I is for indoctrination. To celebrate Women’s History Month this month, West Springfield High School erected an alphabetized display in the school colors. A is for abortion. F is for feminism. J is for justice. Q is for queer. T is for trans women. W is for wage gap. Z is for male gaZe. You get the idea. “There is simply no defense for this display, which would be expected in the Democratic Party’s National Headquarters but not in a taxpayer-funded public school,” writes Stephanie Lundquist-Arora in The Daily Signal. “This display clearly encapsulates … the pressing need for school choice in America. Perhaps DEI should be rebranded Diversity, Equity & Indoctrination.

Speaking of equity… how about making kids walk to school? Faced with a shortage of school bus drivers, Charlottesville Public Schools in 2021 expanded the “walk zones” from a quarter mile to three-quarters of a mile. Walking is healthy, right? And buses emit CO2, right? But for some kids the trek can take half an hour, which in the cold and rain can be unpleasant. Now some parents are complaining, reports The Daily Progress. “The school system claims to be big on equity.… It feels hard for me to believe they are big on equity when the kids who need the most services don’t have a ride to school,” said one. “These kids are the ones who have the horrible attendance rates, and literacy rates are the lowest. You’re not even providing them a way to get to school to learn.”

Waaah.

So inclusive that she kicked her meds! After a year at the University of Virginia, Rebecca Fitch hadn’t found her niche. “At the end of my first year, it felt almost like UVA wasn’t for me,” she said. “I was just really depressed. I didn’t feel like I was making any friends, because I wasn’t. I didn’t feel like I had people who really cared about me.”

So, how did she finally find a sense of belonging?

Fitch enrolled in a class, Leadership and Decision-Making, without realizing that it meant enrolling in ROTC. She had no desire to join the army, but figured she’d go along with it for the semester. Turns out that her fellow cadets embraced her, and she discovered the joys of fitness. Weaning herself from anti-depressants, she stuck with the program, rising by her fourth year to battalion commander. Now she’s joining the Medical Service Corps. UVA Today tells the story.
