How I’m protecting your daughter from my son:

1. He will grow up knowing he is a biological male and that’s that. He won't be competing in your daughter's sports.

2. He will be taught that women are children of God just as he is, and he will honor them that way.

3. He will be shown at home and in public how to communicate with a woman. It starts by listening from a place of respect and politeness.

4. He'll know that no means no the first time, not the third.

5. He will know how to protect himself and others through self defense, primarily through Ninjutsu from his grandfather who has been teaching for nearly 40 years. He'll know how to defend, not how to pick fights.

6. He will be shown how a man provides for his wife and children through his character before his paycheck.

7. He'll be raised around a marriage where his mother is respected, so he knows what the standard looks like.

8. He'll know how to hold his own emotions, so your daughter is never made responsible for them.

9. He'll be shown what it looks like when a man is wrong and says so out loud.

10. He'll know that his word is the only thing he has that can't be replaced.

My story about pulling our son out of NC public schools to homeschool him reached far more people than I expected.

So I owe you the full explanation. Fair warning: it's worse than you think.

1) My son was in a class with many kids that could not speak the English language.

Zero English. None. Not a word.

You might be asking yourself... well, how did lessons occur in the classroom?

I'm glad you asked.

In fact, the way the teachers communicated with the Spanish-speaking only students was by using their personal iPhones as translators, speaking instructions into the iPhones, and the iPhones spitting out the Spanish instructions to the Spanish-speaking students, and then the Spanish-speaking students speaking Spanish into the iPhones, and the English questions/answers coming are read out for the teacher.

If you're exhausted just reading that...good. Now hold that feeling.

Imagine you’re an English-speaking student sitting in that same classroom, like my 5 year old son was.

Every lesson is interrupted while translations happen and naturally, the teacher’s attention is constantly divided.

The pace of learning slows DRAMATICALLY for everyone else.

The consequence is that the classroom stops being optimized for the students who can already understand the instruction and instead becomes an exercise in overcoming a language barrier that never should have existed inside an American, English-language classroom in the first place.

A place built to teach kids who are ready to learn quietly becomes a place mostly occupied with bridging a gap in language.

I don't think my five-year-old should spend one irretrievable year of his early schooling waiting at that bridge.

2) I saw the writing on the wall for the future of my county's school system and realized that not only was the future incredibly bleak, but downright aggressively woke in a way words fail to describe.

For multiple months, our school system allowed kids to:

a) Create Anti-ICE protest signs inside of the schools
b) Exit the school grounds, often WITHOUT SUPERVISION by ANYONE
c) Stand along busy highways and scream "FUCK ICE" for a few hours

Most shockingly, it was clearly encouraged by the schools, by leadership, and by many of the teachers.

That was political activism.

It gets worse... for years Buncombe County has forced biological girls to deal with biological males (who call themselves trans) to enter into girls locker rooms and bathrooms.

This has been happening for years and no one dared to try to change or speak up until very very recently... that should tell you a lot about what the school leadership believes and their political bent.

There is an evil lie that I see being spread by many that have condemned our decision to homeschool.

That lie is this:

“Public schools are neutral. By homeschooling, you’re only exposing your child to one side.”

This is a grossly evil lie.

In fact, the opposite is happening.

Schools are not neutral institutions simply because they are publicly funded; every school day has a limited number of hours, and every lesson taught means another lesson isn’t.

There is a finite amount of time in school, everyone understands this, which means priorities matter.

Every hour spent discussing political activism is an hour that isn’t spent on reading, writing, mathematics, science, history, or civics.

So when schools increasingly prioritize activism, identity politics, or current political causes... something else inevitably gets pushed aside.

Guess what? That’s not neutrality, that’s a choice.

What so many parents continue to discover is that their child comes home with a head full of ideas about the world that are purely one-sided because that's all there was time for.

Nuance is lost because nuance is time-consuming.

Is there TIME for nuance when half the class cannot speak English and you're speaking into a translator?

Of course not.

A child who can chant but cannot argue the other side hasn't been educated, they've been conditioned and the conditioners always, ALWAYS believe they're doing the child a kindness.

