Netherlands Euthanises Sick Child Under 12 For First Time In History
Topic: Children and Family
Source: AOL
A 12-year-old girl died by euthanasia in the Netherlands, according to a new report from the country's health minister documenting cases of individuals choosing medically assisted death. The girl, whose identity was not disclosed, had been diagnosed with an unspecified "severe illness." In correspondence to parliament, Dutch health minister Sophie Hermans presented an annual report examining all late-term abortions and medically assisted euthanasia cases involving children. Until two years ago, the nation permitted euthanasia only for newborns and for individuals aged 12 and above, provided they were enduring unbearable suffering with no realistic prospect of relief. Patients under 18 also required consent from a parent or legal guardian.

Sadiq Khan Said There Were No Grooming Gangs In London
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Zero Hedge
Police Investigating 4,000 Cases. London Mayor repeatedly dodged questions last year... The London mayor who once insisted there was "no indication" of grooming gangs now faces explosive new scrutiny after a police review uncovered thousands of previously sidelined child sexual exploitation files. The Metropolitan Police has identified more than 4,000 potential child sexual exploitation cases across London that may require reopening. These stem from roughly 12,000 reports dating back to 2010, with about one in three previously closed after police or prosecutors took no further action.

NY judge rules in favor of trans athlete booted from women's track meet
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Washington Times
A New York judge ruled against a university that blocked a transgender athlete from competing in a women’s track meet, saying that state law banning discrimination based on gender identity supersedes President Trump’s executive order on female sports. State Judge Richard McNally rejected a motion from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Sadie Schreiner, a transgender runner who was barred from a 2025 women’s track meet hosted by the university.

Pride Parades Combine Celebration,
Topic: Gay/Lesbian Issues

Calls to Action It's important 'to show the world who we are,' New York participant says Pride Month celebrations peaked Sunday with big parades in New York, San Francisco, and other cities on the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall uprising, which accelerated and transformed the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. Pride events often mix celebration and calls to action, reflecting the political winds, cultural climate, and news around LGBTQ+ rights. "As LGBTQIA+ events and symbols are being erased, it's vital that our community have safe spaces to show up and march to make clear: We are here," Chris Piedmont, a spokesperson for New York parade organizers Heritage of Pride, said in a statement Friday. "We will not be erased."

'Banned' German Movie Inspired by Sexual Assaults by Migrants
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: Twitchy
Posted in Full to X, Becomes Huge Hit. Uwe Boll is an interesting character. Born in West Germany, he's best known for being a terrible director, butchering big-screen adaptations of video games. In 2006, he challenged his harshest film critics to a "put up or shut up" boxing match dubbed Raging Boll. (He won every bout.) Boll met a setback this year with his new feature, Citizen Vigilante, starring Armie Hammer. The film was effectively banned in Germany, as it was not given a classification by the country’s film rating body, meaning it couldn't legally receive the certification required for public screenings. What was so offensive about the film? The movie tells the story of an American man in Europe who takes matters into his own hands when girls are raped and murdered by migrants. "The movie is dedicated to all the women in Europe who got left alone by the law," he told Jack Posobiec. "So many cases of random rapes, random stabbings, random violence happened based on mass migration."

Shakespeare Was Actually a Black, Jewish, Female Poet, New Book Claims
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: New York Post
The author of a new book about William Shakespeare is claiming that the works of the famed playwright were actually written by a black, Jewish woman. The book, The Real Shakespeare: Emilia Bassano Willoughby by Irene Coslet, argues that Shakespeare was actually Emilia Bassano, a dark-skinned Jewish woman who was an English poet during the Elizabethan period. The Amazon description for the book, which says it is set to be released on March 30, questions if Shakespeare was indeed “a white man from Stratford.”

TX board approves adding Bible stories to required reading for public school students
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: CBS News
Texas public schools will require students to read Bible stories under a reading list approved by the state's education board Friday, widening conservative efforts to bring more Christian teachings into U.S. classrooms. The Texas State Board of Education, which is controlled by Republicans, approved the list of over critics who argued the titles lacked diversity and and blurs the separation of church and state. Under the mandate, more than 5 million public school students in Texas must read traditional literary works such as E.B. White's "Charlotte's Web" and Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations." They'll also be required to read Bible stories, including passages from the New Testament and excerpts from the Book of Job. The rollout will be staggered, starting with elementary school students in 2030.

Yale Looks to Bend the Knee on race-based admission
Topic: Political Correctness

Yale University has already sought settlement talks with the Trump Administration in the face of a widespread probe into its admission policies, according to a Friday New York Times report. One of the country's most elite universities apparently does not want the same high-profile, months-long fight with the government that its historic rival, Harvard, faced last year, The Times reported. Three sources told the outlet the government has launched an investigation of the New Haven, Connecticut-based school for giving preferential treatment to Black and Hispanic applicants at its medical school, and is also reviewing Yale's undergraduate and law school practices.

