Push For Indigenous Curriculum Makes GainsIn South Dakota, a group of teachers and citizens charged with crafting new state social studies standards said last month that Gov. Kristi Noem’s administration deleted from their draft recommendations many elements intended to bolster students’ understanding of Native American history and culture. They said changes made to the draft gave it a political edge they had tried to avoid, aligning it instead with the Republican governor’s rhetoric on what she calls patriotic education.

The California recall election: what did I tell you?I warned last Monday that yesterday's California gubernatorial recall election would probably not be free or fair. Considering the lopsided result in Governor Newsom's favor in the light of opinion polls across the political spectrum over recent months that showed him in deep disfavor, I'd say my forecast was spot on. Nobody in his right mind can believe that so dramatic a "swing" in voter sentiment was real. There were those who thought I was nuts to expect electoral fraud on that scale, as comments to that previous article showed. There are a lot of people out there who se... read more

U.S. Army History Of Iraq War Vol 1 - Chapter 18 – Defeated By Democracy, Winter 2005-2006The end of 2005 brought continued failure for the U.S. effort in Iraq which the American military was ironically completely unaware of. The commanding General George Casey actually thought his strategy was working and the U.S. could start withdrawing its troops soon. He couldn’t have been more wrong. The country was moving towards civil war as shown by not only violence, but the elections and constitutional drafting process. The U.S. was also ignoring Iran’s interference and England’s failure in Basra. It would take another year for the Americans to realize that things had gone tra... read more

Mean girls--today and 68 years agoI just watched a Fox News story on the damage social media is doing to young teen girls and their body images. I used to be a young teen girl who hung out with other teens, caring about every word and piece of gossip. We didn't have social media like Instagram or TikTok (the focus of this story). We didn't have personal phones (most of us were on a party line). We didn't have organized sports (against the law in those days). If we took a photo it was on film and it was 2 weeks to get it developed. We all went to church and almost no one had divorced parents. But we still found all t... read more
