America’s Largest Teachers’ Union Prizes Activism Over Education
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The City-Journal
The National Education Association’s recent webinar cloaked partisanship and ideology in the mantle of free speech. Members of America’s largest teachers’ union, the National Education Association (NEA), were back in training in February, this time for a confidential webinar entitled “Advocacy and Free Speech Rights for K-12 Educators.” The leaked slide deck, posted by the watchdog group Defending Education, reveals that the NEA is less focused on American students’ stagnant test scores than on training its members to become activists, while using misinterpretations of the First Amendment as a shield. The February session complements the union’s December 2025 in-person training on “Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice.” That event counseled attendees to “develop a toolset of tactics for dismantling systems of privilege and oppression.”

EEOC Sues Coke Bottler Over Women-Only Event

Civil rights agency says the gathering discriminated against men. A women's networking event at a Coca-Cola bottler is now the subject of a federal discrimination case. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has sued Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast over its 2024 "Women's Forum," a casino ballroom gathering in Connecticut for about 250 female employees that featured speakers, team-building, and career discussions, reports the Washington Post. The agency says inviting only women violated Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act by denying men access to a workplace "privilege," per an EEOC release.

Mamdani’s New ‘Free’ Childcare Program is Going to Cost $60,000 Per Child

It turns out that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new ‘free’ childcare program isn’t free at all. In fact, it’s going to cost $60,000 – Per child. Of course, it’ll be free for the people who get the service, but not for the taxpayers who are funding it. This is the shell game that is always played by leftists. Nothing is free and they know it. Someone always pays. Oh and by the way, this is just the rollout of the program. You know it will cost more down the road.

The American Medical Association (AMA) still supports gender transition procedures for minors, the AMA Board clarified in its March 2026 newsletter. After the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) in early February recommended against transgender surgeries for minors, the AMA issued a cryptic statement that convinced numerous media organizations to report that the AMA had likewise changed its position. The board's latest revelation clarifies that the AMA still supports all transgender procedures for minors.

Trump admin sues Minnesota over transgender athlete participation in girls' sports
Topic: Political Correctness

The 45-page lawsuit is a key step toward yanking the state’s federal funding after the administration advanced its investigation in January. The Trump administration Monday sued the Minnesota Department of Education and the state’s high school sports authority over their transgender athlete policies. The Trump administration is urging the Minnesota District Court to rule that the state’s education department and the Minnesota State High School League violated Title IX, the federal education law that bars sex-based discrimination, because they allow transgender girls to play on sports teams and use locker rooms that align with their gender identity.

Challenging Minnesota's In-State Tuition For Illegal Immigrants.

Federal Court Allows Lawsuit against Reparations Program to Move Forward

Evanston, Illinois, Gives $25,000 Gov’t Payments to Blacks Only. Judicial Watch announced today that an Illinois federal court has allowed its class action civil rights lawsuit against the City of Evanston, Illinois’ reparations program to move forward. Judicial Watch filed the class action civil rights lawsuit in May 2024, challenging Evanston’s use of race as an eligibility requirement for its “Local Reparations Restorative Housing Program,” which makes $25,000 direct cash payments to black residents and descendants of black residents who lived in Evanston between the years 1919 and 1969 (Flinn et al. v Evanston (No. 1:24-cv-04269)). Judicial Watch argues that the program’s race-based eligibility program violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. So far, 137 people have received reparations payments totaling $3.47 million.

NIH awards new funding to transgender mice experiments after DOGE cutoff. Less than a year after the Department of Government Efficiency abruptly halted funding for transgender experiments on animals, intended to improve so-called gender-affirming care for humans, the National Institutes of Health chose to fund at least one again. The University of California San Diego study of "androgen effects on the reproductive neuroendocrine axis" to fine-tune male hormones for women who identify as men, using mice that were "gonadectomized," injected with testosterone and decapitated, received another $584,117 for fiscal 2026, following the $646,301 it received for fiscal 2025.

