Christian school scholarships made it to national TV. A look at the Fox & Friends set, where Aaron Baer talked about a scholarship tool for Christian schools built on the federal tax credit. censgo.org/ #ChristianEducation
We were told this was a painful decision for mothers only taken it under extremely difficult circumstances.
Now, I have no doubt that some women face difficult times and even pressure from a deadbeat father. But that is not this and I am rather confident is quite common.
Look at these young women DEMONICALLY cheer “Abortion is so back baby!”
Can you believe that these women are so excited at the thought of being able to m*rder their babies in the most violent of ways?!

BREAKING: Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates makes $445,000 a year.
She called school choice "racist" yet sends her kid to a private school.
Not a single child is proficient in math in 50 public schools in Chicago.
The education establishment in this country refuses to acknowledge that the walls are collapsing on them. The current system is failing at a catastrophic level.
I just watched a video of an American High School English Teacher reading REAL responses from her students after they read The Great Gatsby.
And I'm not even joking, I had to pause it because I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
These are 12th graders. SENIORS. About to graduate. About to vote, go to college, get jobs, run this country.
And they couldn't understand basic themes. They couldn't write a complete sentence. Some of them thought Gatsby was the villain because he had money. Some thought Daisy was a hero. The reading comprehension was just... gone.
We have a SERIOUS education crisis in America and nobody wants to talk about it.
If we don't address this, we have a horrible future ahead of us. Like, genuinely horrible.
And these kinds of responses are to be expected! Did you see the stats? 12th grade reading results in 2024 showed that reading levels in America are the LOWEST they've ever been since the assessment began in 1992. The lowest in 30+ years!
We took the books out of schools. We replaced them with iPads. We told kids that their feelings matter more than facts. We told teachers they can't fail anyone. We let TikTok raise our kids instead of literature.
And this is the result.
A generation that can't read. Can't think critically. Can't understand a 100-year-old book that is literally about THEM - about the American Dream, about fake people, about chasing money.
Gatsby would be rolling in his grave if he knew kids today can't even understand his story.
We need to ban phones in schools nationally. We need to bring back real books, real tests, real standards. And we need to start holding parents accountable too.
Because if a senior in high school can't read The Great Gatsby and tell you what it's about, we have failed. Not them. WE have failed them.
And we are all going to pay for it.

بعد أن قضت معظم حياتها في الدفاع عن الحركة النسوية.. الكاتبة البريطانية بيترونيلا وايت تكتب مقالًا تعبر فيه عن ندمها قائلةً:
“أنا عازبة وبلا أطفال ووحيدة لقد خذلتني الحركة النسوية وخذلت جيلي كله”
أضافت الكاتبة في مقالها: “ألتقي كل يوم اثنين مع مجموعة من الصديقات في أحد مطاعم لندن نجلس على طاولة بالقرب من النافذة ونناقش حياتنا، لدينا الكثير من الأمور المشتركة فكلنا في منتصف الخمسينات من عمرنا ونساء عاملات متعلمات تعليمًا مرموقًا ولكن.. هناك فراغ في حياتنا فكلنا عازبات وليس لدينا أطفال
أشعر بشكل متزايد كما تشعر صديقاتي المقربات أن الحركة النسوية قد خذلت جيلنا .. وأعتقد أحيانًا وكذلك صديقاتي بأن الغرب قد تجاوز الفلسفة النسوية وأنها أصبحت ضارة .. فأين في هذا العالم تُترك النساء مثلنا حتى نصل إلى منتصف الخمسينات من العمر ونجد أنفسنا وحدنا؟ .. هل تعلمون أن واحدة من كل عشر نساء بريطانيات في الخمسينات من العمر لم تتزوج قط وتعيش بمفردها! وهو أمر مؤلم وغير صحي
قالت لي صديقتي سالي البالغة من العمر 55 عامًا: أشعر دائمًا بأني شخص غير مرغوب به كامرأة لأن الحركة النسوية علمتنا أن الأنثى التقليدية هي صورة نمطية اخترعها الرجال لإبقائنا تحت سيطرتهم وبناءً على ذلك كنت معاديةً للرجال إلى حد إبعادهم والآن ها أنا أدفع ثمن ذلك .. أقولها بوضوح لقد حان الوقت لإعادة التفكير في هذه الثقافة واسترجاع الثقافة التقليدية .. ربما يكون الوقت قد فات بالنسبة لي ولصديقاتي ولكن لا ينبغي لنا أن نسمح للحركة النسائية بأن تدمر حياة الأجيال القادمة أيضًا”

I am speechless. Thomas Aquinas College just dropped a study on the rigor of the new SAT.
It compares the 1980/87 test with 2026. The findings should terrify every parent and teacher...
Vocabulary has collapsed.
Old SAT: 70.6% of questions tested vocab.
New SAT: 15%.
The old test forced students to know a wide range of words through analogies, antonyms, and sentence completions. The new test abandoned that. Most vocab questions now just ask students to fill in one blank from context.
Reading passages also got radically shorter (average ~97 words vs 300–340).
The new test uses short expository passages and hands you the necessary background knowledge inside the text. The older tests leaned much more heavily on argumentative and persuasive writing, assumed far more historical, scientific, and cultural knowledge, and penalized students who lacked it.
This is a redefinition of what "college readiness" means.
If you believe that kids should develop rigorous vocabulary, be capable of sustained reading, and possess background knowledge, I have bad news for you. The SAT no longer measures these.
If you want a future where children can actually read difficult texts and construct complex arguments, the SAT must be replaced now.
This cannot go on.
We were concerned that the SAT has become a less reliable measure of student preparedness for a rigorous college curriculum.
So, we commissioned a study from Johns Hopkins University. What does this study tell us about the state of higher education?
The results are shocking. thaq.co/4iLThZ0

On Fox & Friends Weekend, Aaron Baer explained how federal tax credits become Christian school scholarships.
"This is not a deduction. This is a full tax credit."

.@SecScottBessent and @JonHusted were in Columbus to discuss the Education Freedom Tax Credit.

Why in the world does the @OHSAASports ask kids "how do you identify your gender?" on their Physical Evaluation forms?? We passed the Save Women's Sports Act to shut down this nonsense. We need answers from OHSAA NOW.
Christian school leaders, what are you asking of your SGO? It should be more than just providing scholarships. Your SGO should be:
1. Missionally aligned, exclusively dedicated to serving Christian schools.
2. Provide a service other than just scholarships.
3. Not be novice.
Donations for the new federal Education Freedom Tax Credit count from Jan. 1, 2027.
Register your Christian school with us before then, and your parents, alumni and church choose your school when they give.

Maybe not the best idea...

Today, CEN hosted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Senator Jon Husted at Crown Preparatory Academy in Columbus for a discussion on the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit. I spoke of how such programs unleash innovation in an education space in crisis.

This little boy was aborted simply because he was male. Not because of a medical emergency. Not because of rape. Because of his sex.
Every abortion ends a human life. When the reason is nothing more than the child’s sex, the rhetoric of “choice” and “autonomy” collapses into what it has always been: the deliberate rejection and murder of an “unwanted” child.
The Christian Education Network continues to expand its work across the country in support of Christian schools and the families they serve. heartlandernews.com/christia… @HeartlanderNews
