According to Attorney General Merrick Garland, you might be a domestic terrorist. Effectively immediately, the National Security Division is handling the investigation of “harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation’s public schools.” I have long advocated that parents not sit back and be afraid that if…

TOM BRADY: NOT PLAYING—MIGHT GET BOOED
I just saw some football news that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be playing against the Patriots for the first time since Tom Brady made the switch. But Tom Brady will not be the quarterback. He said the ones who used to be his fans might boo him. THAT IS NOT TRUE!!! I made that…
SEME or SEE ME NOT: Part III
The SEME (Search Engine Manipulation Effect) is real. Now let’s work on the “ SEME (see me) NOT,” or avoiding SEME, part. The first and most reliable way is to turn daily to Scripture. Is your opinion of right and wrong wavering? Go to the Bible. Do you see your kids questioning what you say?…
The SCHOOL Act of 2020: What It Means for You
In my last post I wrote about the complications involved in the legislation for school choice. Further research has led me to Senate Bill 4432 introduced by Senator Rand Paul in August 2020. It is called the ‘‘Support Children Having Open Opportunities for Learning Act of 2020’’ or the short version is SCHOOL Act of…
GETTING READY FOR “BACK TO SCHOOL”

If you are a parent, you probably don’t need me to tell you that. But, as a parent, you may need a reminder about some things less mundane than…
DROWNING CAN HAPPEN IN SECONDS
Driving past a number of fire stations this summer, I kept seeing the sign in front of them, “DROWNING CAN HAPPEN IN SECONDS.” A fire department website has a video that scrolls through similar messages: “Drowning can happen at any age” and “Never swim alone at any age.” Most of us probably know the truth…
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS
I remember a few words of an old song, “The stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas.” The brightest stars in Texas right now are the legislature and Governor Abbott for signing into law the bill regarding what is to be taught in Dallas public school history classes. Governor…
CRT—ONE STEP TOO FAR?
Those who desire to change E Pluribus Unum—Out of Many, One—to Divide and They Will Submit, may have taken their plans one step too far. I must admit that I was getting discouraged. Turmoil erupted in city after city. Hate-filled signs and graffiti were impossible to ignore. High-end retail stores to mom-and-pop businesses were looted,…
CRITICAL RACE THEORY: LOUDOUN COUNTY PARENTS REVOLT
Critical Race Theory has the parents of school kids in Loudoun County, Virginia, in a full-blown revolt. They have more than 1,000 signatures on a petition to recall six of their nine school board members and are certain they will get the required 17,390 to get the job done. This is the kind of action…
