Audit Indicates Funds Mis-spent The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future is an illusion. It’s an illusion created and being mandated by delusional politicians and “education” experts. The Blueprint education reform, which is projected to cost the State of Maryland an additional 3.9 billion dollars in education spending at both the State and Local level, is a payoff to the Teachers’ Union, certain other professional political lobbying groups (medical, pharmaceutical, and dental), and those who want to obliterate local control of school systems currently exerted by elected and accountable school boards. The original intent of the Thornton/Kirwan Legislation was to boost student…

Delegate Acts To Remove Parental Opt Out From Portions Of State’s Heath and Sex Education Curriculum Dealing with Gender Ideology and Sexual Orientation In Grades As Low As Kindergarten If you ask anyone in Maryland about State Delegate Vanessa Atterbeary (D), you will get very interesting responses. You’ll hear “powerful” and “determined.” But, you will also hear the words “hypocrite,” “nasty,” and “liar”. These descriptions come from those who have had to work with her or testify in front of her in the Maryland House of Delegates. Atterbeary’s history shows that she is clearly a person who sees power as…

When Did Black History Month Celebrations Start Focusing on Black Victimhood Instead Of Accomplishment? Last week, we did a story on the Howard County Public Schools adopting the Black Lives Matters curriculum for the first week of Black History Month. Here is a link to that story: What Are Howard County Public Schools Teaching During Black History Month? – The Easton Gazette As we said in that article, just when you thought the school system would be teaching about famous Blacks like Harriet Tubman, Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King Jr., etc., a look inside the curriculum provided to teachers…

To The Virtual Legislative Rally on Tuesday If anyone can overcome adversity caused by weather, it’s a group of Moms plus dedicated legislators and noted speakers.

The Wicomico County Board of Education approved $1,275,298.61 in annual portable classroom leases for the 2024-2025 school year. Although portable classrooms should only be needed here or there, this reveals a much larger problem that they’re not telling the taxpaying citizen: “you’re being exploited.” Below you can see the transactions at the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year: In addition, thousands upon thousands of our tax dollars are being put into replacing HVAC systems for these portables that the WCBOE doesn’t even own. They have voted in past meetings to approve such costly replacements to improve someone else’s property.…

Oxford Commissioner Tom Costigan swearing in Chief Phillips on May 28, 2024 It was a path to the job of Oxford, Maryland Chief of Police that Chris Phillips probably didn’t imagine.

And while he loved being in law enforcement, he felt himself becoming jaded because what he described as a “lack of community support.” The City of Cambridge is no easy place to police with crime that some say rivals large cities. When he saw an opening advertised in the small town…

The Delmarva Parent Teacher Coalition has been watching the State of Maryland and some local school districts across Delmarva. Their latest political move is to retaliate against the Trump Administration by using a coordinated disinformation campaign to stoke fear across Maryland and the local communities. They’re implying that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be raiding schools in SWAT gear and dragging kids away in front of their peers. That’s the furthest from the truth. Maryland State superintendent Dr. Carey Wright posted instructions on the Maryland State Department of Education website that frames a federal witch hunt,…

If I had to guess about how much the staff at the Maryland State Department of Education had contact with real teachers in real classrooms in real schools, I would have to say “none ” after watching the Tuesday, January 28th joint meeting between MSDE, the Maryland State Board of Education and the Accountability and Implementation Board for Maryland’s Blueprint for the Future. As a retired teacher, I hear from active teachers regularly. They call me to talk about what is going on in their local school system and how things are going in their career. It’s always interesting…

President Donald J. Trump just signed a slew of executive orders that impacts every school system in Maryland. What we are about to explain applies to all counties across the state. We decided to use Worcester County to serve as an example of what we are about to reveal. Not only do they tout being the best performing school district in the state, they have also implemented several liberal policies and practices that defy common sense. Like most counties across Maryland, they have fostered a school climate centered on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) that has created a hostile…
