President Donald Trump’s latest executive order titled “RESTORING TRUTH AND SANITY TO AMERICAN HISTORY” replicates a tactic used by all authoritarian regimes. In the name of countering bias, they distort the nation’s history into self-serving mythology. History will be used to justify the power of the ruling elites in the present by deifying the ruling...

I’m all for it.
This video is available on Rumble, Bitchute, Odysee, Telegram, and X. I just learned that this year, New York City Public Schools introduced a full, pre-kindergarten-to-12th grade all-black curriculum. When I looked though this book of detailed lesson plans, I figured it had to be only for black schools in Harlem or the South Bronx,... Read More
Critical Daze follows on Spencer J. Quinn’s No College Club, reviewed at TOO by F. Roger Devlin. As Devlin notes, there is probably no area in greater need of pro-White messaging than fiction aimed at young adults (aged 12–18). And, although it is aimed at this age group, I found it to be a riveting... Read More
It’s a huge money machine.
This video is available on Rumble, Bitchute, and Odysee. Meet Sharif El-Mekki, an unabashed black radical — shown here with none other than Angela Davis — who carries on the tradition of tickling money out of the wallets of rich white liberals. His motives are clear enough: Line his pockets while he promotes what he... Read More
The NGO that makes these programs, LGBT Youth UK, is entirely staffed by women, homosexuals, and trannies. Adult homosexuals are preying on very little kids in government schools and no one is doing anything to stop it. Instead, Scottish right-wingers are making endless YouTube videos decrying wokeness in the latest Star Trek show. GB News:... Read More
If it wasn’t for racism, black people wouldn’t act like this. If there was some other reason than racism, it would have to be something intrinsic to them, racially, and “genetics” are a debunked hoax like Ivermectin horse paste. The only reason they act like this is racism. Shut up about this “genetics” hoax, or... Read More
Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, there was one thing I learned: there are no two groups of people who hate each other more than American blacks and Somalians. It’s surprising that this violence doesn’t flare up and spill over into the news a lot more often. New York Post: Yeah, of course it did. 100%... Read More
As a schoolboy, Ed Dutton decided he was a “humanities person.” He felt an immediate interest in the lives of his ancestors and the people around him, and so enjoyed learning about history and literature, which spoke to him of such things. Memories of eighth-grade lessons on stamens and pistils, on the other hand, still... Read More
Science should be the most fascinating of subjects at school. Yet the way it is taught it is often very boring, and doesn’t answer stimulating and important questions about human beings, whom I believe are an advanced form of ape. Why are the most racially diverse cities in the United States are also the most... Read More
We reported extensively on the German home-schooling Romeike family (above) in 2013, when the Obama Administration weirdly resisted their asylum request: Obama Frees Foreign Criminals but Seeks to Deport German Homeschoolers, by Brenda Walker March 19, 2013 Memo From Middle America | Eric Holder’s DOJ Finds Some Foreigners It Wants To Deport—White Evangelical German Homeschoolers,...

The global Anne Frank crisis has escalated, yet again. Oh boy. RT: From typhus, by the way. She died from typhus. She was not ele
Everybody knows that 2 + 2 = 4 since 4 = 2 + 2. They know that excellent thing with certainty but generally fail to appreciate the charming nature of 2 + 2 = 5. Tautologies are usually preferred to choices that seem to contradict the “laws of nature.” Mind-forged manacles are popular because freedom... Read More
In the West, also known as the “World Community,” mediocrity reigns supreme everywhere and at all levels. Not only in the arts, but everywhere, from politics to science, from education to business. The fact that mediocrity has become the norm everywhere, is proof that all institutions have become over-organized. It is plain for everyone to... Read More
[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] Last week I mentioned the 13 million dollar payout from New York City to Antifa who got their hair mussed by the NYPD during the George Floyd riots. That’s nothing to the 1.8 billion-dollar settlement to blacks and Hispanics who failed the teacher-licensing exam... Read More
You know who the real terrorists are, don’t you? Parents who don’t want their kids getting ass-blasted at the school. These people are a threat to our democracy and our values. Moreover, they are totally anti-Semitic. We have to stop these Christian parents before they stop their children from doing anal – and then start... Read More
The simplest definition of education is the transmission of culture, so it is not surprising that schools are on the front lines of the present kulturkampf. As usual, the Right is reacting to the dynamic cultural changes initiated by the Left whose goal is to replace Western civilization with a globalist multi-ethnic, multi-cultural “civilization.” A...

