Story
Behind a smokescreen of “preparing students for the new industrial economy,” early progressives had political control in mind. America’s original schools didn’t just make kids memorize facts or learn skills; they taught them to think freely and arrive at wisdom. They assigned the classics, inspired love of God and country, and raised future citizens that changed the world forever.

In American Marxism, Mark Levin explained how Marxist ideology has invaded our society and culture. In doing so, he exposed the institutions, scholars, and activists leading the revolution. Now, he picks up where he left off: to hold responsible the true malefactors steering our country down the wrong path. Insightful and hard-hitting as ever, Levin proves that since its establishment, the Democrat Party has set out to rewrite history and destroy the foundation of freedom in America.

Education is in bad shape in America and beyond today. It’s obvious. Everyone perceives it. Something is going badly wrong in our schools. Our children aren’t learning as they should be. Their mastery of core academic curriculum like reading, writing, history, mathematics, science, and civics has declined to crisis levels and shows no signs of improvement. Meanwhile, they’re all learning to be activists, turning their backs on their nations, societies, and even their parents and religions.

-
Story
The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally friendly world, but in reality, this ideology, championed by America’s business and political leaders, robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.

Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Anyone opposed was sent to be “re-educated.” China’s revolution was bloody, fast, and a failure, but what if America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it’s just been slower, calmer, and more effective?

Outstanding Analysis
- By Roman on 07-22-23
Publisher's summary
Rebecca Friedrichs tells real-life stories that expose state and national teachers’ unions as the money and muscle behind the degradation of America’s schools and culture.
In a book that’s both accessible and enlightening, Rebecca Friedrichs recounts her 30-year odyssey as an elementary school teacher who comes face to face with the forces dividing and corrupting our schools and culture - state and national teachers’ unions. An exciting true story that features real-life testimonies of teachers, parents, and kids as well as political and social commentary, Rebecca’s journey leads her to the realization that the only hope for America’s schools and families is returning authority to parents and teachers while lessening the grip of state and national unions that:
- Promote a culture of fear and bully teachers and parents into silence.
- Undermine parents’ authority by sexually, socially, and politically indoctrinating kids.
- Use the apple-pie image of the PTA as a “front” to promote a partisan agenda.
These insights and more led Rebecca and nine other teachers to the US Supreme Court, where their case, Friedrichs v California Teachers Association, et al., sought to restore the First Amendment rights of all teachers and government employees. They argued no one should be forced to pay fees to abusive, politically driven unions and were poised to change the very landscape of American education - until tragedy struck.
Saddened but unbowed, Rebecca started a national movement, For Kids and Country, leading the charge of servant leaders who believe Judeo-Christian values (including kindness) and restoration of the teaching profession - possible only by rejecting state and national unions and forming “local only” associations - are the answers to America’s woes.

Story
American society has become anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are responding. They're dropping out of college, leaving the workforce, and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates. The trend is so pronounced that a number of books have been written about this man-child phenomenon, concluding that men have taken a vacation from responsibility. But why should men participate in a system that seems to be increasingly stacked against them?

Every Parent and Teacher Should Read this Book
Kudos to Ms. Freidrichs for Standing up to Goliath. It took a tremendous amount of courage to write this book. Her goal of allowing teacher's to opt out of union representation is great. But the bigger picture here is the corruption and abuse that takes place in our political system. Democratic controlled state legislatures give unions most everything they want in exchange for union endorsement and financial support of their candidates. It is a rotten system. Collective bargaining should be banned in the public sector. Politics as usual equals more spending equals higher taxes equals taxpayer rebellion and ultimately a collapse in public pensions.

School, it's all about the kids, isn't it?
I can't say enough in gratitude for this courageous teacher. What they put you and your colleagues through is one of the great tragedy's in American history. It makes me angry and if ever god's wrath is nearing it's fullness, you can bet it starts right here. This is inexcusable behavior on the part of those who should know better. May god bless you for your tireless efforts to bring this to light.

Share This Book With Everyone
This is an absolute must read for everyone wondering why America has become so divided and why it is falling apart. It’s understanding of the bullying tactics of unions doesn’t just apply to the teacher’s unions but across all Democrat-lead unions in the nation. If you know someone with little children, buy the hard copy and give it to them to read. It’s important that the stories in this book are shared so everyone can better understand why our school systems are failing and as a result why we’re experiencing so much unrest.

Stop it
As a psych NP who has treated thousands of ADHD kids I find your characterization of treatment highly biased and ill informed. Your self righteous tone does not add credence to your stance. There is a PROFOUND downside to NOT treating truly and accurate diagnosed ADHD. Perhaps your child was simply responding to the stress of a chaotic home life. In my practice, true ADHD kids THRIVE and flourish academically once placed on the right medication. So I take great umbrage with your characterization assuming schools and prescribers simply want to ‘medicate’ squiggly boys into compliance. The FACT is children who can’t pay attention and are unmedicated are MORE likely to: engage in risky behavior (girls more likely to become pregnant), more likely to be involved in car accidents and more likely to engage in substance use in the presence of a parent who refuses to acknowledge there is a PROBLEM. I am a CAUTIOUS prescriber. So when I hear a woman with NO clinical background OR expertise openly giving parents biased advice… imma call you out. Stay in your lane Rebecca. Stick to what you have expertise in. And leave the rest to .., well… experts… btw. Maybe amend your book to include more strategy vs ‘stories’. I don’t care to listen to 100 stories. I want to know how to defeat teachers unions and BOEs. What you have presented thus far is not helpful. But rather self indulgent.
