Good morning from Washington, where educrats have done a bang-up job ruining public schooling in America. Does education freedom thrive where you live? Gillian Richards outlines a “report card” from The Heritage Foundation. In a video report, a California mother talks to Kelsey Bolar about society’s reckless rush to affirm her daughter’s gender confusion. On the podcast, philosopher  Yoram Hazony explains why religion and conservatism go together.  Plus: five charts point the way to fiscal sanity, and Nile Gardiner remembers Queen Elizabeth II.  Eighty years ago today,  a Japanese floatplane drops incendiary bombs on an Oregon state forest in the first air attack on the U.S. mainland in World War II.
