McKenna: Of our race-obsessed schools and special populations

Approved, Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice / / ,

The Cherry Creek School Board meeting in April featured a strategic plan update on special populations by Dr. Tony Poole. Those not steeped in the priorities of the school board and Superintendent Chris Smith might think it wise to fixate on “disproportionality” as Dr. Poole does; but that fixation does not seem to be improving proficiency in reading or math, where half the district’s students do not test at grade level. Or much else.

Reichert: The military’s biggest problem is readiness, not recruiting

Approved, Commentary, National / / ,

The ongoing military recruiting crisis has dominated headlines, with the Army, Air Force, and Navy all falling short of their goals last year. Concerns over readiness and talent attraction are widespread, even being a core focus of this year’s Heritage Foundation index of military strength. However, attributing the recruiting crisis to “woke culture” or inadequate benefits misses a more intuitive root cause: Without a just war to ignite our patriotism, Americans are not in a rush to enlist. But recruiting soldiers isn’t the real issue; it’s the readiness of our military infrastructure that should alarm us.

Barnhart: Why is no level of abortion ever enough?

Approved, Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice, State / / ,

We know that the multi-billion-dollar abortion industry makes its money from abortion, so we can follow the money. We know that taking the lives of innocent human beings is itself hellish and the practice demonic and an important ‘religious’ rite in satanic devil worship. We know that allowing such evil tears at the very fabric of a society, the family, and individual in ways that God has historically judged and dispossessed nations because of the horrible injustice of it.

Cooper: Is signature verification of mail-in ballots valid?

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, State / /

All mail-in voting systems use a process called signature verification to verify the person voting by mail is the voter registered to vote.  In Colorado this process is based on comparing the signature on the outer ballot envelope with the digital signature images in a database called SCORE.
