California Measure SCA 5: “Forget Merit, Let’s Bring Back Quotas”
by naga5 on April 1, 2014**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By naga5** After trying to right a wrong by banning Affirmative Action via Prop 209 in 1996, California Libs are trying to wrong that correction by introducing SBA 5. It reintroduces race as a criteria for college admission. The Asian community is up in arms because they stand to lose admission spots in the UC system to less qualified applicants based on race not on academic merit. Racism does truly live on the left. Why Asians would continue to support and vote for liberal policies is beyond me. But I do have a funny Asian college joke. Do you know what UCI stands for? University of Chinese Immigrants. Too soon?

Teachers Follow All the Rules, And Student Gets Frostbite
by Alain41 on March 6, 2014**Bumped up from TamWire. Posted by Alain41** A fire alarm went off at a Minn. school, so all the students were evacuated. One 14 yr. old girl, who was in the pool, couldn’t get to her clothes in her locker so she went outside wet in her swimsuit. There is a school rule against letting students into teachers’ cars, so she shivered for 10 minutes in the cold though other students surrounded her and gave her a sweatshirt for her feet etc. She now has been diagnosed with frostbite in her feet. Zero tolerance school rules have so scared everyone that no one makes common sense decisions anymore. Via National Review Online: Minnesota School Freezes Live Student A St. Paul...

Public Podcast: Glenn Reynolds, aka Instapundit, On His Book, “The New School”
by Tammy on January 29, 2014I had a great conversation with Glenn Reynolds about his new book, “The New School: How the Information Age Will Save American Education from Itself.” Here’s the book description, and I hope you enjoy the podcast! Economist Herb Stein famously said that something that can’t go on forever, won’t. For decades now, America has been investing ever-growing fortunes into its K-12 education system in exchange for steadily worse results. Public schools haven’t changed much from the late 19th century industrial model and as a result young Americans are left increasingly unprepared for a competitive global economy. At the same time, Americans are spending more than they can afford on higher education, driven by the kind of cheap credit that fueled...

Presenting ==> Our Meddler-in-Chief
by Shifra on June 20, 2013When I heard about the speech Obama gave in Belfast, Ireland, this week, I wondered: Did the Nobel Peace Prize go to his head? How else to explain the sheer “chutzpah” of lecturing another country on their internal affairs? Well, one of my favorite newspapers had an editorial “head explosion” over the speech: via Investor’s Business Daily: In Northern Ireland, Obama Pushes A Stale Leftist Canard About Religion …. Sticking his nose in Northern Ireland’s internal affairs at the Group of Eight summit in Belfast, the president pretty much told the Irish to dismantle their Catholic and Protestant schools, on the grounds they’re hotbeds of hatred. “If towns remain divided — if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants...

Ted Cruz Eviscerates McCain On Pretty Much Everything, But Especially Process And The Debt Ceiling
by Tammy on May 24, 2013Here’s the video I discussed on last night’s Daily TAM Briefing podcast. This is why the establishment does not like Cruz, because he simply tells the truth and is not afraid to do so to people’s faces. This is also why we need to get more Tea Party in the Senate.

Must-See Video: “If I Wanted America To Fail…”
by Tammy on April 22, 2012**Promoted from the TAM Wire. Posted by TAM Dilvish** Great video from FreeMarketAmerica.org highlighting all the things someone would do if they wanted America to fail. Weird, it all also happens to be the things Obama and his regime are doing. It’s a great illustration of the damage Obama, and the liberal agenda in general, is doing to the country and exactly how dangerous it really is.

NYC Bans Halloween, Birthdays, Aliens and More on School Tests
by Tammy on March 28, 2012One more bite at the big apple of liberalism–the banning of words on school tests because they might “appear biased” or “evoke unpleasant emotions” in students. Plain and simple madness. And people wonder why cities under the boot of liberal “leadership” are in such trouble. Students in New York City’s public schools cramming for tests can delete words like birthdays, junk food, Halloween, dinosaur and even dancing from study lists. References to such words have been banned from city-issued tests in an edict issued by the city’s Department of Education for fear the words could “appear biased” or “evoke unpleasant emotions” in students. The department included the list of 50 banned topics in a recently issued request for proposals to...

The ‘Ethnic Studies’ Curriculum Disaster in Arizona
by Artgal on June 10, 2011The wildfires raging in Arizona aren’t the only catastrophe the state is facing. When Americans are drawn together to simply do the right thing, we accomplish the extraordinary for the good of the nation’s survival. Nothing could demonstrate this better than the hard work of many over the last four years to expose the disturbing curriculum and activities surrounding Ethnic Studies in the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD). For those unfamiliar with the subject, Ethnic Studies is offered as a course throughout many schools in the country. It encourages students to identify as a hyphenated-American (Mexican-American, African-American, Asian-American, etc.) instead of simply being an American. Though not all Ethnic Studies programs entertain anti-U.S. sentiment and overthrow, the potential for such activity to...

Urkel Blinks-Withdraws Call for Students to ‘Help’ Obama
by Tammy on September 3, 2009At the same time this really means nothing. The Obama Youth Worksheets for teachers have been sent and are widely available on the net. The call for teachers to weave the Obama narrative into their curriculum has been set. Obama’s 9/8 speech to students itself will likely be mundane; the real agenda here is not a one-day message from Dear Leader–it’s the opening of the door for the public school system to separate you from your children. Look, your kids likely have more time at school than they do with you. The effort to remove you as the moral tutors of your children has been an ongoing effort by left for decades. This is nothing new, the difference is we’ve...
