New rules for teenaged daughters

The UK Mail newspaper reports:

Would YOU let your teenage daughter sleep with a boyfriend in your home?

These middle-class mothers do. The alternatives, they insist, are even more worrying...

When Sarah Watts’s 16-year-old daughter Alicia asked if her boyfriend of three months could stay the night, she wasn’t outraged or upset. Instead, she responded in a way that would horrify many parents — she went out and bought Alicia a double bed so she could sleep with boyfriend Matt in comfort.

Now 17 and a sixth-former studying for A-levels, Alicia and Matt, an 18-year-old photographic student, spend many nights together under Sarah’s roof.

The arrangement is a far cry from the way Sarah, 46, conducted her own teenage relationships.

‘My father was very authoritarian and would never have let my boyfriends stay over,’ says the customer services advisor from Norwich. ...

Sarah has been divorced from Alicia’s father for six years and has an older daughter, Anna, 20, who moved out two years ago to live with her boyfriend. She has a close relationship with both daughters and would hate to think that they couldn’t confide in her.

‘It’s better to have an open relationship with your children and discuss things, rather than lay down the law about what they can and can’t do,’ says Sarah.

This is what happens when the father is no longer the head of the household.

Global Warming Approved by Ninth Circuit

The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is dominated by Democratic-appointed judges, and many of its decisions have been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Ninth Circuit is even more liberal than the Obama Administration. A unanimous Ninth Circuit panel struck down a plan by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to delist grizzly bears from the category of “threatened” species. Such delisting would give the government agency greater flexibility in addressing the growing grizzly population that has killed tourists and hikers in the northwest, and required euthanizing or removing 75 grizzly bears just last year.

GAO Gives Commercial Colleges a Failing Grade

The Obama Administration is determined not to cut a penny out of the billions of taxpayer dollars poured into our schools and colleges, even though they can't show any progress toward the designated goals established for the spending of that money. The government has just started to look at some areas of downright fraud in federal spending for education. The Government Accounting Office (GAO) just made a survey of 15 commercial colleges, using undercover investigators, and discovered a big variety of fraud, cheating and downright dishonesty.

Feminist Propaganda in College Textbook

A woman walked into my office recently and handed me the textbook her daughter was assigned for her "Women and Gender Studies" Course at the University of Missouri/St. Louis. I was shocked at this textbook and I'm going to share it with you. The title is Women's Voices, Feminist Visions by Susan M. Shaw and Janet Lee. This textbook is a collection of propaganda essays to sell students on radical feminism.

Women in Direct Military Combat?

U.S. law says that if the U.S. military plans to assign women to direct military combat, Congress must first be notified. The Obama Administration is scheming to find a way around this law and to send women into direct ground combat without telling Congress or the public. The push to get women in direct combat is not coming from the infantry women who would be involved; it's coming from feminists in Congress and outside groups who would never themselves be in combat. Women, of course, do a tremendous job in many military capacities, but pretending that women are identical to men, and can run as fast and carry the same load as the average man, and have the same upper-body strength, and can engage the enemy in one-to-one combat is downright ridiculous.
