When the FBI tags you, it is definitely not a game! It may be because you attended a school board meeting to speak your objections about what is being taught to your kids, or maybe waved a sign you made, or raised your voice to a shout. If you brought attention to yourself and your…

IS VIRGINIA’S ELECTION REALLY A PRO-FAMILY VOTE?
The vote for a new governor for the state of Virginia has become national news. One candidate, Terry McAuliffe, has publically stated that he believes parents have no say in what is taught their children in public schools. The other candidate, Glenn Youngkin, says parents have a right to care about what is being…
PARENTS: ARE YOU DOMESTIC TERRORISTS?
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…
SEARCH ENGINE MANIPULATION EFFECT: Part II
Picking up, more or less, where I left off in my last post, I’m getting ready to start the “what if.” I hope you’ll join me in the effort. I mentioned many of our kids are turning away from the belief systems they were taught at home. They have altered their views on abortion, critical…
Government-backed Pre-School
The tragedy of what is happening in Afghanistan is pretty much directing our concerns right now, but let’s not let the plans for public pre-school drop from our focus. If we do, the government control of our kids at ages three and four could be almost as great a disaster as letting the Taliban take…
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…
SCHOOL CHOICE LEGISLATION IS COMPLICATED
In my last post, I suggested you consider placing your children in a parochial school rather than continuing to send them to the public school where one problem after another seems to rear its ugly head. Now we have to talk about how to accomplish that. Here is an excerpt from my book, Who’s Got…
WHEN A PROBLEM BECOMES A CHOICE BECOMES A CRISIS
I don’t ordinarily use this blog to voice my general political opinions, but sometimes I have to when politics affects our kids. This is one of those times. It is beyond denial that we have long had an illegal immigration problem. However, that problem was mitigated by a number of actions taken by President Trump….
GETTING READY FOR “BACK TO SCHOOL”
Back-to-School ads are everywhere. More cars are in school parking lots as teachers prepare. Children (most of them) are excited. School is about to start again. 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…
