I love to hear stories like these. They reveal the utter cultural otherworldliness of atheists. There is an allegation — one that has reached all the way from Georgia to Wisconsin — that a varsity high school football coach allows local churches to prepare pre-game meals for his football team. It also alleges that the […]

I am working with a young man in my church who earned his college degree in business management from an accredited college in the month he turned 18. He was home schooled. He paid $13,000, total. They never tell you about stories like his in the mainstream media. MarketWatch is a major publisher in the […]

Pity the person, probably female, who went to college in order to get a job as a teacher. Since 2008, the number of public school teaching jobs has fallen by 300,000 jobs. This will fall a lot more. Yet the number of women with teaching credentials is rising. Result: lower wages, larger classes. The graduate […]

The utter insanity of bureaucratic public education got international attention recently. A 13-year-old California girl was threatened with expulsion because she had a photo of her older brother in his military uniform on her school notebook. She also had a photo of her after-school softball team. The story got picked up by local TV station […]

The great myth of all government bureaucrats is this: if the taxpayers shovel in more money, performance will increase. The opposite is usually true. Cut a budget, and performance increases. The best example in America life of the failure of the “spend more, and results improve” is tax-funded K-12 education. I graduated from high school […]

President Obama signed an executive order — not a bill sent by Congress — to allow up to 1.7 million illegal immigrants to temporarily get legal residence. Not being a law, this order can be reversed if a new President cancels it. Congress has nothing to say about it either way. My guess is that […]

To assess modern public school education, read this. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A few days ago my best friend from high school sent me a ‘Viet Nam Veteran’ cap. I never had one of these before, and I was pretty hyped about it, […]

A man who owes $142,000 in student debt is on disability. He gets $1,200 a month. The debt is getting larger: interest payments. He initially got a cooking job. He was paid $10 an hour. That’s what $142,000 got him. What did he major in? Culinary arts? That’s a fancy phrase for cooking. He lives […]

It’s true. If you can prove you are an illegal alien, you get a really good discount at UCLA. See the video. But the video neglects something far more outrageous. I’ll get to this shortly. What the video did not reveal is this: state universities across the United States offer the same benefits, and have […]
