Will Fitzhugh on the elimination of history requirements in NC

Will Fitzhugh
The Concord Review
6 February 2010
North Carolina has proposed dropping the teaching of United States History before 1877
for its public high school students. Quite a number of U.S. History teachers have argued
for years that they should have two years for the subject, but North Carolina has just
dropped Year One.
One argument they advance [...]

Using children as political pawns

Posted on February 12, 2010 by Mary Grabar

Does anyone doubt that most teachers are dumb?  With apologies to my friends who are high school teachers, I have to say that as far as the majority goes, I have not met a more lemming-like group of people.  I spent a couple days with them at the National Council for the Social Studies and [...]

A rational assessment of Ayn Rand

Posted on February 10, 2010 by Mary Grabar

 Cathy Young presents one of the most reasonable assessments of Ayn Rand as her birthday passes.  Atlas Shrugs has some great passages, some great jabs at the left.  But parts of it are very disturbing, and Cathy points them out.  (Oh, and the sex scenes just parody themselves.)  It seems that many of Ayn Rand’s [...]

What do social studies teachers talk about? My latest report

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Mary Grabar

Here in my report on the National Council for the Social Studies convention I reveal how social studies teachers openly discuss strategies for indoctrinating children while earning continuing education and graduate credit…thanks to you, the taxpayers. Pictured here (at the 2008 Democratic National Convention) is Obama’s sister, “peace educator” Maya-Ng, who had to postpone her [...]

It pays to be gay

Posted on January 29, 2010 by Mary Grabar

It pays to be gay…on many American campuses, especially Syracuse University.  Well, one way to solve my health insurance woes (when you don’t march lockstep to the left agenda and have to work part-time and buy your own health insurance)…just get a “partner”!  Oh, wait, no special consideration for single, heterosexual, conservative females.  I forgot.
Public [...]

Tebow pro-life commercial? Give the feminists equal time.

Posted on January 28, 2010 by Mary Grabar

I have an idea for the feminists who can’t stand having a pro-life message from the Tebows during the Super Bowl: Buy some time for yourselves.  Produce a commercial with one of your own people.  She can be filmed with her six cats and provide testimony like, “Thirty years ago I made my choice to [...]

The Color Purple? The State of the Dis-Union

Posted on January 28, 2010 by Mary Grabar

Michelle wore purple which went along with Barack Obama’s lip service to “bipartisanship.”  Well, now that the Democrats lost “Ted Kennedy’s seat” and two governorships, they want “bipartisanship.”
They were singing a different tune a year ago, when Republicans practically begged to be included in negotiations for the stimulus bill, which was posted on the Internet [...]

I don’t think that this is what Martin Luther King, Jr., had in mind

Posted on January 19, 2010 by Mary Grabar

Cornel West is no scholar; he is a racial hate-monger. 
This is a travesty.

Obama Kiddie Propaganda

Posted on January 17, 2010 by Mary Grabar

Nearly 50 children’s  books published so far.  No, nothing about Chicago-style cronyism.  Nothing to compare the corruption to the original founders’ vision or Constitutional principles.  How many schools carry these books?

Morehouse English prof just doesn’t get it

Posted on November 12, 2009 by Mary Grabar

Morehouse English professor Stephane Dunn, writing in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today, implores Morehouse men to pull up their pants and dress appropriately when they attend her class.  I say ‘hurray’ to Morehouse for its new dress code and to Professor Dunn for speaking up.
Because she is a “sister,” Dunn is allowed to command her [...]
