, what started as “pandemic pods” during the thick of the crisis eventually became co-ops and “microschools,” which many families have found to work better for them than government schools. Catholic schools and private schools were more likely to remain open during the pandemic and thus received an influx of students. In short, FEE assesses, “Parents are recognizing that they have many more options for their children’s education and are continuing to abandon government-assigned district schools.”

This change is notably visible in EN’s data. Contrary to their government schools over the same two-year period, private schools (8 to 10 percent), charter schools (5 to 7 percent) and homeschooling (6 to 7 percent) all boasted shares of enrollment greater than when the pandemic started. And the enrollment numbers match the parental polls:

“Parents expressed higher levels of satisfaction with their child’s school if their student was attending a private or charter school rather than a district school.”

This change in the nation’s educational landscape has provoked a range of reactions from the nation’s leaders—on the one hand, no fewer than 18 new states over the past two years have passed laws broadening education choice. However, not all government officials have been as friendly to the widening school choice trend; the U.S. Department of Education recently considered instituting new hurdles for charter schools to receive government funds, inciting bipartisan protest and raising the hue and cry of even powerful liberal advocate Michael Bloomberg. Government reactions to parental choices will likely continue to unfold along one or the other of those two lines, and for Christians, who are commanded to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-2), this is both a timely and an important area to focus on.

In a plummeting culture such as ours, educational choice is becoming increasingly imperative. Former governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, inadvertently expressed one reason why: “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” This is a stark departure from the biblical model of education, in which parents are responsible for teaching their children (Deuteronomy 6:7, Ephesians 6:4). Schools help parents accomplish that goal; parents don’t abdicate their responsibility to the school system, and neither should that responsibility be divested from them by force of law.

When parents decide that their child would be better served by a private school, charter school, homeschooling, or online learning, it should not be the authority of the school district, local, state or federal governments to tell them otherwise. Doing so flips the biblical model on its head, and comments such as McAuliffe’s are foundationally wicked, because they imply that schools, not parents, are the ultimate authority over the education of children.

Education freedom should be championed in every state in the Union. Make no mistake about it, parents who want their children to attend government schools should be able to do so. However, the rising migration across educational borders—only accelerated by the the pandemic—also means “we, the people,” must work to reduce all barriers to education choices so that parents, not the government, are enabled to make the best decisions possible about their children’s development. This should be a consideration in picking candidates to vote for in this upcoming election, and in every future election we participate in.

“Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

Days ago at a private fundraiser, our semi-pervy, semi-senile semi-president said that “not just Trump” but “the entire philosophy that underpins”—well, that’s where it gets a bit fuzzy, since our semi-articulate president broke off his semi-thought for a semi-moment as is his practice. When Biden-the-Unifier regained consciousness, he described “the entire philosophy that underpins”—presumably support for Trump—as “semi-fascism.” From Project Veritas’ stunning exposé, it sure seems leftists are the semi-fascists.

Watch the video below to see Jeremy Boland, assistant principal of Cos Cob Elementary School in the affluent community of Greenwich, Connecticut admitting that he won’t hire Catholics or older applicants as teachers because they’re likely to be conservative:

Boland said,

Protestants in this area [Greenwich, Connecticut] are probably the most liberal. But if they’re Catholic, [they’re] conservative. … You don’t hire them. … It’s like they’re brainwashed. You can never change their mindset.

I wonder if Boland is more open to changing his mindset than conservative Catholics are. If not, has he been brainwashed?

Boland illegally discriminates based not only on religion but also on age:

I need younger [teachers]. … So, for one position, I think we had 30 applicants. So out of all those applicants, I don’t think I interviewed anybody over the [age] of 30 … because sometimes the older you get, the more set in your ways, the more conservative you get.

Boland revels in his own semi-fascistic presumptuousness:

I can’t get past the parents. … So, the parents feels it’s their responsibility to shape the schools, which then shape the kids. So, since I can’t get past the parents, do I really have as much of an influence on the kids as … I want? I try in my own way. Right now, my job is to hire the right teachers.

Boland is too modest. He has—till now—been getting “past the parents” by hiring the “right teachers,” meaning semi-fascistic leftist teachers.

