You’ll Never Believe Why a Toddler Was Kicked Out of Nursery School

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about how new parents in New Jersey were forced to fill out a form about whether or not their hours-old infant was gay, straight, transgender, genderqueer, etc. I didn’t think I would find a story to top that, but this one out of the United Kingdom comes close.

What are some reasons kids typically get kicked out of preschool or daycare? I worked at one while I was in high school and college, and the two main reasons I remember were either behavior problems or health risks. There was this little boy who loved to bite anyone he could put his little mouth on, and while he didn’t get kicked out per se, his parents did get a lot of warnings. There was another incident in which we had a little boy who ran a high fever and cried constantly, and his mother got to a point where she didn’t really want to do anything about it because we were disrupting her job. Don’t get me started on that lady…

However, I don’t remember “transphobia” being a reason, though this was back in the early 2000s when we were all still a little sane. But that’s the case for a nursery school student in the U.K. — we’re talking a kid between the ages of three and four.

The U.K.’s Department for Education (DfE) keeps data on why students are removed from government schools, and it looks like homophobia and transphobia were added to the list of potential reasons during the 2020-21 academic year. That data reveals that during the 2022-2023 school year, one child in that age range was removed for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity.”

Does a three-year-old even know what sexual orientation is? And isn’t that the beauty of the innocence of being three years old? You’re more likely to hate someone because they won’t let you have a cookie than you are because they feel the need to tell you their pronouns.

Desperate Russia Will Pay Schoolgirls $1,200 to Have Children to Boost Birth Rates in Wake of Ukraine War Meat Grinder

Russian authorities are offering to pay schoolgirls $1,200 to have children in a desperate attempt to boost the country’s birth rate after it lost a reported quarter of a million soldiers in the Ukraine War meat grinder.

School-age girls in the western Russian region of Oryol, some 200 miles south of Moscow and close to the Ukraine border, are the first in Russia to receive the payment if they have children.

From this year, girls in “full-time education,” will be eligible for the one-off payment of 100,000 rubles ($1,200), Oryol’s regional Governor Andrei Klychkov announced in a statement.

The region is already one of 40 in Russia that offer payment to female university students who have children, but on Thursday, Governor Klychkov extended the program to school-age girls in a statement on the region’s website.

“On Amending the Decree of the Governor of the Oryol Region dated December 12, 2024, No. 717 ‘On Establishing a One-Time Cash Payment upon Registration for Pregnancy for Women Studying Full-Time, Residing in the Territory of Oryol Region, in 2025-2027,’” the statement read.

Illegal Aliens Arrested for Allegedly Molesting Minor on Cruise; DHS Sec. Noem Says One Has HIV

Florida police said that two illegal aliens were arrested on Friday for allegedly molesting a teenager on a Royal Caribbean cruise off the coast of Miami.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that one of the illegal aliens has an HIV infection and that officials are working on deporting both.

“One of them has HIV. Both have ICE detainers on them. We WILL get these sickos out of our country,” she posted on social media.

Jose Prudencio Diaz, 36, and Ricardo Daniel Mondragon Leal, 37, are alleged to have exposed themselves to a 14-year-old boy on the Independence of the Seas cruise, according to a report from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

The victim told police he was in a sauna with the pair when they began to masturbate in front of him and then forced him to touch them. Police said Leal then forced the boy to perform a sex act.

Malpractice Lawsuit: Woman Hospitalized After Abortionist Left Baby Body Parts In Her Abdomen

An unnamed woman is suing an Illinois abortionist for malpractice after she allegedly suffered from severe and potentially life-threatening complications from a late-term abortion at his hands in 2023.

In a legal complaint filed on March 21, “Jane Doe” claims Keith Reisinger-Kindle of Equity Clinic in Champaign, Illinois performed a two-day dilation and evacuation abortion that, unbeknownst to the woman on the table, perforated her uterus, failed to remove all of the dead baby’s body parts from her body, and left her with “irreversible suffering and emotional damages.” Kindle, who allegedly did not administer drugs to stop the child’s heart in utero, supposedly dismembered the baby alive.

The woman, who was 22 weeks pregnant at the time, was technically eligible for a no-questions-asked late-term abortion due to Illinois’ radical abortion permissions.

In fact, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker had just endorsed the radical expansion of abortion and created carve-outs shielding abortionists a few months prior to the problematic procedure named in the complaint. Pritzker’s sweeping declaration comes in addition to Illinois’ lack of abortion facility regulation.

However, the unnamed woman did not, as outlined in the complaint, escape the physical, emotional, and mental harm known to accompany abortion. (Read more from “Malpractice Lawsuit: Woman Hospitalized After Abortionist Left Baby Body Parts In Her Abdomen” HERE)

Human Intelligence Sharply Declining

No, it’s not just you — people really are less smart than they used to be.

As the Financial Times reports, assessments show that people across age groups are having trouble concentrating and losing reasoning, problem-solving, and information-processing skills — all facets of the hard-to-pin-down metric that “intelligence” is supposed to measure.

These results, the FT reports, are gleaned from benchmarking tests that track cognitive skills in teens and young adults. From the University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future study documenting concentration difficulties of 18-year-old Americans to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) that measures the learning skills of 15-year-olds around the world, years of research suggest that young people are struggling with reduced attention spans and weakening critical thinking skills.

Though there has been a demonstrably steep decline in cognitive skills since the COVID-19 pandemic due to the educational disruption it presented, these trends have been in evidence since at least the mid-2010s, suggesting that whatever is going on runs much deeper and has lasted far longer than the pandemic.

