Well, it seems that nobody is particularly impressed by the actions taken by the leftist thugs who broke up the appearance on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus of Tom Tancredo the other night. Quelle suprise. You can get the facts about the event here, here or here.
What this post is about it the sudden realisation by […]
Well, it’s started. In this article in the Daily Mail Online, we get a glimpse of the battle that’s going to finally wake the idiot liberal up and put the fear of God into them, whether they believe in Him or not. At the George Tomlinson School in Waltham Forest, East London, a week of […]
This article is the finest evidence I’ve ever seen supporting the idea that collectivism is the political expression of the rule of mediocrity. Exceptionalism doesn’t fit into the scheme of collectivism with it’s focus on the the masses. The story is about how the British state run schools are mounting opposition to programmes to provide […]
A Spanish University has published a ground-breaking study that contends that football (soccer to those in America) doesn’t change over time. This is the result of ten years of research. According to them:
…football has changed so little during recent World Cups that, if shown action from matches, we would be incapable today of differentiating between […]
Yesterday, I posted a link to a story about how some British gaolers think it’s too negative and punitive to call those who are imprisoned ‘inmates’. They feel that inmate is too harsh a term, and might damage the self-esteem of the poor felon. Somehow, I doubt that a person who has committed a violent […]
In an article in the Telegraph today, a proposal put forth by former government officer to improve British schools made it’s first, and let’s hope last, appearance.

I picked up this story via Drudge today. It shows the absolute insanity of those who substitute political correctness for actual thought. The story is about a fourth-grade boy who was suspended because he used the blade from a broken plastic pencil sharpener to sharpen a pencil in school. You can read it here.
The money […]
Sometimes you run into real-life situations that are so deliciously bizarre they surpass anything you could think up. This is one of those.
To give you a little background, creationism is roundly looked down upon in the UK, much more so than in the US. In part that’s due to Britain being like most […]
College - that place that you go after high school to learn critical thinking and analysis skills, and where you go to gain advanced knowledge of a particular discipline in order to pursue a career in that field.
Well, that’s how it’s supposed to work. Sadly, in modern America, it doesn’t. Couple the fact […]
In a recent article carried by Yahoo!, I found confirmation that what I’ve said before about our educational system is correct. The CEO of AT&T has come out and said the unsayable truth – our schools have failed one of their major “customers”. The schools, while worried about No Child Left Behind and […]
