Look, pro-homeschooling people are piling on this guy but he's not wrong at all. I know of families who are straight-up failing to teach their children beyond a 2nd-grade education. Like 16-year-old kids who don't know what the Capital of the US is, have never heard of Toronto, and could not perform a basic algebra problem. While it's true that there are many excellent homeschooling families whose instruction far exceeds that of any public school, the fact is that the American system of "school your kids however you want" does also yield a lot of severely stunted kids who get stuck playing "catch-up" for the rest of their lives. My wife was homeschooled, we might homeschool, I'm not averse to the practice per se, but it's a fact that there's a whole world of multi-generational homeschoolers who are not and will not rise above a 2nd or 3rd grade education level by their own volition. Should the state intervene in these cases? I dunno, the answer to the question is not as "easy" as many make it out to be. The idea of barely getting through 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' at the age of 16 should be appalling, and it IS happening in some American homeschooler families.

🚨CAIR Theatrics Alert – Episode 8,684 Terror-tied CAIR + Deer Park Mosque “Hate Crime” Theatrics Just Got Way Too Convenient Ok here we go AGAIN with the CAIR media relations arm in full meltdown mode. News 12 Suffolk is practically calling in the National Guard: “A possible HATE CRIME!” because someone wrote “Islam” under “STOP” on signs in a Deer Park neighborhood… literally steps from the Islamic Center of Deer Park. “Disturbing!” “Disgusting!” “We don’t need this hatred here!” Town cleans it up. It reappears. Cue the instant victimhood press tour. Give me a literal break. Now look at this urgent fundraising flyer the Islamic Center of Deer Park just dropped (see attached below video): They “secured a contract for the property directly in front of the masjid” and are screaming they have until May 15 to raise the money or lose this “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” forever. More parking, dedicated space for sisters, stronger youth programs, expanded Islamic education, “future-ready Masjid for generations”… the whole expansion package. How incredibly convenient. In my opinion, this “STOP Islam” graffiti right next to the center was either: Done by someone inside the community to generate instant sympathy, media hysteria, and open the donation floodgates right as their big land-buying panic hits, or A real incident that CAIR and their local media allies are milking for maximum propaganda value. Either way — this is their favorite tactic: flood the airwaves with over-the-top drama, get the media to treat spray paint like a terrorist attack, cry “hate crime,” and cash in while expanding. We just recently exposed CAIR’s latest scam - 8,683 “Islamophobia” complaints in 2025… ALL self-reported, zero evidence, zero verification, zero police reports required. Pure unsubstantiated propaganda to flip the script and silence scrutiny. They control the narrative. They control the local media. And they’re counting on you to keep falling for it. Not anymore. Demand the evidence. Question the timing. Stop playing their game. Wake up, America.

WORLDWIDE CRACKDOWN ON VPNs BEGINS 🇪🇺 EU Executive Vice President Henna Virkkunen is pushing limits on VPN use, warning new age and ID systems must not be bypassed. Utah becomes the first 🇺🇸 US state to target VPNs under age verification laws starting May 6, 2026. Websites can be held liable even if users mask location, forcing a choice: block VPNs entirely or require ID checks from everyone. The Electronic Frontier Foundation calls it a “liability trap” that could push global platforms toward mass identity verification. Momentum is building globally. 🇬🇧 UK and 🇫🇷 French officials are now signaling VPN restrictions may be next. EU-wide age verification is set to roll out across all 27 member states by the end of 2026. x.com/f_philippot/st…



Virginia Tech's policies (1025, 1026, Student Code 8300) cover off-campus incidents like Greek sexual assaults if they affect campus climate or involve students—VT investigates, disciplines individuals/orgs, and has suspended fraternities/sororities for hazing/conduct violations (e.g., multiple chapters lost recognition 2019-2025 per public hazing reports and WSLS coverage). For the Abdou event (on-campus but unregistered/not sponsored), VT disclaimed official ties without further action. Sources: policies.vt.edu/1025.pdf, 1026.pdf; students.vt.edu hazing reports; baconsrebellion.com coverage. Inconsistency noted in application to student safety vs. extremism.
