Proven Results: Highlighting the Benefits of Charter Schools for Students and Families

In 2002, I became a fifth-grade teacher at the lowest-performing public school in the South Bronx, New York City’s lowest-performing school district. A mere 16 percent of PS 277 students could read at grade level. The first charter schools were just opening up in the neighborhood back then; there were virtually no alternatives to the schools that had failed children for decades.

Biden hails crime decrease, but the numbers tell a more violent story

President Biden plans to celebrate large drops in crime during his State of the Union address on Thursday, but that doesn’t reflect the experiences of people in cities such as the District of Columbia, Memphis, Tennessee and Dallas.

Homicides are down 35% in this Chicago neighborhood. What’s going on?

Stand Together

How did a pastor in Chicago’s South Side get gang members to lay down their weapons? He asked them to.

Why Putin’s Going Big With Nuke Threats — and Why We Need to Be Ready

Russian President Vladimir Putin lies.

With abandon, ecstatically.

“There are no Russian troops in Crimea!” he said as spetsnaz units were occupying the peninsula in March 2014.

“Russia will never start a war on Ukraine!” he repeated virtually up to the invasion two years ago.

Putin’s annual state-of-Russia address last week was no different. (Moscow is “not the one who started the war in Donbas,” the Kremlin’s master said.)

Bidenomics Is Bad Economics

RealClear Policy

Praise for Bidenomics from some media sources might lead people to believe our economic situation has never been better. What most Americans are experiencing is far less rosy. Inflation is no longer just a buzzword whispered in economic circles. It’s a harsh reality hammering the wallets of Americans.

Abandoning Ukraine Now Will Shred America’s Global Credibility — and Highlight Short-Lived US Promises

Just how long is “as long as it takes?”

Unless the House of Representatives surprises us upon its return to Washington next week with a vote on the supplemental bill providing military assistance to Ukraine, we may soon know the answer: less than two years.

A legislative assault on Colorado school safety

For the past 20 years, Colorado’s K-12 schools have had an affordable option to protect their children. School boards have been able to authorize selected employees as an armed security team. These security team members have had background checks, been vetted, been trained, have passed qualification tests on par with those tests given to law enforcement, and have been on campuses throughout the state with zero problems since their inception.

Examples of Serious Crimes By Illegal Aliens

FAIR

Illegal immigration is often portrayed as a victimless crime or is downplayed by asserting that most charges are for non-violent crimes. This simplistic approach shows a callousness towards the victims of crimes perpetrated by some unlawfully present foreign nationals and ignores the real threat posed by criminal illegal aliens.

How Mayor Eric Adams Wants Wealthy Donors to Save NYC: “All-Hands-on-Deck”

Can private philanthropy bail out New York City?

Late last year, Mayor Adams pleaded with wealthy New Yorkers to help fill the gaps in the City’s budget.

“This is . . . an all-hands-on-deck moment,” Adams said at a Police Athletic League luncheon. “I’m going to need you more than ever to support many of these organizations like PAL, Robin Hood Foundation, and others.”

Republicans, Now Is The Time For School Choice

Erick Erickson

Disturbing data from a state’s school system should be a political wake-up call for Republicans everywhere. Not a single student can do math on grade level in 53 different schools in Illinois. You need to hear that again. In 53 separate schools that collectively have thousands upon thousands of children in attendance, not a single child can read on grade level.
