In an article by Andrew Beck in his article American Aristocracy, I found an interesting statement about “Aristocracy” that goes back in time to pre-Christian Greece. I say “interesting” because although in America we do not use the words aristocracy or aristocrats much anymore, we still have elites in positions of power and influence. But are they aristocratic?

George Orwell wrote in his classic novel, 1984: “Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”So, there’s a battle over history. That battle continues in our day.

Lately, education is all over social media and the subject of many news stories. Specifically of interest is the downfall of government schools. Not only do parents worry about the content their children are being exposed to, but they are also rightfully concerned about the lack of academic excellence being achieved.

Culturally speaking, there is perhaps no more concerning trend these days than the attempts of the far Left to undermine parents and divide them from their children. From schools and libraries to the courts and the medical profession, radical forces are coming with the authority we’ve given them, and they’re coming for our kids.

It seems like anything can become a political issue nowadays. Schools are no exception. IFI has frequently sounded the alarm about the indoctrination of students occurring in today's education system and, Lord willing, we'll continue to do so as long as it's happening.

Our understanding of what we think is true constantly changes. At least, it does if we continue to learn. When I was in high school, for example, my science textbook unequivocally stated that the entire universe consisted of 16 galaxies. Period. Now, more than sixty years later, we do not know how many galaxies there are.

A homeschool advocate acquainted with an IFI staff member recently answered over 150 Facebook messages about homeschooling. "It's just blowing up!" the advocate said. "Lots and lots of parents from central and southern IL wanting out."

Over the last couple articles, we discussed the rationale for the peculiarly odd wickedness known as drag. In what possible worldview does it make sense? That worldview is known as queer theory, a philosophy dedicated to overthrowing traditional sexual norms. Queer theory teaches that different kinds of sexual activity exist on a hierarchy, and that sex is a malleable social construct.

I heard of a man who was tired of having gasoline stolen from his garage, so he poured sugar into his gas can and waited. Sure enough, a few days later he heard there was a young man from the neighborhood looking for a new engine. Gasoline engines are not designed to burn sugar!

Regardless of their claimed party affiliation, average Americans are more unified in their opinions than it might appear. It doesn’t seem that way when we watch the news or read the paper, and sometimes even when we discuss issues one-on-one. An outside observer might even think we are hopelessly divided.
