Matt Agorist: What Do You Say To Your Children When They See A Video of A Police Officer Killing Someone?
Explaining the nature of the state. The video of Walter Scott being shot in the back by North Charleston Police Officer Michael Slager was plastered across television screens worldwide. It showed a public servant gunning down a man in cold blood. It was a paradigm-shattering moment for people across the US, especially for America’s youth. ... MOREWalter E Williams: The True Black Tragedy
Keeping blacks on the liberal plantation. Hustlers and people with little understanding want us to believe that today's black problems are the continuing result of a legacy of slavery, poverty and racial discrimination. The fact is that most of the social pathology seen in poor black neighborhoods is entirely new in black history. Let's look ... MOREJeremy Egerer: Should Women Be Allowed To Drink?
A sobering thought. In an age of social liberalism, you can expect to see many things become legal. One thing that hasn't become legal and that almost nobody has considered legalizing is childhood drinking. And the reason nobody has really suggested it is because each and every one of us knows that children are idiots. You never really know what ... MOREMichael Snyder: Police Abduct 10 Children From A Family In Kentucky Because Of Their ‘Off The Grid’ Lifestyle
More evidence the government is not us. If the government does not like the way that you are raising your kids, they will come in and grab them at any time without giving any warning whatsoever. Of course this is completely and totally unlawful, but it has been
happening all over America. The most recent example of this that has
made ... MOREBaltimore’s Missing Fathers

MOREDonald Bradley: After State Takes Her Child, A Kansas Woman Is At The Center Of National Marijuana Debate
Treat your disease or raise your child. You can't do both. Shona Banda says she had a clear choice: Live in misery or use medical marijuana to ease her Crohn’s disease and risk going to jail. Turned out to be an easy call for the Garden City, Kan., woman. She said her symptoms eased to the point where she could return to work and once again play with ... MORENSA Spreads Its Message By Producing Coloring Books
Conditioning kids to the police state. By the time I found the National Security Agency booth on the expo
floor at last week’s RSA Conference, all the best shwag was gone. The
most prized giveaway was a faux-leather Post-it Note kit bearing the
agency’s seal. “We can’t print enough of those,” the agency rep manning the booth
told me. ... MORECommon Core Resistance Gains Steam In New York
When the state won't act, individuals must. The resistance to one-size-fits-all education is gaining steam. This is evidenced by the latest display of power from concerned parents who are saying no to the Common Core State Standards while the New York legislature fails to do so. An excess of 175,000 parents in the state of New York alone ... MORE'Free-Range' Parents Will Sue CPS For Grabbing Their Kids
by Lenore Skenazy. Taking the busybodies who mind your business to court. The Meitivs are lawyering up, and will file some kind of lawsuit against Montgomery County, Maryland, officials who took their children while the youngsters were walking outside by themselves. Matthew Dowd, a partner at Wiley Rein LLP, will represent the Meitivs free of ... MOREBeing A Good Mom Puts Her At Odds With Her Government
by John Pendygraft. Mom of epileptic son caught in Charlotte's Web medical marijuana bureaucracy. Just as 13-year-old Branden Petro flops into the passenger seat of

Petro, 36, jumps ... MOREStudents Are Now Literally 'Hiding from Scary Ideas,' Or Why My Mom's Nursery School Is Edgier Than College
by Robby Soave. My mother is a nursery school teacher. Her classroom is a place for children between one and two years of age—adorable little tykes who are learning how to crawl, how to walk, and eventually, how to talk. Coloring materials, Play-Doh, playful tunes, bubbles, and nap time are a few of the components of her room: a veritable "safe space" ... MOREZero Tolerance For Common Sense: Kid Was Expelled And Charged For Bringing Pot To School, Even Though He Didn't
by Robby Soave. Administrators at a middle school in central Virginia suspended a sixth-grader last September for one-year after discovering a marijuana leaf and a lighter in his backpack. The sheriff's department became involved as well and filed drug possession charges against the 11-year-old boy. Months later, prosecutors had to drop the ... MOREJohn Horvat II: Why Johnny Can't Sled Anymore
All must be safe and sterile. In the midst of this cold winter, I chanced to come upon a scene that gladdened my heart. It was a group of unsupervised boys sledding down a hillside. They weren’t only sledding. They were ramming into other sleds. At the bottom of the hill, they pushed each other down, rolling and tumbling in the snow. ... MOREThomas Sowell: Measles, Vaccines And Autism
Vaccines don't cause autism. The current controversy over whether parents should be forced to have their children vaccinated for measles is one of the painful signs of our times. Measles was virtually wiped out in the United States, years ago. Why the resurgence of this disease now? The short answer is that false claims, based on other false claims, ... MORE
Keep Vaccine Choice—So Long as Families Pay Their Way
by J.D. Tuccille. A friend of mine who worked in pediatric private practice in the Washington, D.C. suburbs had a strict policy on vaccination: If you didn't vaccinate your children, you had to find another practice. He would try to persuade, he would give several warnings, but ultimately, those who didn't vaccinate had to find another provider. ... MORE
Andrew Napolitano: To Vaccinate or Not To Vaccinate?
Does the government own our bodies? New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie unwittingly ignited a firestorm earlier this week when he responded to a reporter's question in Great Britain about forced vaccinations of children in New Jersey by suggesting that the law in the U.S. needs to balance the rights of parents against the ...
