Thanks for writing this, Brad. This aggressive act by Garland is the final straw. There is now no doubt that the Left is on the hunt for those of us who support the First Amendment.

What else can we expect from a (large) group of people who label words in opposition to their desires as "violence" and "micro-aggressions''? But seriously, it is painfully obvious that the Progressives have laid claim to a right over America's children that they themselves have no right to. If my children were still of school age, they would be enjoying homeschooling right now.
I have a passion for books - I buy and sell books. I also read a lot and many of the books I sell are retired books form public school libraries. I discovered something about these books which sheds light on the subject of what's happening in our pubic schools - no mispelling....
the books written in the 50's nd 60's and now retired are of great value. I sell a lot of the and i believe not just to collectors. the subject matter of these books (biographies, history, fiction is far more balanced than what's in the school libraries today. The writing style and content of these books was far more demanding of the reader - the student. What is really evident is that things have changed in the schools - and not for the better.
The books written in the 80's and 90's aren't worth a fig. The subject of the same type of books had changed - there was a clear lack of balance, the books had gotten a twist to the left. The writing style was less demanding and demonstrated how much students' reading ability had declined.
This should be considered when looking at the current business of parents' anger at what's being taught today.
it also reveals that a lot of people were asleep at the wheel -parents, politicans, school boards and most of all teachers. to be ignorant of this left wing bias in the books used demonstrates
a lack of concern AND an evident bias on the part of the so called professionals called teachers.
parents should be aware that the ed schools are the cess pools of most universities. EXAMPLE -
SAT scores of ALL students is about 900. SAT scores of students majoring in education is about 850. Ed school majors are not the brightest bulbs in the deck....
Private Schools, home school, or simply vote those members off the board, it's your community you take control of it, stop depending on the government to give you a soup sandwich.
It gets worse. Soon they’ll be forcibly injecting every parent’s 5-11 year old with the flawed vaccines, killing or maiming thousands of children with no scientific basis, all to give teachers peace of mind, supported by a senile grifter president who still thinks “vaccinated” people “cannot spread Covid”.
I agree, and I predict these school boards will do away with allowing parents at school board meetings. They’ll make parents go through metal detectors. They’ll also forbid recordings, and will bring in a heavy police presence at every meeting, when parents are present. The parents that are most vocal will be targeted with IRS audits, just like Obama’s goons did to Tea Party Patriots.
Not even the worst Nazis and commies of the past would accept that men can have babies I therefore submit that today's left is far more evil than anything the world has ever seen and once they seize the opportunity for full political expression the left will exterminate by the billions. These aren't yesterday's Nazis and commies, this is something entirely new and the strategies employed to win the battles of the past no longer apply.
Same old leftist agitprop. They relentlessly accuse us of terrorism, eventually we decide we might as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb, and then, well, they hang us.
Good essay but OUTDATED. Levin revealed last the night extent of the collusion and report sent IG Horowitz demanding an investigation.
WHY DOES THE LEFT OPENLY ACT THIS WAY?
Because it knows the rest of us will write editorials, wring our hands, complain, gripe, vote (that's a joke now) and keep on working. We don't march en masse. Why not? We don't surround their homes. Why not? We do not march by the tens of thousands in DC. Why not? We don't carry bats, or bricks or push back with equal force? Why not?
Our hope that civil discourse reason, logic, and the law and judges will save our country. We are way past that now.
I know how this story ends. Freedom loses.
I know history, and this does not go in any other direction unless SOMEONE WITH A NATIONAL VOICE mobilizes the public, and pushes back. HARD AND FAST.
Unless someone does, America is doomed. You thinks Mitch and the boys in Congress, even if they take it back a year from now, will do a damn thing? Do you hear them now? [Crickets...] They are in on the grift and the scam.
This same kind of thing has been happening to doctors and other health care providers who go against the "established" covid care and say natural immunity is the way to go. Also, I read another blog that Garlands' son-in-law has a company that is distributing all this CRT crud.

Time to talk about breaking up the US

The letter to the DOJ comes from people who believe that “speech is violence”. Is it any surprise the school boards would react this way?

Brilliant. I've been outraged all week, and you perfectly explained why.

See you in the gulag, brother.
I always wondered why the DOE has 3 SWAT teams. Now we know, it is to be turned loose on the parents.
The threat to the NSBA is that schools might have to teach reading and writing and arithmetic.
The NSBA are fools.. it is ones who do NOT threaten they need to watch out for..
