You're allowed to notice the op now, guys. Let's go.

NAVI’s Chief Strategy Officer @weinotjosh talks the “Hostile Classroom” report and why an operating worldview, and those in power who hold it and disperse it throughout K-12, is what needs to be addressed before we can even hope to bring phonics back into America’s classrooms and combat anti-Americanism and antisemitism. - download the paper at navivalues.org/hostileclassro…

My friend who is a public figure sent me this today. This is what they have been doing for years. Sliding into DMs to pressurise people of note to unfollow us while smearing us. It’s sick. This is the left. They have broken their own movements.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation is encouraging students in webinars to risk suspension and arrest to walkout in opposition to ICE, and telling them their parents support t@rr@ri$t$ m**rdering people.

Has to be a mistake! Bring her back! @X @clairlemon

He does not have the power to arrest Netanyahu, and it's weird and dangerous that he even thinks it might be possible. I don't know exactly what "a city of international law" means. He's obligated to follow American law.

Outside Park East SYNAGOGUE. “There is only one solution: intifada revolution” & “we don’t want no two states, we want all of it.” Jews and other Zionists are chanting “am Yisrael chai.” The people of Israel live. Ratio of pro-Israel to pro-Hamas = 1:1 to 2:1. 🙏 @NYPDnews

Listen to her words.

One reason, I suspect, that younger people are cynical about democracy and open to "socialism" is that they did not grow up with the USSR, Mao, & Pol Pot & don't learn about them in school. "Totalitarian Studies are Sorely Needed" open.substack.com/pub/michaelwad…

Both K-12 traditionalists and reformers should grapple with this data: the main "improvement strategy" has been to increase per pupil spending. You can examine the top of the chart to see how that worked out/1

@DavidLBernstein brilliantly breaks down why legacy Jewish organizations haven't been able to respond effectively to post October 7th climate - and what needs to be done. An important read for those who care about Jewish life in the US.jewishjournal.com/commentary/opi…

In Loudoun County, a group of male students was filmed, in the male locker room, by a female student who IDs a boy. Now *they* are being investigated for Title IX violations. Sorta defies comprehension. wjla.com/news/local/lou…

“Without a doubt, the Department of Education has been part of politicizing the classroom,” @DavidLBernstein told Jewish Insider. At the same time, he argued that there could be issues with turning the funds over to states. More from @HaleyCohen19: ji.news/4bSr126

🧵 1/8: You may have heard the term “White Supremacy Culture” online and in debates in recent years. Of course racism and the consequences of historic injustices are worthy of examination. But the framework known as White Supremacy Culture only creates further division and damage. It’s time for a deeper dive. #Education #CriticalTheory

Important op-ed by @76brandy76 of @NAVIvalues in @thehill : "McMahon can expose the extreme agendas in today’s education schools, putting university presidents on notice that this radicalized approach to educating teachers must stop." thehill.com/opinion/517912…

I understand being mad at DOGE for bashing higher ed with a hammer — I am — but I do not understand academics who are not *also* furious at the inept higher ed “leaders” who torched our credibility, landed us a disapproval rating only rivaled by Congress, and put us in this spot.

NEW: Louis Galarowicz (@nasorg) and I have acquired a trove of records from University of Colorado, Boulder, that show how the entire university coordinated to advance a system of brazen race-based hiring. The receipts are pretty astonishing... 🧵

🚨NEW BOOK ALERT🚨 The Summer of 2020 shocked me. For going on five years now, I have felt the need to understand how and why the combination of a live-streamed global pandemic, an unprecedented mass response to the wrenching, videotaped death of a single man in Minneapolis (also global in scope), and the punishing reelection campaign of a singularly deranging president somehow weaved together to affect what seemed like every aspect of our collective lives. A deceptively simple quote from Camus has stayed with me: "I have seen people behave badly with great morality." From one day to the next in May of 2020, our media, cultural, political, academic and elite corporate institutions were in lockstep thrall to what seemed like a genuine cult of what was in theory "antiracism" and "social justice" but in practice felt more like the polar opposites of both. (Societies throughout the Westernized world, with completely different histories and values, then attempted to mimic this American example.) We are still reeling from the furious and terribly illiberal backlash this has sparked. So in the spring of 2021 I set out to write a book that would make sense of the complicated and often paradoxical mix of ideas and events that culminated in that season of upheaval, as well as the ongoing impact they––and the reaction to them––continue to produce, right up through the tent encampments on college campuses in 2024. I felt the need to bear witness to what we've all been living through, so much of which is still being memory-holed right now. The resulting book, SUMMER OF OUR DISCONTENT: THE AGE OF CERTAINTY AND THE DEMISE OF DISCOURSE will be published by @AAKnopf on August 5, 2025. I'm thrilled to share the cover with you now. Whatever your politics, I hope you will find these arguments both engaging and provocative (in the best, most productive way). And if you are able to do it, it makes an enormous difference to an author when you pre-order a book to help ensure its strong release🙏🏽. SUMMER OF OUR DISCONTENT is now available for pre-order wherever books are sold (there will be an audio version as well): penguinrandomhouse.com/books/704632/s…
