Matt and Mercedes Schlapp will be hosting the 100th episode of CPAC NOW: America UnCanceled with Congressman Jim Jordan tomorrow night, Tuesday, October 26th.
 
Late Friday night, the National School Boards Association (NSBA) issued an apology for its recent letter, likening concerned parents to "domestic terrorists." In its apology, the NSBA wrote, "On behalf of NSBA, we regret and apologize for the letter," and further stated that "there was no justification for some of the language included in the letter." This apology is a huge win for conservatives, and it shows that our grassroots activism does make a difference.

 

While this apology was an important step for the NSBA to take, it is, by no means, the end of our struggle against the woke culture seeping into our schools. The Left is obsessed with false narratives, which is why they want to reframe our nation's history as a racist story, and teach our children Critical Race Theory and the vile revisionist history project, the 1619 Project. Facts have been discarded for narratives the Left finds helpful for its agenda. NSBA and many of the other national education organizations are committed to a far-left agenda.

 

Take action today. If your local school board is a member of NSBA, let your school board know that the extremist behavior of NSBA is destructive, and unnecessary -- and ask your school board to disassociate from this group.

 

Here's a look at everything ACU accomplished last week:

Tell Congress to OPPOSE President Biden’s vaccine mandates on Americans

President Biden has issued sweeping vaccine mandates, forcing employees at companies with more than 100 people to get vaccinated, as well as dictating to federal employees and contract workers that they get the vaccine. Employers face large fines, and employees face immediate termination for not complying.

 

Congress must hear from all of us. Contact your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose and defund these heavy-handed mandates that undermine individual freedom and liberty.

Nolan Center for Justice

ACU Foundation’s Pat Nolan had an op-ed published in The American Spectator this week pointing out that having a meaningful job is the surest way to reduce recidivism and make our communities safer. By creating a better pathway to expungements for those who are no longer public safety threats, we can get more people in the workforce while we reduce crime and government spending.

 

“Recognizing this, Congress and several states are considering ‘Clean Slate’ legislation, which would clear the records of some offenders who have stayed on the straight and narrow for sufficiently long to be considered ‘redeemed.’ In fact, Clean Slate legislation has already been enacted in Pennsylvania, Utah, Michigan, Virginia, and Connecticut.”

Join The American Conservative Union’s Membership Circles!

“At a time when both major parties are passing through upheaval and realignment, ACU and CPAC remain firmly committed to conservative fundamentals, to personal liberty and free markets. The struggle between Karl Marx and Adam Smith never ends, and the day we think we have won for good is the day we are doomed to defeat.

 

My earliest political commitment began with my writing a campaign song for Eisenhower at age 11. Republican Joe McCarthy muddied the waters by making it politically unacceptable to call communists and communism by their proper name. But the strife of truth with falsehood goes on.

From the end of World War II communists sought to take over this country through the press and the education system. And while we celebrated the fall of the Soviet Union the ideas that have undermined that country and so many others took hold in the very sectors which have been the long term targets of communism.

 

I support ACU/CPAC as a beacon of hope in troubled times. As a retired Foreign Service Officer and economist, I understand the fallacy of the philosophy being promoted by Democrats today, and know the importance of supporting an organization that can champion liberty and guide young people to reject the siren call of those who would use our own money to enslave us to government.”
