How Activists Use Curriculum And Training To Embed Leftist Ideology In K–12 Schools

/0 Comments/in , /by

Activist organizations are developing curricula instructing teachers and students to be skeptical toward claims of antisemitism and sympathetic to pro-Palestinian causes, documents show.

Two pro-Palestinian organizations, Participatory Action Research Center for Organizing (PARCEO) and Project48, orchestrate programs and disseminate materials that blame “white nationalism” for antisemitism and ask participants to consider the “bad habit” of whiteness, documents obtained by Defending Education (DE) and shared exclusively with the Daily Caller News Foundation show. The activist programs are already finding their way into schools.

PARCEO “is a research, resource and education center” that partners with groups and institutions focusing on “educational justice; racial justice; workers’ rights; gender justice; challenging Islamophobia; immigrant rights; health and food justice, and more.” Project48 “was created to center Palestinians in the telling of their own history” and works to provide “educational material, eyewitness testimonies, images, videos and artifacts” to teach about “the ongoing Palestinian struggle against colonial erasure and the return of refugees to their ancestral lands.”

Both organizations have benefited from large, direct grants from Soros-linked Open Society foundations.

The two groups joined forces to create the Palestinian Nakba Curriculum, using the Arabic word for “Catastrophe” to refer to “the creation of Israel in 1948” and the following territorial struggle. The curriculum is meant to be used for “individual classes, for semester-long learning, as theme-specific modules, for presentations, and for workshops and webinars” and touches on topics such as “Settler Colonialism, Zionism, Refugees and Right of Return,” according to the Project48 website.

Ed Department: California Violated Family Rights Law By Secretly ‘Transitioning’ Students

/1 Comment/in , /by

The U.S. Department of Education found the California Department of Education (CDE) in violation of federal family rights law on Wednesday for facilitating the gender “transition” of children and hiding it from their parents.

California pressured school districts across the state to violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a student privacy and parental rights law, by forcing them to conceal student records from parents about their child’s so-called “gender transition,” according to a senior department official detailing the results of an investigation Wednesday.

“FERPA requires that schools provide access to all education records upon a parent’s request. Schools do not get to choose which records they feel like providing to parents and which ones they don’t,” the official said. “As Secretary McMahon stated last year, this is not only patently unlawful, but morally reprehensible. Children do not belong to the state. They belong to their parents. Parents must know about the most sensitive information pertaining to their child’s health and well-being.”

A Student Privacy Policy Office (SPPO) investigation found that at least 300 students in California were put on “‘gender support plans,’ many without parental consent or knowledge.” At CDE’s direction, school officials placed the “support plans” in “separate filing systems” to keep parents in the dark about the plans.

As The Federalist reported, school personnel are often some of the first and most influential people a student interacts with regarding confusion about sex and “gender,” and many push children toward “social transition” like name and pronoun changes, which often leads to destructive medical interventions.

Hazmat Crew Reveals What Liquid Attacker Sprayed on Rep. Ilhan Omar: Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The “foul” mystery brownish liquid US Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed with during a chaotic Minnesota town hall meeting late Tuesday is believed to have been apple cider vinegar.

Omar (D-Minn.) was hit with the kitchen staple when 55-year-old Anthony Kazmierczak allegedly stormed the podium as the lefty congresswoman was firing off an anti-ICE spiel, Alpha News reported, citing sources.

A hazmat team confirmed, too, that the syringe Kazmierczak allegedly used in the attack was filled with the vinegary substance, the outlet added.

Minneapolis Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw, who ended up being hit by some of the liquid, told The Post the stench was so bad she vomited.

“It smelled like vinegar or ammonia,” Vetaw said, adding that the odor was “overwhelming.” (Read more from “Hazmat Crew Reveals What Liquid Attacker Sprayed on Rep. Ilhan Omar: Report” HERE)

Costco Accused of Deceiving Shoppers Over Popular $5 Rotisserie Chickens

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Some Costco customers are crying fowl over the big-box chain’s popular $4.99 rotisserie chickens, saying they contain preservatives in spite of the company’s claims to the contrary, according to a new lawsuit.

Two California-based people say Costco “has systematically cheated” consumers “out of tens — if not hundreds — of millions of dollars” by advertising the poultry as being free of preservatives.

The class-action lawsuit, filed last week in San Diego federal court, alleges that Costco makes the claim despite the fact that the rotisserie chickens contain sodium phosphate and carrageenan.

Costco is also being accused of capitalizing on growing consumer demand for “clean label” and preservative-free products.

By marketing the chicken as a healthy option, the company allegedly induced millions of shoppers to purchase a product they would have otherwise avoided — all while concealing the true nature of the ingredients, it was alleged.

A spokesperson for Costco told The Post: “To maintain consistency among the labeling on our rotisserie chickens and the signs in our warehouses/on-line presentations, we have removed statements concerning preservatives from the signs and on-line presentations.” (Read more from “Costco Accused of Deceiving Shoppers Over Popular $5 Rotisserie Chickens” HERE)

Eating This Healthy Breakfast for Just Two Days Can Lower Your Cholesterol: Study

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

A powerful tool for your heart might already be hiding in the back of your pantry.

New research suggests that a short-term diet centered almost exclusively on a cheap, healthy breakfast staple can significantly lower cholesterol levels in just two days. . .

For the study, researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany recruited 32 men and women.

