In this explosive talk, Alex Newman exposes the insanity that has taken over the public school system. From the sexualization of children and the reshaping of values to deliberate dumbing down, Alex shows how dangerous this threat is — not just to our children, but also to the future of faith, family, and freedom — and what every American can do about it.

  • The Spirit of Democratic Socialism
    The Spirit of Democratic Socialism Paul Kengor PhD “Democratic socialism” is all the rage nowadays. It is framed as a new smiley-faced “socialism.” Those who support it hasten to add that they are “democratic socialists,” as if that sounds or feels better. And yet, groups like the Democratic Socialists of America, the home of democratic socialism in America today—whose members include the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—refer to itself on its website as “the largest socialist organization in the United States.” Even then, with the rise in the attractiveness of “democratic socialism” has come a subsequent rise in the appeal of socialism generally. For a solid decade now, younger Americans in particular have been telling pollsters they favor socialism over capitalism. The surge in interest has been steadily growing, particularly since the Obama era. In retrospect, a turning point came in 2011, when a major study by Pew Research Center found that 49% of Americans aged 18-29 have a positive view of socialism, exceeding the 46% with a positive view of capitalism.1 In 2014, a survey by Reason Magazine and the Rupe Foundation did a deeper dive. It found that 53% of those aged 18-29 view socialism favorably.2 Not long after that survey, Gallup turned up a gem, learning that 69% of Millennials said they would be 1 “Little change in public response to ‘capitalism, ‘socialism,’” Pew Research Center, December 28, 2011, posted at https://www.people-press.org/2011/12/28/little-change-in-publics-response-to-capitalism-socialism/. 2 See: Emily Ekins,

  • Honoring the Innocence Project the Innocence Project Will Receive the Eugene V
    PO BOX 9454 • TERRE HAUTE INDIANA 47808-9454 Spring/Summer 2021 Honoring The Innocence Project The Innocence Project will receive the Eugene V. Debs Award on October 23, 2021. Originally scheduled for 2020, the Award event was postponed until 2021 due to the dangerous and uncertain conditions in the world and the U.S. created by the pandemic. The Award ceremonies will be a virtual event. The Debs Foundation is working with the Innocence Project to create a program that celebrates the extraordinary efforts that have contributed to the exoneration of more than 230 innocent people through DNA testing and other means. In addition to freeing the innocent, the Innocence Project works to address the leading causes of wrongful convictions and prevent future injustices through the courts, the legal system and legislatures throughout the country. Its social work department also provides support to exonerees as they rebuild their lives post-release. The connections between the foundation and the Innocence Project are profound. Gene Debs was put in prison in Woodstock, Illinois, following the Pullman Strike and decades later in the Atlanta Federal Prison for speaking out against the role of the U.S. in the First World War. While in the Atlanta Prison he ran for President of the United States on the Socialist Party ticket and received over a million votes. After Debs’ death, his family published Walls and Bars, a collection of essays exposing the conditions of the U.S. penal system of a hundred years ago. The Innocence Project is an essential component in the current struggle to ensure justice for all.

    HAVE YOU BEEN TO JAIL FOR JUSTICE? (Anne Feeney) You got to laugh when the spirit says laugh! Was it Cesar Chavez? Or Rosa Parks that day? You got to laugh . etc. Some say Dr. King or Gandhi that set them on their way Chorus No matter who your mentors are it's pretty plain to see That, if you've been to jail for justice, you're in good You got to dance . etc. company Chorus Chorus You got to sing . etc. Have you been to jail for justice? I want to shake your hand Chorus Cause sitting in and lyin' down are ways to take a stand Have you sung a song for freedom? or marched that picket You got to shout . etc. line? Chorus Have you been to jail for justice? Then you're a friend of mine You got to bid . etc. Chorus Chorus You law abiding citizens, come listen to this song You got to do when the spirit says do! Laws were made by people, and people can be wrong You got to do when the spirit says do! Once unions were against the law, but slavery was fine When the spirit says do, you’ve got to do, oh Lord! Women were denied the vote & children worked the mine The more you study history the less you can deny it You got to do when the spirit says do A rotten law stays on the books til folks like us defy it Chorus You got to do when the spirit says do Chorus WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED (originally by The Seekers The law's supposed to serve us, and so are the police – adapted by many) And when the system fails, it's up to us to speak our peace It takes eternal vigilance for justice to prevail So get courage from your convictions We shall not, we shall not be moved.
