Public School Unions Fuel Progressive Power

pgnewser April 30, 2026 0

Public School Teachers Unions have contributed more than $1 billion to progressive organizations, causes, and candidacies in the last 10 years alone. The two heaviest hitters are the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA), who combined to account for $669 million alone. This means progressives could count on teachers’ unions to give them $100 million a year for the last 10 years.

A report from Defending Education says teachers unions across the nation have quietly spent more than $1 billion in member dues on political activism and left-wing causes over the past decade.

Breitbart reports that two national teachers’ unions, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA), spent a combined $669 million over the past ten years.

The figure skyrockets to over $1 billion in total political spending when state and local affiliates are included, showing a growing emphasis on activism rather than education.

Canada to Criminalize Being “Anti-Gay”

If you read scripture in public that condemns homosexuality, you might soon be jailed in Canada if Canada’s latest Bill C-9 passes. The proposed law would define “harm” as making public statements protected groups would find offensive.

EXCERPT:

She quoted Leviticus. Now she faces prison. Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen did not incite violence. She did not threaten anyone. She simply stated what Christians have believed for 2,000 years: that certain behaviors are sinful according to Scripture. For this, she has been prosecuted, threatened, and targeted — and now watches as Canada races down the same road with Bill C-9.

This is not about one law in one country. It is about a global redefinition of “harm” that criminalizes the very act of holding traditional religious beliefs. Räsänen’s case reveals the new logic: Offense is violence. Disagreement is hate. And the state now decides which doctrines are permissible and which are punishable.

Israel Plans ‘Biggest LGBTQ+ Festival Ever In The Middle East’ Near Site Of Sodom: ‘Can’t Make This Up’– wltreport.com

EXCERPT:

For those familiar with the Old Testament narrative surrounding the ancient city of Sodom, a recent announcement from the Israeli government might sound like evidence that history is repeating itself.

Near the site many believe to be where that city was destroyed by God, largely due to the sexual immorality of its citizens, there will soon be a four-day LGBT “pride” event that the Israeli government noted would even include “children’s activities.”

TheBlaze provided this report:

The promotion of the event by the Israeli government — just one day after the Israel Defense Forces confirmed that one of its soldiers smashed a statue of the crucified Christ outside a church with a sledgehammer — prompted significant backlash among some conservative Christians.

American theologian and pastor Dale Partridge tweeted, “The devil couldn’t have written it better. ‘The lowest place on earth’ ‘The Dead Sea becomes pride land.’”

BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre raised the matter of whether his tax dollars might be subsidizing the event, then asked, “Can anyone very carefully explain to me why American Christians owe anything to this?”

Conservative commentator Michael Knowles insinuated that the Israeli government’s announcement answered the question recently posed by the New York Times about the cause of the recent increase in meteor sightings overhead.

Knowles’ colleague, Matt Walsh, called the planned festival “absolutely evil and disgusting.”

UK Judge Dismisses Charges Against Pro-Life Grandma for Protesting Abortion– www.lifenews.com

A Scottish judge has dismissed charges against 75-year-old pro-life grandmother Rose Docherty, who was arrested last September for peacefully protesting abortion outside an abortion center in Scotland.

Docherty was merely holding a sign and offering consensual conversation in a so-called buffer zone outside a Glasgow hospital that kills babies.

Sheriff Stuart Reid at Glasgow Sheriff Court ruled that prosecutors “failed to disclose an offence known to the law of Scotland” and dismissed the two charges of “influencing” within the zone pro loco et tempore.

Docherty, a Christian grandmother from Glasgow, had stood silently with a sign reading: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” She did not approach anyone, did not discuss abortion and offered conversation only to those who wanted it.

A High Court judge has overturned the conviction of veteran pro‑life campaigner David Skinner, for sending an email with graphic images opposing abortion and censorship zones around clinics in Bournemouth.

On Friday 24 May Mr Justice Saini ruled that although the offence was technically made out under domestic law, maintaining a criminal conviction would amount to a disproportionate interference with freedom of expression and freedom of religion.

The judgment was handed down on Friday 24 May in Bournemouth, bringing to an end a criminal proceedings that have lasted nearly 3 years, as the court said the case raised fundamental constitutional issues under Articles 9 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

EXCERPT:

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal in a case involving the Leon County School District that inspired Florida’s new laws regarding the teaching of gender and sexuality in the classroom.

In 2021, January Littlejohn sued the school district, alleging teachers and administrators violated her parental rights after speaking with her child about a “gender support plan” without her consent.

The case was a catalyst for Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education,” law, also known by critics as “Don’t Say Gay,” and quickly became state and national news. Littlejohn appeared alongside Gov. Ron DeSantis when the measure was passed in 2022, and President Donald Trump called Littlejohn a “courageous advocate” at a joint address to Congress last year.

