The current education system in the United States is increasingly misaligned with the needs of many Americans. This paper explores the shortcomings of our “federalist” approach to education, emphasizing how federal overreach and bureaucratic stagnation have hindered progress and outcomes.While federal involvement was intended to promote equity and accountability, it has often devolved into inflexible mandates and uniform policies that erode local autonomy and fail to address the unique needs of communities. These dynamics not only limit the ability of families to govern themselves but also weaken the cultivation of moral character, which is vital for personal and societal growth.Ray Nothstine is a Future of Freedom Fellow and senior editor and writer for State Policy Network, where he primarily helps to shepherd the American Habits publication. He previously worked as opinion editor at Carolina Journal and as a Second Amendment research fellow at the John Locke Foundation in Raleigh, North Carolina.Nothstine graduated with a Master of Divinity (M.Div) degree from Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. He also holds a B.A. in political science from The University of Mississippi in Oxford. He currently lives in North Carolina with his wife and three sons.

It's Friday, April 19th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus  North Korea's hatred of Christians North Korea's hatred of Christianity has condemned hundreds of thousands of Christians to death and left remaining believers fearful and hiding in the shadows, reports International Christian Concern. As the world's worst police state, North Korea crushes dissent and free expression. The majority of Christians are probably killed outright when captured, with the percentage possibly as high as 70%. Those not killed outright are thrown into the gulag, also known as the fiery furnace, never to return. Torture and starvation define the North Korean gulags. Located in remote mountains with extremely tight security, escape is almost impossible. Prisoners live on the edge of starvation, yet the system demands that prisoners farm, manufacture, raise animals, and do heavy mining and lumber harvesting. Romans 14:12 reminds us of the long-term view. Each of us, including these North Korean militants, “will give an account of himself to God.” Learn more about one defector named Shin Dong-hyuk, in an article at Reason.com, based on the book Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West. Not surprisingly, Open Doors lists North Korea as the #1 most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Israel retaliates against Iran Early Friday morning local time, Israel launched missiles in a retaliatory strike against Iran, a senior U.S. official told ABC News. The Iranian Mehr News Agency reported that flights to Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz had been suspended as of Friday morning, reports The Jerusalem Post. The missile launches follow Iran's attack last Saturday, where the country sent a volley of more than 300 uncrewed drones and missiles toward targets throughout the country. All but a few were intercepted. Google fires 28 workers for protesting $1.2 billion Israel contract Google has fired more than two dozen employees for protesting its $1.2 billion contract to provide the Israeli government and military with cloud and artificial intelligence services, reports NBC News. Twenty-eight people were fired after nine employees were arrested Tuesday night following a sit-in at the company's offices in Seattle, New York and Sunnyvale, California — including one nine-hour sit-in at Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian's office, according to the group that organized the demonstration called No Tech for Apartheid. High school student suspended for “illegal alien” phrase Using the term "illegal alien" is reportedly an infraction worthy of suspension in a North Carolina high school. Appearing on The Pete Kalliner radio Show in Charlotte, Leah McGhee described an incident in Central Davidson High School in Lexington where her 16-year-old son, Christian, was suspended for three days last week over that term, reports Fox News. LEAH: “The teacher was passing out the vocabulary words. One of the words was ‘alien' to which Christian raised his hand and was called on by the teacher.  Christian said, ‘Like space or illegal aliens who need green cards?' As soon as Christian said that one of the students in the class took offense and responded by saying that he was going to beat Christian up. “The teacher called administration because there was a disturbance in class. Administration came down, spoke with those boys in the hallway. Christian said. ‘I did not mean this in an offensive way' and the other student said he was just joking when he says that he was going to beat Christian up. It was resolved in the hallway.” Nonetheless, the principal insisted that the phrase “illegal alien” was racist. LEAH: “He was very taken aback why it was deemed racist. ‘Illegal alien' is a term that Christian can look up on the dictionary. It is a term used in our federal code. And it is a term that is heard frequently on many news broadcasts.” The teenager told the Carolina Journal, "I didn't make a statement directed towards anyone; I asked a question. I wasn't speaking of Hispanics.” Planned Parenthood killed 390,000 babies, got $700 million of tax money Planned Parenthood performed over 390,000 abortions while receiving nearly $700 million in tax funds, according to its latest annual report for 2022-2023. Naked man, claiming to be female, arrested at Planet Fitness And finally, a man, pretending to be a woman, was arrested for indecent exposure to a minor on April 4th around 6:30pm after he walked around naked in the women's locker room at a North Carolina Planet Fitness, reports The Christian Post.  Christopher Allan Miller, age 38, was reported to police as harassing women at the Gastonia Planet Fitness in North Carolina prior to entering the locker room.  The woman who called 911 told the dispatcher that the man who entered the women's locker room was “completely naked.” DISPATCHER: “And is that man still there?” 911 FEMALE CALLER:  “Yeah, he's still in the bathroom. It's a man, but he says he ‘identifies' as a woman and he won't leave the restroom. But he's just walking around and he won't leave.” On its website, Planet Fitness explains that all gym members “will have access to restroom and locker room facilities that correspond to their self-reported gender identity to the extent permitted by applicable law.” WSOC-TV talked with Betty Brice, a Planet Fitness member there, who took issue with the biological man being allowed in the women's locker room. BRICE: “I think a woman should be able to into the woman's bathroom without a man coming in and saying that he's transgender.” Thankfully, Miller was subsequently arrested and charged with indecent exposure to a minor. This North Carolina incident comes after an Alaskan Planet Fitness revoked Patricia Silva's membership after she posted several videos online about her encounter with a trans-identifying man shaving his face in the women's locker room.  The woman claimed that a 12-year-old girl, covered only by a towel, was inside the locker room while the man was present. Late last month, Planet Fitness Co-Founder Michael Grondahl criticized the gym franchise's policy of allowing men in women's locker rooms during an interview with the Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik.  GRONDAHL: “How we got here today is unfathomable to me.  I had realized that there was a[n] opportunity in the fitness industry to create a gym chain that would be primarily aimed at the beginner and the people who were intimidated by fitness centers and people who couldn't afford the cost. “Back in '97, we came up with Planet Fitness, the ‘judgment-free zone.' And now you fast forward to what's happening today. Judgment-free zone means that if you're a man, you can use the women's locker room. Just insane!” Isaiah 5:20 declares, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who  put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Friday, April 19th in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

