Education and Pedophilia

Plus, Energy - Gas Stoves; and Bettering Human Lives

‘P’ Is for …

Education reformer Larry Sand, president of the California Teachers Empowerment Network, is one of the best writers on the education beat. As such, he often has to tell unpleasant truths. His latest column deals with one: the startling rise of sexual abuse of children by educators and other school personnel.

“Pedophilia is proliferating in the nation’s public schools,” Sand writes. “Going back to 2004, a [U.S. Government Accountability Office] report prepared for the U.S. Department of Education revealed that nearly 9.6% of students are victims of sexual abuse by school personnel, and these are just the reported cases.”

You may find that number hard to believe, but Sand provides plenty of documentation it continues to be true up to the present. Here’s an example:

[A] report published on Jan. 1 by the Chicago Board of Education’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG), reveals that hundreds of public school students in Chicago were either raped, sexually assaulted or groomed by their teachers during the 2021-2022 school year. The report discloses that a total of 772 investigations into the alleged crimes occurred over the year. Additionally, the OIG was able to close 600 “adult on student” cases with “more than half of the allegations being substantiated.”

The main reason the sexual abuse statistic is difficult to accept is that the nation’s press has generally kept the public in the dark about these incidents. Sand writes,

“The fact that the mainstream media has ignored the findings is also scandalous. As of this time, just a handful of conservative news outlets have covered the story. Perhaps child abuse in America is just not newsworthy anymore.”

Oh, it’s newsworthy, all right. It’s just that the media, like the education establishment, have developed a strange approval of the sexualization of children. “As sex crimes against children proliferate, the efforts of the sex and gender cult are also growing,” Sand writes. Sand cites reports—none of them from the mainstream press—about San Francisco teachers encouraging children to “choose” a gender and hiding that from parents, a “naughty” holiday party for students at the home of the president of the Claremont Unified School District, and similar situations in Missouri and Wisconsin. Sexualization has become increasingly normalized in the nation’s public schools, with parents and taxpayers being told nothing about it.

Businesses and private schools are also expressing enthusiasm about the sexualization of children, Sand notes:

Project Veritas released an undercover video during which Joseph Bruno, Dean of Students at Chicago’s tony Francis W. Parker School - a private school that charges over $40,000/year in tuition for upper level students - discussed pride week:

“So, I’ve been the Dean for four years. During Pride - we do a Pride Week every year - I had our LGBTQ+ Health Center come in [to the classroom]. They were passing around butt-plugs and dildos to my students - talking about queer sex, using lube versus using spit. They’re just, like, passing around dildos and butt-plugs. The kids are just playing with ‘em, looking at ‘em. … They’re like, ‘How does this butt-plug work? How do we do - like, how does this work?’ That’s a really cool part of my job.”

Bruno went on to say, “We had a Drag Queen come in - pass out cookies and brownies and do photos.”

“Really cool.” Our schools have gone from “Diagram this sentence” to “How does this butt-plug work?” Although some parents and taxpayers may consider that to be progress, I suspect that most would not. The corruption of our schools is an outcome of the development of a permanent ruling class that is insulated from the consequences of its decisions. The resultant widening gap between the opinions of lawmakers and those of their constituents has led to an increasing migration of black Americans, in particular, out of Democrat-controlled cities as local governments’ failures in education, crime control, infrastructure, and other services make conditions intolerable for the residents. The New York Post reports,

The black population in New York City declined from 2.1 million in 2000 to 1.9 million in 2020, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, even as the black population nationwide surged dramatically from 36 million to 47 million over the same period.

Crime-ravaged Chicago witnessed an even greater decline, from more than 1 million black residents in 2000 to less than 800,000 in 2020. Chicago has been ruled solely by Democrat mayors since 1931.

The city government of Chicago has begun a program begging “Black and Brown” people to come back to the city, with elaborate plans to put up new buildings in depopulated areas. Perhaps that will lure back the segment of the population that does not mind daily shootings and school rapes.

Experts Explain Why Biden Administration Suggested Banning Gas Stoves
It didn’t fly too well. Not only was the information incorrect, it’s already been walked back. Gas stoves have absolutely no effect on climate. The Biden administration and other elites globally are so invested in ‘green’ energy that discrediting anything else is money in their pockets. Lots and lots of money.

Steven Milloy, author of multiple books including “Green Hell” and “Scare Pollution,” is one of several experts in energy, the environment, and public health who are calling the administration’s bluff on the danger of gas stoves.  

Milloy says Americans don’t need to be frightened to fire up their gas stove because the appliances are “perfectly safe” and the warnings from the Biden administration are a “PR move meant to advance this anti-gas agenda.” 

Even if Americans all stopped using gas stoves, “there’s no way it’s going to affect climate,” Milloy said.  

“America could go dark tomorrow, burn no more fossil fuels and remain that way for the rest of eternity, and it’s not going to affect global climate,” he said. “U.S. emissions are only 10% of global emissions, so you would still have 90% of emissions, so what will have been accomplished?”  

Energy - Bettering Human Lives
I watched an interview with Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy on ‘Climate and the Shale Revolution’. He educates with facts about fossil fuels and ‘policies in the name of climate change’. Here is a website with more in-depth information that I know what to do with. :-)

Below are links to four short videos of Chris covering a few critical points about fossil fuels:
People Don't Understand Energy (5:26) (8/29/2022) Chris Wright, who runs America's second-biggest frack services company, said the US is not in the midst of an energy transition and said subsidies for wind and solar will only drive electricity prices higher and increase grid instability. He speaks on "Bloomberg Markets."
Chris Wright on CNN's Quest Means Business (6:10) (8/30/2022)
NYSE Floor Talk: Chris Wright, CEO, Liberty Energy (4:34) (Aug, 2022) Liberty Energy CEO Chris Wright tells us how the company is managing climate change responsibly, and he shares highlights from its 2nd annual Bettering Human Lives report. #NYSEFloorTalk
The noise and hostility in our industry has a chilling impact on investment, says Liberty Energy CEO (3:30) (11/15/2022) Chris Wright, Liberty Energy chairman and CEO, joins 'The Exchange' to discuss if Wright and others in the fracking industry have the capacity for more fossil fuels, how fast could Liberty Energy ramp up production due to issues in Europe and more.

Additionally, I recommend the book “The Coming Dark Age: The Impact of the War on Fossil Fuels“ by Steven J. Bolen. I particularly recommend Chapter 5, Lessons in a Barrel [of oil], Chapter 8, The True Story of Renewables, and the Epilogue.
