Bill Maher and Coleman Hughes finish each other's sentences for 3 minutes straight as they lay out how teachers' unions wrecked public education.

The MS NOW host thought she could sit this one out quietly. Then Maher turned and lobbed a grenade right at her.

MAHER: "The reason why they don't know that socialism didn't work... is because NOBODY taught them in school."

HUGHES: "A lot of kids go to underperforming public schools, which is our euphemism for government-funded daycare centers with occasional school-like activities."

MAHER: "I knew they weren't learning anything, but like you said, it's like a daycare center and not a good one."

HUGHES: "And I think people on the left want to blame funding because that's the easy issue. But the truth is, this school was well funded. You know, it's 50,000 per pupil at this school. The problem isn't the funding. It's that you can't fire anyone bad."

MAHER: "Yes.... The problem is the union, the teachers union, is too powerful. We've seen it in results in states where the union is less powerful, the schools do better."

HUGHES: "I call it the chalkboard mafia."

MAHER: "The problem, the unions protect bad schools and bad teachers, and the party protects the union. It's almost impossible in a lot of these cities to fire a teacher. I mean literally like you could sell drugs to a kid and it's got to be two offenses before we get—"

HUGHES: "It wasn't that long ago that the unions lobbied for a law in New York State to ban even collecting data that you would use to assess which teachers are better than others. You can't even get the data. So obviously the teachers union serves the teachers, they don't serve the students, and if you're a Democrat or any American that's serious about public school reform, you have to challenge the teachers union, period."

MAHER: "And I think in this school, where they were learning nothing with no supervision and absentee principals and teachers, I think spending 50,000 dollars per year per student, it's not money. That's what you always hear from the left. 'Oh, it's underfunded.' It's not the funding. The funding isn't the issue."

HUGHES: "No, it hasn't been for a very long time."

MAHER: "I think this is the kind of thing I will NEVER hear on MS NOW."

ALI VITALI: "I think you hear a lot of perspectives on MS NOW."

MAHER: "I don't ever hear that one."

CONTEXT: Maher and Hughes aren't making this up. On the latest Nation's Report Card, high school seniors posted the lowest reading and math scores ever recorded on the test.

And getting rid of bad teachers is nearly impossible. Federal survey data shows the average school district dismissed just 0.2 tenured teachers for poor performance in a year. That's roughly 1 in 500.

Meanwhile, students do better long-term in states where unions have less power.

A 2019 study in the American Economic Journal found that boys who went to school in states that forced districts to bargain with teachers' unions went on to earn about $2,100 LESS per year as adults compared to boys in states without those laws.

If a business failed this badly, someone would get fired. As Hughes put it: "The teachers union serves the teachers; they don't serve the students."

“The entire system under which we live… pillages and poisons the masses on behalf of industrial cartels connected with the government.”

We just uncovered 1,000 pages of firsthand reports of Covid shot injuries.

“This is banned literature of the ultimate sort.”

Bookmark this.

Jeffrey Tucker declared that it exposes our entire system as “utterly and completely unconscionable.”

“You can’t have documents like this floating out there and not have people touched and motivated for change.”

“We’re Americans.”

“We’re human beings.”

“There is an intuitive sense of right and wrong that has been written on our hearts.”

“If you’re Anthony Fauci, you have to bury it.”

“You have to blot it out.”

“You have to try not to listen to it.”

“That is completely unsustainable so long as we have the information.”

“The rest of us do listen to it.”

“And we’re touched.”

“Knowing is the key.”

“That’s our job, to know and to share.”

“It’s just the beginning.”

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia is pressing the EU to designate the Iran-backed Houthis a terrorist organization.

Six Muslim countries currently designate the Houthis as terrorists, but not the EU.

Let that sink in.

In 2015, a national TV network in Denmark aired something no American network would dare: a full documentary on girls disabled after the HPV vaccine.

A doctor who had seen dozens of them sent the country's health authority warning after warning. When reporters asked for them, every one of them was missing. 🧵

This article needs to be read and heeded far and wide.

Red state GOP organizations are soft. So soft that they are no longer red states.

The Democrats are ruthless and effective in organizing.

We suck at organizing.

It's no longer enough to just have a job, pay your taxes and vote. If you want to save this country you have to GET INVOLVED in party politics at the local level. You need to be relentless, loud, and effective. Get out the vote initiatives need to be paramount. Give your money to effective voter-oriented NGOs that are going to fight in all areas just like the Dems (including on social media).

Be aware, get energized. Get involved. Demand accountability from your local GOP leaders. Organize. Lead. Win.

Conferences are on borrowed time

[Peterson Academy @petersonacademy]

We are extremely pleased to announce the release of Dr. W. Keith Campbell’s course: Social Psychology.

In this course, @wkeithcampbell explores the dynamic interplay between ourselves and others—how we shape one another’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—through foundational topics such as self-concept, person perception, attitudes, persuasion, and social influence.

We investigate conformity, obedience, and compliance, then turn to human relationships, helping behavior, and aggression to understand the forces driving connection and conflict. Drawing on landmark research and key theories, the course also examines group dynamics, leadership, intergroup relations, and the new social challenges posed by emerging technologies.

🚨Texas: “The Muslim community in the United States is becoming one of the most influential, impactful, recognized minority…

We are not limiting ourselves to preserving our Muslim identity. Rather, we participate and positively contribute in changing even the American identity.”

🚨 See the fleabag wearing serial killer spectacles?

He’s one of the leaders of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) in Los Angeles.

The PSL is one of the most dangerous Marxist-Leninist organizations in America.

They receive a majority of their funding from a CCP-linked network.

Our Dept of Education shoved $1.2 BILLION in federal funding into the L.A. school district this year.

In January, the PSL joined forces with other extremist organizations to prey upon that very school district, mobilizing students for mass anti-ICE school walkouts.

Commies hoisted kids onto the backs of trucks, fed them revolutionary scripts, and used them for their own propaganda videos.

Hundreds of kids were groomed for a Maoist-style revolution… and it’s still happening.

Not a word from our Dept of Education.

This ongoing recruitment of minors by revolutionary movements is a national security threat.

Every parent must be made aware of these predators and the extent of their reach into their children’s schools.
