Woke politics hijack my Gen Z classmates’ hero’s path

By Daniel Idfresne

Published January 01, 2022

Many today are concerned about the rising generation’s exposure to a cultural virus, that is being “woke”—and rightly so. But I’m one from that generation who has been inoculated against it. My Christian upbringing, my time in a public charter school, and my history teacher’s use of the Socratic method provided a foundation I needed to withstand it all.

Too many of my Gen Z peers aren’t on such solid ground, however.

‘WOKE’ NYC SCHOOL CURRICULUM PROMPTS DAD TO MOVE DAUGHTER TO FLORIDA

The nuclear family and American education are disintegrating—and traditional values are disappearing along with it. This leaves teenagers with no framework nor principles by which they can heroically live. It’s my generation’s void. In it, they fall victim to woke ideology and become bullies. Sadly, too many of my friends adopt fraudulent values to signal virtue, and in turn browbeat my classmates who don’t.

Consider the protests and riots summer of 2020. My peers denounced their “white privilege” on social media and shared provocative posts to prove it. But if white privilege is real, drive-by activism won’t fix anything. Social justice theater collapses under the burden of real oppression. 

When empty platitudes no longer sufficed, my woke classmates embraced more radical views. An open call for racial justice quickly became a disingenuous call to overthrow America’s Founding principles and institutions. Their ideas were not carefully thought out, but social media applauded them with coveted “likes.”  (Click to Continue Reading)

Mom gets standing ovation after calling for ‘mass exodus’ from public schools

By Sam Dorman

Florida mom Quisha King called for a “mass exodus” from the public school system, arguing that school systems left parents with no other choice for fighting left-wing ideas.

Her comments came during the annual Family Research Council’s Pray Vote Stand Summit during a Thursday panel on Fighting Indoctrination on a National Scale.”

“I really think at this point the only thing to do is have a mass exodus from the public school system – that’s it,” King said. In response, she received prolonged applause, and many in the audience stood to their feet at the Leesburg, Virginia, event.

King previously drew national attention for her speech opposing critical race theory (CRT) in June. She works with the group Moms for Liberty, which is one of many battling CRT and other ideas across the nation.

“With this FBI thing, it just made me realize – what else are we supposed to do?” King asked. “Standing up to these people doesn’t seem to matter. I mean, we have – all of us – we’ve been at these school board meetings, we’ve been voicing our opinions, we’re writing articles, we’re emailing teachers – we’re doing all that stuff. And they don’t care. I’m like the only thing left to do is to just peace out.”

She added that “it has to be us doing it together” in order to “really send the message that you do not have the right to indoctrinate our children.”

Her comments came amid an uproar over the Department of Justice’s announcement that the FBI would investigate potential violence at school board meetings. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s memo on the issue raised concerns as it appeared to be in response to a National School Boards Association (NSBA) letter suggesting that officials were encountering a form of “domestic terrorism.”

“While spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views,” Garland’s memo states.

Still, critics like Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., have raised concerns about DOJ restricting free speech – pointing to language in NSBA’s letter that disparaged anti-CRT efforts.

Mark Levin: How many Anne Franks are in Afghanistan tonight?

‘Can you hear the screams of the Afghans, America?’

The Afghan people left behind are fighting to survive much like Jewish victims in Nazi Germany, “Life, Liberty & Levin” host Mark Levin compared Wednesday on “Hannity.”

“How many Anne Franks are there tonight in Afghanistan?” he asked. “How many Anne Franks are hiding in cellars all across the country today? I want to talk about the people left behind, not the 124,000 who’ve been evacuated to safety. I want to talk about the millions who now have had genocide unleashed upon them.”

Levin pointed out that the Afghans were living “mostly in peace” and safety before Joe Biden’s presidency with a “minimal American military footprint.”

Levin hit out against who he called “propagandists” in the administration including press secretaries Jen Psaki of the White House, Adm. John Kirby of the Pentagon, state department spokesman Ned Price as well as generals who he blasted for leaving American citizens in Afghanistan.

