If you think you’re unqualified to teach your kids, you’re not.
Starting this week, New Jersey will no longer require teachers to pass basic reading, writing, or math tests to earn certification. That’s right—future educators don’t need to prove they’ve mastered the same skills they’re supposed to teach kids. This is the state’s latest solution to a teacher shortage, and they’re not alone. New York dropped […]
The Minimum Wage Lie
A recent study showed that nearly half of young people have a favorable view of socialism. That’s pretty shocking. But it actually starts to make sense when you look at the ways the public education system has been captured by the so-called progressives, and the fact that kids today have a hard time believing that […]
Hate to send your kids back to school? Then don’t.
I want to share a story I’ve heard over and over again. Every year, I meet parents who started the holiday season excited to spend time together as a family, only to realize as the break progressed just how much has been stolen from them by the public school system. By the end of Christmas […]
The $20 Million Lie That Made Us All Sick
If you’re like me (and a ton of others), you’ve probably come to realize that the food pyramid you grew up with is a little… off. You know, the one that told us to eat mostly bread and cereal, avoid butter like the plague, and switch to vegetable oils to keep our hearts healthy? Turns […]
In case you need one more reason to love Austria at Christmas
Have you heard about the customer service counter in the Vienna airport that exists solely to help passengers who find themselves accidentally in the Alps when they were, in fact, trying to fly to Australia? There’s even a meme that floats around every now and then: Of course, now there’s a fact check attached to […]
The Opera-Loving Sisters Who Outsmarted the Nazis
Have you ever wondered what makes someone a hero? It’s not wealth, power, or even a fancy title. It’s simply this: seeing a problem and taking action. Ida and Louise Cook understood that. In the 1930s, these two ordinary British sisters—one a secretary, the other a homemaker—led quiet, unassuming lives. But when they saw Jewish […]
What Makes You Stand Out?
Have you ever thought about the one belief you hold that sets you apart from the crowd? Maybe it’s your conviction that kids should learn to think critically instead of being told what to think. Or your belief that true generosity comes from the heart, not from government mandates. Maybe it’s the way you prioritize […]
The Border Wall Flash Sale is next-level pettiness
Sometimes I read the news and feel like I’m watching a schoolyard spat instead of the actions of the most powerful government in the world. Case in point: the Biden administration’s decision to sell off border wall materials for as little as $5 per section. How charitable of them. Except, of course, these materials were […]
Do you know the story behind this Christmas song?
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s life was anything but easy. In 1861, his wife, Fanny, died in a fire at their home. Henry tried desperately to save her, suffering burns on his own hands and face in the process, but she was lost. His burns were so severe that they prevented him from attending her funeral. She […]