Boland admits that these “right teachers” are as devious as he is. They use “subtle” and “savvy” ways to persuade elementary school children that the “liberal” or “Democratic” way of doing things is just “the norm.” How might they do this? Well, for example, Boland shares that a teacher might say,

If 80% of the country is in favor of this law, but yet the Supreme Court just said “no,” what are you gonna do when it comes time to cast your vote, which then has a direct influence on who gets picked for the Supreme Court?

Leading young malleable minds down the semi-fascistic path is justifiable to semi-fascist Boland because he believes he does not work for the parents who pay his salary:

Do we work for the parent or do we work for the kid? We work for the kid.

But he’s not working for the kids either. He’s working for the semi-fascist leftist Hive.

To accomplish the Hive’s goal of severe social regimentation, which depends on ideological regimentation, Boland must filter out conservatives during the interview process, a task at which he is apparently very good. He proudly acknowledges that he hasn’t hire a single conservative yet.

Boland says that if a prospective hire were to indicate she doesn’t believe “kids have enough knowledge” about themselves to make decisions about “transitioning,” then that teacher is “out,” she’s “done.”

Sounds like severe social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition to me.

Last time I checked, it is leftists who stand for a much bigger centralized government that can tax Americans into oblivion and redistribute their hard-earned money as leftists see fit, which means in the service of creating a society unfit for human flourishing. It is leftists who stand for severe economic regimentation via increasing socialist policies that take from everyone and leave all but the elite suffering.

It is leftists who exalt race (and deviant sexual interests) above the individual and individual merit.

While conservatives of all stripes do love America, they don’t “exalt” it above individual rights. Rather, they better understand than leftists/semi-fascists what constitutes an individual right as well as the origin and source of our inalienable individual rights.

Leftists/semi-fascists believe they are the source of individual rights and that individual rights include the right of powerful humans to slaughter innocent powerless humans.

It is leftists who have decided all Nazi-like that imperfect humans have lives unworthy of life (Lebensunwertes Leben).

It is leftists who have assumed all Nazi-like, a semi-fascistic right to experiment on the bodies of children, sterilizing boys and girls, and cutting off the breasts of girls.

It is leftists who have decided that the government may sever fit parents who reject Hive beliefs from the children they love and want to protect from bodily mutilation.

It is leftists who treat people as representatives of a group as opposed to individuals.

It is leftist public school teachers—the slimy tentacles of an octopean Big Brother—who have decided they have a right to conceal critical information from parents about their own children.

It is leftists who fascistically, covertly, cunningly, and illegally discriminate in hiring against men and women based on their religion and age.

It is leftists who control what materials and ideas children will be exposed to and who ban books that challenge, critique, or dissent from leftist “gender” and sexuality ideologies.

It is leftists—not Trump voters—who seek severe social regimentation via publicly subsidized indoctrination camps.

It takes prodigious hubris, a mountain of ignorance, a dollop of deceit, and a heaping helping of hypocrisy for any leftist to call those who voted for Trump in 2016 and/or 2020 “semi-fascists.”

A plague of biblical proportions and grotesque unsightliness has descended on America: drag queens.

Just eight years ago, drag queens were a smallish plague found only in weird clubs catering to weird adults with weird “entertainment” tastes. Then lesbian/unfit mother Michelle Tea’s darkened mind spawned a dark idea that she mistook for a brilliant one: drag queen story hours for preschoolers at public libraries. The dark idea has swept the nation in a movement that only a father of lies could love. And now it’s landed in Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo, giving new meaning to the zoo’s motto: “Lincoln Park Zoo. For Wildlife. For All.”

The zoo’s event planners decided that Sunday, October 2, at the beginning of the zoo’s October Fall Fest, would be the perfect time for cross-dressing men to read stories to preschoolers. The planners apparently aren’t worried about that millstone hanging around their necks.

Longtime zoo member and mother of three Ruth Timlin has called for a boycott of the zoo until zoo leadership commits to no longer hosting divisive, inappropriate, and family-unfriendly events like the upcoming Drag Storytime. Timlin writes,

[B]y hosting Drag Queens as entertainment for children Lincoln Park Zoo ostracizes and damages its relationship with Christians, Sunday schools, church youth groups, among many other faiths within the community that have been supporting the zoo for years.

Donors and members should take their dwindling discretionary income and use it for better causes.