“No commander in chief has ever ordered any general to leave citizens behind,” he roared. “What about these children and these women? What about the Afghan allies – the men who fought next to use firefight after firefight?”  (Click to continue reading)

Media lead charge to smear Rockies fan they falsely accused of using racial slur toward Marlins outfielder

By Charles Creitz

Several media figures and others in the baseball establishment are being slammed for hastily and ultimately falsely accusing a Colorado Rockies fan of repeatedly yelling a racial slur at a Miami Marlins player who is Black, with some later making an about-face on the matter.

When the Marlins’ Lewis Brinson, 27, was at the plate in the ninth inning on Sunday, microphones at Coors Field in Denver picked up the fan repeatedly yelling something many critics immediately declared to be the n-word, ostensibly directed at the opposing team’s batter.

A review of the situation found that the fan, who has not been identified, was in fact shouting “Dinger!” at the Rockies’ purple triceratops mascot. The man was reportedly trying to get Dinger’s attention so that it could take a photograph with his grandchildren.

But many on social media circulated video of the incident assuming that the man was yelling a racial epithet.  (Click to continue reading how an innocent man was wrongly attacked)

Disney Grandson Languishes in the “Unhappiest Place on Earth”

by Downey Brand LLP

While Disneyland may be the “Happiest Place on Earth,” a California probate court may be the opposite for a Disney heir, mused the U.S. Court of Appeals in Lund v. Cowan (9th Cir. 2021) ___ F.3d ___. Bradford Lund, a 50 year-old grandson of Walt Disney, sued the probate judge who rejected a settlement agreement that would have allowed him to access his approximately $200 million inheritance, and the federal appellate court affirmed the dismissal of the suit.

The real drama has played out in the probate department of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Litigation there has spanned 15 years with no FASTPASS or end in sight. Bradford’s story is unlike any Disney movie we have seen, but equally entertaining.  (Click to continue)

Teachers union sues Rhode Island mom over critical race theory public records requests, cites teacher privacy

By Sam Dorman | Fox News

The Rhode Island branch of a major teachers union is suing to block a school district from fulfilling a mother’s public records requests, citing the sheer volume of requests and concerns about teacher privacy.

The case revolves around a mom, Nicole Solas, who caught national attention for her quest to address critical race theory (CRT) in her child’s district. School board members previously considered suing Solas over her copious records requests – at least 200but declined prior to the recent lawsuit.

“We are asking the Court to conduct a balancing test to determine whether our members’ privacy rights outweigh the public interest,” said Jennifer Azevedo, who serves as deputy director of the National Education Association Rhode Island (NEARI). “We believe they do, and those records should either not be disclosed or should be redacted accordingly.”

In a filing dated Thursday, NEARI requested a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction from the state’s superior court. Both Solas and employees of the school district are named as defendants.

Solas fired back, telling Fox News, “You cannot be employed by the state and also demand immunity from public scrutiny. That’s not how open government works in America. Academic transparency is not a collective bargaining negotiation. It’s a parental right.”

NEARI’s verified complaint, which was filed Monday, states: “Given the circumstances of the requests, it is likely that any teachers who are identifiable and have engaged in discussions about things like critical race theory will then be the subject of teacher harassment by national conservative groups opposed to critical race theory.”

Cornell law professor William Jacobson also argued that “[t]his lawsuit makes little sense on its face. The unions purport to be protecting their members non-public documents and  information, but the public records law only applies to “public records as defined under the statute.”

The filing from Monday, however, seeks for the court to examine certain categories of documents which are “potentially public records” under the Access to Public Records Act.

It adds that if records aren’t determined to constitute a “clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy,” they should be disclosed with redactions of personally identifiable information or “information which may lead to the identity of such teachers.”

The lawsuit reflected an ongoing battle playing out across the country where frustrated parents are demanding answers from education officials.

Both the NEA and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have opposed efforts to limit CRT and its related ideas in school. NEA previously approved a resolution conveying its desire to fight “anti-CRT rhetoric.”

Another prompted Senate Republicans’ scrutiny by declaring that the NEA would “research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked.”
