1) Cleaning the Air
Yesterday was Earth Day, which now has become Earth Week, and we have great news: the planet isn’t dying. It’s getting cleaner.

That may come as a surprise to those who’ve been indoctrinated with doomsday environmental rhetoric since they were in pre-school, but the reality — at least for the U.S. — is much cleaner than at any time since the dawning of the industrial age.

The House Republican Policy Committee has just assembled the historical data ([link removed]) .

The air quality performance is astounding. Over the past 60 years, GDP is up nearly 800% but emissions are DOWN 60% even though we are still using record amounts of fossil fuels.

[link removed]
Lead levels in the air are down 87%.

[link removed]
Carbon monoxide levels are down 86%.

[link removed]
Remember, lead, particulates, smog, and carbon monoxide are pollutions that can kill – especially those with respiratory problems. Carbon dioxide is not a pollution. It’s necessary for life on earth.

2) Education in America: More Money, More Employees, Fewer Kids, Worse Results
The argument we hear most from the Education Blob against education freedom is that we must first “fully fund" public schools before letting parents with middle and lower incomes have a real choice on where their kids go to school.

But this graph from Corey DeAngelis, the author of the new book "The Parent Revolution," ([link removed]) shows that in recent years, K-12 employees (mostly administrators) have been rising sharply while student populations and class sizes are dropping. Test scores, by the way, are falling or at best staying stagnant.

[link removed]
When you spend more and you get worse results, this is the very definition of falling productivity. We wonder: Is there any other industry in America outside of public education where productivity keeps falling year after year?

3) Math Is Racist Now Too
In 2001 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded a report called Dismantling Racism in Math Instruction: A Pathway to Equitable Instruction. ([link removed]) It’s being widely disseminated across the education world. The point of the guide ([link removed]) is to “dismantle white supremacy by making visible the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture with respect to math.”

We understand how history or literature could be taught in a racist way, but MATH? Here are some of the supposed characteristics of white supremacy in teaching math:

“perfectionism, sense of urgency, defensiveness, quantity over quality, worship of the written word, paternalism, either/or thinking, power hoarding, fear of open conflict, individualism, only one right way…”

Kali Fontanilla of the Capital Research Center (and a former public school teacher) exposed this nonsense and published a pretty good takedown:

When you were in 4th grade frantically completing a timed multiplication test, if you were any color other than white, you were being oppressed by the pressure to get it done quickly. Were you penalized for an incorrect answer? Doubly oppressed! Was your grade lowered because your handwriting was illegible on your answers? No doubt, you are now owed reparations!

As ridiculous as this sounds, this is the current reality our black and brown public-school students are facing. Especially if their left-leaning math instructors have bought into the ridiculous ideology that “rigid” (and practical) math instruction is “white supremacist” and has been set up to “oppress” minorities. Since practically everything is “racist” now, including drinking milk and asking your students to speak proper English, why not add math instruction to the mix?

4) Shutting Down Clear So You Can Wait in Longer Lines at the Airport
Are any of you customers of CLEAR? The service allows frequent flyers to pay an annual fee to prescreen using biometric data at airport TSA security in order to reduce their wait time and make their flights on time.

The Democrats in California want to make that service illegal. The California State Senate Transportation Committee is debating a bill banning the security screening firm Clear from California airports.

The bill's sponsor, Sen. Josh Newman, says CLEAR is unfair:

[link removed]
"It's a basic equity issue when you see people subscribed to a concierge service being escorted in front of people who have waited a long time to get to the front of the TSA line," Newman told CBS News.

CLEAR is in use at nine California airports, along with many sports stadiums and other venues.

It’s no surprise that the bill is supported by some TSA union locals (who have more jobs when the lines are longer) and the radical Association of Flight Attendants union, whose members have their own security bypass.

This proposal would actually make wait lines longer for everyone – even those without CLEAR.

But this is how the left views the world through their “equity“ lens: everyone has to suffer equally. It’s the same mindset that concludes it’s not fair that some kids get to attend good schools, so let’s force every kid to attend an equally bad school.

5) Prime Minister Marape of Papua New Guinea: We’re Not Cannibals
Here's one for the can't-make-it-up file:

[link removed]
Perhaps Joe thinks New Guinea is one of those s%@$-hole countries that Trump talks about.
