Indoctrination Watch.

Yesterday, I printed a list of sponsor companies and foundations that fund GLSEN, the radical gay rights group founded by Obama safe schools czar Kevin Jennings. The full list is here. A reader wrote to GLSEN sponsor Eastman Kodak about the group’s not-safe-for-school reading list and other explicit, extra-curricular activities. This is the response Eastman [...]

From the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, news of a campus murder that appears to be more than your average street crime: Richard T. Antoun, a respected Binghamton University anthropology professor who grew up in Shrewsbury, spent his entire career seeking peace. His work focused on bridging the divide between religions and cultures, particularly in the [...]

Did you make sure to read the not-safe-for-school reading list of GLSEN, the radical gay rights advocacy group founded by Obama’s safe schools czar Kevin Jennings? If you missed it last week and you’re a parent, you better go read it now in my summary post from last week. You’ll also get a recap of [...]

Scroll for updates… Doing the investigative work the dinosaur, Obama-enabling media won’t do, Scott Baker and a collaborative research team have waded through the sexually explicit reading list endorsed by safe schools czar Kevin Jennings and the group he founded — GLSEN. Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit posts the team’s report. Make sure you have [...]

Last week, I showed you how the SEIU and other union thugs have routinely engaged in brass-knuckle tactics to intimidate volunteers who threaten their power. Here’s another example to add to the Big Labor Bully file — straight outta Chicago: We watched an interesting YouTube video the other day. It was brought to our attention [...]

Tuition hikes and custodian layoffs were the latest excuse for a UC Berkeley campus tantrum. The San Francisco Chronicle called the student takeover of Wheeler Hall an “occupation.” In the old days, dyed-in-the-wool libs would practice civil disobedience and accept their punishment. In the Age of No Consequences, Berkeley students demand that they be allowed [...]

Ugh. Here comes the traveling Obama education circus again. This time, in Baltimore: The odd couple of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and the Rev. Al Sharpton will bring their quest for education reform to Baltimore on Friday. Gingrich and Sharpton are on a three-city “listening and learning” tour to find out which school strategies [...]

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Compare and contrast: September 2008… Senator Obama’s life story, from his humble roots, to his rise to Harvard Law School, to his passion as a community organizer in Chicago, has been at the center of his presidential campaign. But one chapter of the tale remains a blank — his education at Columbia College, a place [...]

Big Nanny knows best. Parental permission be damned: “I was outraged,” Naomi Troy, 26, told the Daily News after her 6-year-old daughter, Nikiyah Torres-Pierre, had a possible allergic reaction to the shot. Officials at Public School 335 in Crown Heights called an ambulance to take Nikiyah to SUNY Downstate Medical Center when she fell ill [...]

The good news: Zachary, the 6-year-old cub scout who faced 45 days in a reform school for disruptive students because he brought his pocket fork-spoon-knife tool to lunch, won a “reprieve” from his local school board last night. The bad news: There is no reprieve from the zero tolerance stupidity and common sense deficit that [...]

The Zero Tolerance Tyrants claim another victim: Zachary is six years old and was a first grader at Downes Elementary School in Newark, Delaware. He is a smart, happy, outgoing child who plays Little League Baseball, is a Cub Scout, studies martial arts, is actively involved in his church youth group, and is actively involved [...]

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, Justice Louis Brandeis said. Which is why labor organizers and left-wing education officials using public tax dollars in government-funded colleges and universities are raging against the scrutiny from Mark Levin’s Landmark Legal Foundation. For years, Landmark has been filing public disclosure requests to shed light on how “labor centers” at [...]

“…sour, angry, even dangerous.”

Attorney General Eric Holder and Education Secretary Arne Duncan are in Chicago today for a pow-wow with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley over the city’s teen violence epidemic: U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric Holder and Education Secretary Arne Duncan will be in Chicago Wednesday to talk about what the Obama administration is doing to combat youth [...]

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

(Photo credit: Zombie) Two items on the continuing (un)safe school czar scandal: Zombie investigates Kevin Jennings’ inspiration, NAMBLA enthusiast Harry Hay and concludes: I have been unable to find information about any NAMBLA conference which Harry Hay didn’t attend. I don’t know what it takes to be considered “in NAMBLA” or a “NAMBLA member,” but [...]

Last March, I published a special report on the Left’s war against military recruiters in the U.S. It’s a topic I’ve covered extensively over the years. Unhinged devotes a sub-section of my chapter “They Don’t Support Our Troops” to the organized campaign of harassment against recruitment offices on college campuses nationwide. The anti-recruiter thugs have [...]

This is just a prelude to another left-wing attempt to criminalize conservatism: Nutroots decry scrutiny of safe school czar Kevin Jennings’s atrocious failures to protect a child from a sex predator as “anti-gay.” Next, they’ll accuse critics of creating a climate of hate and inciting violence — and endangering Jennings’ life. It’s what they do.

I mentioned Safe School czar Kevin Jennings in my column last week on Obama’s three Rs – rappin’, revolution, and radicalism last week. Dr. Warren Throckmorton has done yeomen’s work unearthing Jennings’ evolving tales regarding his failure as a young gay teacher to protect a 15-year old student from a homosexual child predator. In response [...]

Parents are rallying for educational choice right now in Washington, D.C. Read more about it here. The Obamas were too busy playing Games to attend.

Learn and Serve.

Playing games.

The community organizer-in-chief is now pushing schools to cut back on summer vacation. Local control, schmocal control: Students beware: The summer vacation you just enjoyed could be sharply curtailed if President Barack Obama gets his way. Obama says American kids spend too little time in school, putting them at a disadvantage with other students around [...]

Right on cue…

The three R’s in the Age of Obama: Rappin’, revolution & radicalism by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2009 When the White House announced plans for the president’s nationwide address to schoolchildren two weeks ago, worried parents were dismissed as “kooks.” We pointed to the subtext of “social justice” activism rampant in American classrooms. It’s [...]

“They understand that there is a little bit of Barack Obama in all of us.”

“I am Barack Obama.”

From my friends at Smart Girl Politics, you’ll love the propaganda quiz that one student brought home from class after watching President Obama’s joint address to Congress on health care. Here’s an excerpt: Check out SGP for the rest of the story. *** Earlier today: The Obama school rap and other Lessons for Revolutionary Change