You'll have to look long and hard to find someone who thinks that the American income tax system is fair. Most are convinced that they are paying too much while others are not paying enough. One thing is certain. The 70,000 plus pages of the tax code are chock full of loopholes, exemptions and favors that some people get and others don't.Just prior to the NC Republican convention, AFFT President Steve Hayes sat down for an interview on this subject with the Carolina Journal. FAIRtax Power Radio is pleased to revisit this interview which touches on several ways in which the FAIRtax is superior to the income tax.

The cycle of frenzy is odd. America right now is tense. Even its fried chicken is political.

For the second time in two years, Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden is being sued for delays in processing concealed handgun permits and pistol purchase permits. Carolina Journal reports: The second lawsuit and request for injunctive relief was filed by retired former N.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeals Judge Bob Hunter and N.C. Attorney Ron Shook in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of N.C. on behalf of Grassroots North Carolina (GRNC) and the Gun Owners of America (GOA) organizations. Andy Stevens and Bryan Yerke, spokesmen for plaintiffs GRNC and GOA, held a press conference at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse on Nov. 28 to address the latest lawsuit against McFadden. Sheriff McFadden was initially sued by GRNC and GOA in 2021 over the department's continued delay of gun permit issuances. The result of the litigation ended with McFadden agreeing to comply with state law regarding gun permit applications. In a statement to WSOC-TV, Sheriff McFadden admits he is sending all applications through the Veterans Administration - even though the VA reports information to the already-available NICS background check system. “At this time MCSO has not received service/notice pertaining to this alleged lawsuit. MCSO continues to remain in compliance with the Pistol Purchase Permits (PPP) and Concealed Handgun Permits (CHP) statue. The agency has 14-days to process a PPP and 45-days for a CHP once we have received all required paperwork, including ALL mental health releases. Applications are processed first in, first out, and unfortunately, the facilities do not send the releases back in chronological order. We have also found that not everyone discloses their military status on their application, so to be sure we are getting accurate information our process is to check everyone through the same facilities which include the VA. Since the beginning of the pandemic MCSO has implemented several changes to the process to be more efficient to include mailing permit(s) to customers to eliminate visits to the office. Last year the division also added two additional staff members. Within the last couple of weeks MCSO began using an interface between the state system and our permit vendor, Permitium to eliminate staff from having to do duplicate entry on new applicants.”      Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pat Harrigan is running for North Carolina's newly-drawn 14th Congressional District. The Republican says it's the latest in a "cascade of consequences" since his Democrat opponent, Jeff Jackson, began vicious and defamatory attacks on him. The Charlotte Observer reports: Harrigan's children were in the home at the time of the shooting, according to his campaign. The shooting was reported to police Oct. 19. No arrests have been made. No one was injured. The investigation is ongoing, said Kristen Hart, a spokeswoman for the Hickory Police Department. The bullet hit a window in the home's laundry room, according to the police report. Marla Harrigan, 74, told The Associated Press the shooting occurred late on Oct. 18 and Harrigan's children were upstairs at the time. The story was first reported by The Carolina Journal. Harrigan says Jackson's reckless rhetoric may have prompted a death threat against him and the attack on his parents' home. Jackson apparently gave the Charlotte Observer opposition research - including an interview Harrigan did in 2018 where he discussed the increase in AR-15 sales after Democrats talked about banning the rifles in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre. Jackson accused Harrigan of using the Sandy Hook massacre "as a business opportunity to sell more assault weapons."      Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Hood is an early pioneer in North Carolina's conservative movement. He helped found found three major conservative institutions — the John Locke Foundation, Carolina Journal, and the Civitas Institute — at a time when NC's politics was dominated by Democrats.  John takes us back to 1989 when he was fresh out of UNC and Art Pope had an idea on building a conservative infrastructure in NC.  We also learn about John's life growing up in Mecklenburg County, his love of books and tap-dancing, and how in 2012 a media firestorm put him on the opposite side of many conservatives in the state.   Skye and Brian also update listeners on legislative map-drawing 2.0, give insightful analysis on deals and no-deals on maps, and recount a past intern at New Frame and a practical joke played on him.   The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, and the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association.
