MEGA: Make Education Great Again

Restoring Excellence, Merit, and Free Thought in American Schools


America’s schools and universities were once the envy of the world. As the Carnegie Corporation noted, “For most of the 20th century, the U.S. had the best higher education system in the world.” Students traveled from every continent to study here, producing generations of innovators, scholars, and leaders.

Today, those same institutions have tragically deteriorated into centers of anti-American indoctrination, ideological conformity, and politicized curricula. We intend to reverse this decline.

The Queens Village Republican Club is launching the Academic Freedom Committee to restore freedom of thought, remove political activism from the classroom, and bring back excellence, merit, critical thinking, and intellectual honesty—core American values that built the greatest education system in history. We dedicate this mission to the children of America who are our future.

We want to begin by thanking you….. for the brave and incredible way you put yourself out there, day after day, alongside Nancy, to save our city.

You never stopped showing up, you never stopped telling the truth, and you never stopped doing what was right.

You were more like the Energizer Bunny…… you kept going, and going, while the rest of us needed a nap just watching you.

Every day, you were out in the streets, bringing hope, humor, insight, and a lifetime of knowing this city better than anyone.

At every rally, you moved people,  not with scripts, but with heart.

Videos: Nov. 6th Post-Election Club Meeting


The Queens Village Republican Club meeting on November 6, 2025 was just two days after the disappointing results of the General Election, but it was still proudly billed as a Victory Party. Why? Because what we built together was far greater than any single election outcome. Special guest speakers Professor Nicholas Giordano and Rabbi Sensei Gary Moskowitz both nailed it with their post-election assessments and prescriptions for energizing the party. Read more of the club’s “Post-Election Statement” and see the guest speaker’s videos below. Thank you to our videographer, Jim Doukas and Mike Ferrara: videopronut@gmail.com.
