Tiza is back in the news again. Apparently the taxpayer funded Islamic charter school isn’t […]

There are 3 House bills which are important to parents rights this week. The information for both came from Bobbie Patray (TFRW Legislative/Research Chairman). Remember at election time that a vote for a Democrat (any Democrat) running for the TN House is a vote for the continuing reign of House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh. […]

I have not been someone who has put much thought into the theory of evolution. A few years back (within 5 years) I heard a discussion on talk radio between a Darwinist and the talk show host (I think it might have been Michael Medved). The lingering thought which stayed with me was […]

Think again if you think this is the Ivy League, Harvard is more like the Desert League bought and paid for by Saudi oil money with Sharia in control.
Harvard Goes Halal
Islamofascism: Separate gym hours for Muslim coeds. Calls to prayer. Lectures on Shariah finance. A campus in the Mideast? Nope. It’s all happening at America’s […]

Here’s a review of the original case from March 2006:
Sgt Christian M. DeJohn (PA NG) - Discrimination at Temple University, PA
The crass and blatent discrimination displayed by Temple University against Christian DeJohn is beyond belief. The amazing component about this story is that DeJohn wasn’t deployed to Iraq he was deployed to Bosnia. While serving […]

Earlier in March Katherine Kersten wrote about the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TIZA) which is a taxpayer funded charter school.

Now that the Forest Lake High School (in Minnesota) has received a lot of negative attention the school administrators have changed their story on why they canceled the appearance by the Vets for Freedom Heroes Tour.

First I have a nit. The holiday of Presidents Day has always grated for me. I think it’s ridiculous there’s a holiday for Martin Luther King yet the first president of our country is lumped into a holiday called “Presidents Day”. It just seems to me if we’re going to honor someone […]

Katherine Kersten writes about the Golden Gopher Army ROTC at the University of Minnesota. From purpose to fitness to leadership…..the program continues to attract students and in fact has grown in the past couple years. How could that be - we’re at war and according to lefty wingnuts an illegal war. It […]

From The Hill:
The left-leaning Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) asked the Senate Ethics Committee this week to investigate whether Landrieu acted illegally when she earmarked $2 million for Voyager Expanded Learning four days after receiving $30,000 in campaign contributions from executives with the educational products company.
Why else would Landrieu earmark $2M for […]

I thought schools did background checks and employment verification prior to employment? After all, it’s for “The Children”. Guess “The Children” don’t count when it comes to illegal aliens, even sexual predators who are illegals!  The sad situation is that I rarely post stories about criminal actions of illegal aliens, if I did […]

Once again this wretched act was brought to the Senate floor and it lost the cloture vote.  This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time.  These pro-illegal law breakers continue to pander for their cheap labor and illegal voting bloc. 
The Republicans on this list of those voting for cloture are:  […]

Why doesn’t this surprise me about Hamline University?

A Christian church-affiliated university in St. Paul, Minn., has suspended a student after he raised questions about the campus ban on concealed weapons, and is ordering him to have a mental health […]

Utah’s voters go to the polls on Nov. 6th and their vote could affect education reform nationwide. And the unions are out in full force pouring money against the initiative. The referendum is a result of a voucher bill signed into law and subsequently challenged.

But he’s just trying to open the kids minds to all possibilities!
‘History’ Teacher Asks 14-Year-Olds to Renounce U.S. Citizenship
One often hears that government schools in totalitarian nations brainwash their children to love the government. People in free nations decry that as oppressing the free will of innocent children, and rightly so. In American schools, however, […]

Randall Hoven at American Thinker has added a part two with additional commentary ( part I )
An explanation of his list:
I also tried to include only examples that had fairly unambiguous resolutions, such as a reporter getting fired, officially disciplined, resigning, or successfully sued. Plagiarism in particular has shades of gray. If held […]

What a shocker…….NOT.  What’s laughable are the reasons this article give for a “change” in the level of donations and why it’s mostly to the Dhimmicrats. One of the reasons cited was because foreign academics were denied visas into the country to speak or teach. What comes to my mind are the terrorist […]

So the pro-illegal alien politicians couldn’t get their amnesty plan passed in the light of day.  Now they are trying to sneak it in the dark of night by adding sections of the bill to unrelated bills.

What do our elected officials do when they don’t get their way […]

Tn Democrat Senators went beyond Bredesen’s requested 40 cent cigarette tax increase and added 2 cents.  All 16 Senators and Independent Mike Williams voted for the increase. 
I have to say I’m relieved no Republican Senators voted for this ridiculous increase when the state is sitting on an over collection of taxes in excess of […]
