Those words, “. . . let them die,” referred to any parents who disagreed with a multitude of educational and ideological positions of the speaker and teachers. You may have heard of the rant by NAACP first vice president Michelle Leete. She is also vice president of training at the Virginia state PTA and vice…

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…
CLIMATE CHANGE—GOOD OR BAD?
Did you ever change your furniture around to make the traffic flow better? Did you ever change a baby’s diaper and put on a clean one? Did you ever change clothes to be cooler, warmer, or more appropriately dressed for an occasion? Did you ever change a flat tire? We’ve probably all done most, if…
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,…
YES, THERE IS SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN!
The writer of Ecclesiastes, the Teacher, doesn’t pull punches. He said, “Whatever has been is what will be again, and whatever has already been done is what will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun.” And this isn’t the first year we’ve heard of graduation speeches by valedictorians being shredded and the…
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…
ARE YOUR CHILDREN BEING INOCULATED?
I’m not talking about being vaccinated against COVID-19. My question is directed to whether your children are being inoculated against being susceptible to your values, your morality, your love of God. I’m going to use this blog post to quote from my book, Who’s Got Dibs on Your Kids? Because in this context it will…
REFUSE HATE—REJECT WOKE
I do not watch the Academy Awards. I do not like what they encourage and support. However, this year’s Awards made it into the news in a way that caught my attention. The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award was presented to Tyler Perry. In his acceptance speech, he made a statement that was sufficiently surprising…
MOMS FORM A UNION
TV news just covered a mom who had her fill of schools not opening. She started her own union of moms who felt the way she did. I applaud her willingness to take action, but I was surprised when I did an online search to find out more. I thought her complaint, as well as other…
