Education

Teachers, a TVLand comedy series set in a public elementary school, got oddly political in their Halloween episode which, for some reason, aired on November 29, when they erroneously claimed that public schools don't teach students about Native Americans. 

Fox sitcom The Mick got pretty gross with the November 28 episode "The Teacher" when they presented a love triangle between high schooler Sabrina (Sofia Black-D'Elia), her Aunt "Mick" (Kaitlin Olson), and her teacher, Mr. Reed. After Mr. Reed drops her off late at night on his motorcycle, and hearing how Sabrina talks about him, Mick suspects the relationship is inappropriate, and decides to find…

The front page of Sunday’s Washington Post was dominated by a mockery of conservatives for feeling – accurately – that higher education in America is cultural territory fiercely held by the Left. Post husband-and-wife duo Kevin Sullivan and Mary Jordan wrote a piece with the headline “On elitists, ‘crybabies,’ and ‘junky’ degrees: A Trump backer details conservatives’ anger at American…

Appearing as a guest on Friday's New Day on CNN a year after Fidel Castro's death to promote his film about Castro's Cuba, filmmaker Jon Alpert blamed the United States for the economic failures of communism on the island country as he charged that the U.S. ruined the Cuban economy by flooding the sugar market in the 1970s.

A common feature of our time is the extent to which many in our nation have become preoccupied with diversity. But true diversity obsession, almost a mania, is found at our institutions of higher learning. Rather than have a knee-jerk response for or against diversity, I think we should ask just what is diversity and whether it's a good thing. How do we tell whether a college, a department or…

With Thanksgiving only days away, I want to share one thing for which I'm thankful: from the premiere of SMILF on November 5 to its second episode on November 12, viewership fell by a third. Having just endured the third episode, November 19th's "Half a Sheet Cake and a Blue-Raspberry Slushie," here's hoping the American people continue to be driven away from this show as quickly in the weeks to…

When hunting was the major source of food, hunters often used stalking horses as a means of sneaking up on their prey. They would synchronize their steps on the side of the horse away from their prey until they were close enough for a good shot. A stalking horse had a double benefit if the prey was an armed person. If the stalkers were discovered, it would be the horse that took the first shot.…

In the October 31 episode of Blackish, the spookiest thing is their take on education. In the episode, "Public Fool," Junior (Marcus Scribner) gets expelled from his fancy private school, which makes him persona non grata at the other private schools in the area. With those off the table, there is only one choice left- public school. Like most things on Blackish, they have to make this a race…

On Sunday's AM Joy, one left-wing MSNBC guest portrayed Republicans as a "RepubliKlan party" promoting "white supremacy," and another guest tried to paint one of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees as a "segregationist" as he also smeared former Senator Jesse Helms as "one of the most notorious racists in American politics."  

Jane the Virgin has tackled a lot of issues over the years. Chastity (obviously), abortion, immigration reform, and even dealing with an evil twin. On the October 20 episode, "Chapter Sixty-Six," school choice was added into the mix. Jane (Gina Rodriguez) and Rafael's (Justin Baldoni) son Mateo always had anything he wanted due to his father's fortune but, because Rafael he lost his inheritance,…

The new CBS series SEAL Team has had its questionable moments, but the October 18 episode "Ghosts of Christmas Future" shared some important truths about the world. Main character and SEAL Team leader Jason (David Boreanaz) and his wife Alana (Michaela McManus) are at their son's school meeting with both his principal and counselor when the principal shares his P.C. education philosophy.

The New York Times isn’t just accused of political bias, it’s science bias too. The paper is being sued for libel by a university professor after an article about academics and food lobbies, according to The Gainesville Sun.

On Saturday's AM Joy on MSNBC, during a discussion of President Donald Trump's appearance at the Values Voters Summit, host Joy Reid fretted over MRC bumper stickers criticizing the liberal media while also griping about flyers for a book exposing the dangers of homosexual behavior that were given out. Reid reacted: "I mean, the stuff that they're distributing there, it feels so counter to the…

If it were a plague, the government would rush to quarantine the infected, as occurred during Europe's Black Death in the 14th century. An immigration debate at Seattle University School of Law is a plague of a different sort, but deadly in a different way. The victim here is the right to free speech.
