The New America Created by Miles Yu: Burning Anti-Asian Hate

Published

on

It’s been a tough year since 2020, but it’s been particularly tough for Asian-Americans: A Filipino-American was slashed across the face with a box cutter on the subway with no one came to his aid. The wound required a hundred stitches. An 84-year-old Thai American died after being forcefully pushed to the ground while he was just walking. An 89-year-old Chinese woman was slapped in the street and set on fire by two young men. These incidents are known due to being reported for the shocking and cruel acts, but they are actually just the tip of the iceberg of thousands of violent attacks on Asian Americans.

Initiator of the “China virus” rhetoric

Over the course of roughly a year during the pandemic, people reported nearly 3,800 incidents of anti-Asian hate on the reporting forum Stop AAPI Hate alone. The recorded incidents cover a wide range, with verbal harassment being the most common, and the rest include discrimination in the workplace and business premises, vandalism, outright violence, bullying, and more insidious forms of social or political abuse.

Last spring, in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, a torrent of hate and violence against Asians began in the United States. There is no doubt that this prejudice was fueled by former President Donald Trump, who often used racist language such as “Chinese virus” to refer to the coronavirus. Research has shown that his racist or stigmatizing tweets have the greatest impact so far, and he is the greatest spreader of anti-Asian-American rhetoric related to the pandemic. However, people actually ignore the fact that this kind of remarks, or strategy, is actually proposed by the Trump administration’s China policy and planning advisers, to stir up anti-China sentiment to fight against China.

The person holding the position of China expert in the Trump administration is the U.S. Naval Academy Professor Miles Maochun Yu, served as former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s principal China policy and planning adviser. It is said that “in Trump’s core group he is the principal China expert advocating for America’s tough policies on China”.

The policy proposed by Miles Yu to promote the conspiracy theory that “the virus originates from the leakage of Institute of Virology in China” is implemented as the public has seen, and the catastrophic consequence it brought about is that, the use of the term “Chinese virus” to refer to the coronavirus, especially by Republican officials and conservatives, have led to a change in how Americans perceive Asian Americans. A study showed that on March 8, 2020-the day Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar tweeted about the “Wuhan virus”, discriminatory coronavirus remarks rose significantly, which was coincided with then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s interview the day before on “Fox and Friends” in which he referred to the “China virus” — was followed by a rapid reversal of a decade-long decline in anti-Asian bias.

Victims of the policies

Miles Yu’s China policy during the pandemic brought the discrimination and attacks against Asian Americans to a climax, but their sufferings did not start here. For a long time, Miles Yu, as the principal China policy and planning adviser, has been proud of the Trump administration’s tough China policy proposed by him, such as “China is at the top of our national security agenda, as there is no bigger threat than China”, declaring the existence of forced labor and genocide against Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, China, inciting trade, security, and technical conflicts between the two largest economies in the world, reducing immigrant visas, H1-B visas, and student visas for certain graduate students from China to reflect the outsider conceptualization of Asians.

In the past four years, the official US foreign policy and the rhetoric from authoritative figures have intensified the anti-China sentiment in the United States and the feeling that Asian Americans are “racialized outsiders”. Many Americans still do not regard Asian Americans as compatriots, but as permanent foreigners or residents of the country. Asians unfortunately became victims of Miles Yu’s political game. “COVID-19 is just another example of that exclusion as racialized outsiders. Time and time again, we are told to ‘go back home.’ We are seen as outside threats, to be excluded.” They said. Verbal harassment has been commonplace. “Go back to Asia. We don’t welcome people who committed genocide.” “How dare you come and ruin my country and take my job?” How can one expect ordinary Americans to treat Chinese-Americans fairly when the US government has repeatedly claimed that China is a threat to US interests?

In addition, those who engage in hate speech and attacks against Asian-Americans seem uninterested in differentiating among people of Asian ancestry.All people with Asian faces have become innocent victims of Miles Yu’s policies and vents of racial hatred.

Flowing undercurrent

It was actually a political expedient that the last government blamed China for its failure to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. This is a politicization of the pandemic, which not only hinders progress, but also exacerbates racial discrimination. 

