After I wrote stories about political indoctrination in K12 schools last year, tales of shocking incidents--& requests for help from parents who felt powerless and ignored--began pouring in. I began to see K12 schools as the most important, but least scrutinized, area in politics
This is a $1 trillion industry that affects our lives-and the future of our country-more than anything else government does. But no one pays attention to their local school boards. Special interests have utterly colonized them. They flout the law and harm kids. It's widespread.
We hear about cops killing people, but we rarely hear about teachers training kids by the 10s of millions to be crippled by fear and anxiety, directed to feel oppressed when they do not, and teaching them demonstrably false things, while disregarding reading, writing & arithmetic
Everyone knows you can't use taxpayer money to push politics. A la Hatch Act. Otherwise, whatever candidate won could stay in charge permanently by using taxpayer money as campaign funds. But teachers don't care, because they think you're not watching.
And everyone knows taking advantage of children (who are vulnerable, naive, and trained to accept what they're told by people in positions of power) is one of the worst things you can do. Even felons in prison shank the child abusers.
Teachers shutting down schools backfired: Parents are seeing what kids are actually being "taught." I want to see it, and I want you to see it too.

I made a website you can think of as "Woke-e-leaks" to share indoctrination attempts with other parents.

You can submit tips (videos, links to school policies, pictures of your kid's homework assignment) anonymously using a form specific to your school district, so that your neighbors can see it. It only takes seconds:

@ConceptualJames @MattFre29255087 I made WhatAreTheyLearning.com for this reason. Not only is there so much indoctrination in the 13,000 school districts that even a superhero like @ConceptualJames can't keep track of it all, but parents can't rely on outsiders to save them. Parents have to, er, "do the work."
@ConceptualJames @MattFre29255087 Professional activists have been running asymmetrical warfare on schools. They know how to work the obscure levers of power, and they have templates that they deploy. Regular people are confused and overwhelmed. This site builds community and shares info, but it's parent-powered.
@ConceptualJames @MattFre29255087 Schools count on the fact that most people don't know what's going on in classrooms, and if they find out, it's kind of ephemeral, lost in the flood. It needs to be documented in one place for perpetuity. The site can do that, and make it easier for parents to take the first step

Last year, social scientist @wil_da_beast630 published the ultimate Hate Crime Hoax book

His new book TABOO from @Regnery is even more important. With clear-eyed centrism, he shows that virtually all identity-politics grievance tropes are provably false.

@wil_da_beast630 @Regnery .@wil_da_beast630 casually comes in and just settles pretty much every identity politics culture war grievance of the decade, one and for all.

I'd genuinely like to see how an identity politics SJW would rebut the devastating arguments he makes in TABOO.
@wil_da_beast630 @Regnery The only way for this country to move forward on a stable centrist path is to reject identity politics grievance rhetoric

It is clear that such people do not operate from a position of reason, good faith, or data, and that they cannot be appeased

Don't negotiate with terrorists

An anti-Semite who allegedly set 7 fires at Jewish sites and wrote 'DIE JEW RATS' in a synagogue was released without bail in New York City Tuesday despite his arson hate crime charges.

James Polite, a queer black man, was the "adopted child" of city council speaker Christine Quinn, and did anti-hate crime work for the city after meeting Quinn at an Obama rally

He mocked white liberals, including his Jewish foster parents, as the 'Race Pimp Industrial complex'
Before the crimes, the New York Times profiled him as someone who "could defy the odds," and paid for him to go to college for African American studies.

After the arrest, the NYT blamed "addiction" for his anti-Semitism, citing that he had "struggled with marijuana in college."

Flint's National Association of Black Journalists chapter slammed the local paper after it revealed that 3 political candidates had rap sheets, including for weapons & beating a man with a Bible.

The 3 candidates were black, as were their opponents.

The Flint @NABJ claimed the articles about their criminal records - short pieces among broader campaign coverage - should have focused on their "achievements" because journalists have an ethical duty to "do no harm."
@NABJ It laments that the incidents were old, with one occurring six months ago.

Flint's water crisis was precipitated by the city electing an ex-con who had served prison time for financial fraud, and who then tanked the city's finances.
