Women Worth Half a Man?
Topic: Violence Against Women

Rep. Keith Self delivered remarks contrasting the principles laid out in America’s founding documents with Islamic Sharia law, arguing that the two systems diverge significantly on equality, legal standards, and religious liberty. He said that the concept of equal standing before the law, which is foundational in the United States, does not apply in the same way under Sharia. Self focused in particular on courtroom procedures and the weight given to testimony. In addition to courtroom standards, Self addressed marriage laws. He outlined what he described as differing rights between Muslim men and women when it comes to marrying outside the faith.

Police said no evidence of targeted racist attack against sociology professor Onwubiko Agozino. A police department in Virginia has cleared several White juveniles of hate crime allegations after a Black Virginia Tech University professor filed a criminal complaint, which was amplified by a local chapter of a far-left nationwide nonprofit. Dr. Onwubiko Agozino is a professor of sociology at the university, and describes himself as a "scholar-activist who values inclusive excellence and diversity with critical attention focused on people of African descent and other marginalized groups around the world" who "emphasizes race, class, and gender issues in his contributions to learning, discovery, and community engagement beyond the boundaries of the classroom."

Neufeld was one of the "loudest critics" against the B.C. government's move in 2017 directing school boards to update codes of conduct to address bullying based on "SOGI," or sexual orientation and gender identity, according to the tribunal’s decision.

Topic: Political Correctness

Judge Matthew Braner ruled last week that the hospital must continue to offer transgender procedures, including things such as puberty-blockers and other hormone treatments, to patients under 19. The hospital had previously announced in January that it would stop offering the procedures. This prompted the California Attorney General’s Office to sue, arguing that ending these procedures violated state law.

DOJ investigates Michigan schools over trans indoctrination
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Post Millennial
“Supreme Court precedent is clear: parents have the right to direct the religious upbringing of their children, which includes exempting them from ideological instruction which conflicts with their families’ sincerely held religious beliefs.” The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has opened investigations into three Michigan public school districts to determine whether they are teaching lessons that include sexual orientation and gender identity-related content, and, if so, whether parents were told they could opt their children out. The districts under review are the Detroit Public Schools Community District, Godfrey-Lee Public Schools, and the Lansing School District, which the department collectively described as the “Michigan School Districts.” The inquiries will focus on instruction in grades pre-K through 12, according to the department’s announcement.

Meet the Radicals Running to Lead the Los Angeles Teachers’ Union
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The City-Journal
Union del Barrio wants to lead United Teachers Los Angeles—and create a “unified continent.” Union del Barrio (UdB) is one of California’s most prominent radical advocacy groups. The self-described “revolutionary organization” has taken a leading role in disrupting federal immigration enforcement in Los Angeles, and its collaborators were a driving force behind California’s controversial ethnic-studies curriculum. Now UdB is again turning its attention to California’s education system. Members of UdB and its offshoot, the Association of Raza Educators, are running for leadership roles within United Teachers Los Angeles. If elected, these activists could further inject their radical politics into an already-struggling school system that hardly needs more leftism.

What an amazing milestone."

In an update from Maya’s father, David Gebala, he wrote, "Every single day, you show us just how strong, determined, and incredible you truly are. You continue to defy every expectation the doctors and surgeons once prepared us for. We were told we only had hours and yet here you are, still fighting, still with us."

Source: The Post Millennial
...after booking form had only 'male' and 'female' haircut options. A Montreal hair salon has been ordered to pay $500 to a person who identifies as non-binary after the customer claimed that their booking system was discriminatory. The processing system only allowed for the individual to get a men's or women's haircut. Alexe Frédéric Migneault, who identifies as non-binary, was asked in an email to select either male or female when in the process of arranging for a haircut in 2023. The salon, Station 10, charges by the minute, and since women’s hair appointments tend to take longer for them, it was part of their processing system, per CTV.

