  • The School Where Minorities Weren’t Punished for Fear of “Racism” Charges

    By Selwyn Duke Recently I wrote about the Tucson Unified School District, where the powers-that-be decided that punishment should be meted out based on racial quotas. And during the last couple of days I posted videos of British citizens being punished for expressing politically incorrect ideas (one couple ran afoul of the "law," to use…

  • Six-year-old Suspended for Bringing Camping Utensils to School Wins Reprieve

    Some will say that teachers have been denied the right to exercise discretion because they often lack a sense of it. This is true, but it is also parents today who often lack discretion. We’re in the grip of a systemic problem, where not only are teachers more likely than their predecessors to make bad…

  • Six-year-old Suspended for Bringing Cub Scout Tool to School

    By Selwyn Duke Our authorities may not be able to track down Osama bin laden, but never fear, they’re keeping us safe from budding little terrorists such as first grader Zachary Christie. Caught red-handed, the Newark, Delaware, six-year-old was suspended from his school and may face 45 days in reform school for violating the Christina…

Some obviously would, as this is exactly what’s happening in Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) in Arizona. The district has decided that instead of choosing teachers based on the outdated concept of merit, it will hire teaching staff…

  • Nickelodeon Wants School Kids in Changing the System

    Children’s network Nickelodeon is well-known as a purveyor of propaganda, and now it’s participating in a new program that encourages kids to “change the system.” By Selwyn Duke It used to be that the stuff of children’s programming was Wile E. Coyote’s perennial hunt for the Roadrunner and Bugs Bunny playing it cavalier with the…

  • Back to School with Obama: Educational Talking Points 101

    By Selwyn Duke At high noon today, EDT, Barack Obama issued a challenge to America’s schoolchildren. In his much anticipated back-to-school speech, he appealed to students to stay in school, work hard, set goals, and not use personal crosses as an excuse to fail. It was, by and large, a message so positive that critics…

  • Obama’s Speech to the Children of America

    By Selwyn Duke Whether or not President Barack Obama’s September 8 back-to-school speech will be “historic” as his Department of Education (DOE) states, it certainly is headline grabbing. His talk is currently the talk of the nation, but thus far the only historic aspect of it is the opposition it has inspired. People are divided…

  • University Perversity: America Taking the Stupid Pill

    The only thing worse than what college students are not learning is what they are learning. By Selwyn Duke It is said that our educators are preparing the young for the future, and this may very well be true. That is, if the movie Idiocracy — which portrays a dystopian future America in which sheer…
