Now Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) has succumbed to yet another non-academic fad called Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Parents are just waking up to SEL.

A Professor Of Military History Refuted The “Moderate” Taliban’s Allegations

quoting Victor Davis Hansonvia Texas News Today
Monday, September 27, 2021

Military history professor Victor Davis Hanson repelled the proposal that the Taliban were “gentle” and “kind” at the “American Newsroom” on Thursday, and terrorist groups were “drunk with the smoke of victory.” So I suggested that it was exactly the opposite. Experts went on to explain that after receiving $ 85 billion worth of US military training and equipment, the group was more dangerous and greedy than ever.
