My scary classroom social experiment demonstrating how tyrannies arise from democracies:

I gave a bunch of extra credit tickets to the first few students to arrive in class, then everyone else received 1-2 tickets.

The kids that came into class last were outraged by the “injustice” of those that came first getting a greater reward.

There were no rules or directions for this day in class. I just told them I’d act as an enforcer of whatever they decided to do in the 47 minutes.

The girl circled in red- Emily- was a genius.

She used her charisma and charm to court the majority of her peers that had less coupons, and played off their resentment of the minority that had earned more tickets for arriving to class early.

In the allotted time she convinced her peers that if they voted to give her absolute power, she would confiscate the 40+ coupons held by the minority and distribute them equally.

The minority of students were frustrated, but powerless against the majority vote.

Emily was elected to a “supreme ruler” position, and as promised she confiscated all of the tickets from the minority of students that arrived to class first.

That’s when things got interesting.

She kept the vast majority of tickets for herself, and distributed a few to some of her friends.

It was a microcosm of what has happened historically time and time again, and the danger our republic faces.

I asked the students to write a reflection on how they now viewed unrestrained majority-rules democracy, and their opinions has definitely changed from the day prior.

“There are no bad kids.”

I heard it throughout my teaching career, often to thunderous applause from teachers who privately feared some of their own students.

My latest piece is about that encounter and a question schools refuse to confront: How many children are we willing to sacrifice trying to “save” one?

Some Kids Are Bad. Out now on Chalkboard Heresy.

@SenWarren Is that a bison burger?! It's not bad enough your tribe overhunted the Great Plains buffalo, now you rub our faces in it?

[Frank McCormick @CBHeresy]

@JeremyDBoreing Watch Candace show up tomorrow and spend all day trying to pull that out to get back at you.

As a Massachusetts restaurant owner, I want to thank Senator Warren for taking the time to sit down and smokem peace pipe with me and bury the hatchet over our differences. While we didn’t agree on everything, I count any meeting with Senator Warren where I don’t send her away with a smallpox blanket as a big win for compromise.

Roses are red,
Bananas and rice,
The prince spotted Ilhan,
“I’m getting ICE!”

[Frank McCormick @CBHeresy]

We’re releasing a celebratory edition just for you, Ilhan.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

One week until Election Day. America deserves better than the pedophile protection party.

Knock doors. Make calls. Get your friends to vote.

Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot and finally make Trump release the Epstein files.

[Maud Maron @MaudMaron]

Most political shows exist to make you angry. Not this one.
My new podcast, THE CENTER CAN HOLD is conversations for people who agree some of the time, all of the time, and none of the time, but still know how to talk to each other.

Episode 1 "Maud was Right" with Daniela Jampel drops later this week. @daniela__127

@sirejngod Poverty didn't make her act like this. She's poor because she acts like this.

Affluent Blacks are affluent because they don't act like this.

Why does this keep happening on college campuses?

[Frank McCormick @CBHeresy]

No one disputes how much fun you’ve had attacking Erika Kirk. Hope you are enjoying your money.

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

Literally zero “quality checks”, you weirdo and since ADVISE is indeed a word, spellcheck would not have captured it. We have a team of just 6 working on my entire podcast and they absolutely crush it—so much so that when the first “thumbnail typo” occurs in two years, it’s considered breaking news.
We don’t hire more bodies to feed my ego. We have fun, we work hard, we make mistakes and we have one of the biggest podcasts in the world that we do live everyday.
The public senses and enjoys how normal and happy we are and we also enjoy mocking how seriously you all must take yourselves to believe that something this minor matters to the public.

Now go watch the video and make sure I didn’t mispronounce a word or something crazy!

[Frank McCormick @CBHeresy]

@RealCandaceO You just made my point. This was all about generating fake controversy to plug the episode- which you did masterfully (credit where it’s due).

No one believes in the age of AI and with an audience of your size that you let a foreigner handle this with zero quality checks.

[Frank McCormick @CBHeresy]

She is a narcissist doing this for attention. She has staff that handles this and no one accidentally mispells both the graphic and YouTube title.

This is all to get people talking about her so that when she attacks Erika Kirk again, more people are watching. Vile.

[Frank McCormick @CBHeresy]

@megbasham They do this when we turn 40 😭

Great day for Muslim men. Seeing Ilhan Omar’s hair is basically like us seeing Sydney Sweeney topless.
