American Universities mandate control like they learned from Orwell’s ‘1984’

(FOX) Earlier this year, Stanford University shelved its Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative (EHLI) in response to public scrutiny and faculty pressure. Professor Russell A. Berman said the initiative, which attempted to suppress the use of commonsense terms such as “American,” “ladies,” and “white paper,” was a “catastrophe for the university.”

Stanford has apparently not yet fully absorbed that lesson, as it still maintains an internal “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) Content Style Guide” that is “intended to serve as a resource for campus communicators.”

The guide states that “it is not intended to constrain the academic freedom or free speech rights of members of the Stanford community,” but it takes positions on topics that remain matters of public and academic controversy, and it is part of the university’s official “Identity Guide.”

The entry for “gender, gender identity” says that “Not all people fall under one of two categories for sex or gender, according to leading medical organizations, so avoid using both sexes, either sex, or opposite sexes to encompass all people.” Colin Wright, an evolutionary biologist, maintains that sex is binary, as do many other scientists and doctors. Should a university communications office be canonizing beliefs that may well be pseudoscientific?

The DEIB guide also claims that “Islamophobia” “encompasses the belief that Western and Eastern civilizations have irreconcilable differences in political, economic, and social beliefs.” Is no one at Stanford allowed to agree with the ideas of political scientists Samuel Huntington, Bernard Lewis, or even the politically liberal Sam Harris?

The willingness to decide…

Stolen Youth: How the woke, like all totalitarians, are targeting our children

The insidiousness of wokeism isn’t a twist of fate; it’s a strategy of brainwashing that has affected every corner of our culture

(FOX) My great-grandfather, Aron Gelberg, died in a gulag near the Kuril Islands in eastern Russia sometime in the late 1930s. Gulag stands for Glavnoye Upravleniye Ispravitelno-Trudovykh Lagerey or Chief Administration of Corrective Labor Camps, a bureaucratic name for forced labor camps maintained during the time of the Soviet Union.

Aron and his wife, Chaya, had owned a bakery in Gomel, Belarus, when private enterprise became illegal under the rule of Josef Stalin.

Other people in the gulags were politicians, intellectuals, artists or simply related to one of those objectionable persons. Some were there because they had said the wrong thing, others because they didn’t say the right thing strongly enough. My grandmother and her siblings were children when their father was taken away, but they learned the lesson: obey…

Documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show a private company’s unprecedented effort to inject DEI into classrooms

(Aaron Sibarium, Washington Free Beacon) In January 2020, Walmart approached public school administrators in Bentonville, Arkansas, about hosting diversity training sessions for the district.

“We want people to feel welcomed, comfortable, and safe living here” in Northwest Arkansas, Candice Jones, Walmart’s head of diversity, emailed district leaders, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. To that end, the company was offering to arrange teacher training sessions with a North Carolina-based consultancy known as the Racial Equity Institute, a group “devoted to creating racially equitable organizations and systems.”

“This would be great for teacher development and a great way to connect with the community,” Jones said.

By August, teachers were learning that “perfectionism” is “white supremacy” and that “all our systems, institutions, and outcomes emanate from the racial hierarchy on which the United States was built.”

Bentonville—the site of Walmart’s corporate headquarters—wasn’t…

(FOX) A Florida teacher was allowed to work for weeks at a middle school after allegedly telling her assistant principal that she wanted to shoot some students.

The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office told FOX 13 that deputies removed guns from the home of the unnamed teacher after she had a conversation with the Fox Chapel Middle School assistant principal in late March, saying that she was “having bad thoughts” and “wanted to shoot some students.”

In a report from the sheriff’s office, the school resource officer said that the assistant principal made him aware of the comments. The assistant principal went to the teacher’s classroom, who told the administrator that she was “having bad thoughts.”

In a conversation with the guidance counselor, according to the report, the teacher allegedly said that she was upset because she “learned about a social media post where people were talking negatively about her sexual orientation.”…

Union Leaders and Education Bureaucrats Have Long Ignored Parents. Now Parents Have Had Enough.

(Keri D Ingraham, RealClearWire) Since the nationwide school closures in the spring of 2020, parents have become painfully aware that public schools have conflicting interests with their own and are failing to effectively educate their children. Consequently, parents are looking for educational alternatives for their children—and the K-12 education market is changing.

Parents of public school students have put up with prolonged school closures, poor remote instruction, reduced instruction hours, mask mandates, vaccine mandates (in some cases), and even being restricted from their child’s school campus beyond the parking lot or school office in the name of “safety.”

Combine all this with the schools’ active promotion of critical race theory, gender ideology, climate hysteria, and an anti-American worldview, and it’s no wonder that more and more families want out.

Dissatisfaction with public schools has snowballed, as teachers’ unions and educational establishment leaders, in conjunction with left-wing politicians, have failed to…

The Left Is Driving Our Children Insane

(Gary Bauer, The Patriot Post) Vice President Kamala Harris addressed a climate conference in Florida last week. During her remarks, she spoke about the “climate mental health” struggles that many children and younger adults are facing today.

Harris said some young adults are worried about starting a family. Why? Because AOC says the world will be destroyed in 12 years. That was five years ago, so we’ve only got seven years left.

This is insane!

Climate change isn’t causing mental health issues. The left’s apocalyptic rhetoric is causing mental health issues! That’s what the left has done to our children. They’ve scared our kids to death.

COVID hysteria did tremendous psychological damage to our children. When they’re not explaining sodomy to kindergartners, they’re telling little kids that global warming is killing Santa’s reindeer.

There is now an identifiable psychosis among children known as “climate anxiety,” thank you Al Gore! It’s so bad that some universities are hiring special counselors and holding “climate stress therapy sessions” to help these college-aged “children” cope because they’re so depressed about the future due to “global warming.”

Even the liberals at Vox have tried to push back against this insanity.

But that’s not the only way left-wing lunacy has harmed our children.

Leftists have been telling our children that there is no God. They’re simply animals with nothing divine or…

(TownHall.COM) NBC News host Chuck Todd claimed on Sunday that Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is “politicizing” schools after he approved curriculum to teach children about the evils of communism.

Todd made the remarks on Sunday’s “Meet the Press” while discussing DeSantis’ recent trip to Las Vegas. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, DeSantis spoke to attendees about how Nevada can take pointers from Florida when it comes to pushing back against the Democratic Party’s agenda. Nevada recently elected Republican Joe Lombardo in the midterms.

“We’re also the first state in the country to establish every November 10th, the day in our schools is earmarked, to teach our students at all grade levels about the evils of Communist regimes throughout history. We’re going to tell the truth about Marxism and Leninism…
