(The Federalist) Many education policymakers and equity advocates on the left have insisted that different educational outcomes among various racial and ethnic student groups are mainly due to demographic factors, such as race and socioeconomic status. But a new study has shown that culture, rather than demographics, is mainly responsible for “excellence gaps,” the disparities in advanced academic performance between

(The Federalist) Whenever conservatives oppose obscene material on children’s library shelves, leftists dispute the characterizations and claim the right just wants to ban books. A shocking new report about the aims of the American Library Association’s president, however, vindicates parents’ fears. The American Accountability Foundation, a conservative nonprofit, published a video and memo this month compiling radical quotes from Emily

(Redoubt News) Bonner County, Idaho has made history in this country with a Restraining Order (RO) successfully placed upon a sitting elected commissioner by another sitting elected commissioner.

(Idaho Freedom Foundation) The Boise School District (BSD) has been training teachers in radical gender ideology, including pressuring teachers to affirm students’ different sexual identities such as “pansexual,” “transgender,” “gender queer,” and “non-binary.” Teachers were told to use pronouns corresponding to a student’s gender identity, regardless of their deeply held personal or religious beliefs. They were given resources from radical

(Daily Wire) The mother of a teenage girl who at the age of 14 fell into the hands of sex traffickers is suing the Virginia school district she blames for her daughter’s trauma and the government lawyer who interfered with her efforts to return the girl home.

(Townhall) A majority of residents in the blue state of Oregon have had enough with the results of a 2020 ballot initiative that decriminalized hard drugs. When 1,000 registered Oregon voters were asked in a recent Emerson College survey if they believed in a full repeal or leaving Measure 110 as is, 56 percent preferred a full repeal. When given

(Daily Wire) Washington state paid a group of drag queens and transgender activists thousands of dollars in taxpayer funds to teach government employees how to “fight for trans liberation,” according to public records and video obtained by The Daily Wire. The nearly 2-hour long presentation, titled “Drag Story Hour and Fireside Chat,” featured several activists from Drag Story Hour, which

(The Stream) What will it mean if Donald Trump gets sentenced to prison? Or if he is even declared ineligible for office, as some lawyers linked to the conservative Federalist Society are trying (for murky reasons) to prove? Let’s try to step back and think about these things in a coolly disinterested fashion, like Mr. Spock on Star Trek. Or

(Townhall) On Monday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against a school district that implemented a policy requiring staffers to inform parents of their children’s gender identity. The Chino Valley Unified School District in San Bernardino County adopted a new policy that protects parental rights by requiring them be notified if their child begins going by a chosen

(Townhall) Most of our schools teach almost nothing of importance, and nothing is more important than the study of good and evil. In the United States today, nearly all schools, from elementary through graduate, concentrate on teaching about racism, sexism, preferred pronouns, homophobia, transphobia, LGBTQIA+, climate change, diversity, equity, inclusiveness and white guilt. In other words, most of our educational

(Standing For Freedom Center) A U.S. district court judge has refused to grant a temporary injunction to Maryland parents who sued Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), ruling that they do not have the right to opt their children out of lessons and books that violate their religious beliefs by teaching their children about romantic relationships, LGBTQ topics, and sexual themes,

(Bob Shillingstad) Who will control government sponsored education going forward?  There are school board trustee elections across the State of Idaho and the patriots running for office need to be educated about the teacher’s union and their agenda. “It is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understanding and interpreting the impact of the past

(Idaho Dispatch) Earlier today, unions representing higher education faculty at the University of Idaho, Boise State University, and Idaho State University filed a federal legal challenge in hopes of blocking enforcement of the “No Public Funds for Abortion Act,” which has been in full force and effect since May 2021. The faculty members are represented by ACLU attorneys. Their lawsuit

(Daily Signal) While 126 more suspects in child trafficking and child sexual exploitation are eating prison food today, many legacy media outlets are eating crow. Less than a month after liberal and left-wing media outlets slammed the child sex-trafficking docudrama “Sound of Freedom” for supposedly being a rallying point for “QAnon supporters,” conspiracy theorists, and “Dads with Brainworms,” the FBI

(Idaho Tribune) After banning a student from graduation for saying “guys are guys, girls are girls, there is no in between,” a bus driver named Dakota Mailloux joined in a student-led protest, and as a result was summarily fired by the pro-transgender administration at Kellogg School District. Now, that bus driver has filed a lawsuit against the School District in

(Washington Stand) If LGBTQ activists thought their threats — legal or illegal — would make Christian school board president Sonja Shaw back down, they guessed wrong. Shaw led the Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) in California to require that teachers inform parents within three days if their children begin to identify as transgender. Eerily specific death threats soon poured

(Daily Signal) Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Latter-day Saint, Protestant, Ethiopian Orthodox, atheist, and agnostic parents are taking a Maryland school board to court Wednesday, Aug. 9, for denying them the right to opt out of the school’s LGBTQ book curriculum. “These books are in fact teaching explicit sexual orientation and gender identity issues as early as pre-k,” Will Haun, senior counsel

(Washington Stand) The mismatched treatment President Biden and former President Trump continue to receive from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) highlights a department that has lost its sense of justice. That should come as no surprise because the DOJ has also lost its fear of God. Not only is God the source of justice, but the American legal tradition

(PJ Media) About 250 transgender activists showed up at the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame at Texas Woman’s University in Denton as Gov. Greg Abbott signed the “Save Women’s Sports Act,” which would limit transgender athletes from competing in most women’s college sports.

(Life News) Not long ago, I stood before the Vermont Senate and testified about my experience as a human trafficking survivor who became the first black female pregnancy center director in the state. I had been asked to testify against a bill targeting pro-life pregnancy help centers, falsely claiming that we “mislead” the public about our services. But my story puts the lie

(Daily Wire) The Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh tore into razor company Harry’s over the brand’s promotion of the transgender activist group the Trevor Project, a group that supports transgender treatments for minors.

(RedState) It was an exceptionally beautiful Saturday in Alabama as I headed toward the Madison-Huntsville County Public Library for Brave Books’ See You at the Library event. As RedState reported late Friday, Madison County Public Relations Director Jay Hixson issued a letter stating it was canceling the event because of security/capacity issues. According to Moms for Liberty Chapter Chair Emily

(Standing For Freedom Center) If you have kids in public school or have a library card, you’ve probably heard of the American Library Association (ALA).

(Life News) A federal judge blocked Idaho authorities Tuesday from prosecuting Planned Parenthood for helping women and girls travel out of state to kill their unborn babies in elective abortions.
