Hello Everyone, students, Rams, people, They / them / theirs /Ze / hir / hir and Nige. I am so pleased to see all you deplorables this Sunday afternoon ready to learn how to use inclusive language. Today the lesson is about drugs and addiction. The word Addicted and the phrase, Like Crack can
I often describe Tasmanian politics as a cross between a small-town Rotary Club and a special school. We make the shenanigans of the kidults in the Beehive look like the acme of cosmopolitan sophistication, by contrast. Worse, thanks to an electoral system every bit as arcane as New Zealand’
Researchers at Otago University have made the following startling discovery…Trans women AKA Fake women AKA Men have a “physiological advantage over real women.” The rules which allow trans women to compete in elite women’s sporting divisions need to change because trans women have a physiological advantage, University of
Yesterday I shared with you all an e-mail from Otago University academics, Kevin Clements and Kieran Ford. They wanted to interview our team members and felt that our “participation would make a fantastic contribution to the project.” We disagreed and thanks to our amazing research team, AKA Sally we
Anti-Semitism is so hot, right now. The political left is obsessed with hating the Jewish state with fanatical zeal. Even the BBC is starting to notice that the British Labour party has a bit of a problem with “the Jews”. Immigration New Zealand notoriously erased Israel from its map.
The Explorer is a Rudyard Kipling (as in The Jungle Book, etc) poem of discovery adventure and life purpose … except if you are an over the top and fully invested lefty attached to chasing every car going. Unfortunately, if such types are teachers they have influence over young and vulnerable
After lagging for many years, Tasmanian students have only recently begun to improve their school results in comparison to their Mainland peers. There are several reasons for this: for instance, an economy that had long prioritised low-skilled rural jobs. But what hasn’t helped has been recent decades in
When the Ramsay Centre for Western Civilisation, the legacy of billionaire philanthropist Paul Ramsay, attempted to establish a university course in the study of Western civilisation, academics predictably erupted in a sector-wide fit of foaming outrage. Trotting out all their well-worn, right-on epithets, the gibbering loons of
Walter Gratzer’s The Undergrowth of Science is a remarkable and disturbing book which shows the depth of delusion and self-deception that plagues even the scientists. Science may be the most rigorous tool yet developed by humans for understanding the natural world, yet even it is not immune to
Australian Nobel Prize-winning scientist Peter Doherty sees no inherent contradiction between religion and science, a view likewise espoused even by Galileo. Despite this, many lesser scientific minds, especially of the media-tart “pop-sci” variety, seem to imagine that it’s their scientific mission statement to attack and disparage
Below is an outstanding video. The lyrics were written by Middle School West Auckland students. It is their response to the bullying that goes on in some schools and society. Fender Maeve worked with them to create this catchy and important message in a song called Hopeful. The students in
I recently wrote that the imposition of the “Safe Schools” gender indoctrination program has not been correlated with a reduction in school bullying – its purported raison d’etre. In fact, the opposite may well be true. The statistics are of dubious provenance, but there are claims that bullying has actually
It was two years ago that Jim Goad warned us to “expect a lot of crying” as the intolerant nuttiness of transgender ideology foisted itself on women’s sport like an uninvited penis in the girls’ locker room. And so it has come to pass. A bunch of American high
The Jesuits famously knew the value of getting their ideological hooks into kids at an early age. So did the Nazis with their Hitler-Jugend. The two great Cassandras of totalitarianism, Orwell and Huxley, also recognised authoritarian regimes’ determination to “get ‘em young”. “We had Elementary Sex for the first
I was out in the garden yesterday and overheard two little kids, a brother and sister I think, having a very animated and enthusiastic discussion. The little chap was about 5 and his older sister the grand old age of about 7. The little brother was waxing lyrical about his
When I was growing up, the entrance to our city library was faced by an enormous monumental wall emblazoned with Thomas Carlyle’s great epigram: “All that mankind has done, thought, gained, or been is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books”. From the earliest age, that
