The boys, coaches and families at Bedford Lawrence High School in Indiana, were told by the school board on 9/12/25, that they are no longer allowed to walk out with the Christian flag at games. The reasoning they said, is that it shows the school would be viewed as a government endorsement of religion. On September 14, 2025, Superintendent Kevin Yancey, sent a letter to parents and community members clarifying that while students have the right to express their personal faith (such as praying before a game or sharing beliefs with friends), the school itself-and events like football games-cannot display religious symbols like the Christian flag. As a team, this should be their choice to carry the flag! These young men have come together with a new coaching staff that have shown them a higher power is out there and they should not be stripped of that. We as Christians are under attack now more than ever! Do not back down! I hope the entire population there starts bringing Christian flags to games to support their team, and Faith. ❤

Moan all you like about Gen Z, but some of today’s youngsters put adults to shame. Take the pupils at Connaught School for Girls in Leytonstone, east London. Tired of their teachers going out on strike yet again, this time during exam season, children and parents have begun mounting their own counter-demonstrations. After years of disruption to their education, they are urging the grown-ups to ‘teach or quit’. A clip of Friday’s protest has been widely shared on social media. Angry pupils confront teachers who have chosen to spend the day on the picket line, rather than in the classroom. They are cross about being taught in groups of up to 60 by the headteacher in the school’s assembly hall, while their teachers – subject specialists and heads of department – parade outside. ✍️ Joanna Williams Article |

A sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives is talking to elementary school children about being trans while parents are at work trying to provide for their families. Parents are fed up with schools and politicians pushing adult social issues on little kids instead of focusing on reading, writing, math, and science. Parents should decide when and how these conversations happen — not politicians in classrooms.

The DOJ signed new interagency agreements focused on ‘Student Privacy’ Schools will be forced to allow parents to opt their kids out of curriculum pushing political agendas and the LGBTQ agenda - The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment requires parental consent or opt-out for surveys and evaluations on sensitive topics like sex, family relationships, religion, political beliefs, mental health and gives parents rights to inspect related materials - The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act gives parents the right to inspect and review their child’s education records, request corrections and control disclosure of personally identifiable information Schools receiving federal funds must generally provide access and notify parents of rights annually States like California and Kansas have major lawsuits for transitioning kids and hiding it from their parents, even when the parents request the info Many states are changing kids genders on forms and transitioning kids too We need both this legislation and these school staff should face criminal punishments in my opinion

Parents bust their asses, pay the tuition, support their kids through everything and this clown is out here trying to drive a wedge and tell young people not to trust their own family?? This is straight up toxic anti-family garbage. Higher ed really said parents are the enemy now?? Parents are not your enemies. This is disgusting.

“To this day, we don’t know where our parents are.” Two brothers from southern Ukraine—Denys and Marko saw Russian forces storm their home, put a bag over their mother’s head, and take her away. The next day, armed officers planted ammunition, forced their father to record a false “confession,” and disappeared him too. When the boys went to ask where their parents were, rifles were pointed at them. They were told to inform on “pro-Ukrainian” neighbors—or be sent to a Russian orphanage and, later, to the army. Our team at Save Ukraine reached them in time and brought them to safety. Their courage is extraordinary—but thousands of children on occupied territories face the same machinery of fear. This video is their story. Please watch and share it so these crimes cannot hide in silence—and so more children can be found and brought home. 👉 Support rescue and recovery for children like Denys and Marko: #SaveUkraine #ChildProtection #HumanRights

This year, I’d encourage you to consider a unique kind of holiday gift — a donation your friends and family can give to the charity of their choice. This kind of gift is far more meaningful, and it's simple. Anyone can do it. If you’re interested, check out organizations like TisBest Philanthropy and DonorsChoose . I think gifts like these are more in keeping with what the holiday season is really about, so I wanted to pass it along. #GivingTuesday #RedefineGifting

VIDEO: Pupils attend a lesson in a congested classroom at Oweko Primary School, where limited space is disrupting learning. More than 300 Primary Three pupils were found packed into a classroom designed to accommodate only 50 learners. The government school in Nebbi District currently has about 1,500 pupils. Due to a shortage of desks, many learners sit on the floor, while teachers struggle to move between them to check their work. On March 4, the school’s head teacher, Ms Roseline Mungu-Acel, told Daily Monitor that the situation is worrying. “The most affected classes are the infant classes of P1, P2, P3 and P4, which are highly populated,” she said. 🎥 Patrick Okaba

A 4-year-old girl in a wheelchair sits on the sidelines during a school program while the other children sing and participate. Parents attend excited to see their child included. Instead, she’s off to the side — watching, not part of the group. Feeling heartbroken, they decide to homeschool and later post a video of the moment on social media to explain why. Days later, the school district responds strongly — even sending police to their home and warning of possible legal action over the post. Every parent wants their child to feel included and valued. At the same time, public schools and families can clash over how situations are portrayed online. Inclusion, communication, and transparency matter — especially when disabilities are involved. When inclusion falls short, is homeschooling the better option — or should parents push harder for change within the public school system?

Meet David Simone. David is a current PhD student & Philosophy instructor at University of Hawaii at Manoa. Here’s what David Simone said verbatim. “Once these U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are hanging from a rope after their trial and they’re just sitting there choking, And..and dying and um their families are crying. You know what we get to do? We get to go up to their families and like literally drink their tears! We get to quench our thirst with their tears!” And he’s in charge of instructing the next generation. Lovely 🙄 I wonder if University of Hawaii at Manoa wants to comment, or if they stand by what their instructor here has posted on his social media.

