Trump administration to probe NYC public schools over ‘Palestinian resistance’ seminars for kids young as five
By Jihad Watch In the Palestinian territories, children are routinely taught about the “resistance” as part of the curriculum. A 2020 UK Parliamentary report on a Westminster Hall debate described exactly what that “resistance” means: Palestinian children have grown up in an environment of institutionalised radicalisation. In schools named after suicide bombers, schoolchildren are taught from the […]
“Critically Thinking about Feelings”: An AI Assessment
By John Droz, Jr. Another Test for AlterAI… Like several of my commentaries, my last one was somewhat controversial. In it I discussed some of the evidence that the Democrat party is attempting to portray themselves as the “good guys” because they are empathetic to the downtrodden, minorities, etc. I decided to submit that column to AlterAI for […]

AI Assessments of: “Overview of America’s #1 Threat” — Part 3
By John Droz, Jr. I asked six (6) different AI’s as to what they thought… Since the evidence indicates that our K-12 education system is America’s most threatening problem, I decided to do yet another test of popular AIs to see what they had to say. As a test I submitted my last commentary (a K-12 overview) […]

Overview of America’s #1 Threat: Part 3
By John Droz, Jr. This is the last of a three-part series on the most significant threat to the American Experiment we are facing. Part 1 was a picture that I thought was worth 10,000 words.

Overview of America’s #1 Threat: Part 2

Overview of America’s #1 Threat: Part 1
By John Droz, Jr. A picture is worth a thousand words… I’m a BIG fan of Lincoln. One (of several reasons) is that he was an extraordinary wordsmith. His Lyceum Address is not that well known (e.g., compared to the Gettysburg Address), but it speaks to us today. More accurately, it is screaming at us. Its basic message is that despite America […]

When the Virtual World Becomes the Real World
By Family Research Council I spent more than 40 years watching how environments shape soldiers. Put a man in a foreign culture long enough, and his instincts begin to change — his sense of danger, his habits, even what he considers normal. What American parents are watching happen to their children follows the same pattern. […]

The Average College Student Today: A College Professor’s View
By John Droz, Jr. I’m reposting this fine article (by Hilarius Bookbinder at Scriptorium Philosophia). Some readers may be getting tired of my Paul Revere-ish warnings about the K-12 caused impending disaster to America, so carefully listen to a competent college professor, who is on the front lines.

Republicans Close University of Florida Chapter Over Alleged Antisemitism
