  • Racism perpetuated by policy in schools

    Mark Miloscia, Family Policy Institute of Washington|Updated Mar 31, 2022

    The cult of social justice is perpetuating racism in the Clover Park School District with a new student discipline policy requiring staff to consider a student’s race and background before determining their punishment. Instead of disciplining students consistently based on conduct, as justice would require, it is mandating discrimination based on race. In other words, skin color determines whether one receives easy or harsh punishment for the same offense. Isn’t this the textbook definition of racism? This is happening in sch...

  • Covid mandate protests erupt statewide

    Mark Miloscia|Updated Sep 3, 2021

    It’s clear: Parents in Washington are sick of their children being used as pawns by radicals in power who wish to destroy family, children and faith. Widespread protests against mask mandates at school and vaccine mandates at work have erupted statewide, with many calling out Gov. Jay Inslee for his aggressive misuses and abuses of emergency powers. This has largely been a fight for religious freedom and individual liberty, but it is creeping onto another deeply disturbing frontier — the fight for parental rights. The see...

  • Parents voice opposition to CRT taught in schools

    Mark Miloscia, Family Policy Institute of Washington|Updated Jul 21, 2021

    Last week, the largest teacher’s union in the country announced that it will conduct opposition research with regard to the growing grassroots campaign to stop Critical Race Theory from being forced on schoolchildren. This very demographically diverse group of angry activists, mostly composed of concerned parents, showed up vocally, passionately and totally unexpected at local school boards nationwide. They shocked the professional liberal elite and National Education Association leaders all across the nation. Clearly, p...

  • Why is the state Legislature still locked down?

    Mark Miloscia, Family Policy Institute|Updated Apr 15, 2021

    The world is beginning to unfreeze after more than a year of physical and economic lockdowns. Many states have ended mask mandates, citing increasing vaccinations and decreasing cases. Others are allowing normal activities to resume. By and large, it seems as though America is ready to turn a corner and return to normal life. That is unless you’re in Washington. As our state Legislature moves closer and closer towards the conclusion of its 2021 session, the Capitol in Olympia still sits in total lockdown, surrounded by a f...

  • All churches should be open

    Mark Miloscia|Updated Sep 30, 2020

    About 800 miles south of my office, the leaders of North Valley Baptist Church in Santa Clara, Calif., are no doubt having conversations about how to move forward. The church, which was mandated to close and remain closed earlier this year due to California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Santa Clara county’s decrees, chose not to comply. After moving ahead with what they believed was the mission of the church, they are now faced with more than $52,000 in fines from various g...
