From Channel One to Total Silence

I remember sitting in my middle school classroom following the 9/11 era, watching Channel One News. Even then, there was likely a layer of propaganda, but at least we were given a window into the world. Today? Our schools are often so preoccupied with being “politically correct” that our adolescents aren’t getting news coverage at all.

​I believe my kids deserve to know what is happening globally. I want them to have the tools to recognize a narrative when they see one, so they aren’t fed lies as they learn history.​

​The Moral Failure of the “World Police”

Look at the current war in Iran. While we are told the U.S. involvement is necessary, we are seeing the “double tap” strike in Tehran that took the lives of nearly 200 innocent children at a girls’ school. Enough is enough!

We are labeled as the “World Police,” yet our track record is devastating:​

• The Double Standard: We see Iran labeled as “terrorists” for defending themselves against surrounding pressures, yet the mass slaughter and starvation of hundreds of thousands of civilians in Gaza is framed as “defense.”​
• The Moral Rot: Look at the disaster in Afghanistan. Our military was told to look away while the very people we put in power practiced bacha bazi—the horrific abuse of young boys—because it was “part of the culture.” The irony? The people we were fighting were actually the ones standing against that demonic practice. Not defending the Taliban, but rather pointing out the rot in our own leadership.​

Why does America decide to be the “moral compass” in other countries when our own government is running cover for elite pedophiles here at home? I will NOT stop being OUTRAGED about Epstein and the records that are still being blocked from the public eye.​

The American worldview must shift. On a global scale, we are no longer seen as the “good guys.” Our perception is being tarnished by unjust casualties and unnecessary involvement in conflicts that benefit interests other than our own.​

The Iowa Gag Order: Senate File 2336

While we watch these global tragedies unfold, our own state leaders are moving to make sure you can’t even talk about them in a classroom.​

As the Senate prepares for a floor vote on SF 2336, much of the coverage has focused on the definitions of antisemitism. However, as an educator turned SAHM, I’ve had a “bird’s eye view” of the implications this bill has for our classrooms, and it’s a story I don’t think is being told yet…​

This bill is a DEI reporting mandate in disguise.​

Under this bill, teachers risk being flagged and reported to the Governor for teaching historical facts or questioning foreign spending. Students face state-level “incident reporting” for expressing political views on foreign policy that would otherwise be protected by the First Amendment.

​Just this week, we saw reports of a U.S.-Israeli missile strike in Iran that killed a 3-day-old baby and his family as they slept. Under the language of SF 2336, an Iowa teacher or student who mourns that child or questions the military alliance behind that strike could be reported to the state.​

If we are allowed to criticize our OWN country—and every other country on earth—why are we being legally barred from criticizing this ONE country?

​I believe this bill is a dangerous overreach that mirrors the very “social engineering” Iowans were promised would be removed from our schools. It is an attempt to codify a “protected class” for a foreign lobby at the expense of our own children’s right to see the world as it actually is.​

Raising the Next Gen for Truth

I refuse to let my children be blinded by the propaganda machine that refuses to report the facts. I will make sure they know the truth—even when it’s uncomfortable. Because if we want to lead one day, we have to be willing to see the world as it actually is. 🌍💔

​Once you figure out who you aren’t allowed to criticize, you realize exactly who is in control. 👁️

⚠️ Don’t let the Gag Order pass. > Call the Iowa Senate Switchboard at (515) 281-3371 and tell them to vote NO on Senate File 2336. Tell them Iowa teachers and students aren’t interested in a foreign DEI reporting mandate.
