Posted on January 9, 2016 by A.P. Dillon

An anonymous little birdie dropped this in my inbox last night. I reached out Mr. Diaz to authenticate and was told it was real. So I’m publishing it.
Glad to see someone being proactive about the Blueprint NC cabal and their obvious media ties and bias. For those interested after reading the letter below, here’s my archive on Blueprint NC.

NC Media Quote ‘Just A Teacher’ After Common Core Meeting – #ASRC

Posted on December 20, 2015 by A.P. Dillon

Folks in North Carolina know how Google challenged our media are. Friday’s reporting on the NC Common Core Commission was no exception.

Several outlets cited ‘Teacher Amanda Garrison’ as relieved that Common Core was ‘saved’ and at least one had video of her inaccurately disparaging the Minnesota math standards.

Quote from WNCN:

“It’s not been proven to be any better than what Common Core has to offer,” said Amanda Garrison, a Burke County teacher. “ I am a Common core advocate so I will say that I am against changing our standards for K-8.”

Dear Ms. Garrison, actually yeah – Minnesota does have proof – their test scores.

So what transgender case is blinkin’ Chris being obtuse about?

Jazz Jennings Shorter: How Dare Those Parents Actually Parent

Posted on December 6, 2015 by A.P. Dillon

I’ve been seeing this story about a ‘school’ who canceled a reading of Jazz Jennings book in my social media feeds. I finally decided to read one and just wow. The narrative was so thick you need a machete to cut through it.

The Advocate article also links to Jenning’s “eloquent column”. I read that too.
Let me summarize Jazz Jennings “eloquent column”: How dare those parents actually parent.

Ok, back to the Advocate column. This is a teachable moment in media bias, people, so let’s get our Political Correctness media checklist out.
