Washington State Senate Bill 5020 – Immediate Action Required
Parental choice alert! Another attempt to take control of our children. Currently parents can wait until their children are 8 years old before required to participate in formal education. In 2022 an effort was made to change that 8 year old requirement to 5 years old but it failed. Not to waste a good opportunity for more control they are coming back shooting for Age 6 as the new standard. Summary of SB 5020: This bill will bring the mandatory age of attending school to 6 years of age. - it removes the parental decision of when a child should be placed into public or private school or home-based instruction - it is another step in allowing government to dictate decisions on … [Read more...]
Is it Time We Stopped Viewing Schools as the Best Parent?
So many working families either single parent or both. So little time to keep track of everything...including education. It appears there has been a trend of schools taking over some of the parental responsibilities. Today's article was originally published at Intellectual Takeout and written by Annie Holmquist. The article is 5 years old...but if you didn't know that you would think it's current. The issue hasn't gone away...it's seen by more today. When it comes to school, educators always know best, right? This assumption was challenged by Jay Matthews in The Washington Post over the weekend. After reporting on an incident at a high caliber high school where parents felt educators … [Read more...]
I’m a Former Teacher. Here’s How Your Children Are Getting Indoctrinated by Leftist Ideology.
This article ran ~2 years ago. Read it. Has anything changed? What and how? It was published at Heritage and written by Douglas Blair. Key Takeaways It isn’t just a matter of actively teaching that America and the West are evil. Suppression of “wrongthink” is equally as important to the brainwashing process. The young adults who today gleefully tear down statues of the Founding Fathers were incubated in our very own schools. Conservatives must demand an end to the indoctrination of our youth or face a new American public taught since childhood that the country shouldn’t exist. Your children are being indoctrinated. The education system designed to … [Read more...]
The Sabotage of Public Education
From an article published at American Thinker written by https://www.americanthinker.com/author/bruce_deitrick_price/ Genuine rigorous testing of educational ideas is rare in America. Why? Because practical testing usually goes against what the professors want to do. Their impractical ideas don't perform well in the real world. For example, Operation Follow-Through was the biggest, most systematic testing in American education, continuing for ten years, 1967 to 1977. This research showed absolutely that common sense, often called Direct Instruction, works best. Quite simply, that's where a teacher teaches, and students learn. Honest educators would say, okay, that's what … [Read more...]
How Activist Teachers Recruit Kids
From The Truth Fairy (Abigail Shrier) from Substack we get a view of teacher activism in schools. Leaked Documents and Audio from the California Teachers Association Conference Reveal Efforts to Subvert Parents on Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Incensed parents now make news almost daily, objecting to radical material taught in their children’s public schools. But little insight has been provided into the mindset and tactics of activist teachers themselves. That may now be changing, thanks to leaked audio from a meeting of California’s largest teacher’s union. Last month, the California Teachers Association (CTA) held a conference advising teachers on best practices for … [Read more...]
How Far Will They Go to Silence Parents?
From Red State and Jeff Charles an article worth reading. The activist media constantly excoriates them. The National School Board Association colluded with the federal government to label them as “domestic terrorists.” At least one school board is forcing them to dox themselves if they seek to speak out against Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the classroom. Now, another school district is targeting parents who have been outspoken against wokeism being infused into the curriculum at their children’s schools. AZ Free News reported: The Scottsdale Unified School District’s administration is scrambling to do damage control after a group of mothers discovered Governing Board President … [Read more...]

Camas School District embraces “white fragility” and becomes “woke”
The current "wokeness" fad has come to Southwest Washington and specifically the Camas School District. Here's what we've learned: In late June we were contacted by some people in the Camas district suggesting we look into some new staff training curriculum that was being offered. We reached out to the Camas School Board and asked for some information. It took ~10 days and multiple emails but we got a response. Decide for yourself whether this is appropriate, needed and desirable. If you want to learn more about Ms. DiAngelo here is a link to her website: https://robindiangelo.com/about-me/ This is the email string of our interactions: On Wednesday, July 1, 2020, 05:05:15 … [Read more...]
