High-Quality 'Public' Schools Don't Want Low-Income Students https://reason.com/2022/03/24/high-quality-public-schools-dont-want-low-income-students/ Have there been statistics released since Indiana went to an open enrollment system of exactly how many students state-wide are now attending a government school that is not their geographically-assigned one? And are the government schools that accept transfers compiling reports of who these students are and from what government school districts they are coming from? Could provide interesting information.

Dang hermaphrodites. How many of them sit on the SCOTUS or want to swim at the collegiate level?

Possibly. After all according to her only a biologist can answer such a question correctly.

The Takeover of America's Legal System https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/the-takeover-of-americas-legal-system?s=r A somewhat long read, but worth it.

? Yes, and your point?

Heh heh, I see what you did there. 🙂 That said, there is a very good chance this veto gets overturned by the Indiana state legislature. It's just virtue signaling by Mr. Holcomb.

Maria Montessori's 'Libertarian View of Children' https://reason.com/2022/03/22/maria-montessoris-libertarian-view-of-children-2/?comments=true#comments A remarkable human being. Good that her ideas and ideals are still being followed today.

https://dailycitizen.focusonthefamily.com/federal-judge-suggests-not-hiring-yale-law-students-who-disrupted-free-speech-event/ That’s huge. And critically important to the legal profession and society at large. Silberman is the adult in the room, having served in public life since the Nixon administration. And here he is telling these immature law students that if they won’t act like lawyers, they won’t be treated as such in the job market. Clerkships are considered a steppingstone for young law school graduates who have aspirations of becoming judges themselves, and a clerkship with a high-profile judge like Silberman could lead to a clerkship with a Supreme Court justice, which would be a golden ticket to any future job. David Lat is a gay-identified lawyer who has written on happenings in the legal world for years. You’d expect that he would be supportive of the disruptive students because of his support for LGBT issues, right? Wrong. In his article, “Is Free Speech in American Law Schools a Lost Cause?” Lat explores the events at Yale (and an earlier situation at University California at Hastings), and makes this point: And this: As Waggoner herself told the Beacon, “Yale Law students are our future attorneys, judges, legislators, and corporate executives,” she said. “We must change course and restore a culture of free speech and civil discourse at Yale and other law schools, or the future of the legal profession in America is in dire straits.”

By "only people" you mean Mr. Hawley?

Disney Drives Conservatives Into Closet: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/walt-disney-conservative-employees-closet-dont-say-gay/ These disgruntled employees changed an entire industry that engineers the imaginations of children around the globe. And to be clear, “Don’t Say Gay” is a lie. The bill is called “The Parental Rights In Education Act,” and you can read its details here, in the primary document. The thing that has opponents so upset is that the bill forbids classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade. That’s it. That’s what liberals are so angry about. So devoted are they to the cause of making little children sexually aware and undermining their psychological stability around sex that they are throwing a massive tantrum over a law that says teachers can’t introduce this stuff to children under the age of ten. Within Disney, activist employees organized on company Slack channels a staged walkout this week to protest Disney brass, including CEO Bob Chapek, for supposedly not doing enough to fight the bill. The crybullies blame Disney leadership for making its LGBT employees feel, yes, “unsafe” by not fighting the bill. Here, from their website, are their demands — which, if enacted, would make Disney even more of a woke-capitalist, culture-war behemoth. Can you imagine what it’s like to work at Disney as a political, social, or religious conservative under the reign of this mob of tyrants? You don’t have to. Today a group of anonymous Disney employees have released the following “open letter” begging the company’s leadership to keep the company politically neutral. The letter points out that these slacktivists have created a hostile work environment for anyone who doesn’t go along with their demands. Here’s the open letter text (which a Disney employee leaked to me): Why does Disney force its conservative employees into the closet, where they have to live in fear, for the sake of appeasing this woke mob that wants to sexualize children? Has Disney forgotten who and what it is supposed to serve? And what about you, Mom and Dad? Do you really want to support a company that treats its religious and politically conservative employees like this — and that empowers a woke internal mob to compel it to interfere in politics to disempower parents’ control over the sexual education of their children, and to turn popular art into culture-war propaganda? I stand with the internally silenced and persecuted Disney employees, and with the Florida legislature that is not allowing woke capitalist bullies to tell parents to sit down and shut up and hand their children’s minds over to activist teachers. I hope you will too. Trying to stop activists and woke capitalists from queering little children through the schools is a fight worth having. Yes, it is.

Tears and Tension as the NCAA Awards a Women’s Championship to a Male Swimmer https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/tears-and-tension-as-the-ncaa-award-a-womens-championship-to-a-male-swimmer/ Outside, a female Virginia Tech swimmer spoke with a reporter about her teammate who was brought to tears after being bumped out of the finals by Thomas. Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered “five,” Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Yep. I have posted this quote numerous times and I'll post it again: "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Democracy is more effective the more choices there are, and the uni-party has basically created an election duopoly. It needs to stop.

Thank you for truly caring about the education of children. I take it you are not a card carrying member of the ISTA?

I wouldn't be surprised then if Mr. Mayfield holds out and doesn't report to training camp.
