Schools Using Millions in Tax Money to Teach “White Privilege” and Black Stereotypes

May 8, 2015

By Selwyn Duke It was no surprise that Cedric the Entertainer, a black comedian, could get away with doing a comedy skit about “Colored People’s Time,” playing on the stereotype of tardiness in the black community. But in an example of life imitating art, a group helping to shape teaching in American schools is now…
Media Group That Showed 13-year-old Boys Kissing Now Considering Sitcom Involving Anti-Christian Bigot

April 27, 2015

By Selwyn Duke He has been called “one of the cruelest, most vile political activists in America.” And now he may have his own television show. It was a first when ABC Family aired an episode of The Fosters in which it showed two 13-year-old boys kissing. Now Disney-ABC Television Group is considering another first:…
Will Supreme Court Squelch Free Speech Because “Mob” Might be Offended?

March 24, 2015

By Selwyn Duke The five American students were not allowed to display their American-flag T-shirts because Mexican students might be offended and become violent. This certainly might be expected in Chihuahua, or Veracruz, or Tijuana. But it happened in Morgan Hill — California — in the USA. The American schoolboys were given a choice: turn…
American Narcissist: Raising With Praising Makes Jack a Proud Boy

March 12, 2015

By Selwyn Duke If Barack Obama is the narcissist some claim he is, he just may be, to paraphrase French philosopher Joseph de Maistre, the president we deserve. Because according to a new university study, Westerners are raising generations of narcissists — and it’s the result of modern parents’ habit of lavishing continual, often underserved…
Atheist Dawkins: Gov’t Must Protect Children From Religious Parents

March 7, 2015

By Selwyn Duke Freedom of religion is a right treasured by many Westerners. But then there are those people who want freedom from religion — and atheism point-man Richard Dawkins is among them. In fact, not content just purging faith from public institutions, the biologist turned irreligious bad boy is now taking aim at families.…
Orwell in the Classroom: University Spends Money to Stifle Speech

February 13, 2015

By Selwyn Duke The program may seem “crazy” to many, but don’t you dare call it that. Because this is just one of many words and phrases that Orwellian social engineers at the University of Michigan deem are, well, not at all doubleplusgood. It’s part of a sensitivity-oriented “Inclusive Language Campaign” (ILC) at the public…
China in the Classroom: How the Reds Are Reaching American Students’ Minds

February 12, 2015

By Selwyn Duke The university was prohibited by an arm of the Chinese Ministry of Education from hiring a professor who would discuss Tibet. So, instead, a classical Chinese poetry chairman who wouldn’t dare broach the topic was retained. Of course, this type of state control of teaching isn’t unusual in superficially Marxist and un-officially…
Little Boy Suspended for Pretending to Have Lord of the Rings Magical Powers

February 5, 2015

By Selwyn Duke Nine-year-old Aiden Steward told a schoolmate he could make him disappear with his magic ring. It was an idea the wee lad got after watching The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies the weekend before last. But the only one who disappeared was Aiden. His unauthorized exercise of imagination inspired school…
California Common Core: Kids Graded on “Gratitude,” “Sensitivity to Others”

February 2, 2015

By Selwyn Duke The United States may be producing only one-tenth as many scientists as does China, but if California is any guide, Americans may soon excel in at least one area: “sensitivity.” That is, as defined by modern educational overlords. It’s all part of the new standards of Common Core, the controversial education program…
Crazy on Campus: U.S. Colleges — Where Truth Is Always Stranger Than Fiction

January 28, 2015

By Selwyn Duke “There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them,” noted 1984 author George Orwell. Yet even he might be surprised at what passes for scholarship at today’s American colleges. And many parents certainly would be shocked to learn what their $35,000 to $120,000 — the current average public/private…
