These kids care about their health and the health of all their classmates. They protested, got suspended, got press, and MADE A DIFFERENCE!

This case is just wrong. Kids should be able to choose their books at school and at the library. The parents and the administrators here are in the wrong. Let the kids read, especially if it’s a book that has won awards and can teach things and not just a book […]

I have heard a lot of liberal and progressive adults say that is is indecent and wrong to criticize 12-year-old boys. I disagree. There are a lot of reasons why you might criticize 12 year-old boys. Some of them don’t shower often enough and they have terrible table manners and their […]

I am getting my driver’s license soon, but I won’t have access to a car very often. I take the bus or walk most places, and I know my way around here pretty well. (Sometimes I get rides.)