Commentary and Opinion
Katharine Birbalsingh’s Fiery ARC Speech
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Gateway Pundit
British educator, author, and prominent advocate for education reform, Katharine Birbalsingh, delivered a recent speech for The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, and her frank assessment of modern education has taken the internet by storm. In her address at the ARC Conference, Birbalsingh, Britain’s “strictest headmistress,” argued that the West is experiencing a profound civilizational decline driven by the erosion of traditional moral values in the younger generation. Citing incidents like the death of Henry Novak and the assassination of Charlie Kirk, she blamed “white guilt” and an oppressor-versus-oppressed worldview taught in schools and reinforced online.

“White Time”: Dutch Professor Argues that Time Itself is Racist
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Jonathan Turley
We have previously discussed how many professors seem to compete in finding new forms of racism in every facet of society and education. Astrophysics, math, runoffs, science, statistics, and meritocracy have all been denounced as racist. In this academic cottage industry, professors secure publications and speaking opportunities by identifying racism in the expressions, images, or entire fields. It was, therefore, only a matter of time before time itself was declared racist.

Are The Epstein Survivors Being Exploited Yet Again?
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: Zero Hedge
Follow the money... On February 8, 2026, the advocacy group World Without Exploitation launched a 40-second public service announcement during the Super Bowl featuring Jeffrey Epstein survivors demanding the full release of federal files related to Epstein's sex trafficking network. The Epstein survivors held up pictures of themselves when they were initially abused by Epstein as minors or young women. "After years of being kept apart, we're standing together," they said. The background was pitch black, and the music was haunting. The PSA ended with the following: "Stand With Us. Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT'S TIME FOR THE TRUTH."

California's $20 Million Attempt To Silence Medical Speech
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Real Clear Politics
This is not consumer protection. It is political warfare... In a trial set to begin June 24, California's Attorney General Rob Bonta is asking a court to do something that should alarm every American, regardless of where they stand on abortion: punish nonprofit organizations with ruinous fines for speaking about a lawful medical treatment. The target is not fraud. These charities offer their services for free. It is not patient harm. There is no evidence of any patient being harmed. It is not even illegal conduct. The underlying treatment remains perfectly legal. The target is speech.

Military Depoliticization, Hegseth, And DEI
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Cynical Publius
...he depoliticizes our military’s ranks by eradicating the very most political doctrine. As I read and hear the usual cavalcade of woke, retired Democrat generals and admirals like McRaven, McCaffrey, Franken, and others falsely claiming that Pete Hegseth is “politicizing” the senior ranks of the U.S. military, inside my head, I am screaming in rage at the impunity with which they spread this pernicious and wholly inaccurate falsehood. Hegseth is doing EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE as he depoliticizes our military’s ranks by eradicating the very most political doctrine to ever infect the U.S. military since the U.S. Civil War: so-called “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” or “DEI.”

Mom of 7 Leans Into 'Agentic Parenting'
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Cut
Startup founder-turned-homeschooling mom experiments with autonomous digital helpers. Groceries that appear without being requested aren't magic at Jesse Genet's house—they're the work of "Claire," one of several AI agents she's turned into her virtual household staff. Writing for New York Magazine, Lane Brown details how the ex-startup CEO and mother of seven has handed off much of her family's tasks to autonomous software that reads her calendar, orders food, buys items on Amazon, manages her children's homeschool, and even builds custom apps. These agents run on a rack of Mac minis and a Mac Studio at her rural California ranch, increasingly using local AI models. "Local models mean nobody can cut her off," Brown writes. "They mean that whatever her family tells AI never leaves the house ... and they mean, [Genet] says, 'if the apocalypse happens, I'll still have superintelligence at my fingertips.'"

The Crisis in the Humanities Is Not About Money
Topic: Unspecified
Source: The Quillette
Critical theory did not merely politicise scholarship. It made scholarship easier to produce. Did the humanities go woke because they went broke? That scenario has become one of the more persuasive explanations for the present crisis in the humanities. As their enrolments declined and federal funding shrank, and universities began sending money (and, thus, prestige) toward STEM and professional programs, the humanities went looking for support wherever they could find it. If serious funders wanted academic work to be framed in the language of social justice, then scholars were willing to adapt accordingly. Tyler Austin Harper recently made this case in The Atlantic, arguing that what looked like ideological capture may, in fact, be economic desperation.

Culture Of Grievance
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: American Thinker
When victimhood becomes social currency... Every civilization develops a moral language - a set of virtues that it celebrates and vices that it condemns. For much of human history, societies lauded courage, resilience, self-sacrifice, duty, honor, and perseverance. The individual who overcame adversity was admired. The citizen who contributed more than he consumed was esteemed. To endure hardship without surrendering one’s dignity was considered noble. Increasingly, however, modern Western society appears to have inverted this hierarchy. Today, victimhood often functions as a form of social capital.