Columbia Students’ Commencement Ceremony Tantrum
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Victory Girls Blog
Ivy League (cough), Columbia University students are learning a hard lesson about their actions and consequences. A recent e-mail, dated February 9, made mention of a location change for Columbia’s commencement ceremonies in the spring. The event, will not happen in the usual location, the Morningside campus’ Low Steps, but at their “pedestrian” (student’s words, not more), Robert K. Kraft Field. Students are not happy. They say they are being “punished”, even. Pure “evil”, they say. This is what happens when you FA, kids. You FO. The thoughts of promoting Hamas and “pure evil” did not even come across their big ol’ brains when they were locking themselves inside of buildings and demanding water and an Uber Eats pizza. ince the days of protest, the University has cracked down on campus security and now requires all guests to be registered for access to the Morningside campus.

Is Gender Medicine Diminishing Trust in Doctors?
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The City-Journal
A new poll confirms growing public skepticism of these practices—even “when deemed medically necessary.” Transgender issues have become a serious liability for Democrats, according to a new poll by the Substack-based, left-leaning publication The Argument. The poll, which surveyed 3,003 registered voters nationally between February 4 and 10, asked about hot-button policy questions related to gender self-identification, including access to bathrooms, participation in sports teams, teaching gender identity in schools, and the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries on minors. In all those cases, a majority opposed the policies favored by the progressive faction of the Democratic Party. The only area in which a majority supported trans policies was protection from discrimination in housing and employment.

Time To Reopen The Franklin Child Prostitution Case After Epstein Revelations?
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Alt-Market
The seriousness of a conspiracy can often be quantified by the amount of energy the establishment expends trying to bury it...In Omaha, Nebraska in the 1980s, a child sex abuse scandal was uncovered which involved high profile politicians and business moguls. The central figure, Lawrence King Jr, was a GOP favorite and the manager of the Franklin Federal Credit Union, an institution which would eventually be caught up in an embezzlement investigation. He was accused of hosting lavish parties where minors were sexually abused and ritual occultism was practiced. Victims, often from foster care or a regional Boys Town orphanage, alleged they were tricked into recruitment, then flown to locations like Washington, D.C. for exploitation by high-ranking individuals, including politicians, businessmen, and law enforcement. Key accusers included Alisha Owen, Paul Bonacci, and Troy Boner. They claimed the existence of an elitist network engaged in ritualistic practices, drug use, and coercion.

Trans Ideology KILLS—we have to stop pretending it doesn’t
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Human Events
There has been another deadly shooting by a trans-identified male, this time in Rhode Island, resulting in three deaths, including the gunman. Less than a week earlier, nine people were killed in Canada by a male shooter who identified as female. The perpetrators shot at family members and strangers in cold blood before taking their own lives. These incidents follow a disturbing pattern of shooters that includes Audrey Hale in Nashville in 2023, Robert/Robin Westman in Minneapolis in 2025, the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk in Utah, Tyler James Robinson, who reportedly had a trans/furry partner, and so many others in recent years. Trans activists and their supporters insist on denying this pattern of violence, but reality is increasingly difficult to ignore.

The Purple Knight Rises
Topic: Individualist Feminism
Source: Everyman Commentary
Amelia was intended to be a bigoted character in a UK educational game. Instead, she has become a populist icon for ordinary people who are fed up with the globalist multicultural agenda. Now across the channel in Britain, the Yoo-Kay (U.K.) Home Office funded a Pathways animation video game that featured a cartoon character named “Amelia” to serve as an anti-immigration foil. The player in this game, referred to by the gender binary name “Charlie,” must navigate through sequential chapters which provide instruction on avoiding trouble from “extremism,” specifically by refusing to associate with those for whom the game prompts individuals to take offense. Amelia is presented as a Goth chick with violet hair, clad in a pink dress and sporting an indigo choker. To the Home Office, Amelia is emblematic of someone they want the game’s players to stay away from due to her extreme views on immigration, which they consider to be deeply problematic. However, Pathways neglected to consider in their depiction that Amelia is both young and cute, and at the same time shows attitude towards her betters in attempting to defend her nation.

Organized VA High School Students Plan More Anti-Protests
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Victory Girls Blog
Over 300 Virginia high school students in one district were suspended this week after they walked off campus. All because they were blindly protesting ICE. There have been quite a number of student protests around the country in the last week or so. All of them are protesting ICE arrests. But if you ask any of the students about WHY they are protesting ICE, all they can do sadly is parrot the liberal talking points. I’d bet if you ask any student, too many don’t realize they are protesting against the arrest of child rapists, thieves, murderers, drug traffickers and more.
