A Seattle high school teacher has been placed on leave after footage emerged of him agreeing that the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel was justified. Ian Golash, the social studies department chair at Chief Sealth International High School, was placed on leave last week according to the district. The move to have him suspended came after conservative advocacy group 'Accuracy in Media' exposed his social media posts outside of the school.

Yikes. It's been just over a year since Audrey Hale killed six at Covenant School in Nashville, TN. Authorities still haven't released Hale's manifesto (something the police said they were 'considering' for release a year ago), but the Left insists Hale was 'right-wing' and not one of their own. Now news is breaking from Montgomery County, Maryland, where another 'trans' individual wrote a 129-page manifesto with plans to get 'famous' by committing a school shooting.

Teachers at a school have reacted with horror to a video of their middle-aged female colleague being repeatedly punched in the face and abused by a male student. The teenager has been arrested after a classmate filmed the profanity-laden physical attack at Parkland High School in North Salem, North Carolina. The teacher sits motionless in the classroom as the student lands a right-handed punch to her cheek before he steps back and demands: 'Want me to hit you again?'

Time to Change Our Language.. It is time to stop blaming “Covid” for breaking the economy, destroying businesses and livelihoods, and wreaking untold havoc upon families. It was not “Covid” that did this. It was not even the Chinese. It was our government. The government has conditioned us to blame the impersonal “Covid” for the destruction it wrought upon our businesses and families. We need to change the discussion by using the proper language to fix the blame where it belongs. Good generals can win a battle by picking the terrain upon which they fight. At Waterloo, Wellington forced Napoleon...

Gabriel Metcalf of Billings, Montana, has accepted a plea deal in the Gun Free School Zone (GFSZ) case, which has been extensively covered by AmmoLand. The plea deal appears to be for probation only, with forfeiture of the single-shot Rossi shotgun and six rounds of ammunition. There is no mention of a fine in the plea agreement.

The motion to dismiss made two arguments. First, the...

PONTIAC, Mich. — A jury on Thursday convicted James Crumbley of involuntary manslaughter in connection with his teenage son’s deadly school shooting in 2021, in step with his wife, who was found guilty last month on the same charge. The jury's decision after about 10 hours of deliberations caps a landmark case that for the first time in the U.S. held the parents of a mass school shooter criminally responsible. James and Jennifer Crumbley’s son, Ethan, who was 15 when he opened fire at Oxford High School in suburban Detroit, pleaded guilty as an adult and was sentenced in December...

Three children and two adults were killed when a school bus collided with a semi-truck on Monday in Illinois.

A youtuber shows a day in life of a Japanese Elementary School with only 8 students and 11 teachers. The school has about 20 rooms and had over 400 students in previous generations but is now virtually empty. There are about 11 million akiya, or abandoned homes, in rural Japan. Here we see a nearly abandoned school. The video shows happy students and teachers but you can also feel the sad decline. The school built for more capacity. The number of teachers should have been 20-30 and the number of students was and should be hundreds. All of the nearby...

A high school in southeastern Indiana came under fire on Thursday after forcing a student to remove an American flag from his vehicle. The student’s mother relayed the events in a social media post. Cameron Blasek, a senior at East Central High School in St. Leon, was called into the principal’s office on Thursday and was told to remove the flag or be written up for insubordination. The post says that after being told to take the flag off his truck, he pulled out the school’s handbook and “pointed out that nowhere in the handbook does it mention the word...

There’s a highly organized, concerted effort underway here in NH to get outrageous amounts funded for NH schools and education agendas. I smell a racket in the making. This organization seems suspect and needs more looking into – which leftist/globalist entities are supporting and pushing this: The New Hampshire School Funding Fairness Project.

In the ongoing Gun Free School Zone Act (GFSZ) case in Billings, Montana, the trial date is currently set for March 25, 2024. The process is a long and difficult one for Gabriel Metcalf and his mother, Vivian. Because this is a criminal, not a civil, case. Gabriel’s freedom is at risk. The current judge, Federal District Judge Susan P. Watters, has ruled the GFSZ to be constitutional, and the Montana Establishment of Individual Licensure law is insufficient to be an exception to the GFSZ. Going through the process of a challenge to the constitutionality of a criminal charge is...

MONROE, N.C. — For the second consecutive Sunday, community members from all around Union County voiced their concerns about Bible Baptist Tabernacle following controversial comments made by the pastor. Several signs, community members, and voices were outside the church preaching their frustration toward the church and Pastor Bobby Leonard. “I'm appalled and indignant,” Rebecca Frick said. Leonard said during a sermon that women make themselves targets for sexual assault based on how they dress. He said he wouldn't vote to convict a man who's accused of raping a woman if she wore shorts. “We don't like [what he said]," Sanders...

Kahllid Al-Alim, an antisemite running for the Los Angeles Unified School Board (LAUSD) in the first district, leads by two votes in the initial count of Super Tuesday ballots, and appears headed to a runoff in November. As Breitbart News noted last month: [Al-Alim] spread antisemitic hatred online and liked violent, pornographic posts. Al-Alim said that a book by the racist, antisemitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, titled The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, which falsely claims Jews control the economy and exploit black people, should be “MANDATORY” reading. Al-Alim apologized for his posts.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—A Christian who faced persecution for her faith in Communist Romania in the 1980s and barely survived an assassination attempt orchestrated by dictator Nicolae Ceausescu warns that the undermining of parental rights in the U.S. today echoes Ceausescu’s totalitarian government. “It’s the same system that the socialists use in order for parents to be put in jail that the students, kids, will be taught in school to report their [parents] to school,” Virginia Prodan, a human rights lawyer who grew up in Communist Romania but came to the U.S. after President Ronald Reagan secured her release... She raised the...

Oklahoma schools have been in the news quite a bit recently and for all the wrong reasons. A few weeks ago, a drag queen principal at an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL was forced to resign, as the media tried to cover up his past which included child pornography charges. Then activists on the left tried to blame Oklahoma State School Superintendant Ryan Walters and Libs of TikTok's Chaya Raichik for the death of 'Nex' Benedict, even though the autopsy showed that she did not die from trauma due to a school fight. In fact, it turns out, it was Benedict herself who...

Brandeis Center .. along with the U.S. Department of Education filed the complaint against the Berkely Unified School District ...

A federal court dismissed a case Tuesday against Republican Iowa Gov. Kimberly Reynolds’ prohibition of mask mandate in school districts across the state, official documents showed. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit found “persuasive” the argument that “the general risks associated with COVID-19, even though COVID-19 remains an ever-present concern in society, are not enough to show ‘imminent and substantial’ harm,” court papers showed in part. The court also decided that “because Plaintiffs have only alleged the potential risk of severe illness should they contract COVID-19 at school, the risk of harm is too speculative to satisfy...

The publisher describes the booklet as ‘a pocket-sized flip book that graphically models condom use between two men.’ But they are not ‘two men.’ They are a man and a teen. As such, the graphic booklet overtly suggests male homosexual pederasty. (LifeSiteNews) — Materials given to students to take home by a high school in Canada as part of a sex-ed program look less like they’re intended for educational purposes and more like a brazen attempt to groom vulnerable teen boys for sex with older males. Student mom Janine Stephanie Penner reported on Facebook that “My grade 10 son was...