In November 2016, The New Yorker published a short piece about the lesbian mother behind drag queen story hours:

On a recent Saturday morning, about two dozen small children and their parents gathered in the Park Slope branch of the Brooklyn Public Library for a new reading series. … The event was hosted by Michelle Tea, a writer from Los Angeles, who started attending library story hours after becoming a mom. She’d brought her partner, Dashiell Lippman, and their two-year-old son, Atticus. … “He is pretty butch—we call him Fratticus,” Tea said. “I’m always pushing a tutu on him, but he’s, like, ‘No.’”

Tea’s solution, called Drag Queen Story Hour, introduces elements of gender bending and camp. “I have long thought that drag queens need to be the performers at children’s parties, rather than magicians or clowns,” she said. “Drag has become more mainstream. Kids might have seen one on a billboard or on TV.”

…

Tea made her way to the front of the room. “Do you all know what a drag queen is?” she asked the children. “Drag queens are amazing. They get to do fun things like dance and sing and travel and play dress-up with their drag-queen friends. And they’re all feminists.” The parents chuckled politely.

The drag queen Lil Miss Hot Mess came out, wearing a white sequinned tunic dress and matching heels, bright-pink tights, and a curly auburn wig. … She [sic] put on black owlish reading glasses, sat on a folding chair, and addressed her [sic] audience: “Can everyone say, ‘When I grow up, I want to be a drag queen’?”

This was not my first unpleasant virtual encounter with Tea and her lesbian “wife” (now ex-wife) Lippman. Earlier in 2016, I wrote this about the couple:

In a buzzy Buzzfeed video, two gender-nonconforming lesbians, Dashiell and Michelle, discuss their efforts to raise their toddler son Atticus to be free of the constraints of gender. Mom Michelle, who became pregnant via a sperm donor, has concluded that gender “ultimately doesn’t mean anything.” Michelle tries to “queer” her “relationship with” 17-month-old Atticus, which includes attempting to “get him to a wear tutu.” Michelle admits Atticus “hates it.” Atticus calls Dashiell, the “gender-queer” parent, “Baba,” which Michelle explains is a name that “more masculine female people and even some transmen [i.e., women pretending to be men] who are parents are going by.”

Michelle frets that Atticus has a book with pictures of girls and boys identified as girls and boys. While reading it, she replaces the offending nouns, explaining, “I’m like ‘child, child.’” Michelle explains why she bowdlerizes the text: “This is where he’s learning what things are, and … I hate the idea that he’s getting imprinted on him, the idea that people who look like this are boys and people who look like that are girls. … Sometimes the best thing to do is to be constantly challenging, and sometimes it’s … just to ignore gender completely.” Michelle expresses relief that because Atticus is being raised by gender-non-conforming, masculine-looking Dashiell, he will learn about the “reality of what gender is or isn’t.”

Here’s a bit more about the troubled former prostitute Michelle Tea who has spawned the plague of drag queen child-groomers. According to Wikipedia, Tea “was in a relationship with Katastrophe” a woman who very convincingly masquerades as a man. Then in 2013, Tea married lesbian Dashiell Lippman, who pretends to be “nonbinary.” Tea gave birth to a son, the product of a drag queen friend’s sperm and Dashiell’s younger egg that Tea incubated. She and Lippman divorced. In 2021, Tea became engaged to TJ Payne, a woman who masquerades as a man. Lesbian Lippman went on to marry another woman.

Those who don’t live near Lincoln Park may want to choose a visit to the Paramount School of the Arts in Aurora, Illinois that is “proud to present Drag Queen Story Hour with Drag Queen Story Hour Chicago,” featuring “Alexis Hex” and “Coco Sho Nell” on the very same Sunday, Oct. 2. There are two sessions available, one for 6–9-year-olds and one for 10–12-year-olds.

It turns out that when society subsidizes, affirms, and celebrates a phenomenon—including even a depraved phenomenon—it spreads. So now, drag queens are as prevalent as locusts, frogs, and (monkeypox?) boils in Egypt. Drag queens are swishing and sashaying about in libraries, zoos, park districts, Main Street parades, churches, bookstores, children’s television, and theaters.

Pray for our nation’s emotionally, spiritually, psychologically, and intellectually malleable little ones. If they manage to survive the womb, they may end up one day at their local library, zoo, or theater where depraved adults will serve perversion to them on glittery platters.
