Former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo didn’t listen to Dr. Zev Zelenko about Covid-19. Don’t be a Cuomo. Dr. Zelenko’s new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals come highly recommended by many doctors.
Harvard’s Graduate School of Education (GSE) will offer 190 classes during the Spring 2022 semester. A few classes are what you would expect: instruction in quantitative analysis, classroom management, and basic pedagogy among them.
But many others are not. One class is titled “Native Americans in the 21st Century: Nation Building,” and makes no attempt to relate itself to most American classrooms. Another, called “Education on the Move: Recentering the Body and Movement In Teaching & Learning,” asks students to embrace “decolonized truths about bodies and movement [as being] essential to any kind of progressive and liberatory education.” Of the first 50 traditional classes appearing in the GSE’s course catalog, more than half are directly tied to some form of social justice concept.
The quiet, gradual intrusion of wokeness and other social justice concepts into the lectures, literature, and projects present in many Master of Education (M.Ed.) programs has been well-documented, but this open brazenness is a new and rapidly-spreading phenomenon. Literature was the first conquest—courses are the next one. But while Harvard academics prattle on about how pointing is racist, the next generation of Americans struggles to get through the school day. Fights, vandalism, and sexual harassment have gone from occasional specters to frequent tormenters.
If these universities were offering, even requiring, one or two classes related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, there would be no catastrophe. Unfortunately, many M.Ed. programs place educator education second or even third to social justice initiatives, and students suffer for it in the end.
This problem is by no means limited to Harvard, or even Ivy League universities more broadly. Smaller, public universities have fallen prey to the tide of wokeness as well, though perhaps not to the same extent. Look no further than the University of Texas – Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). UTRGV’s M.Ed. in Educational Leadership consists of 10 required courses. Of these, three are centered around diversity, with one class narrowly focusing on “Ethics, Equity and Diversity.”
Ideological intrusion is difficult to quantify, but it can be done. A Heritage Foundation study sought to determine the research specializations of 3,190 professors across 38 colleges of education, each being either a highly-ranked college or a program that educates a large number of teachers. Forty-eight percent of these educators (70% at California State University – Long Beach) were found to have a social justice research specialization. The vast majority of professors teach courses that are in line with their background and research interests, so it is no wonder that woke classes have emerged in such force across the country.
The philosophical and psychological harms associated with wokeness have, as with the presence of wokeness in college classrooms in the first place, been well-established. The pandemic is most often credited for the nationwide decline in student performance, but an analysis by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (which tested students before the pandemic) found that students’ test scores have been stagnating or dropping since 2012 — nearly a decade before the pandemic’s effects on learning were fully understood.
Wokeness is not ancient. My mother, who earned a teaching degree in the early 1990s, cannot recall any facet of her education being centered around social justice. She remembers extensive pedagogical strategies that held (and still hold) direct relevance in elementary education. But instead of engaging in much-needed research and self-reflection to see if they were the problem after all, education departments around the country are doubling down on their current philosophies and strategies. Many, in the name of equity, are doing away with testing entirely.
Gimmicks work for many precious metals companies. I despise gimmicks, which is why I recommend the straightforward approach of Our Gold Guy. If you want to buy precious metals, don’t get jacked around. Contact Ira.
De-wokeifying university education departments is possible, and arguably desirable, but it will not be easy. It will, at minimum, take strong wills, a tangible, competing vision for education, and lots of patience. Unfortunately, American families cannot afford to wait 20 years for any meaningful reforms to trickle down from university education departments to classrooms.
In the meantime, an expansion of school choice is probably the best answer. This year has been deemed the “Year of School Choice,” but there is more to be done. Many states (including my home state of Texas) still lack private school choice options, leaving families without the breadth of opportunities they deserve. With school choice being as popular as it is among the American public, there is a real chance to help families both in the short term and the long term.
While an M.Ed. may look a lot more like an M.SJW. right now, the status quo does not have to be destiny. While education departments around the country are slowly taken over from the inside, parents can push state legislatures for more alternatives to public education (where most of the fallout from bad classes takes place). Education departments are not offering serious classes, but grassroots efforts can help fill the void.

Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
