Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Like many people I am guilty of helping cause education inflation. I have looked to see what education a person had in spite of the fact that I was seeking an employee with technical skills. We as an American society have pushed for everyone to not only complete high school but also to get a …
History Wars in Virginia; The Virginia School Board corrected their awful first draft of the Standards of Learning for History and Social Studies. The Democrats controlling the Virginia Senate rejected the Republican Governor’s appointments to the Virginia Board of Education for cleaning up the CRT and other errors in the first draft.

Virginia’s periodic review of K-12 History and Social Sciences Standards of Learning (SOLs) produced a politically correct 402 page monstrosity in August. It was revised to a much improved 53 page piece in October. The Left, including the NAACP, is pushing back with inflammatory rhetoric absent any or all facts. History and Social Sciences aren’t …
Education Indoctrination in Virginia: Continued. The Virginia Board of Education posted the History and Social Studies Standards of Learning (SOLs) for comment. The 402 page document establishes what will be taught K-12 in Virginia Public Schools. The subject matter is covered well, but skewed with a focus on race, class, and gender.

“Judge a man by his questions, rather than his answers.” — Voltaire on, thinking for ourselves, as opposed to allowing others to do so.
Over the last century American education has continued to decline, both in academic achievement and moral quality.
Having spent thirteen years as an administrator (department head & dean) at the University of Illinois, I learned early on how heavy-handed academia can be when it comes to practicing political correctness on campus. The First Amendment right of free speech is too often denied to students and faculty who don’t support or adhere to …
The Looming NCO Crisis: Introduction This blog is about a looming crisis that could happen in the US military’s Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) corps.

We have had a discussion concerning equity and federal benefits. Any program that mandates that we will be the same, that there is equity, while it may not be racist, it is definitely restrictive to the God-given right of pursuit of happiness.

Make no mistake, we are amid a social revolution that will fundamentally reshape American society and government.
