Public Schools Are Cesspools Of Wokeness And There’s No Bringing Them Back
The DNA within the school systems has been radically altered along with administrators, teachers, and many students.
Teachers’ unions are pushing a radical Marxist-inspired agenda that is destroying public education in America.
Over the past several years, the left has aggressively infected the minds of the youngest children with the tenets of critical race theory (CRT) and gender ideology, while academic excellence has been shoved to the back of the bus. As a result, public schools are hemorrhaging students.
In my home state of Minnesota, 2022 “marks the second consecutive year the state’s public school system has lost thousands of students,” the Center of the American Experiment, a Minnesota think tank, reported in February. Why should parents in Minnesota or any other state keep their children in public schools?
In 2021, the Minnesota Department of Education’s statewide test results showed another drop in the number of students meeting or exceeding grade-level criteria. Overall, reading scores fell 7 percent, math scores dropped 11 percent, and science scores shrank 8 percent.
In another example, New York City public schools — which compose the nation’s largest school district — have already lost about 50,000 students over the past two years and are expected to lose nearly 30,000 more by the time school begins this fall.
Increasing Spending Without Results
Minnesota Education Commissioner Dr. Heather Mueller explained the poor student achievement outcomes thus: “The statewide assessment results confirm what we already knew — that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our students’ learning and they need our help to recover.”
The problem with blaming poor student outcomes in Minnesota on Covid is that the state’s public schools actually had “little to show for decades of increased spending,” wrote Catrin Wigfall of the Center of the American Experiment in a July 2020 report titled “Allergic to Accountability.”
“The consistently increased flow of dollars into Minnesota’s public schools has not translated into improved student achievement outcomes or more learning,” Wigfall wrote.
Goal of Even More Woke Teachers
For insight, look to what the Minnesota Department of Education now values in professional teacher training when it comes to hiring licensed teachers.
In 2021, Minnesota’s professional educator licensing and standards board proposed an addition to what proficiency standards for teachers to be licensed. Proposed requirements include:
- Helping students develop social identities based upon their social grouping.
- Understanding “systemic trauma,” including racism and micro and macro aggression.
- Fully affirming and incorporating identity politics into the school including race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, economic status, and ethnicity.
- Connecting students with local and global political activists.
- Understanding that Minnesota’s laws were created to oppress by race, class, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

Air Force Grounding Majority of F-35 Fleet
The grounding is due to defects in some cartridge-actuated devices, which propel a pilot out of a plane in an emergency, according to Breaking Defense. The defects, identified by the company, are in Martin-Baker ejection seats.
Air Combat Command spokeswoman Alexi Worley confirmed the temporary grounding of its F-35s, a hyper-advanced fighter.
According to Air Force Times, Air Combat Command owns most of the 300 F-35As flown by the Air Force.
“ACC’s F-35s do have Martin-Baker ejection seats, and on July 19, began a Time Compliance Technical Directive to inspect all of the cartridges on the ejection seat within 90 days,” Worley stated, according to Breaking Defense.
“Out of an abundance of caution, ACC units will execute a stand-down on July 29 to expedite the inspection process. Based on data gathered from those inspections, ACC will make a determination to resume operations.”
Air Education and Training Command halted F-35 operations on Friday “to allow our logistics team to further analyze the issue and expedite the inspection process,” AETC spokeswoman Capt. Lauren Woods said.
The AETC oversees F-35 training squadrons at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona and Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.
The Air Force also has grounded its T-38 Talon and T-6 Texan II training aircraft because of the glitch, according to Air Force Times.
About 300 aircraft will be on the ground until they can have a new part installed.
Air Force Times reported that the Navy and Marine Corps have grounded their F-35B and F-35C jets.
The Times reported that all planes will be inspected before their next flight.
Other aircraft in other branches of the service also are impacted.
“The Navy recently discovered an issue affecting...
Air Force includes ‘family-friendly’ drag show in woke ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Summer Festival’
The show will feature a series of performances and speeches, including a poem on “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.”
The drag show will be put on by U.S. Navy sailor Joshua Kelley, who performs under the name Harpy Daniels. He ostensibly joined the Navy in 2016 to help fund his drag show activities, according to the Navy Times in 2018.
“Doing drag allows me to embrace my feminine side and allows me to bring my diversity and creativity out. When I put on a face, it’s a face of art and creativity, not just a face of make-up. To hear people cheer, laugh or cry, or even join in with you during a performance is an absolute thrill,” he claimed.

The festival was promoted by the JBLE Breaking Barriers Alliance, which is a committee that is made up of volunteer service members under the base’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Top base official, Colonel Gregory Beaulieu, who is the installation commander, signed off on the event and approved the use of military resources, a JBLE spokesman told The Daily Wire.
Not only is the military promoting the festival as a family-friendly event, but they are also including “bouncy houses and face painting for the children,” to draw little ones into the perverse gathering. The theme of the event is “Celebrating Differences” and will have performances by several...
