“[State controlled] education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” – Joseph Stalin

"[I]f you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever.  But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with."

--Ronald Reagan

“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924)

 

"A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate."

-- Thomas Jefferson

A Few Thoughts       By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

1.  New Energy Policy - President Bush’s new energy plan involves shifting away from gasoline-powered cars to those powered by hydrogen fuel, because it is clean and does not require the use of oil.  That’s fine as far as it goes, but has anyone considered the fact that hydrogen fuel doesn’t come out of the ground like oil?  It has to be generated by using some other form of energy, such as oil.  Has anyone said what that energy source will be?  Will it be coal, or nuclear, or some magic, yet-to-be-discovered energy source?  Or are the politicians so interested in pacifying the public, and is the public so poorly educated in science, that the politicians just need to talk as if they are doing something about the energy problem without having to explain where the energy will really come from?       (click to read more)

Whatever Happened to Limited Government?        By Justin Darr 

For some reason, Republicans are scratching their heads and wondering why their poll numbers are crashing, their public support waning, and the fact they might lose seats in Congress during the mid-term elections       (click to read more)

I still want to teach         By John Stossel

Last month, 500 angry schoolteachers assembled outside my office. The United Federation of Teachers (UFT) was furious that “Stupid in America,” a “20/20” show I did on education, suggested that some union teachers were lazy. They shouted that I didn’t understand how difficult teaching was, and chanted, “Shame on you!”       (click to read more)

The ACLU Reds         By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter

Tired of the ACLU telling us that we cannot have any mention of God anywhere in society, we cannot pray in public, we shouldn’t have crosses in government owned cemeteries, and “In God We Trust” must be removed from our money? These and many other anti-American and anti-God positions are those of an organization that sneakily names itself the American Civil Liberties Union. We, who are in the know about the true mission of this group of leftists, are more inclined to say those letters stand for the American Communist Lovers Union or the Anti-Christ Liberals Union.       (click to read more)

Is there anything good about public schools?  (from the Alliance for the Separation of School and State)

Yes.  There are many good, caring teachers, administrators and personnel, as well as thousands of parent and community volunteers.

Planning for failure:  Is the road to 2014 leading toward proficiency for all Kentucky students?       By Richard G. Innes

Executive Summary

Since the early years of the Kentucky Education Reform Act of 1990 (KERA), education leaders have steadfastly proclaimed all of its students would attain academic proficiency by year end 2014. Are they on course to meet this No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) standard? Or, will Kentucky’s parents and students be forced to settle for less?        (click to read more)

MSG Clinton Culbert Laid to Rest       Jeff “Mario” Smith

Yesterday, approximately 25 Patriots and Veterans attended the funeral of MSG Clinton Culbert in Lawrenceburg, KY under the banner of Patriot Guard Riders as invited guests of the family.  Part of our group, sadly, had to also be in Glasgow, KY for another funeral there. In Glasgow, SPC James W. Gardner was laid to rest. Saturday, in Northern, KY, we have a Marine to lay to rest, one LCPL Justin Sims. It is has been a busy time in Kentucky paying respects to the families of the fallen. This is not a good thing. It never gets easy.       (click to read more)

"[A]rmed with the truth, and a God-given mandate to train our own children, we must never depend on government to take care of our kids or raise them. Parents must wake up to the fact that our nation's boys are being used and manipulated by an industry making billions of dollars by warping their minds... [I]t doesn't take an act of Congress to take back your home---it takes active, loving, informed parenting. It takes setting boundaries and sticking with them. It takes understanding our kids, and understanding that our kids need us to guide them." ---Rebecca Hagelin
