Obama Gives Planned Parenthood $5M Grant Targeting Kids as Young as 5
by Tammy on May 17, 2016Of course he does. The bureaucracy will always award Planned Parenthood for funneling money to them through their PAC. It’s bureaucracy as Candyman, redistributing our tax dollars to their friends. And in this case, they get to help fund the indoctrination of your kids. One thing that we must influence Donald Trump on is his belief that PP deserves federal funding. The arguments against this are so persuasive, we must make a point of turning him on that issue. Via LifeNews. HT Weasel Zippers. The Obama Administration has put forth more than $5 million towards Planned Parenthood providing sex education to the children, some as young as 5, but pro-lifers and concerned parents are working to keep the abortion giant...

Chicago Teachers to Walk Out Again on 400,000 Schoolchildren
by Tammy on March 29, 2016At some point shouldn’t we consider everyone in Chicago a hostage? Via Daily Signal. Chicago teachers voted to approve a one-day strike this Friday in protest of “unfair” labor practices, an action that affects about 400,000 public school students as schools plan to shut down for the day. Administrators call the move illegal. “As you may have heard, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) has declared a ‘Day of Action’ on April 1, 2016,” Forrest Claypool, CEO of the Chicago school system, and Janice K. Jackson, the district’s chief education officer, wrote in a letter to the families of students. They added: While there are still unanswered questions about what this day will look like, we know that CTU leadership has...

New University of Kentucky Course: Taco Literacy
by Shifra on February 3, 2016There really should be more diversity in their course offerings: How about a course on The History of Matzoh Ball Soup? Via National Review: The University of Kentucky is offering a course titled “Taco Literacy: Public Advocacy and Mexican Food in the U.S. South ” where students will examine the social and racial issues surrounding tacos. Or, as the course’s website puts it, “how food literacies situate different spaces, identities, and forms of knowledge.” “This class allows our students to explore the issues of immigration, inequality, workers, intercultural communication, and literacy through the prism of food,” the course’s professor, Steven Alvarez, told Vice. This existence of such a course isn’t surprising; tacos are a very controversial subject these days —...

New Campus Social Justice Cause: Fat Liberation
by Shifra on January 21, 2016Fat Studies courses are now being offered on college campuses, and appear to be a huge (oops) hit with millennial Social Justice Warriors. And the new enemy? Diet books! Please, no one tell FLOTUS: The Queen will not be pleased. Via Daily Caller: Described as an “emerging academic field” that focuses on combating “weightism,” “fat stigma,” and the “weight based oppression” of fat people, “fat studies” courses are popping up on college campuses across the country. Typically found in women and gender studies departments, fat studies courses don’t study obesity as a leading cause of death in America but rather approach fatness as a “social justice” issue, and usually focus on “fat liberation” movements and activism as ways to combat...

Moonbat Social Justice Alert: Harvard Students Get Lib Talking Points Placemats
by Shifra on December 17, 2015Ohh, a Social Justice Placemat, with Liberal talking points, to win any argument with their Wascally Wepublican relatives! The total cost, per year, for tuition, room and board at Harvard: $60,659 Really, the placemats should have also included this statement: I spent a fortune at Harvard and all I got was this lousy placemat.

Elite NYC Private School Teaches Swastika Is Symbol of ‘Peace’
by Shifra on December 1, 2015The Ethical Culture Fieldston School is an elite private school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. What? You thought all of the Bronx looked like the movie ‘Ft. Apache, the Bronx’ ? Riverdale is a tony section of the Bronx, and no self-respecting person living there will ever respond “the Bronx” when asked where they live. It’s always: Riverdale Tuition at the Fieldston School is $45,000 a year. And looks like these parents are really getting their money’s worth for their little darlings. Not. Via NY Post: …As The Post reported, swastikas have been popping up all over campus this fall and a notebook was found with the words “Hitler Rocks” on the front. At least one student at...

Pro-NYC Charter Schools Group Airs New TV Ad, ‘Progressives’ Scream Racism
by Shifra on September 30, 2015The hypocrisy and cravenness of the so-called ‘Progressives’ is on full display in their rage against the NYC charter schools. These schools serves primarily poor, mostly black and Hispanic students, they are publicly funded but privately operated, and they consistently outscore public schools. As reported in the NYT, last year, 29 percent of public school students passed the state reading tests, and 35 percent passed the math tests. At Success schools, the city’s largest network of charter schools, the corresponding percentages were 64 and 94 percent. But Mayor Bill de Blasio owes everything to the UFT – Teachers’ Union, who supported his mayoral bid, and vehemently oppose the charter schools. As Michael Goodwin of the NY Post noted: “Year after...

Hillary Remembers Dear Ol’ Mom, But Wants All 3-Year-Olds In Preschool
by Shifra on June 17, 2015Earlier this week, Hillary reminisced about her mother while speaking to a crowd in N.H. She recalled Mom’s “grilled cheese and tomato soup sandwiches” (not sure what a grilled cheese tomato soup sandwich is, but…whatever) and how she always basked in the love and caring of her Mom. So, why does she want to dump all the little kiddies into preschool? Can’t they also get their grilled cheese tomato soup sammies? Via CNS News: “Only 55 percent of all of America’s 3- and 4-year-olds are enrolled in preschool,” Hillary Clinton said on Monday, after telling a crowd in New Hampshire how much she valued her own childhood at home with her mother. “I just knew she was my mom,” Clinton...

Will First Muslim College Accredited In USA Become ‘Jihadi U.’ ?
by Shifra on March 17, 2015More insanity from the “diversity-loving” Left: A Muslim college, founded by three pro-jihadi Muslims, has been accredited by California, and is now eligible for federal grants, and can accept foreign Muslim students on visas. Really, what could go wrong? Via Investor’s Business Daily: California Accredits Nation’s First Muslim College .. . Founded By Jihadists The same California college board that accredited Stanford and Berkeley has certified the nation’s first Muslim college in what the left is cheering as a breakthrough for diversity. In fact, it’s a breakthrough for jihadism. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges last week officially — and naively — recognized Zaytuna College, making the Islamist school eligible to receive federal grants and accept foreign Muslim students...

Supreme Court Says States May End Affirmative Action
by Tammy on April 22, 2014The title of this post is reflective of the tone of the headlines you’ll see all day. The truth of the matter is the Supreme Court ended race-based admission policies, and in doing so, the court says, will not be violating the US Constitution. Genuine Affirmation Action has never been about using a person’s race to determine whether they will be admitted to a school or a job; it’s about outreach making sure minority groups know they can apply for a position, and making an effort to have those individuals enter the competition for a job or an admission. Essentially, it’s about equal opportunity, not guaranteed outcomes. Bottom line, this is an excellent decision. Here are the details. Via the...