Obviously, there’s no single answer as to why people seem to be struggling with cognitive skills, but one key indicator is the sharp decline in reading and the world’s changing relationship to the way we consume information and media. In 2022, for example, the National Endowment for the Arts found that just 37.6 percent of Americans said they’d read a novel or short story in the year prior — a share down from 41.5 percent in 2017 and 45.2 percent in 2012.

University Human Rights Fellow Convicted For Having A Slave

A British jury convicted United Nations Judge Lydia Mugambe on Thursday of forcing a Ugandan woman into domestic servitude after luring her to the U.K. under false pretenses.

Mugambe, who also serves as a high court judge in Uganda, brought the victim to Britain under the guise of securing her a job in a diplomatic household — only to make her work as an unpaid maid and nanny. She confiscated the victim’s passport and visa, leaving her trapped until she was able to contact a friend, who alerted authorities, according to a Thames Valley Police statement.

“Lydia Mugambe used her position to exploit a vulnerable young woman, controlling her freedom and making her work without payment,” Eran Clutliffe, an attorney for the Crown Prosecution Service’s Special Crime Division, said.

The 49-year-old judge, who was studying for a doctorate at the University of Oxford at the time, according to her profile on the U.N.’s website, was found guilty on four charges, including forced labor, an immigration offense and conspiracy to intimidate a witness. Mugambe is also listed on Columbia University’s website as a fellow in their human rights program. Prosecutors argued she “exploited and abused” the victim’s lack of knowledge about her rights to keep her in a state of servitude.

Governor Supports Bill Replacing ‘Mother’ With ‘Inseminated Person’

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) supported a Democrat Senate bill that would replace the word “mother” with the word “inseminated person,” and replace the word “husband” with the word “spouse.”

Dan O’Donnell, the host of the Dan O’Donnell Show shared an excerpt of Senate Bill 45, Section 3106, which also replaces the words “man” and “wife” for “person.” The bill, introduced on Friday, is about “state finances and appropriations, constituting the executive budget act of the 2025 legislature,” according to WSAU News.

According to the Wisconsin State Legislature website, 2025 Senate Bill 45 was “Introduced by Joint Committee on Finance.”

“Democrat Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has introduced a bill that will change state law to replace the word ‘mother’ with ‘inseminated person,’” O’Donnell wrote in a post on X.

No, Choosing Family Over Career Isn’t ‘Settling For Less’

Megyn Kelly made a pronouncement on X this week: “Ladies, it is possible to make your own money, have your own career, pay for your own swanky nyc apartment (etc), AND find a man who loves you, wants to have & raise kids w/you & wants to be w/you and only you. The only thing stopping you? Your decision to settle for less.”

Kelly is clearly referring to herself here, implying: I did it, so you can too. It goes to show how remarkably out of touch women in the media are, no matter what their politics may be. As one X commenter named “Wandering Warrior” noted, “Normally, Megyn, I absolutely love everything you do. But I’m going to have to fundamentally disagree with you on this. You’re a 1%. Doug knows it as well. Acknowledge this and tell the majority of women that the ability to do what you’ve done is extremely RARE.”

The last thing American women need is more life advice from the media elite. Far too many variables exist to make a blanket statement about love and career like, “Don’t settle.” Women have been saddled with some version of this narrative for decades, and the inflated expectations they consequently adopted landed them right where they are today: chronically unhappy, frustrated, and disappointed.

Newsflash, but most women don’t want Megyn Kelly’s life, and those who do need to know the trade-offs involved. The average woman in America who wants both a career and a family needs advice that actually works and acknowledges the biological differences between women and men that make their choices unique.

The details of a woman’s life matter in these discussions. For example, technically I have a career. I make my own money. I also have a man who loves me, wanted kids with me, and wants to be with me and only me. (We’re empty nesters now.)

School District Defies Trump Orders, Won’t Tell Parents If Children Identify As Transgender

A Virginia school district insists it will not tell parents if a child begins identifying as a different gender, despite the Trump administration’s warning that schools promoting gender ideology will lose their federal funding.

Albemarle County Public Schools in Charlottesville sent an email to parents on February 3 reminding them about the district’s transgender and anti-racism policies. The transgender policy states that students are “not required to obtain parental consent” to be called a new name and pronoun by teachers and school staff, who are expected to “honor” the student’s request.

“School administration will not contact a student’s parents in relation to such a request unless asked to do so by the student,” the policy reads.

“Recent events have highlighted the importance of standing together against bullying, harassment, and discrimination,” Dr. Daphne Keiser, Assistant Superintendent for School Community Engagement wrote to families.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month warning that schools promoting ideas like Critical Race Theory or gender ideology would see their federal funding stripped. Another executive order bans trans-identifying males in girls’ sports by threatening to rescind funds from schools that allow them to.

Ex-Student Who Impregnated Teacher at 13, Now an Adult, Wants Her Sexual Assault Charges Dropped: ‘I Started Everything’

An alleged sexual assault victim — who reportedly was only 13 years old when he impregnated his teacher during an illicit relationship — has come forward to call for the child sex crimes charges against the New Jersey woman to be dropped, according to a report.

The Daily Mail said it spoke to the former student — who is now an adult — and noted that he indicated that criminal charges against his former teacher should be dropped.

“They need to drop all charges,” the alleged victim said. “I wasn’t groomed or raped or manipulated by her. She never initiated anything. I started everything.” . . .

His former teacher — 34-year-old Laura Caron — delivered a baby in 2019.

Caron is a fifth-grade teacher at Middle Township Elementary School, which is located in the community of Cape May Court House on the southernmost tip of New Jersey.

Caron taught the alleged victim and his brother, according to police. (Read more from “Ex-Student Who Impregnated Teacher at 13, Now an Adult, Wants Her Sexual Assault Charges Dropped: ‘I Started Everything’” HERE)
