No Choice but School Choice

The Civil Rights Issue of Our Time


By Elena Chin

“Public education is a house on fire and parents need to get their children out Now!” – Alex Newman (Author and journalist)

Deceptive marketing, and the false claim of an urgent need to protect abortion rights in New York State, proved effective for proponents of Proposal 1. Despite valiant bipartisan efforts to defeat it, almost 62% of New Yorkers voted in favor of the Democrat-driven amendment.

The ramifications of passing Prop 1 will further outrage parents already outraged by mask mandates, school closures, drag queen story hours, gender ideology, and critical race theory curriculum being taught to their children.  Well-intentioned New Yorkers, blindsided into voting in favor of the amendment, will be rudely awakened as they begin to experience the real-life consequences of the amended law.


All Aboard the Trump Train!!!


By Laura Schmitt

A Trump tsunami swept the electoral college, popular vote, House, and Senate to shore for a Republican landslide!  The left-wing resistance needs to take heed that this is a Trump agenda mandate from the American people. One out of every three people of color voted for Trump. Nearly every community moved red to lean into the MAGA agenda.

Out of touch in an echo chamber of their own making, left-wing pundits ignore both Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s past capture of the popular vote to dismiss Trump’s success as nothing, but proof of the racism and misogyny of the American people. They project twisted motives of racially specific prejudice to smear large cohorts of Blacks, Latinos, Whites, men, women, and young people who all cast votes for Trump. It is more apparent than ever that the hate emanates from the media itself. It is the only thing keeping them relevant since the revelation of their lies threatens their existence.  Trump has said that a person who does not love the American people cannot lead America. Perhaps it is also true, that a media that does not like the American people cannot report accurately on us. Hate blinds the Mainstream Media (MSM) from seeing things as they are. 

The American people are good people who rejected the media narrative in response to their lived experiences. Fake news reports that inflation is down, but people feel the effects of rising prices on their household budgets. Tell them crime is down, but they see store items, like deodorant, under lock and key. Tell them the border is secure, but migrants from tent cities and hotels are making their neighborhoods unsafe. Americans know people whose children died from fentanyl. Americans see children transitioning at school, and boys playing on their daughter’s sports teams. They are angry that mandates kept schools closed and put people out of work. They have self-censored because America has become a place where the free exchange of ideas can cause you to lose your job. They rightly see that the world has become a powder keg for WW3. The American people could not afford to exchange the Trump lifeline for real change for a DEI president simply to check a box.  

People saw Kamala as vacuous while Trump was authentic. It didn’t matter that media reporting overwhelmingly favored Harris and derided Trump. Their credibility was lost in the volley between ping-ponging characterizations of Biden as the world’s greatest statesman and dementia patient. Absurdly calling Trump Hitler made them completely irrelevant with all but the gullible souls now seeking psychiatric help because of them.

A Christmas Story from a Former Sailor


By Frederick R. Bedell Jr.

Two days before Christmas in 1973, it was cold and beginning to snow when I set out from Great Lakes ILL. at 6.a.m. to get home to my boys on Long Island. I was in the U.S. Navy then. My boys, Tommy, and Bobby were in a foster home in Levittown because my wife had left us.  I was in the Navy and hadn’t enough money to fly home. I had always kept my promise to my boys and didn’t want to disappoint them.

Roger, a naval buddy had a car and could get me as far as Ohio. I could get a Greyhound bus there, which costs less. The roads were starting to get icy. All of a sudden Roger’s car skidded and hit the back of a truck. We were lucky and escaped unhurt. Now I was forced to hitchhike. As I was hitchhiking in the snow, I recalled a poem by Robert Frost, which went in part as follows,” The woods are lovely dark and deep, but I had promises to keep and many miles to go before I sleep.” Which I really had to do.