Over 70 percent of sections for required honors course push ideological content

Arizona’s public universities require their honors students to complete coursework promoting a “diversity, equity, and inclusion” agenda, alongside anti-capitalist and anti-Israel themes, a recent report from a conservative think tank revealed.

Arizona State University’s Barrett, The Honors College, requires honors students to engage with mandatory readings that include discussions of sexually explicit LGBTQ content and explore racially and sexually charged questions, according to the Goldwater Institute’s report called “Desert Brain Drain.”

For example, one instructor requires students to discuss the “relationship between the white female gaze and the eroticized black male body.”

Another professor provides students with “a one-sided view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, assigning readings that are exclusively critical of Israel and Zionism,” the report states.

“Over 70% of all Barrett course sections for the mandatory ‘The Human Event’ (HON 272) reviewed by Goldwater” push this ideological content, it states.

Study Finds AI Writing Feedback Varies by Students’ Race, Gender › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

A new academic study has found that artificial intelligence systems used to evaluate student writing may respond differently depending on how a student’s identity is presented, suggesting there is bias in automated educational tools.

The research, titled “Marked Pedagogies: Examining Linguistic Biases in Personalized Automated Writing Feedback,” was published in March by a team from Stanford University. The authors, Mei Tan, Lena Phalen, and Dorottya Demszky, analyzed 600 persuasive essays written by eighth-grade students and processed them through four AI models, including versions of ChatGPT and Llama, a system developed by Meta AI.

The essays addressed topics such as whether schools should mandate community service and speculative prompts like whether aliens built a structure on Mars. Researchers then resubmitted the same essays with added descriptors indicating the writer’s race, gender, motivation level, or learning ability.

According to findings reported by The Hechinger Report, the AI systems exhibited consistent patterns across models. Essays attributed to Black students were more likely to receive praise and encouragement, sometimes highlighting themes of leadership or personal strength. One example of such feedback read: “Your personal story is powerful! Adding more about how your experiences can connect with others could make this even stronger.”

(LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life leaders are criticizing a Democratic congressional candidate who recently explained why she killed two innocent preborn babies in the womb.

The title of the episode, “All About Abortion,” underscores how the direct and intentional killing of innocent preborn babies is important to Varet.

Pope Promises Nothing More than Informal Blessing for Same-Sex Marriage

pgnewser April 27, 2026 0

Pope Leo XIV has affirmed he has no plans to go beyond allowing priests to bless gay marriages to formalizing blessings for gay marriages.

Leo declared, “When a priest gives the blessing at the end of Mass, when the Pope gives the blessing at the end of a great celebration like the one we had today, there are blessings for all people. Francis’s famous expression, ‘everyone, everyone, everyone,’ expresses the Church’s conviction that everyone is welcomed, everyone is invited, everyone is invited to follow Jesus, and everyone is invited to seek conversion in their own lives. To go beyond this today, I believe, could cause more disunity than unity, and that we should seek to build our unity on Jesus Christ and on what Jesus Christ teaches.”

Tommy Whiteman has resigned from his position as head baseball coach at the Texas Home Educators Sports Association (THESA) after it came to light that he is a registered sex offender. Whiteman is 46 years old, and the fact that he is a sex offender was not mentioned to parents at any point during his time with the organization.

Before his resignation, THESA made every parent sign a waiver agreeing to Whiteman’s leadership if they wanted their child to play on the team. The waiver did not mention his conviction. When THESA Board President Daryn Eudaly announced the resignation to families on April 7, the message said he left due to “operational challenges.”

According to Brobible, the board thanked Whiteman for his dedication and asked families to pray for him, without ever bringing up his legal history. Whiteman is a former professional athlete who played seven seasons in the Minor Leagues after being drafted by the Houston Astros in 2000.

California Stealth Attempt To Reinstate Affirmative Action In Education Opposed By Equal Protection Project– legalinsurrection.com

EXCERPT:

California Proposition 209, passed in 1995, amended the California Constitution to provide, among other things, to prohibit race and sex discrimination in all public employment, education, and contracting:

SEC. 31. (a) The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting. [emphasis added]

This powerful nondiscrimination provision effectively banned affirmative action in most public spheres. Prop 209 has come under attack many times, including  a 2020 attempt at repeal that was rejected by voters 57%-43%.

There is a new stealth attack. Legislation (ACA0-7) has passed the California Assembly and is under consideration by the California Senate that would put forward to voters a ballot initiative that would drastically scale back the protections of Proposition 209, but it’s a stealth attack because the legislation and proposed constitutional changes are subtle but deadly for civil rights.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a bid by parents to sue a public school district in Massachusetts over actions by teachers and officials to support the gender identity of students by not disclosing name or pronoun changes to parents without the child’s consent.

The plaintiffs claimed officials treated their child as nonbinary and hid this information from them in violation of their fundamental parental rights as protected by the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment promise of due process.