State Could Be First to Mandate Student Weapons Checks
Topic: Children and Family

Bill nearing passage in Georgia would require daily checks at public schools. Georgia could become the first state to mandate every student be checked for weapons when arriving daily at public school. A bill is nearing passage to require weapons detection systems in a further reaction to a 2024 school shooting that killed four, per the AP. "That rifle would have never reached our hallways," says Daria Leszczynska, a junior at Apalachee High School in Winder, where the shooting took place. Some schools have long used metal detectors or required students to carry clear backpacks. Now, a new generation of tech marries computer analysis with cameras or the same electromagnetic fields as metal detectors to unearth knives and guns. The systems have spread rapidly through schools, arenas, stadiums, and hospitals. [Ed: what are schools coming to? Prisons?]

German youth center failed to report rape, sexual assault of 16-yr-old girl
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: Human Events
...because 'Muslim boys' face 'enough police scrutiny'. A German youth center did not report the rape of a young girl to authorities because "Muslim boys are already under enough police scrutiny," The Daily Mail reports, citing German media. The youth center in Neukölln, Berlin, is called Wutzkyallee. The allegations came to light when staffers at a nearby facility called MaDonna swore in an affidavit that Wutzkyallee workers did not report the rape allegations, or the suspected rapists, due to their Muslim identity. A transcript of a conversation between the center's supervisors, obtained by Bild, records a Wutzkyallee administrator saying, "Intimacy in the premises of the youth center is permitted – even between girls and several boys."

Disturbing "Five Nights At Epstein's" Online Game
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Zero Hedge
Spreads Rapidly Through Classrooms ...despite platform policies. In the game, players take on the role of victims trapped on Jeffrey Epstein’s island, trying to survive five nights by avoiding assault. Its popularity has been fueled by social media, where clips of students playing have drawn large audiences and, in some cases, even demonstrate how to bypass school restrictions. The game’s accessibility through web browsers makes it especially easy for students to access on school-issued devices. Parents and educators are alarmed not only by the game’s content but by how casually students engage with it.

ADHD May Not Be a Disorder After All
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Renegade Tribune
Some experts argue modern classrooms and rigid expectations could be a mismatch for the way some brains are wired. Isaac’s energy level, enthusiasm, and talkativeness were too much—at least for a traditional classroom. He had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); one psychologist explained that he had a high IQ but low maturity. Like Rodden, other parents, researchers, and professionals are moving away from treating ADHD purely as a disorder that 1 in 10 kids have. The word “deficit” in ADHD, they argue, obscures strengths—such as creativity, hyperfocus, and cognitive flexibility—that often accompany the condition.

Female Preference in Admissions – U.S. Technical Universities, 2001-2024
Topic: Gender Discrimination
Source: The Nuzxo Letter
In January of 2026, the National Association of Scholars hosted a webinar titled “DEI Reform at the Universities.” One of the speakers in the webinar was William (Bill) Frezza, a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a co-founder of MIT Free Speech Alliance. One part of Frezza’s presentation focused on the number of females and males who applied to MIT and were eventually admitted into MIT. Frezza presented the percentages of females and males who were admitted and then expressed the result as a ratio, which Frezza termed the “bias ratio.” Frezza’s presentation was later covered by The College Fix. The current Data Brief investigates this topic further. My first aim was to replicate Frezza’s findings. My second aim was to explore the female:male ratio at other major technical universities in the United States (U.S.). The other universities included California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Carnegie Mellon University, and Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).

Abortion Has Become a Religious Rite, not Just a Legal “Right”
Topic: Abortion
Source: Breakpoint
Earlier this month, an Indiana judge blocked a prolife law, arguing that limiting abortion violates freedom of religion. The claim, brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and Hoosier Jews for Choice, argued that an Indiana law “violates religious freedoms by burdening the ability to obtain an abortion in accordance with their sincerely held beliefs.” Judge Christina R. Klineman agreed with the argument: The court finds that there is significant public interest in ensuring the religious freedom of all citizens and the state’s position that religious freedom is somehow less important than other exceptions in the abortion law puts the court in an untenable position and finds a permanent injunction the only proper relief.

