NY prep school students sent to “porn literacy” training

Imagine you’re a parent paying nearly $50K per year (per child) to send your children to an elite college-prep high school. What is your response when you find out that the curriculum has been expanded to include a lecture offering literacy in the subject of pornography? That’s what happened to a number of families at the elite Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in Manhattan this month. When the students were scheduled to attend a health and sexuality workshop, most didn’t think much of it. Health class always covers topics including reproduction, birth control and all the rest. But when the kids showed up, they learned it was a “pornography literacy” course with the subtitle “An intersectional focus on mainstream porn.” Needless to say, things went downhill from there. And consider this your “questionable content warning” if you click on that link.

No Race Has Ever Done More for Another Race than White Americans Have Done for Black Americans

In the last twelve months, we have been ceaselessly bombarded by claims that America is a racist society in which Black people are oppressed by White people.

This is a truly astonishing claim because nothing could be further from the truth.

What Would a ‘Proportionate’ Israeli Response to Hamas Attacks Really Look Like?

Critics of Israel should think carefully about what they’re asking for.

After the latest round of Hamas missile attacks on Israel began two weeks ago, the media, numerous world leaders, and even a surprising number of American politicians quickly agreed that Israel should not exercise its military superiority in an unfair way.

Since the world appears united in its opposition to Israel’s “disproportionate” retaliation, I suggest it goes along with the demands. But the world should beware — if Jerusalem really fought proportionately, life in Gaza would be far worse than it is.

And now, for something completely different

Since it’s been a crappy day, I’ve decided to let you in on something… there’s a new button on the menu bar. The page isn’t finished and probably never will be, but here it is: Pulse

This is a news aggregator, but categorized, using thousands (yes really, thousands) of carefully selected sources rather than the handful most aggregators use, plus the updating is in near real time, and – the best part – articles are filtered so only the pertinent ones are displayed, meaning you’ll get the latest interesting news in a fast and easy to read format. Additionally, you can scroll back in time through categorized events – something no other news aggregator offers.

The top three categories (Breaking News, Breaking Jihad, and Breaking Weather) will be fast moving when there’s an event and you’ll want to refresh often to keep up with the latest updates.

Of course, if you have any comments or ideas, please feel free to let us know. Thank you all for reading and being so kind.

The Palestinian Voices Blinken Won’t Hear

On the eve of his first official visit to the Middle East, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed support for a two-state solution as the only way to provide hope to Israelis and Palestinians that they can live “with equal measures of security, of peace, and dignity.”

During his visit to Israel and the West Bank, Blinken is expected to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who has been urging the Biden administration to work toward “achieving a just and lasting peace that would ensure the Palestinian people’s right to freedom and independence” and the establishment of a Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital.

Support for Black Lives Matter Has Absolutely Plummeted Since Last Summer’s Riots

Now, you may find this hard to believe but after BLM started rioting all across the United States, their approval rating dropped. Imagine that. For some reason, obviously racism, is really responsible for the sudden drop in approval. But, it is also a sure bet that something happened to cause such a steep drop in popularity. But you lose conservatives and independents by rioting and all you have left are Democrats.
