The American public school system has long been a battleground for competing worldviews, particularly when it comes to the origin of life, the nature of truth, and the role of God in human history. Behind every textbook and every curriculum decision lies an underlying philosophy—one that shapes not only what is taught but what is…
Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me: Wilfred Reilly Exposes the Left’s War on American History
In his compelling and sharply critical book titled Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me: Debunking the False Narratives Defining America’s School Curricula, political scientist Wilfred Reilly takes aim at the dominant ideologies shaping modern education in the United States. Reilly, known for his earlier works like Hate Crime Hoax and Taboo, continues his mission of…
Be aware of the intentional, deceptive conflation of false gender ideology with real intersex conditions
I recently watched a video of a local school board meeting. A community member mentioned intersex conditions during his three minute allotment. I am not sure what his objective was, but it seemed to be geared towards justifying gender ideology beliefs through conflating them with disorders of sexual development (DSDs), more commonly called intersex conditions.…

These evils include unrestrained abortion, corruption of the innocence of youth…

School board elections are difficult due to their non-partisan nature, which allows the possibility of electing individuals that don’t reflect conservative values. Local media interviews are useful to form an…
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian
“The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie has generated controversy at local school board meetings. The board approved the book for inclusion in junior level English classes despite sexual references that may violate Indiana state obscenity laws related to youth. Sadly, only one board member out of seven voted against inclusion.…
Indiana house bill HB1134 or similar legislation requiring curriculum transparency in public schools should be considered
Indiana legislature is considering HB1134. HB1134 seeks to curb indoctrination of children into woke ideology, primarily through curriculum transparency and limiting classroom conversation on related topics. It’s no secret woke idealogues want to change our nation. Sadly, Biden’s administration supports their efforts. Wokeness is evolved Marxism. White, heterosexual, cisgender (non-transgender) Christian males are viewed as…
