Americans oppose the federal policy of “catch and release” for migrants by 2:1, according to a new poll by Harvard-Harris. Almost 1,800 adults were asked , “Do you think that people who cross the border from Mexico illegally should be turned back to Mexico or released into the U.S. with a court date?” Sixty-seven percent said they should be “turned back to Mexico,” while 33 percent said they should be allowed into the United States pending court hearings on their asylum claims. The poll also asked, “Do you think that coming into the United States without any documentation should be a crime or not a crime?” The respondents split, 65 percent to 35 percent, with about two-thirds of respondents saying it should remain a crime. The survey was conducted February 23 to 25, shortly after President Joe Biden’s deputies began welcoming Central American migrants who had been sent back to Mexico by former President Donald Trump’s Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program.

Woke K-12 ‘Action Civics’ Initiative Called ‘GOP Suicide’
The same Washington establishment that championed the Common Core standards and encouraged more federal involvement in education has endorsed a civics initiative that seeks to indoctrinate K-12 students into woke “action” political organizing, under the guise of restoring “unity.” In an op-ed Monday in the Wall Street Journal , six former U.S. education secretaries, three Democrats and three Republicans, endorsed a civics initiative that, they claim, will help instill in American students an understanding of U.S. History that is “complete and honest.” Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, who extensively investigated the Common Core standards and the revised Advanced Placement U.S. History curriculum, wrote at National Review, the “Educating for American Democracy” (EAD) initiative is essentially “dominated by the woke Left, with a sprinkling of conservatives designed to create the illusion of bipartisanship.” Kurtz said the adoption … [Read more...] about Woke K-12 ‘Action Civics’ Initiative Called ‘GOP Suicide’
In America, women are frontliners of change
They say that “Behind every successful man, there is a strong woman.” They’re wrong. The truth is, behind any successful community — any successful people, or any successful nation — there are countless unheralded and unnamed strong women. All of us have witnessed women standing in the gap and on the front lines, molding and shaping the moments of our lives. As Women’s History Month unfolds, we should pause to consider how women in America have helped to shape our history, individually and as a nation. I think about my grandmothers. Both were sharecroppers who lost their husbands at an early age. They spent their lives picking other people’s cotton and cleaning other people’s houses. Despite their constant struggles, they managed to raise their own children, their grandchildren — and other people’s children. ADVERTISEMENT My grandmothers were frontliners of change. I think about my mother working two jobs for most of my childhood, never letting us see her worry about … [Read more...] about In America, women are frontliners of change
