Education Battles Get National Attention

 Two important education cases are set to be decided by the U. S. Supreme Court, focusing on parental rights, religious freedom, and the content of school curricula.

1. Montgomery County Case (Mahmoud v. Taylor):

• A group of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim parents is challenging Montgomery County Public Schools for not allowing them to opt their children out of LGBTQ-themed lessons.

• These lessons include over 22 LGBTQ+ books approved by the school board, featuring content about pride parades and gender transitioning aimed at young children.

• Parents argue that this violates their First Amendment rights to religious freedom.

2. School District's Defense:

• Montgomery County argues that attending public schools means families are not coerced by exposure to ideas they find objectionable.

• They claim allowing parents to opt-out would set a precedent that could disrupt the entire curriculum, including history and science.

3. Support for the Parents' Argument:

• Professor Melissa Moschella emphasizes that objections to these lessons can come from non-religious parents as well.

• Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Brett Kavanaugh express concerns about the appropriateness of the material for young children.

4. Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Case (Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond):

• This case examines whether St. Isidore of Seville Virtual Charter School can operate in Oklahoma as it acknowledges its intent to evangelize.

• Critics argue that a religious charter school could jeopardize public education, while supporters highlight that charter schools operate privately and should be treated equally to secular groups.

5. Historical Context of Religious Education:

• The discussion recognizes that U. S. schools have historical roots in religious education, shifting from Protestant values to a more secular education system.

• Today, some argue that public schools promote leftist ideologies, which can also be seen as a form of indoctrination.

6. Potential Impact of the Rulings:

• These Supreme Court decisions could significantly affect parental rights in education and the content children are exposed to in schools.

• A system of universal school choice, allowing parents to direct educational funding, is suggested as a solution to these conflicts.

As the Supreme Court prepares to rule on these two significant cases, the outcomes may enhance parental rights in education and prompt a reevaluation of curricular content in public schools. Both cases highlight the ongoing debates surrounding education, religious freedom, and what children are taught in schools, with the potential for profound implications for parents and students nationwide.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
