Satan clubs are coming to an elementary school near you!

Satan. The Prince of Darkness. Lucifer. Whatever the title, normal people typically associate Satan with something evil. Satanic worship always puzzles me, because while I can understand that someone would be an atheist (which lets you off the hook on plenty of bad behavior), worshipping someone that you know to be bad and want the worst for humanity seems like a really, really dumb idea.

Alas, there are Satan worshippers, and they are coming to an elementary school near you! Imagine my surprise when I received this gem of an email last week:

Dear Families,

In an effort to maintain transparent practices, I would like to share the following information that was sent to the B. M. Williams school community yesterday.Chesapeake Public Schools (CPS) is committed to open communication and transparency with our families. For that reason, you are receiving this message to ensure you have accurate information.

The School District has long held policies and procedures in place which allow varied community groups to use our publicly funded facilities outside of the school day. This is common practice among school districts around the state and nation. Over the years, different religious groups have requested and been allowed to rent our facilities after hours. By law, CPS cannot discriminate based on beliefs among groups wishing to rent our facilities.

Consistent with the law as detailed above and the criteria set out in the CPS Board policy regarding community use of facilities, the School District has approved a building use request from an organization known as the “After School Satan Club” (ASSC) to host gatherings after school hours at B.M. Williams Primary School. Students must have parental permission to attend any after school event hosted by any outside organization.

It is important to note that CPS does not endorse any of the activities or content of groups that host events on school district property outside the instructional day. It is also important to note that the ASSC is not a School District-approved club, and no District employee is acting as a club sponsor.

The School Board does not approve building use forms and has not voted in this case.

Please note, we have added this item to the agenda for the next regular meeting of the School Board on December 12, 2022, for further discussion. Citizens are welcome to attend and may address the Board during the Hearing of Citizens portion of the meeting. For more information on how to sign up to speak, visit our website (link provided).We remain committed to working to minimize any distractions this news may create, while ensuring our focus is always on providing a safe and secure learning environment for our students. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jared Cotton, Superintendent

Like, WTF, Jared?

So there is literally a group that is totally cool with worshiping the Prince of Darkness, and that group wants to talk to your kids. Inside the school. After hours. What could possibly go wrong?

First, I call BS on the “we have to be equal to everyone” claim. I highly, highly doubt that. Had the Westboro Baptist Church, or some similar organization tried to reserve the school, it likely would have never seen the light of day. Heck, had the local Republican group asked to reserve a classroom after hours for a meeting, I’m betting they would be denied.

Second, the email is a cop-out. It screams “Please don’t show up to the school board meeting like they did in Loudon County,” and “Please don’t blame us when you go to vote.”

Not surprisingly, many local churches banded together to, literally, fight Satan. My church included. I mean, can you call yourself a Christian church and NOT fight Satan? So a massive prayer fight was organized, and eventually the Satanic Temple decided to pull the event, but not before my Catholic church had 40 people out in front of the school praying.

This won’t be the last battle though, and the club is still on the next school board discussion, per an email sent this week:

Dear CPS Families:

Last week I shared information regarding the Facility Use Application for the After School Satan Club (ASSC) to hold monthly meetings at one of our schools. I emphasized that the ASSC is not a District-approved club, and also that the Application was compliant with District Policy. Following our Policy and applicable federal law, the Application was approved.

Today, the Chesapeake citizen requesting to use the facility on behalf of the ASSC has officially withdrawn their request. As such, the application no longer meets the requirements of School Board Policy. At this point, the approval for building use has been canceled.Please note, this item will remain on the agenda for the next regular meeting of the School Board on December 12, 2022, for further discussion. Citizens are welcome to attend and may address the Board during the Hearing of Citizens portion of the meeting. For more information on how to sign up to speak, visit our website (link provided).

I hope our communications on this matter have helped to answer questions and concerns regarding this situation. Thank you for your continued understanding and support.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jared A. Cotton
Superintendent

I think I know what I’ll be doing on December 12th.

This whole thing reminds me of a conversation I had with a flag officer almost 10 years ago. We were having a friendly discussion about religion and the existence of evil. He argued that while he believed in “God” (of some kind anyway), he didn’t believe in true evil, only that people could do bad things based on their interests. I made the comment “The best way for evil to exist is to convince the world it doesn’t.” I still stand by that comment today.

The Satanic Temple will make plenty of arguments about how its just using the imagery to catch attention, or that it just wants to “teach critical thinking,” but in truth its just twisting our own rules to try and justify itself. Remember when Satan quoted Scripture to Jesus in the desert? He’s quite intelligent, far more than most people give him credit for. He’ll manipulate everything we have, from our laws to our emotions, to advance his will. If we’re not willing to fight back, he will pull away our children and destroy everything we hold dear.

Mitch McConnell is betraying Republican voters by collaborating with Democrats to pass the JCPA Media Cartel Bill

Mitch McConnell is the poster child for everything that is wrong with the Republican Party.  He is a swamp dweller who all too often conspires with Democrats in their dismantling of the United States.  Long ago he declared war on conservative republicans in the United States Senate.

Just this week Mitch McConnell engaged in his greatest betrayal of the American people when he caved to radical Democrats who seek to cram the Journalism Competition Preservation Act into the latest National Defense Authorization Act.  McConnell’s latest betrayal is captured in this Breitbart article.

