📚 Now that school’s out and another year of virtual or hybrid learning is done, it’s time to have some serious conversations about our education system.
* School boards have forgotten their role. Last week, Alexandria, Virginia’s school board sent a unified message trying to intimidate parents and put an end to dissent. The pictures speak for themselves. Read on. ([link removed])

* Parents are getting wise to what’s really happening in schools. Powerful viral videos show a diverse group of parents speaking out against the indoctrination of children. It’s time to stand up and speak out against Critical Race Theory. Sign the petition. ([link removed])

** Biden Administration’s New Title IX Guidance Solidifies Threat To Girls’ Sports ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

The Department of Education recently took steps to legally redefine “sex” to include gender identity. In a press release, the Department announced its intention to apply Title IX’s prohibition on sex discrimination to transgender students. ([link removed]) Under the new policy, biological males who identify as female will be entitled to try out for and play on women’s sports teams. This eliminates equal opportunities for female athletes and jeopardizes their potential scholarships. Share this story. ([link removed])

The law preventing social media censorship, signed by Governor Ron DeSantis on May 24, prohibits large social media platforms from deplatforming political candidates or providing them with secret free advertising.

** Gun Violence in the U.S. ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Myths about firearms are common today and pushed by a very vocal group of anti-gun activists, Hollywood stars (who employ bodyguards and live in gated communities), and a coterie of constitutionally illiterate media elite who fail to properly inform the public about guns.

Can you identify which of the following is not true about gun violence in the U.S.?

A.
Gun homicides are at an all-time low, while gun ownership is at an all-time high.
B. Gun free zones are safer than areas where citizens are allowed to carry guns.
C. Concealed carry permit holders are the most law-abiding segment of society.

** CAPSULE REVIEW ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------


** Honor Juneteenth by Rejecting Critical Race Theory ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Juneteenth is now an official federal holiday. We should all applaud this milestone in American history as a chance to celebrate our progress and teach our children to rise above the past. But the liberal agenda, however, would rather ignore progress and exploit race to divide Americans for the purposes of acquiring power, exerting control, and silencing opposing viewpoints.

** Bipartisanship, the Broccoli of Politics ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Sad to say it, but bipartisanship is the ‘broccoli’ of politics. We all know that it’s good for us, but few of us love it. As a nation whose dessert preference is evenly divided, it would be well-advised to develop an appreciation for the health benefits of broccoli, but currently our legislators will stick to their metaphorical sweet tooth.
