Why Does The NEA Love Jonathan Haidt? @JonHaidt - you claim that cell phones are the only plausible explanation for the massive decline in children's mental & emotional health and academics. ❓We have 3 questions for you❓ 1) Why do you have an SEL organization? 2) Why are you sponsoring ASCA's 2026 (and 2024 and 2025) Annual Conference? 3) Why is the NEA featuring your book? Are you still going to move forward in sponsoring ASCA? 🟥 ASCA is the biggest purveyors of transgender ideology, pronoun enforcement, and keeping secrets from parents. 🟥 ASCA copies their Student Standards Mindsets and Behaviors directly from the SPLC. 🟥 ASCA uses school guidelines from the Islamic group CAIR. Time Stamps: 00:00 - 01:34 : Two flaws in our brain 01:39 - 04:49 : Why does Jonathan Haidt constantly say he has not heard any other theories? 05:00 - 06:28 : He founded, "Let Grow", which pushes CASEL SEL. 06:29 - 08:33 : Why does Let Grow sponsor ASCA? 08:34 - 08:41 : Challenge to Jonathan Haidt. 08:42 - 09:30 : SPLC tactic? 09:31 - 10:37 : The NEA featured The Anxious Generation? 10:38 - 11:21 : We fully encourage parents to keep their children off social media for as long as possible. 11:22 - 11:39 : Lots of responsible and engaged parents. 11:40 - 12:08 : Blaming only cell phones is irresponsible, lazy and demeaning. 12:09 - 13:56 : Republicans, we fully get why blaming an inanimate object is so attractive.

Celeste gets low scores from conservative groups. I don't like the direction she is taking the Republican party. This is my summary of 5 of her votes. 1. Her vote to fund abortion, DIE, and pediatric gender affirming care, and many other measures added by senate democrats in to the appropriations bill. She could have voted with other republicans to support the Norman Amendment. 2. The Kill Switch. She voted with 57 Republicans and all 268 Democrats to fund Kill Switch research - also agains the amendment to remove funding for the Kill Switch. 3. She voted to move Nancy Mace's HR 1100 to the ethics committee rather than to support the resolution which would have disclosed the member of congress who have used taxpayer funds from the "slush fund" to silence victims. That fund was created for that exact purpose (yes, it is a real thing). 4. She voted against the amendment to remove legal immunity from Bayer and Syngenta - the manufacturer of pesticides using glyphosate. The farm bill was a good bill, this amendment made it so much better. The bill passed, despite Celeste voting against it - one of only 6 republicans to do so. 5. FISA - Maloy voted for the bill even though the amendment to require warrants to surveil Americans failed to pass. I also touch on the Trump endorsement that was given to all republican incumbents in 2025 before this race was even official. The other candidates for congress opted to minimize that endorsement for ethical reasons. Not Celeste, you have probably received a dozen mailers touting it, and with her $870,000 from the Chris Stewart Pack funded by Anthropic AI, you will see a whole lot more. Maybe that is why she is also pro data center regardless of transparency.

We talk about a lot in these spaces but I really want to talk about the June 23rd Utah Primary GOP elections and why they matter…. x.com/i/spaces/1qGoNNqZNXbKv

No one objects to teens learning how to shake hands or make eye contact. But why does every effort to teach "career skills" now require measuring, scoring, digitizing, and credentialing them? That's the tell. The common thread running through modern "soft skills", "durable skills", employability skills, and Portrait-of-a-Graduate initiatives is not merely career preparation. It's psychometric infrastructure. The labels change, but the objective remains consistent: make personal traits and dispositions visible and actionable at scale. These are the same "education reform" networks that built Common Core, funded and promoted by many of the same foundations, nonprofits, and policy groups. Parents and Teachers: pay attention to what they are building. #SELisHARM @Moms4Liberty @iamlisalogan @MonicaBWilbur @NatalieJCline @JulieABehling @kellyske @EDSecMcMahon @The74 the74million.org/article/mai…

My issue is this doesn’t go far enough It allows teachers/administrators to use a child’s “preferred” pronouns & name WITHOUT TELLING THE PARENTS as long as they don’t change it on a “school form” This reflects current Utah law so I don’t think it will change anything here

It's Nov. 19th—it's been 294 days since Utah passed a bill that lets men use women restrooms. Politicians aren't letting this happen in Washington DC, what in heck is wrong, Utah? Here's how Utahns got suckered into thinking that HB257 protects women & girls — a🧵

“My sixth grade students are enjoying something from a different culture. How can I wreck their innocent fun and make them miserable social justice warriors?”

Did you know P3 was a subsidiary of MIDA until 2024? Where do you think it went? Do you know there are lots of PIDs under MIDA. Lots of interesting stuff happening with those quasi-gov entities- or INDEPENDENT ENTITIES. Looks like the VID was used to change our form of gov.

Utah lost @donMiguelSLC, a strong school board candidate, and that loss should concern every Utah Republican who believes in fair elections and grassroots representation. The damage @MikeCarey4CC has done to this party is deeply troubling. A party chair should protect neutrality, encourage open debate, and give every candidate a fair playing field. Instead, we’ve witnessed the suppression of free speech, direct attacks on candidates, and a blatant disregard for impartiality. There is no need for opponents when you’re already being undermined from within your own party? Republicans deserve better. Our party should be a place where candidates are heard, delegates are respected, and the chair remains neutral. When internal power is weaponized against good candidates, the entire party pays the price. What did Salt Lake County expect from a Chair who is being sued for putting his hands down another man’s pants?
