Opinion
The Biden-Harris administration aided and abetted the invasion of between 10 and 25 million illegal aliens. They are settling huge numbers of these foreigners in key swing states in order to turn them solidly blue.
When considering these perspectives – from Graham’s moral divide to Savage’s cultural conflict, King’s economic inequality, and Pew’s data on political polarization – the idea of "Two Americas" is not just a rhetorical flourish. The nation is grappling with profound and multifaceted divisions that span morality, economics, race, politics, and culture.
Many people have declared that there are battles we are facing from forces that want to erase religion, faith, family, and morality from our culture. What are the replacements these forces are pushing on us? Here are a few: LGBTQ is normal, the transgender movement is good, marriage can mean anything as long as love is involved, sexual boundaries mean nothing, harm to children is secondary to the mission of destroying the family, and the schools and “healthcare” industry take precedence over parents and their permission.
Editorial
Can someone please explain how the continuous harassment of college trustees coupled with the fear-mongering over accreditation by Hazel and SaveNIC et al. furthers “the common good and general welfare of the people" in our beloved North Idaho community?
Over the course of the last four years, I have watched myriad events unfold at North Idaho College. For those who watched it all closely, it has been a case study of injustice. Every manner in which a person or group can deal unjustly with another has been on full display. This includes behavior by faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, management, the accreditation agency, state education entities, attorneys, students, city council-members, local media, the courts, political activists, and community members.
Board governance is certainly the focus of the NWCCU concerns; however, it applies to the full board and its relationship with the college president. This includes the actions taken by both the appointed trustees and the elected trustees who have been graced with SaveNIC’s stamp of approval.
North Idaho College
I have reviewed the preliminary findings of the accreditation teams' most recent visit to North Idaho College. I look forward to seeing the report released. The report documents the good work of the Board of Trustees, administration, and faculty, and it provides constructive feedback. While the details of this report are currently confidential and I am bound by ethics to maintain its confidentiality until the public release, it seems there's some misinformation being spread by liberal activists regarding the content of the document. My goal is to address these inaccuracies and provide you clarity with the facts.
The American Family
The family migrated by covered wagon to Humptulips, which is a Salish word meaning “hard to pole.” Living near her paternal grandparent’s farm was a delight for young Ruby. “I shot my first gun at four years old. My uncle held the rifle, and I pulled the trigger. We shot at Campbell’s soup cans. He was a World War II veteran who fought with Patton.”
