Texas School Fund Yanks $8.5 Billion from BlackRock Over ESG Investing

By Carole Hornsby Haynes March 21, 2024 

Texans are fighting back against against theEnvironmental Social Governance (ESG) politically-motivated movement by yanking $8.5 billion of Texas Permanent School Fund (PSF) assets from global asset manager BlackRock. 

Major fund managers including BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have colluded to phase out Texas’ energy production within the next 15 years. This will have a dramatic impact on Texas public education because the PSF is primarily funded by oil and gas royalties. 

Why State Bans Won't Stop DEI

In an article penned several years ago, “Why State Bans and Flipping School Boards Won’t Stop Critical Race Theory,” I predicted that powerful teachers’ unions and emboldened teachers would ignore the laws while school boards with their limited authority would not effect change. I predicted the use of legislation to shut down Critical Race Theory would follow a path similar to that of Common Core with defiance of the law and rebranding. Time has proven me right.  

Is Texas Headed for Secession?

"The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form." Confederate President Jefferson Davis - States Rights 

In his January 24 statement on Texas’ Constitutional right to self-defense against invasion, Gov. Greg Abbott wrote, “The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States.” This sounds strikingly similar to the language in the secession ordinances of Southern states that asserted the states were united under the compact known as the Constitution which lays out certain responsibilities of the federal government and the executive branch toward the states. It was the abdication of those responsibilites that triggered the Southern states to “dissolve the union.”

“Give me your four year olds, and in a generation, I will build a socialist state.” Vladimir Lenin 

Parents have been bullied, marginalized, shouted down, targeted by the FBI, arrested and literally dragged out of school board meetings by police for exercising their first amendment right to protest what their children are being taught. Since their God-given parental rights have been hijacked by our legal system and institutions, parents are doing what our forefathers did to protect their liberty – organizing and fighting back. And parents are winning. It seems the Left has woefully underestimated the Momma Bear instinct to protect their young. 

Florida Bill to End Cancel Culture; Will the Senate Pass It?

By Carole Hornsby Haynes   February 20, 2024 

Florida is considered a conservative state yet it has been aggressively removing monuments, both Confederate and non-Confederate, for years. Jacksonville has wasted no time in canceling its heritage with the removal of several monuments since 2016, joined by St. Petersburg, Orlando, Fort Myers, Ocala, Daytona Beach, Pensacola, Gainesville, and Lakeland. A bill (SB 1122) pending in the Florida Senate could end this desecration of the state’s historical monuments and memorials to its storied past.
