The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – The teachers were asked to assist in a student’s social transition by accepting a child’s assertion that he or she was the opposite gender.

Which side of the fight will you support?
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – In 1744, George Washington hand-copied the Rules of Civility, shaping his character and leadership.

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – “A growing number of high-profile cases suggest that diversity workshops and their supporting materials regularly promote questionable claims — particularly about the overarching, malicious character of the majority population.

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – It’s no wonder we are in a teen mental health crisis. Teens want truth, and they know when they are not getting it. Our leaders and media tell us the border is secure even though we are witnessing an invasion as a daily occurrence. They tell us that the melting ice caps are proof of climate change even though the ice caps are not melting. They tell us our economy is booming even though our pocket books speak otherwise. Give me a break…

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – While homeschool students continue to run circles around their public school counterparts, public school teacher Lynn Gray is “worried about many home-schooled kids’ academic preparation and lack of exposure to diverse points of view,” and that “home education should not be most families’ first choice.”
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – In a public school day of 6.5 hours, 4 hours are spent in academics, and researchers report students were only engaged in strategic learning behaviors for 67.5 minutes . . . thats only 16 minutes per hour of actively reading, writing, or talking about the subject matter.

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – “In the ongoing campaign to protect homeschool freedom, one of the most important fronts is state legislatures.