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell has caved to outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and will allow the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to include the highly controversial media cartel bill the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News.

Democrats have been pushing the JCPA intensely because it is nothing more than a scheme to censor conservatives and other right wingers.

The JCPA, essentially a transfer of wealth from Silicon Valley to the discredited and distrusted corporate legacy media, is highly controversial. Beyond the financial payouts to media companies, they will be able to form a “joint negotiating entity”—a cartel, immune from antitrust law—to negotiate with Big Tech companies on the “terms and conditions” for carrying their content.

Censorship is sure to be a frequent demand of media companies. Despite provisions in the bill that purportedly stop media companies from negotiating the suppression of any one competitor, there is nothing to stop them asking their content to be prioritized over broadly-drawn categories that are used as pretexts for censorship, like “disinformation.”

As usual Democrats try hard to obscure their misdeeds through word games and legal charades.

Even with the hastily-added Senate amendment aimed at addressing conservative concerns regarding collusion between the media industry and Big Tech on the censorship of competitors, the bill still contains plenty of ways for the cartel to sideline conservative media.

Provisions to ensure the cartel cannot discriminate on the basis of “viewpoint” are particularly unconvincing. The pretexts used by social media companies, “fact checkers,” and other arms of the corporate censorship apparatus are almost always viewpoint-neutral. No one is censored for being a conservative, say the censors: they are censored for “misinformation,” “hate speech,” “conspiracy theories,” and other purportedly viewpoint-neutral reasons.

Both George Washington and John Adams warned strenuously against dividing the United States into two political parties.  They have been proven correct over and over again.  Mitch McConnell’s latest betrayal is more proof that they were right.

A Day for Brittany Cooper To Celebrate…

…after all according to this piece at RedState:

She also claims white people are inherently corrupt and at one point declared that we have to “take these muthaf***ers out.”

All of this being the case today must be a red letter day for her and those who think like her.

After all on this date 81 years ago over 2400 mostly White straight male Americans will killed when the Japanese Empire bombed Pearl Harbor. Even better as a result of this raid many other American possessions in the pacific garrisoned mostly by white straight males would be seized and thousands more of those, as she puts it “motherfuckers” would be taken out.

Of course all of these celebration is tempered by the fact that in the end those straight white males would prevail dictating terms to the Empire of Japan from the deck of the USS Missouri right in Tokyo Bay.

But at least she’ll always have Pearl Harbor day.

Closing thought, just how many such academics are in the schools today and how many sitting Democrat pols all over the nation believe and support this but don’t dare say it aloud?

I suspect the number is rather significant.

Don’t know much about history…

As I pondered retirement from teaching a few years ago, one of the most important reasons I decided to leave academia was because I didn’t think we were serving students well.

As a field of employment, journalism had grown increasingly doubtful as a longterm career, and paying more than $100,000 given the prospects of a dying industry didn’t seem right.

It appears that journalism isn’t alone in this academic fraud.

Two in five American college graduates have significant regrets about what they studied in school. Those who regret their decisions included a wide swath of liberal arts majors, according to the Federal Reserve’s annual Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking.

Nearly half of humanities and arts majors had buyer’s remorse, according to a survey in 2021. According to the Federal Reserve survey, engineering majors have the fewest regrets: Just 24 percent wish they’d chosen something different.

As a rule, those who studied STEM subjects – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – are much more likely to believe they made the right choice. In contrast, those in social sciences or vocational courses second-guess themselves.

There doesn’t seem to be much of a relationship between loans, gender, race, or school selectivity and those who regret their choices. But Federal Reserve data show that the higher one’s income, the fewer people regret their major back in college.

These regrets have remained relatively steady since 2016, the earliest year for which consistent data exist. The most notable exception, education, went from below-average regrets before the pandemic to above-average regrets in 2021. 

Most vocational and technical students (60 percent) wish they’d gone for more schooling, while fewer than 40 percent of law, life science, and engineering students think the same.

The burgeoning regret among humanities and arts majors may help explain why humanities graduates are a dying breed.

“There’s a pretty significant change underway,” historian Ben Schmidt told The Washington Post. “The numbers have dropped by 50 percent, and there’s no sign that they’re going to rebound.”

By 2021, disciplines such as history, English, and religion graduated fewer than half as many students as they did in the early 2000s, according to Schmidt’s analysis of data from the National Center for Education Statistics.

According to Schmidt, the 2008 recession sparked the beginning of a downward spiral in humanities such as history, art, philosophy, English, and foreign languages.

In the decade since our national pivot to STEM, the number of people graduating with computer science degrees has doubled. Every STEM field notched significant gains. Nursing, exercise science, medicine, environment, engineering, math, and statistics are all up by at least 50 percent. Among the humanities, only two increased: linguistics and cultural, ethnic, and gender studies.

Over their lifetime, a typical history or journalism major can expect to earn about $3.4 million, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data from 2014 to 2018 by economist Douglas Webber, who is now with the Federal Reserve. A typical economics, biological sciences, or chemistry major can expect to make $4.6 million over that same time, adjusted for inflation.

If I were in college today, I would never choose journalism or English literature, my two fields of study. I wouldn’t encourage anyone else to do so either!