The only way to stop it. Thumbnail credit: © Daniel A. Varela/Miami Herald via ZUMA Press Wire This video is available on Rumble, BitChute, and Odysee. In last week’s video, I explained that today, higher education is brainwashing. The Left has taken over, and there is only one point of view on race, diversity, anthropology,... Read More
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth. Diogenes.
I am in favour of countries, in the same way that I am in favour of houses having lockable front doors. Countries have good precedents: the first biological cell seen by Robert Hook in 1665 seemed to him like the small cellular rooms monks lived in. The cell is the motor of life, and it... Read More
American public schools are getting worse. Declining results are clear in the government’s own “Nation’s Report Card” on the state of public education. The National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) likewise shows that students got lower scores in mathematics across almost the entire country in 2021 compared to 2019. Blacks and Hispanics fell even farther... Read More
It is really as if God is making it so no one can claim they didn’t know what was happening in America. Look at this video – watch it. It’s little kids. They are aggressively pushing this on little kids. Toddlers. All that a kid does is watch adults (and older kids) and learn. They... Read More
[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] In my November Diary here at VDARE.com I led off with the heading "Dismantling the meritocracy." I noted how big licensing associations for important professions—the Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Bar Association—were de-prioritizing merit in selecting entrants to their professions in...

For background, the Boston school system had for many years grappled with the problem of how to assign students to Boston’s public schools that could both let children attend one of the few good schools in the system while also finding one close to their homes. They also wanted to ensure that students from poor... Read More
This writing sketches out a perspective on schooling and education (they are different things; more on that later on) for your consideration, including what, if anything, to do about it. Me: Retired after a career in schooling, first as a high school teacher and later a professor of education. Late in life, the birth of... Read More

Earlier: The NYT's "Banned Books" List: Grossly Misleading As A Measure Of American Close-Mindedness A persistent, highly-mocked social media meme is that of prominent Democrats reading what they claim to be “banned books.” The meme’s implication: conservatives and Republicans are censoring what kids can read in school or borrow from the public library. Nothing could... Read More

New York City is paying out nearly $1.8 billion to black and Hispanic teachers who were unable to pass a test that was required for them to get a New York State teacher’s license. Thus far, more than half of the plaintiffs in this decades-old class action suit have won compensatory damages; Silvia Alvarez was... Read More

There is a huge literature that tries to explain the disparities between different racial groups, especially between blacks and whites. The most popular titles blame geography and conquest. Unfortunately, their ideas blend together in the public consciousness and create an inaccurate view of history that portrays the population of sub-Saharan Africa as victims. In my... Read More
This story is one of hundreds Colin Flaherty planned to publish in a book before his death. American Renaissance will post one every week. I attended Los Angeles public schools for a bit less than half a school year, back during the forced busing of the early 1970s. Not once did I see a white... Read More
This is part of our continuing series of accounts by readers of how they shed the illusions of liberalism and became race realists. I can say growing up in the suburb of a small American city that I had not had much experience with blacks. The experiences that I had were relegated to the few... Read More

Dismantling Bilingual Education in American Public Schools
The English Wars began twenty-five years ago. On a May 1997 morning I stood in the Las Familias del Pueblo daycare center in downtown Los Angeles and announced that I had filed an initiative to dismantle California's decades-old system of "bilingual education" for Latino immigrant children, a curriculum that amounted to Spanish-almost-only instruction. Although the... Read More

Good news everyone, the white race is victorious again. Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe in last night’s election for governor. White advocates can savor Mr. McAuliffe’s defeat last night for several reasons. First, it was a good night for Southern rights. Terry McAuliffe was governor during the 2017 Unite the Right...

The standard narrative does not stand up to serious historical scrutiny
There has been major pushback against a Texas state education official who said that if schools are adhering to a new state law that mandates teaching alternative points of view on controversial issues having a course and a book on the holocaust, for example, would suggest providing material that reflects other interpretations of that historical...

