Joe Biden has fulfilled one of the first promises he made upon becoming president. His administration has just announced a comprehensive set of regulations—701 pages worth—that will gut due-process rights for college students accused of sexual misconduct.
A school near Manchester has banned its pupils from any physical contact with each other whatsoever, including hugging and play fighting.
Mossley Hollins High School brought in the ‘no contact’ rule stating that ‘no student should ever be touching another student’.
This includes a ban on ‘carrying of other students, cuddling, or play fighting’, including during their breaktime and lunch hour, saying this will ‘not be tolerated’.

The Michigan Attorney General has called on every school to have its own drag queen, stating that drag queens are “fun” and “make everything better.”
AG Dana Nessel made her comments during a civil rights conference in Lansing after falsely claiming that Critical Race Theory isn’t being taught in schools, despite multiple instances showing it to be true.
A chorus of furious parents rallied at a Virginia school last night in protest over proposed changes to rules that include punishing children for ‘maliciously misgendering’ their trans classmates if they accidentally refer to them by their old names.
The Fairfax County school board is still deliberating whether or not to implement the punishments for kids at Luther Jackson Middle School in Falls Church, Virginia.
It would make ‘deadnaming’ – the act of referring to a trans person with the name they used before they transitioned – a suspendible offense.
The board is also deliberating mixing boys and girls in sex education classes.
Parents say it is ‘too much too young’ and that some of the materials they are being shown are ‘pornographic’.
At a meeting in Virginia last week, the parents held up signs that read ‘concerned parents are ‘not terrorists’ and ‘we the parents have had enough’.
A rally is being held at Granada Hills Charter High School Tuesday to protest the banning of unvaccinated students from graduation events.
The protest includes members of GHC Parents United, Moms on the Ground, The Unity Project, Let Them Breathe, and other groups unhappy with the school’s policy.
Non-Jewish, non-legacy, non-athlete, non-donor white percentage? Is it as much as 5%? Minus open gays, transexuals, communists? 3%? At least they still admit many Asians on merit, but the top tier Asians go to MIT, as demonstrated by Putnam Competition results.
Another group has announced it will launch a legal challenge against Quebec’s controversial language reform law.
Bill 96 was passed in the provincial legislature earlier this week.
The English Montreal School Board (EMSB) announced late Thursday evening it has hired a legal firm to help it contest the validity of Bill 96, An Act Respecting French, the official and common language of Quebec.
This feels like something Indonesia would do, not a modern parliamentary democracy. Whoops sorry, I meant parliamentary dictatorship.
… I am overstating, but not by much. A significant number of American students are reading fluently and with understanding and are well on their way to becoming literate adults. But they are a minority. As of 2019, according to the National Association of Education Progress (NAEP), sometimes called the Nation’s Report Card, 35 percent of fourth-graders were reading at or above proficiency levels; that means, to spell it out, that a strong majority—65 percent, to be exact—were less than proficient. In fact, 34 percent were reading, if you can call it that, below a basic level, barely able to decipher material suitable for kids their age. Eighth-graders don’t do much better. Only 34 percent of them are proficient; 27 percent were below-basic readers. Worse, those eighth-grade numbers represent a decline from 2017 for 31 states.
The conference began with presentations promoting puberty blockers, hormone treatments, breast removals, and genital surgeries. In one session, “The Adolescent Pathway Preparing Young People for Gender-Affirming Care,” Dr. Scott Mosser, the principal at the Gender Confirmation Center in San Francisco, explained that he has performed “over two thousand top surgeries,” which involve removing girls’ breasts, and that there is no age limit for beginning the “gender journey.”
Education officials in the U.S. might have honestly believed that they could make a mountainous ruin out of American education—subjecting students to two years of ruinous remote education, masking policies, and unbridled hysteria— and not suffer any consequences for it.
Eighth grade students at Hendersonville Middle School in North Carolina were given an assignment which required them to take steps forward or backward in response to a series of statements about their personal “opportunities and disadvantages.”
“I’m going to fight this until the end,” Chanel Pfahl told the Epoch Times. “The more that they come at me in an unfair way, the more I feel it’s important for me to stand my ground.”
Ms. Pfahl is not being attacked for using the “N-word,” or another form of derogation leading to backlash against a Canadian public school teacher. Rather, Ms. Pfahl is being attacked for having the audacity to question the merits of Critical Race Theory.
On a private teacher’s Facebook group, Pfahl expressed her feelings on the subject. Stating her opposition to indoctrinating kids with critical race theory resulted in accusations of upholding white supremacy. Ms. Pfahl was suspended without pay for a week. Currently, she is under investigation by the Ontario School Board, with potential for her teaching licence to be revoked.
Regardless of outcome, the teacher has already been found guilty. Chanel Pfahl has committed a grave crime– standing in opposition to the ideological beliefs of government. The grade school teacher has been blacklisted. Her career– and possibly her life– will never be the same again.
Attorney General Merrick Garland incited national controversy last October after he issued a memorandum that dispatched FBI agents to investigate an alleged “disturbing spike” of “harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence” against school board members.
Garland was responding to an “urgent request” from the National School Boards Association, which claimed school board members were “under an immediate threat.” That threat? Parents who showed up at school board meetings and voiced frustration over school closures, mask mandates, and progressive curriculum.
An “inflammatory” children’s book being distributed to New York City schools teaches kids as young as 2 that the concept of race was created by white people who claimed they were “better, smarter, prettier, and that they deserve more than everybody else.”
