Public education has become a nightmare that many are refusing to wake from.
Parents need to know that Portrait of a Graduate is a national program created by an Ohio-based company called Battelle for Kids. Portrait of a Graduate is being used to fundamentally transform the purpose of US education—shifting curriculum, assessment, school accountability and data collection away from academics and towards Social and Emotional Learning (SEL).

I think the shift in education has been a consistent shift in a focus away from discerning truth. Now we are focused, not…
Tomorrow, June 30, the Utah State Board of Education will debate this issue: What is the best way to prevent pornographic materials in the school? Two model policies have been proposed with two different visions on how to achieve this goal. The first version is called the Master Merged Draft, and it allows Utah’s 42-plus…