3) I'm fairly confident that today's school system is not designed for boys at all, it's purely designed for girls.

I'll give an example.

One of the schools in my area noticed that boys were throwing pine-cones (calling them grenades) and playing with sticks (calling them guns and swords).

This made the girls in the class uncomfortable.

So the school banned the boys from playing with sticks or pinecones outside, saying that the boys were playing "violent games" and should stop.

One group's nature (the girls) became the rule.

The other group's nature (the boys) became an problem... and once you see it, you see it everywhere.

Classrooms rewards staying still, staying quiet, non-aggression, obedience.

So ask yourself honestly... if you designed an institution that graded children partly on their ability to sit motionless for six hours, who would you expect to win?

Girls, of course.

Boys "get into trouble" FAR more often than girls, and the "offenses" are things like being too aggressive, not staying in line, fidgeting, or being "defiant" for staying buried in a book instead of the worksheet.

The punishment schools reach for first is often to take AWAY recess, which is literally the physical release every study says he needs, as the penalty for needing it!

At my table, he can stand up when he needs to move. He can go deep on the thing that lights him up instead of being dragged off it. He can build his imaginary armies.

He can be exactly the boy he is and have that be an ASSET instead of someone saying that's a problem.

4) No teacher, no matter how gifted, no matter how well-meaning, walks into that classroom knowing my son the way we know him, and no one ever will.

The single most important qualification for teaching a child isn't a degree or a curriculum or a district budget..

...it's just how much do you actually care whether this SPECIFIC kid makes it?

How far would you go for him?
How late would you stay for him?
How many times would you explain it again and again?
How completely would you refuse to give up on him?

And on that measure, the whole world loses to his mother (who will be homeschooling him), it's not even close.

Nobody on earth will ever love him more than she does.

Nobody will study him, root for him, ache for him, and delight in him the way she does every ordinary day.

There has never been anyone on this earth more qualified to raise my son than the woman whose love for him knows no depths and has no end.

Hope that helps clarify a few things.

@mattvanswol @HistoryBoutique I run an online youth program for training the brain with how to think not what to think. Attention, state and identity skillsets. Left vs right hemisphere thinking drills. It’s for ages 10+ when your son gets to that age.

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

Homeschooling requires sacrifice.

Sending your kids to government run schools does too.

It’s just a question of what you prefer to sacrifice.

The only way a relationship lasts is when we treat it as a place we go to give, not to get.

It changes how we show up. We put our partner's needs ahead of our own. We stop keeping score. We make it our job to light them up, and lighting them up lights us up even more. ❤️

Fear of life is really the fear of emotions. It is not the facts that we fear but our feelings about them.

Everything is a choice.

Even the songs you’re playing in your head of

“I can’t do anything right.”
“It’s not fair.”
“This always happens to me.”

It’s from the album Victim Mentality.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Correct. And when Pfizer data showed that natural immunity from a prior infection was as good or better than the shot, CDC and FDA covered that up too, so they could get more people to take the shot, exposing even more people to needless risk of serious side effects.

[Michael Mahoney @themahoney]

Not surprised, keep exposing these psychopaths.

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

[Michael Mahoney @themahoney]

@RandPaul Hasn’t the time to prosecute him passed? Legit question? I want this guy nailed but haven’t you missed the window?

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

A CIA whistleblower testified under oath that Biden's intel community buried the lab leak conclusion. Not once, but multiple times between 2021 and 2023. That’s the very definition of a cover-up.

https://t.co/7kdDe53wWV

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.

He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.

RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.

[Michael Mahoney @themahoney]

@RandPaul I sincerely hope you are a man of your word and follow through. Enough talk from our politicians. Do what you say you’re going to do.

@mattvanswol Do what you want in the privacy of your own home, or whatever club you want. Once it’s in children’s books, the people distributing it are the true perpetrators.

Your past trauma is information. You get in trouble when you turn it into a lifestyle.

You can stay there. No one would blame you.

Except your higher self.