Hundreds of people packed Connecticut State Capitol They are outraged Democrats are introductions legislation to force homeschool reporting to the Department of Children and Families “This is a controversial issue. Connecticut is one of the few states that really has no regulations when it comes to homeschooling and homeschooling.Parents want it to stay that way. “We provide what we feel that our children need. Homeschooling. Parents like Stephanie are passionate about their choice to keep their children out of public schools, and they're telling lawmakers who are considering changes hands off” “Legislation being considered would require school districts to tell the state Board of Education what students are being removed from school. That information would be shared with the Department of Children and Families, but there could be some privacy issues with sharing that information” Homeschool families would have to demonstrate (e.g., via annual portfolios or assessments) that their education is “equivalent” to public school standards in core subjects like reading, math, science, and social studies

#WATCH | BJP MLA Bhawna Bohra says, "We initiated 'gharwapasi' on the occasion of the 75th birthday of PM Narendra Modi. We started with 75 people, and the drive expanded further; today, about 500 families have gone through 'gharwapasi'. Religious conversion is a major issue. Innocent tribals are lured and enticed with some facilities, and, taking advantage of their innocence, they are being turned away from their religion. I am happy that people are aware and they are returning to their roots. About 140 people returned to their roots today. My team and I are working continuously towards it. This region was targeted the most, so this is a huge blow to those who misled people and turned them away from their religion..." On the anti-conversion bill, she says, "There is PM Narendra Modi's govt at the Centre. And CM Vishnu Deo Sai has been continuously fulfilling his announcements and promises in the state. Chhattisgarh Budget will be presented tomorrow and as far as the anti-conversion bill is concerned, we are confident that we will see a positive sign soon."

NEW: CNN’s Abby Phillip gets a brutal reality check as Scott Jennings lays out why Americans no longer trust “The Science.” This is about as satisfying as it gets. “If I were further advising RFK and Donald Trump on vaccines or anything else, I would say I’d like for science to go back to being science. Because during COVID and the last few years, science became religion.” “You know, when we’re putting people up on pedestals, making prayer candles with their image [Fauci's] on them, and sewing pillows with their face on them, that’s no longer science. That became a religion.”

Trump on President Xi: "During the meeting, he's here, and he's got about 6 people on each side. And every one of those people were at attention. And I made a comment to one of them and it got no response. And President Xi didn't let him. I said, I want my cabinet to behave like that. I've never seen men so scared in their lives."

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY YOU MIGHT not realize how fortunate we are as Americans to be able to celebrate love on Valentine’s Day. Before 1988, when I was a young woman living in China, it never even occurred to me that such celebrations should even exist. During the Cultural Revolution and many years beyond that, love was a forbidden subject. We were only allowed to show our “love” in public when it was our love for Chairman Mao, the Communist Party, and the motherland. Even expressing love to an immediate family member would be criticized. Couples caught holding hands together in public would be humiliated. My parents would call each other “male comrade” and “female comrade” instead of “husband and wife.” Gender and beauty were canceled. Girls were required to wear unisex clothing and have approved hairstyles. Feminine clothing and behaviors were not tolerated. Wearing makeup was not accepted. Youth were strictly forbidden to date during school years. The girls were encouraged to rat out suitors by turning over love letters they received from boys. The boys would then be lectured by the teachers, notes were sent home to their parents, with their violations recorded in their STUDENT FILE, a secret document kept on each student by the government. I was forced to apologize in school for being too “sentimental” because I kept a photo album. When I had a “puppy love” during my middle school and high school years I told myself to keep it quiet, as even my friends would turn me in. Romantic songs and art were banned. We were only allowed to sing red songs to show affection to Mao and the CCP. The artwork on posters and walls were about collective love and loyalty to our leaders, never to family or friends. Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao were the focus of our directed “love.” For example, the lyrics to one popular song we had to sing in school went like this: “My parents are dear, but Chairman Mao is dearer.” Spouses were urged to report on each other, children were brainwashed to turn on their parents. In my college freshman year, we were warned by the Communist Party Law School Secretary “don’t think about dating or marriage; focus on your studies to build China.” Of course, some of us rebelled against CCP rule, at least in secret. Things started to change publicly when a romantic novel was published. It caused a national firestorm; the novel, “Love shall not be forgotten,” was about romance: a woman and a man who put their own happiness first in a society that values sacrifice. Finally, the dating bans and dancing party bans were lifted. After I came to America, I read a book written by a defector and former personal doctor to Mao. He revealed that Mao engaged often in dancing parties and had as many young women as he wanted during the Cultural Revolution. At the same time, the powerless were being kept down by a party and told they should not live a “capitalist’s lifestyle.” My family and I were eyewitnesses to the true communism that exists in reality. You see, the reality for the perfectible socialist man — is a place where utopian promises never come. It is, instead, a place of hatred, division, envy, oppression, poverty and suffering. It is a place where there is destruction of love, families, individuals, human nature and humanity. Today, in America and outside of China, I am free to wear whatever I want; I can pursue beauty, express my feelings and opinions freely. And yet, ironically, I see too many young people in America idealizing socialism and communism. Just recently I was informed by a young Twitter commentator “You did not survive REAL communism. Real communist society has never existed.” This is a shocking lie and propaganda. The real communism I lived in is the same one that has exterminated nearly 100 million people this last century. I sometimes wonder if the victims of real communism are turning over in their graves because of what many young Americans now believe. Have these real victims of communism been forgotten so easily? Valentine’s Day is a time I will always treasure. I am happy to see people celebrate love. Love is a part of family life and individual freedom, expression, and desire that must not be suppressed or eradicated. So, I want to invite you to celebrate this Valentine’s Day with me, to celebrate one of our most profound, precious, and powerful human emotions — love. It is love that will keep alive the memories of those millions who died under communism. (My op-ed was published by UnionLeader.com in 2023)
