Why can’t we just follow the science? What are we following? We put up with lockdowns and distancing, masks and experimental jabs. Now our politicians are encouraging students and pregnant women to take a shot that clearly has a high rate of negative incidents, health issues, miscarriages and deaths as proven by the government VAERS database. Why are we masking our children when they have almost a zero chance of getting the virus or passing it? Three recent studies out of t... Full story
Publisher’s Note: I am using this piece below as a response to those who have written to me that CRT is not being taught in schools and that it’s another conspiracy theory. My response to them was “It’s another conspiracy theory until you figure out that it’s not.” Critical Race Theory is real and now the NEA has decided to proudly fight for it with their $350,000 annual budget. I believe they are out of step with many of their members as they have been for decades. I’ve obser... Full story
California has decided to restrict state-funded travel to five more red states, bringing the total to 17. This is partisan politics cloaked in non-discrimination. This action is consistent with this whole new culture of anti-bias and social justice. California Attorney General Rob Bonta made the announcement partly because the red states are “working to prevent transgender women and girls from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity.” It was als...
Fallbrook High is hiring a person to help the school and staff with their unconscious bias. During the last board meeting they gave examples of how it would be good if people thought of the certificated employees the same as the classified employees. They also mentioned the fact that not as many girls are in STEM fields as boys. So those things are admirable, but one thing we know for sure is programs and policies grow and change over time and what implicit or unconscious...
The CDC has called an emergency meeting this week to look into reports of about 500 young people who have received Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines and then experienced myocarditis or pericarditis – two types of heart inflammation. In fact, the CDC VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) database has experienced a huge jump in U.S. deaths related to the vaccines. According to the CDC's own data, in the first three months of 2021, the VAERS website recorded over 1...
In previous pieces in this series, as well as other editorials over the last year, we’ve learned that with Critical Race Theory race is primary, rather than individuality, even though some proponents believe race does not biologically exist (like gender). Race is just a social construct, but how we identify with race is what shapes our lives, and yet “whiteness” equals “racist.” Nevertheless, people are divided and reduced to categories of “Blackness” and “Whiteness....
As we celebrate Memorial Day and honor the memory of all our veterans who have given everything they have for this country, it’s important that we each continue to be diligent to protect our freedoms from within, not only for our children but also for those veterans and their children and grandchildren. In review, as we have been looking at Critical Race Theory (CRT, “Theory,” “Ethnic Studies,” “Woke” or “Identity Politics”) the last couple of weeks, we have learned it is cou...
Last week we focused on the Marxist/neo-Marxist roots of Critical Race Theory (CRT) which are strong, but where neo-Marxism left off, postmodernism took over, making the way for CRT today. Postmodernism has its roots in Marxism and concepts written about by French theorists in the last century, including Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Jean-Francois Lyotard who were Marxist sympathizers. Postmodernism is a hard concept to describe, but it represents a set of ideas and...
Why are parents battling school boards across the country over Critical Race Theory? Why did President Trump ban it from government agencies, only to have President Biden reverse the decision? Biden’s administration is pushing full steam ahead with what many see as divisive and damaging curricula on race in the classroom through a proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Education. The rule’s consequences would be more than academic. It would infuse critical race theory int...
I had the privilege of meeting an amazingly intelligent and interesting man one morning about 20 years ago at Sunrise Cafe in Bonsall (predecessor to Z Cafe). He had lived in Fallbrook only three days. It’s always fun for me to meet someone new to our area and hear their story, so we struck up a conversation. He was originally from India but came to the U.S. to attend MIT and Wharton School of Business and later attended Dartmouth, Columbia and Kellog as well. He was one of t...
While the national news and late night talk shows are making fun of Temecula City Council again, and specifically Jessica Alexander, over a comment she made, I have to say how impressed I am with the council. After a nearly three-hour meeting where they handled a lot of issues as well as public comments, I was pleased with all the councilmembers as they passionately, yet smartly, debated the issues at hand. While Colbert and others mocked, it was a picture of what representati...
Riverside County 5th District Supervisor Jeff Hewitt outlined why he is running for governor today in an op-ed published in several Southern California News Group newspapers. The Libertarian business owner is running to challenge Gov. Gavin Newsom in the upcoming recall election. He says as a Libertarian, not a member of either major party, he has "the ability to accept the best ideas of each side and work for consensus and compromise that benefits the state as a whole." Last...