The justice department targets dissenters
There have been a number of suggestions online that the withdrawal of American soldiers from overseas is being undertaken to use the troops against those individuals and domestic groups that are being targeted by the Justice Department. The possibility has a certain coherency given that we have a White House that it believes it has... Read More
The UK Parliament Education committee has produced a report on left-behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds entitled: The forgotten: how White working-class pupils have been let down, and how to change it (This provides the page from which you can download the report). It’s about time, you may say, that as everyone parades their genetics... Read More
[Excerpted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively through VDARE.com] I've passed comment before, more than once, on the ambivalence we all feel towards the police and other law enforcement agencies. We know we need them; we appreciate what a tough job they have; we want to support them and encourage them; but …... Read More

Methinks the US may very well be heading toward a social explosion. The phrase “race war “is overwrought if it implies organized units and chains of command. However, in a country awash in firearms, a bloody, disorganized, continent-wide eruption is possible. To think “it can’t happen here” is complacently inattentive. We have already seen it... Read More
Bitch, I ain’t even be know what you be is sayin’ bot nunna dis sheeiiit.” We have to compete with China. We also have to punish our children for being competitive.

The British Broadcasting Corporation is one of the world’s largest (35,000 employees including part-timers) and best funded news organisations, against which few can compete. Not only does it have a budget which in 2018-19 amounted to £4.0 billion ($5.6 billion), but it is virtually guaranteed the continuation of that level of income by a government... Read More

The Biden Administration has gone out of its way to show itself as absolutely “woke-compatible” and even as a champion of “wokeness” (Foggy Bottom has just allowed US embassies and consulates to fly the “gay pride” flag next to the Stars and Stripes. I bet you they won’t do that in Riyadh!). According to the... Read More
Suddenly, ordinary Americans are rising to resist anti-white Cultural Marxist Critical Race Theory indoctrination in their schools. An authentic grassroots movement at the state and local level is forcing state legislatures and school boards to act against this poisonous Communist doctrine. Naturally, the Regime Media is speaking power to truth, trying to “explain” things to... Read More
There is no man that university corrupts not
We can provide education for everyone, but we cannot offer everyone privilege. A conspiracy of Potemkin progressives and masochistic liberals have sold the general public the idea that we all can up-grade our lives by getting more education. Education is now seriously competing with work for the main pastime of our existence. Until the mid... Read More
It will be difficult or even impossible to go back to a system where learning is actually a discipline that requires hard work and dedication. Public education in the United States, if measured by results, has been producing graduates that are less competent in language skills and dramatically less well taught in the sciences and...

Justice for Box Turtles! Reparations for Potted Plants!
Headline “Fairfax school board eliminates admissions test at Thomas Jefferson High School” probably America’s most demanding school for science and technology. Oh god, Oh god. Who is on the school board? Predictably education majors, the dimmest, lowest SAT-scoring dregs of the professional classes, the horror of smart students subjected to their grade-school mentalities. But not... Read More

Like the Energizer Bunny, radical egalitarians are a persistent bunch. They have long kidnapped Mother Nature and tried to torture her into transforming human nature, but being a tough old bird, she’s held steady. The latest egalitarian machinations can be seen in New York City where the quest is to equalize race-related academic achievement and,... Read More

No element of American culture is more axiomatic than the link between education and upward mobility. This relationship virtually defined the early civil rights movement but, as we shall see, not only has this link weakened, but the very opposite seems to be emerging —destroying education, especially public education, has, ostensibly, become the path to...

America’s wealthiest county surrenders to Critical Race Theory twaddle
Kurt Vonnegut’s 1961 dystopian short story “Harrison Bergeron” describes a 2081 America in which the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments to the Constitution of the United States have together mandated that all Americans must be made completely equal. No one is allowed to be more intelligent or handsome or more physically capable than anyone else.... Read More

Demographic change has remade the Old Dominion. Once reliably conservative, Virginia is now a blue state. Non-white immigrants and white liberals moving to Northern Virginia (NOVA) lead this sea change. Arlington, once home to Robert E. Lee, and Alexandria, once a city that honored the Confederacy, are occupied territory. Liberal whites and Asians face a... Read More

Wealthy suburban whites may put Black Lives Matter signs on their lawn, but that doesn't mean they want blacks in their children's school. The Donald Trump campaign's naked racial appeal to white professionals to keep blacks out of their suburbs has been received with discomfort and feigned outrage by Jewish media taste makers. Polls show... Read More
Countries around the world are ignoring the media's fearmongering and starting to reopen their schools. This is a positive development which shows that the Coronavirus's psychic-grip on the population is gradually loosening. Once again, people are asserting control over their own lives and those of their children which is why reopening the schools has become... Read More

First data point you need to know: white students represent just 23 percent of public school enrollment in the state of California. Second data point you need to know: though black students make up just 5 percent of the public school enrollment in the state of California, they represent the majority of students suspended (even...