The CPS is affirming the delusions of violent men
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Spiked Online
The murderer Aurin Makepeace is not a woman, no matter how he identifies. Violent men commit violent acts. What is remarkable is that it was reported as a killing by a woman. After leaving prison in 2011, Makepeace began identifying as transgender, and so apparently otherwise sane professionals obligingly described him as female. Official and media reports were illustrated with a photograph of the convict sporting straggly blonde hair and a five o’clock shadow, set on a jawline hewn out of granite and testosterone. Yet Cheshire Live and North Wales Live inaccurately reported that Makepeace is a ‘woman’, without even referencing his trans identity. Readers could be forgiven for wondering whether the picture editor was having an episode. The BBC didn’t cover the trial, though it did publish a report following Makepeace’s arrest, which simply referred to a ‘woman’ who had been charged. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail and the Sun both referred in their headlines to Makepeace as a ‘transwoman’ and used female pronouns.

No one is ‘addicted’ to Instagram or YouTube
Topic: Political Correctness

That multimillion-dollar payout to a so-called social-media addict heralds the death of personal responsibility. Kaley (whose full name has not been made public) successfully persuaded a Los Angeles jury that she became addicted to Google-owned YouTube at age six and to Meta-owned Instagram at nine. She claimed that both addictions had deleterious effects on her wellbeing, causing her to become depressed and to self-harm by the age of 10. These claims should have been treated with far more scepticism. Any testimony based on the recollections of an adult from when they were a child should be open to question. What’s more, the drawing of a causal connection between Kaley’s social-media consumption, which began 14 years ago, and her subsequent psychological problems ignores all the many contingent factors that might also have influenced her, such as her family life and a variety of possible bad experiences.

The dystopian world of K-pop
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Spiked Online
The world’s most polished pop machine demands total submission from its up-and-coming performers. Few in South Korea have any qualms about rigorous dieting – particularly within a culture where physical beauty is a large determinant of success. Until 2019, it was legal for employers to request prospective job candidates’ weight and height. Around 40 per cent of Koreans report having been discriminated against based on appearance while seeking a job. So pervasive is looks-based hiring that it is deemed entirely acceptable for parents to ‘gift’ their children surgeries during senior year (17- to 19-year-olds) in high school in order to get ahead. This is not just vanity. Korean culture is shaped by the Confucian belief that good outward presentation is a sign of inner order and responsibility.

Young Men Aren’t Checked Out. We’ve Closed the Paths That Once Guided Them

Data from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), based on a survey of men aged 18 to 29, tells a far more complicated and revealing story: Young men are not rejecting responsibility. They are not abandoning the idea of adulthood. If anything, they are holding onto it. What they are losing is the ability to reach it. The survey’s findings are striking. Large majorities still aspire to marriage and fatherhood. They define manhood in traditional terms: responsibility, sacrifice, and the capacity to provide for others.

Women’s Work: Women Who Shaped the American Revolution
Topic: Women's Studies, Scholarship, and History
Source: Saturday Evening Post
Before and during the Revolutionary War, women’s political engagement rarely took the form of speeches in Philadelphia or signatures on founding documents. Instead, it often appeared in the choices they made in their homes and communities. In Hamilton, Eliza Hamilton famously burns the letters her husband sent her; in composer Lin-Manuel Miranda’s words, she’s “erasing herself from the narrative.” Yet many more American women were never included in the original story. Their political engagement rarely took the form of speeches in Philadelphia, signatures on founding documents, or indeed in musical reenactments. Instead, it often appeared in the choices they made in their homes and communities — political engagement of a kind that rarely makes it into song-and-dance numbers on a Broadway stage.
