Bill Alert: New Michigan Sex Ed Overhaul by Democrats Aims to Rewrite the Rules, Pushing Abortion and Gender Identity

Michigan Legislators Plan to Use Lame Duck Session to Rewrite School Rules - J.P. Isbell
LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Michigan News Source has learned that Michigan legislators have plans to introduce a sweeping bill this month that could radically change the state’s public school curriculum around sex education, gender identity, and reproductive health. 
Fast-tracked for the lame duck session, the bill aims to reshape traditional values in schools...
Key changes in the proposed bill…
  • Abstinence Education Overhaul: The requirement to teach abstinence as a “positive lifestyle for unmarried young people” would be removed...
  • Emphasizing “Bodily Autonomy”: The bill introduces lessons on bodily autonomy, suggesting that children, even in elementary grades, are independent in making personal choices about relationships and health.
  • Expanding Gender and Sexual Identity Topics: The curriculum would require teachers to affirm various gender identities and sexual orientations, with teaching materials including examples of same-sex relationships, gender transitions, and non-binary identities.
  • Education on Abortion and Contraception: Schools could teach about all “legally available pregnancy outcomes,” including abortion, and distribute family planning resources without parental consent.
  • Parental rights at risk? - One of the most contentious parts of the bill involves parental involvement. Currently, parents must opt their children into sex ed programs, but this overhaul would assume parental permission unless they actively opt-out...

Crescent Dunes: Biden DOJ Moved on Election Night to Cover Up Alleged Solar Energy Scandal that Cost Taxpayers Hundreds of Millions

Outgoing President Joe Biden’s Justice Department moved on election night on Nov. 5 to essentially ensure the cover-up of a potentially massive green energy scandal, Breitbart News has learned exclusively. - Matthew Boyle
The federal government under Obama backed what was called the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project with $737 million in guaranteed loans. 
The plant was a $1 billion project...
  • The plant went into bankruptcy in 2020 after years of failing to return any profit, but as of 2021, it was reportedly operating again somewhat under a different ownership structure...
The timing begs questions regarding why the Biden Justice Department would — from all appearances — seek to cover this up before Donald Trump would win the Presidential Election and Republicans would control both houses in Congress...

Pressure grows for UMich to end its failed $250 million DEI experiment | The College Fix

Pressure grows for UMich to end its failed $250 million DEI experiment | The College Fix - Jennifer
  • The University of Michigan has spent about a quarter of a billion dollars on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts since 2016, but that has done nothing to unite or improve the campus community, and in fact in many ways DEI dogma produced more strife and division...which found Michigan has the largest DEI bureaucracy of any large public university...
“Where some found it shallow, others found it stifling. They rolled their eyes at the profusion of course offerings that revolve around identity and oppression, the D.E.I.-themed emails they frequently received but rarely read,” Confessore reported
“Michigan’s own data suggests that in striving to become more diverse and equitable, the school has also become less inclusive.”...

If Donald Trump really wants to “drain the swamp” as he’s promised, “the Clintons have to go down,” says Jason, adding that there are plenty of other establishment Democrats and Republicans (like Mitch McConnell) who also need to go.

“Thank God someone took on this job. It's an ugly, ugly job,” he says. “Somebody had to step up and be the Godfather and do the dirty work — the work no one else wants to do.”

Against Post-Election Infantilizing

Faculty should be role models for our students, not nannies, guidance counselors, or co-mourners. -Mark McNeilly
  • After the 2016 election of Donald Trump as president of the United States, many faculty at universities canceled classes...
  • Other professors took class time to allow students to “process their feelings” and deal with what was perceived as a devastating event for all on campus.
  • In 2024, some faculty followed the same playbook at universities such as Harvard, Michigan State, and UPenn, among other institutions, by canceling classes or using class time to deal with anticipated student emotions. 
This was a mistake for a number of reasons....
Myth I: Every student in their class is devastated by the results of the election. Given that Harris lost much of the youth vote (18-29 age range) compared to Biden in 2020 and beat Trump only 52 percent to 46 percent, this is a faulty belief...
Myth II: Students who were disappointed with Trump winning are not mature enough to deal with losing an election...

Instapundit - Colin Wright: Why Was This Groundbreaking Study on DEI Silenced?

Instapundit  - QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED:  -  
In a stunning series of events, two leading media organizations—The New York Times and Bloomberg—abruptly shelved coverage of a groundbreaking study that raises serious concerns about the psychological impacts of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) pedagogy. 
  • The study, conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in collaboration with Rutgers University, found that certain DEI practices could induce hostility, increase authoritarian tendencies, and foster agreement with extreme rhetoric.

Illegal Immigrants Are Committing Crimes in Southeast Michigan. Will Trump Deport Them? - Michigan Enjoyer

...according to local authorities who detained and questioned the migrant after the tragedy but then inexplicably released him... - By Kaylee McGhee White
  • Earlier this month, Stephen Singleton, 72, left his home in Rochester Hills for a walk around his neighborhood, as he did every morning. As he was crossing a marked crosswalk, the grandfather and local pastor was hit by a driver who sped through a red light. Singleton was rushed to the hospital, where he later died. The man who struck Stephen Singleton was a 28-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia, according to local authorities who detained and questioned the migrant after the tragedy but then inexplicably released him...
  • Just north of the Singleton’s neighborhood, other Oakland County families are being terrorized by alleged transnational criminals who are also in the country illegally. Since Halloween, Novi police said there have been four home break-ins by this group, which they believe is made up of South American gang members...
Novi officials recommended that homeowners install hard-wired security cameras so they cannot be disconnected by the suspects...
To be clear, deportations are not only legally permitted, but legally required...

'Carte blanche to ban whatever': School district wants to impose radical speech limits * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Carte blanche to ban whatever': School district wants to impose radical speech limits * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

"But here's the problem: 'Hate speech' has no legal meaning in the United States, and the term is often used to describe speech that is constitutionally protected," FIRE reported. "The policy does provide its own definition of 'hate speech,' namely 'any form of communication that attacks, threatens, degrades, or insults a person or group based on their race, color, national origin, ancestry, creed, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender variance, or any other group.'"

But FIRE, in a letter to the district, explains that "vague and subjective definition violates the First Amendment."

Actually, many analysts have said the First Amendment was created in order to protect offensive speech, because inoffensive comments – those that everyone would support – would need no special protection.
