Disguising DEI: Schools Keep Trying to Push a Discredited Ideology
It’s back-to-school season, and some teachers have promised that the racist ideas from diversity, equity, and inclusion would not be in their classrooms this year. That’s the good news. The bad news is that many of these teachers and administrators are clearly telling whoppers.
In fact, K-12 schools and colleges around the country are disguiding their DEO offices and their racial preferences.
Take Maryland, across the border from the nation’s capital and where many federal bureaucrats sleep and send their children to school.
State education officials said schools would comply with President Donald Trump’s executive orders calling on schools to reject DEI, citing the ways in which DEI programs violate civil rights laws. Click here to read more.
Lawmaker Backs Plan to Let Michigan Bow Hunters Pack Pistols for Protection
LANSING, Mich. – One Michigan lawmaker wants to move forward with a plan to allow Michigan bow hunters to carry a pistol with them for personal protection.
“Hunters can face many dangers in the woods, especially from close encounters with predator species like bears, wolves, and cougar,” said Rep. Dave Prestin (R-Cedar River), who is backing the legislation. “Bow hunters are very limited in their ability to respond if one of these animals becomes aggressive and decides to attack them.”
Currently, Michigan law only allows bow hunters to carry a pistol if they possess a valid Concealed Pistol License (CPL). Prestin explained that “Gun owners who are otherwise legally able to open-carry their handguns are prohibited from doing so once they walk into the woods with a bow.”
Prestin explained that a black bear with three cubs attacked a young bow hunter last year. The hunter held the bear off but required 40 stitches in his leg from an injury sustained during the attack. He said Michigan hunters deserve safety in the woods. Click here to read more.
Another Year of Education Failure for Our Nation’s Children
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has released national scores for 2024. Those scores continue to be on the decline. In fact, they are at record lows.
The majority of students who took the NAEP were not proficient in reading or math. Only 35% of seniors were proficient in reading, and just 22% were proficient in math. These new graduates are educationally handicapped as they take off on their postsecondary paths. How are they supposed to be successful in college? Clearly, something has got to change because our kids aren’t being educated.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon had plenty to say about these abysmal numbers. In a post on X, she wrote, “Today’s [NAEP] 12th grade math and reading and 8th grade science scores confirm a devastating trend: American students are testing at historic lows. Nearly HALF of America’s high school seniors are testing at below basic levels in math and reading. The status quo is failing our students.”
McMahon went on to explain that billions of taxpayer dollars have been thrown at public education, yet there is no improvement in student achievement. Her pitch, as well as President Donald Trump’s, is to send that money to the states and allow them to be responsible for their own students’ success. Click here to read more.

It stemmed from an altercation with a student over a cell phone.
Police described what is seen in the video as a “tussle.”
The video shows a teacher and a student entangled over a cell phone.
“When I seen the teacher on my daughter, my heart dropped. I was worried. I was concerned. I was too busy, worried about my child’s safety,” said mother Gwendolyn Williams.
This year, Tennessee banned cell phones in classrooms statewide.
Memphis-Shelby County Schools recently updated its policy to follow the law.
It says phone can be confiscated, but “teachers are not encouraged to physically retrieve them, only request a surrender or call an administrator.” Click here to read more.
