Calling Out Narrative Hijackers and Woke “Activists”
Happy Wednesday! Did you have a chance to catch the homeschool debate featuring Harvard’s resident anti-education-choicer, Elizabeth Bartholet, and Cato’s Kerry McDonald on Monday? Kerry did a fantastic job laying out a solid argument in favor of education choice. If you missed it (or if you just want to watch again because it was awesome) […]
Update on the Harvard Anti-Homeschool Vendetta
Happy Friday everyone! I wanted to shoot an email out before we head into the weekend to let you know about an awesome development in the ongoing Harvard anti-school choice drama. If you remember, Harvard law professor Elizabeth Bartholet sent incredulous waves through the homeschool and education-choice communities last month when she suggested that homeschool […]
Calling All Entrepreneurs… !
Happy Friday! Did you see the new employment numbers today? There’s some pretty encouraging data—although I share the sentiments of others when I say that we should never have had to wait so long and watch things get so bad before we saw this turn for the better. One commentator said it well: “I don’t […]
30 Million People Unemployed? No Problem! They Can Rebuild Minneapolis!
The idea that a city being burned and looted (like has been happening in Minneapolis) could be an economic blessing sounds ridiculous—right? And yet it’s precisely the thing that John Maynard Keynes and those of his ilk would say in regards to current events in the United States. In fact, politicians and bad economists have […]
We Should Reject a “New Normal” But We Can Still Choose to Leave Some Things Behind
Happy Wednesday! Summer is rapidly approaching, and with it comes at least a semi-return to normal for a lot of families. Some states are opening up, and some are still locked up tight, but the end of the school year—even this school year—still stands as a transition to something that at least resembles life the […]
Maybe it’s Time to Make Some Hard Choices About Education
Have you seen this?! Yesterday I came across a post on Facebook that listed out all the “precautions” that the CDC is recommending schools implement before reopening. I’m not going to lie… I assumed that it was exaggerated, or that someone had taken some liberties with it or maybe just had bad information to base […]
The Word You’re Looking For is “Government”
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the “new normal” that we are being conditioned to accept, and pointed out that each crisis brings with it new words, repeated again and again by those in government and media in an effort to frame the narrative around the entire experience. The words we use matter—they […]
Government and Many Americans Get an “F” in Economic Literacy
Greetings Earthlings! I know I am not the only one who finds reality sometimes bordering on being more unbelievable than science-fiction at this point. Every time I watch the news or poke around on social media I understand a little better why some people have simply chosen to bury their heads and adopt an “ignorance […]
Are All Laws Inherently Violent?
It’s the weekend! Wait… are weekends still a thing? So I’ve been watching with interest the situation in Texas involving jailed (and subsequently released) salon owner, Shelley Luther. I know most of the country has been watching. I’ve seen some people hail her as a hero, and others decry her as everything from an example […]
The Tuttle Twins Guide to Current Events
Happy Friday! The other day I got an email from a YouTuber named Karen Rodriguez whose page, “Our House,” had just put out a great video about how the messages in our books correlate to current events. I’d encourage you to go over and take a look at it when you get a moment—she did […]
