Homeschool, if you can
One of the biggest benefits of homeschooling is the healthy distance home education puts between politics, their peers, and our kids.
We live in an era where government is God and its priesthood is post-modernist partisan activism. A time when parents are told to rest the responsibility of raising their children in the hands of ‘socialisation’, sporting clubs, or sexualised peers groomed through pornography, propaganda, and sociopathic social media.
This is a time when knowledge is on tap, soured by incoherence and confusion. A time when feeling good trumps doing good because the God-fearing love of many has grown cold.
We live in a time when experts like big media, Big Pharma, and big government, tell us what to think, when to act, what to say, and what pill to take to keep the manufactured monsters at bay.
A time when we’re told – without regard for the irony – that the only absolute truth is that absolute ‘truths’ don’t exist.
A time when neighbour will denounce neighbour for not using the ‘correct’ pronoun.
A time when family members will bear false witness against family members – accusing them of racism, or bigotry – for honestly refusing to live under condemnation because they’re heterosexual, have a big family, or were born with ‘white’ skin.
Some would say the whole idea of living by lies being a loving act, is indicative of the fact we’ve entered a dystopian society without realising it.
A society ruled by the drugs of comfort, pleasure, ‘niceness’, victim cults, and nanny state safetyism.
On par with Chinese Communism, the political incursion into our children’s spaces is already taking place.
One local Church-owned centre near me doesn’t consider itself Christian.
Educators cannot teach Christian kids the gospel, nor are they allowed to do Christian art and craft for fear of being wrapped over the knuckles by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) thought police.
They’re not allowed to read to kids moral stories grounded in Biblical truths that have been the glue of good government (and civil unity in Western Civilisation) for centuries.
To illustrate how skewed the ‘sector’s’ political priorities are, daycare kids can recite the 70s-era Welcome to Country, but not Advance Australia Fair or the Lord’s Prayer.
To add, I was recently told that daycare educators are being forced to refer to their industry as a ‘sector’.
Their educators, regardless of age, level of certification, and experience, are to be ambiguously referred to as ‘professionals’.
In a way this diabolical political newspeak somewhat makes sense.
The Childcare ‘sector’, with its large amount of government funding, has become – and is becoming – another branch of our country’s bloated bureaucracy.
Instead of empowering mums and dads, I would argue that these changes give government more power over parents.
For instance, if these new Orwellian government employees, dressed up as daycare workers, say water is no longer wet, or that 2 + 2 no longer equals 4, who are parents to argue?
After all, these workers – some of whom are childless and fresh out of school – are parenting ‘professionals!’
With the penchant for replacing playtime and education with indoctrination, it turns out Australian daycares, really aren’t about caring for kids at all.
Consider how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion – all part of the mentally unstable Woke ideology – excludes Christian kids from celebrating and learning about Christian holidays with their friends.
What this turn towards 1984 looks like, is a seditious scheme to replace parents with parenting professionals.
Mum and dad replaced by the non-gender specific all-powerful state.
To paraphrase Roger Scruton, it’s only when we examine the roots behind these changes, that we begin to ‘find refuge from the demon’.
Pre-empting the Woke apocalypse, the late great the British philosopher, declared:
‘Vulgar relativism has no hope of surviving outside the minds of ignorant rascals.
‘The writer who says that there are no truths, or that all truth is ‘merely relative’ is asking you not to believe him. So don’t.’
Homeschool where you can, when you can, and if you can.

************************************************Biden Admin to Investigate School for Hosting Event Only Allowing Girls and ‘Gender Diverse’ Students
This week, the Biden administration opened an investigation into a Pennsylvania school district after a parental rights organization filed a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education because the school district hosted a STEM event solely for “girls and gender diverse students.”
In March, Townhall exclusively reported how the organization Parents Defending Education filed a federal civil rights complaint against Lower Merion School District in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. According to documents obtained by PDE and shared with Townhall, the school district hosted an academic event called “the inaugural Girls+ STEM Night.” The event is meant to “expose younger girls and gender diverse students to various STEM-related careers and fields in hopes that it will spark an interest to pursue science, technology, engineering and math inside and outside of the classroom” and promised to hold future events of the same nature.
“By its plain terms…only some students may attend this school program. It excludes others — and this exclusion is based solely on an individual’s sex,” PDE told Townhall. “As for the future ‘girls and gender diverse’ programming and networking opportunities, that too would confer a benefit on the basis of sex not offered to all students.”
The letter outlining the complaint noted that discrimination on the basis of sex violates Title IX, which states that “no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
This week, the OCR sent a letter to PDE stating that an investigation would take place for Title IX violations.
“You allege that the District discriminates against students on the basis of sex because it offers Girls + STEM Night, which was open only to girls and gender diverse students. OCR also enforces Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and its implementing regulation, 34 C.F.R. Part 106 (Title IX), which prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex by recipients of Federal financial assistance. As a recipient of Federal financial assistance from the Department, the District is subject to Title IX and its implementing regulations… CR will investigate this complaint because OCR has jurisdiction and the allegation was filed timely,” the letter said.
Earlier this year, PDE filed a complaint with the U.S. Office for Civil Rights after a public high school in Massachusetts restricted auditions for a school play for students who identify as people of color, which Townhall covered. In February, the organization unveiled documents that exposed a school district in Kansas for hiding students’ gender transitions from parents.
“Lower Merion has been flouting STEM programming on social media that is only open to some elementary students and flagrantly excludes others, based on their biological sex. Title IX protects students from discrimination on the basis of sex,” Caroline Moore, vice president of Parents Defending Education, told Townhall. “All students should be given the same opportunities to thrive, end of story. We hope this will be a reality check for Lower Merion.”

Student slams school board for allowing violent trans student in bathroom
We are in the midst of a heated debate when it comes to transgender rights and protections in our schools.
Recently, at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California, a transgender student was accused of assaulting female students in the girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms.
This has stirred up the conversation surrounding transgender rights in the school system and has many parents and students voicing their concerns.
Megan Simpkins, a senior at MLK High School, recently addressed the Riverside Unified School District Board with her concerns. “I am an 18-year-old high school student and wanted to take this time to bring to your attention the current issue with biological men claiming they are women and in turn, truly believing that they are entitled to use women’s spaces,” she said.
Simpkins continued, “It was infuriating when I had seen the video on social media, but what was detrimental to this is the fact that this man is, and has been using, the women’s restroom and locker room.”
She then asked the board a difficult question: “Why are we affirming the mental confusion of this boy and putting the safety of women in jeopardy by allowing mentally confused men to use the women’s spaces?”
The board received some further insight from another parent. “If anything happens to my daughter and the people in the uniforms come after me because I take care of a guy, now I’m in jail because of the bad things you guys allow to happen.
That’s not cool at all. So now what happens to my daughter? It’s unacceptable. Put yourself in the same situation. Would you guys want your daughter to be beaten down by a guy? Then what would you guys do?”
It’s time for our school board to take a hard stance on this issue and ensure that our students are protected. We can’t allow any student, regardless of gender, to be put in a position of vulnerability.
We need to ensure that our children are safe and protected in school, and that includes protecting them from any potential physical or mental harm. We need to make sure that our schools are not promoting a particular gender identity and instead should be focused on providing a safe learning environment for all students.