All the participants suffered from metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors including excess body weight, high blood pressure and elevated blood glucose and blood lipid levels. Together, these problems raise the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.

The researchers split the participants into two groups, with one instructed to eat oatmeal three times a day for two days. The oats were boiled in water, with the addition of small amounts of fruit or vegetables allowed.

In all, these participants ate about 300 grams of oatmeal per day and consumed roughly half their usual calories. (Read more from “Eating This Healthy Breakfast for Just Two Days Can Lower Your Cholesterol: Study” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police on Tuesday arrested dozens of anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protestors after the protest took over a New York City hotel lobby and obstructed pedestrian traffic.

The New York City Police Department responded to protestors entering the Hilton Garden Inn on Sixth Avenue in the Tribeca neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

Sunrise Movement, an activist leftist group, claimed that the hotel housed ICE officials.

The Sunrise Movement wrote, “BREAKING: 65+ New Yorkers have been arrested for occupying the lobby of a Hilton in NYC that’s housing ICE. Everyday people have the power to shut down ICE’s ability to operate. We are making it impossible for ICE to get a moment’s rest.”

The organization also shared a post on X that stated, “BREAKING: 100+ New Yorkers have taken over the lobby of a Hilton housing ICE agents. We won’t stand for a company that aids a fascist military killing and abducting our neighbors.”

Gavin Newsom Ignored Calls to Help Girl, 5, Left With Half a Skull in Crash Caused by Illegal Alien, Dad Says

/5 Comments/in , , /by

The heartbroken father of a 5-year-old girl who suffered life-altering injuries in a multi-vehicle pileup caused by an illegal-immigrant truck driver says Gov. Gavin Newsom has stonewalled the family’s desperate calls for help.

Dalilah Coleman, now 7, was left nonverbal and is relearning how to walk after her family vehicle was srtuck in a 2024 wreck by an 18-wheeler driven by Partap Singh, an illegal immigrant from India.

Singh, who had been given a commercial driver’s license by the state despite his immigration status, was speeding through a construction zone and failed to stop his truck for traffic, leading to the horrifying crash, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“When Dalilah’s accident first happened, I reached out to the governor’s office, via phone as well as email. I received nothing back at all,” Marcus Coleman said on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show.”

Singh entered the country illegally through the southern border in October 2022 but was released by the Biden administration. He was rearrested by ICE in August 2025 to face deportation proceedings.

This Common Condition Could Hide an Early Cancer Warning

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .A new study suggests a common eye condition could be quietly masking one of the only early warning signs of bladder cancer — the 10th leading cause of cancer deaths in the US.

Researchers found people with the visual impairment were more likely to be diagnosed at later stages, when the disease is harder to treat and survival odds nosedive.

“I’m hopeful that this study raises some awareness, not only for patients with color blindness, but for our colleagues who see these patients,” Dr. Ehsan Rahimy, adjunct clinical associate professor of ophthalmology at Stanford Medicine and senior author of the study, said in a news release. . .

It can be caused by several factors, but it’s most often the result of inherited genetic mutations that affect the retina’s light-sensitive cones. . .

The most common form of color blindness makes it difficult to distinguish between red and green — which past research shows can make it harder to detect blood in the urine. (Read more from “This Common Condition Could Hide an Early Cancer Warning” HERE)

‘Horrifying New Details’: Anti-ICE Agitators Blocked Stairs at Minnesota Christian Church So ‘Parents Were Unable to Get to Their Children’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It was one week ago when anti-ICE rioters stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, to disrupt a peaceful Christian worship service, terrorizing congregants and their children.

Now, what are being called “horrifying new details” are emerging that provide an even more disturbing picture of what actually took place.

Tyler O’Neil, senior editor at the Daily Signal posted on Sunday a series of excerpts from the probable cause affidavit prepared by Timothy Gerber, a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations.

“The invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought,” O’Neil began. “Agitators blocked stairs so ‘parents were unable to get to their children’ at Sunday School.

“One told a kid, ‘Do you know your parents are Nazis, they’re going to burn in hell?'”

Police Surrender Entire City Blocks To Lawless Rioters In Minneapolis

/9 Comments/in , , , /by

Local and state police allowed rioters to block roads and attack a hotel during demonstrations against immigration enforcement.

The Daily Caller News Foundation saw protesters block streets with objects on Saturday and crowd a block outside a hotel on Sunday and vandalize it with little law enforcement response for hours. Federal officials have publicly criticized what they see as a lack of local help in quelling the unrest, which escalated after immigration agents fatally shot two activists accused of impeding their operations on Jan. 7 and Saturday.

The Minnesota State Patrol (MSP) arrested three protesters on Friday at the Whipple Building in Minneapolis for alleged obstruction of legal process, unlawful assembly and public nuisance, an MSP spokesperson told the DCNF. They were released with citations. The agency also arrested one person on a riot charge in the area of 26th Street and Lyndale Avenue on Saturday.

The MSP did not report any other protest-related arrests in comments to the DCNF despite the barricades on Saturday and Sunday and the hotel riot. The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) and Minnesota’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.

The DCNF observed the crowd protesting at the hotel for more than two hours while blocking the road with debris. The MSP and DNR was about to “encircle the group for arrests,” but “federal agents arrived without communication and deployed chemical irritants, clearing the group,” the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) said in an X post.
