Is this why Pelosi is rushing the House back into special session for $26 billion teacher bailout? With the district in a financial crisis and hundreds of its members facing layoffs, the Milwaukee teachers union is taking a peculiar stand: fighting to get its taxpayer-funded Viagra back.

The NEA teachers union is one of the worst offenders when it comes to promoting the ‘progressive’ agenda. It Advocates leftist positions on a host of issues, including abortion, sex education, teen pregnancy, school prayer, socialized medicine, affordable housing, drug testing, prisoner rights, bilingual education, global warming, and health care. And now they are pushing a radical leftist guide to revolution on their web site.

Kevin, President Obama’s “Safe” Schools Czar, comes from a career of promoting dangerously violent homosexual activities among children in public schools. His life and career are proof that his whole raison d’être is to promote homosexuality among children and teens. There is something so fundamentally wrong with the President’s appointment that parents and all adults who care about children’s well-being must demand that Kevin Jennings be fired immediately.

Christian grad student Julea Ward at Eastern Michigan University was expelled for not accepting the thought police ideology which went against her religious beliefs.

‘The focus on charter schools has duped many on the right to support the Race to the Top program. But before cheering for charter schools, parents need to be reminded that the camouflage-clad, militant youth chanting and praising President Obama came from a Kansas City, Missouri, charter school.

Today’s ruling class, from Boston to San Diego, was formed by an educational system that exposed them to the same ideas and gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as tastes and habits. These amount to a social canon of judgments about good and evil, complete with secular sacred history, sins (against minorities and the environment), and saints. Using the right words and avoiding the wrong ones when referring to such matters — speaking the “in” language — serves as a badge of identity.

Kitty Werthmann grew up in Austria, coming of age during the rule of Adolf Hitler. Austrians, she says, caught up in a nationwide economic crisis and civil unrest didn’t welcome a dictator outright, but allowed one to take over their nation little by little, step by step. Kitty shares how Austrians were lulled into accepting the rule of the Third Reich. It’s a story that shouldn’t be lost on today’s American citizens.

Two events in recent weeks point out the danger of leaving history to the historians. One is the inclusion of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin in a D-Day memorial commemorating an invasion he never took part in. The other is the rating of Stalin ally Franklin D. Roosevelt as America’s greatest president, according to ‘leading’ academics who always seem to have a leftist agenda.

The House Democrats’ package that passed Thursday cuts President Barack Obama’s signature education program, Race to the Top, and other administration reform efforts by $800 million, using the savings to help offset the cost of more Pell Grants and a new $10 billion fund to save teacher jobs.

In a dissent written by Justice Samuel Alito, and joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia and Thomas, Justice Alito concluded that the majority decision “is a serious setback for freedom of expression in this country.”
