  • Oberlin (again)

     Good grief, the place is a mess.   In addition to Oberlin making the news (again) for granting tenure to an Iranian professor who apparently covered up Iranian mass executions while he was an ambassador to the UN back in January, one of their alums finally has the attention of the Department of Education, which is now going… Continue reading

  • And now in Ohio

     A girl was taking off a layer of clothes in the girls’ locker room when a man claiming to be a woman walked in and asked to ‘join in’. The girl’s stepdad went to the principal and was told that it would be handled. This being the new K-12, it wasn’t….. So, up the chain… Continue reading

  • Veterans Day / Armistice Day

    Thank you to US Veterans who have served.  You have my deepest gratitude. And in Remembrance on Armistice Day… On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month…. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely… Continue reading

  • Fun Movie Friday-Silverado

     Love this movie.  Many good lines that are totally quotable.  And a very young Kevin Costner.  Plus Kevin Kline, who is one of my favorite actors, ever.  One of the few ‘newer’ Westerns (and this was 1985) that is worth the time to watch. Continue reading

  • Definitely checking doctor's schooling from now on

     And definitely won’t use a doc that went to the Indiana University School of Medicine (you know, the same one that backed up the abortion doc who violated the privacy of a child to get political points). But here’s a new reason: Indiana University School of Medicine has doubled down on its embrace of gender… Continue reading

  • Loudoun County in the news again–the kids are speaking out (and are getting ignored)

     The Loudoun County school board is the poster child for really bad policy.  They allowed a guy in a skirt to rape a girl and get away with it, just transferring him to another school where he did it again.  Their policy about allowing students who ‘identify’ as the opposite sex into the bathroom of… Continue reading

  • In MA they don't even have to pretend to be girls

     Apparently field hockey is not offered as a male sport in Massachusetts.  So males can play without having to grow their hair long or wearing lipstick according to MA law. But to no one’s shock, men playing against women just leads to hurt.  For the women. A young woman got hit in the face so… Continue reading