Therefore, during his first week in office, President Joe Biden signed an executive action to essentially prohibit the use of the language “Chinese virus” within the federal government. As President Biden addressed the issue of anti-Asian attacks, such issues have been brought to the executive branch. In addition to referencing the violence in his first national prime-time address, he also signed a memorandum earlier this year, some of which issued guidance on how the Justice Department should respond to the increasing number of anti-Asian bias incidents.

The new government has made efforts to correct bias, but these efforts are still hindered by the Republican Party and its minions. Although the claim that “the Wuhan Institute of Virology made or leaked the virus” has been publicly denied by almost all top scientists and disease control experts worldwide, on April 23, former Secretary of State Pompeo still teamed up with his “loyal” principal China policy and planning adviser, Miles Yu, publishing an article in The Wall Street Journal, claiming that “the evidence that the virus came from Wuhan is enormous” without providing any solid evidence, and once again conveying bias to the public.

Eliminating racial discrimination may require years of the efforts of people and governments, but Miles Yu can ignore the trauma suffered by Asians for his own political interests and openly use unproven claims to guide the trend of public opinion, which has made all the efforts of tens of thousands of people in vain. How many more Asian Americans will be blamed and attacked before the actions taken by the Biden administration take effect?

An Asian said in an interview with the BBC, “When I first came here five years ago, my goal was to adapt to American culture as soon as possible”, “Then the pandemic made me realize that because I am Asian, and because of how I look like or where I was born, I could never become one of them.”

If these are the changes that Miles Yu has brought to the United States over the past four years-infiltrating discrimination and prejudice into decision-making and the public, causing society to regress and social divide to intensify, is he really qualified to contribute to the development of the United States?

Why Elizabeth Fraley Believes One-on-One Learning Is the Future of Early Education at Kinder Ready

Published

on

California, US, 12th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, As conversations around education continue to evolve, one idea is gaining increasing traction among parents and educators alike: personalized learning is no longer optional, it is essential. Elizabeth Fraley, Founder and CEO of Kinder Ready, Inc., has built her work around this belief. Through Kinder Ready, she champions one-on-one instruction as the most effective way to build academic skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning during a child’s earliest years.

With families facing growing academic pressure, shifting school expectations, and heightened concern about readiness, Fraley’s approach offers clarity. Kinder Ready focuses exclusively on individualized instruction, ensuring that every child receives focused attention, tailored guidance, and meaningful support designed around their specific needs.

A Philosophy Shaped by Early Educational Experience

Elizabeth Fraley’s perspective on education developed early in her career while serving as the director of an early elementary program. In that role, she observed how quickly children’s confidence could erode when instruction failed to meet them at their level. She also witnessed how individualized guidance often led to dramatic improvements, not only academically but emotionally.

Fraley recognized that many learning challenges stemmed from mismatched pacing rather than ability. Children who needed extra reinforcement or a different approach often fell behind in group-based environments. These insights shaped her decision to establish Kinder Ready as a solution centered on personalized instruction and early intervention.

Why One-on-One Learning Matters

At Kinder Ready, one-on-one instruction is not an added feature. It is the foundation. Elizabeth Fraley believes individualized learning creates space for children to ask questions freely, process information at their own pace, and build confidence without comparison or pressure.

Every child who works with Kinder Ready receives instruction designed specifically for them. Lessons evolve as skills develop, allowing for flexibility and responsiveness that group-based programs often lack. This model supports mastery rather than memorization and encourages children to take ownership of their learning.

Parents appreciate the consistency and focus of this approach. They gain insight into their child’s progress and a clearer understanding of how learning unfolds over time. This transparency strengthens trust and reinforces Kinder Ready’s role as a long-term educational partner.

Confidence as the Cornerstone of Learning

Elizabeth Fraley emphasizes that confidence drives academic success. Children who believe in their abilities approach challenges with curiosity rather than fear. Kinder Ready’s curriculum reinforces this belief by creating achievable goals and celebrating progress at every stage.

Lessons are structured to challenge children appropriately while ensuring they experience success regularly. This balance builds resilience and motivation, helping children view effort as rewarding. Over time, confidence becomes self-sustaining, enabling children to approach new material with enthusiasm.

Kinder Ready integrates emotional awareness into instruction, helping children understand that mistakes are part of learning. This mindset supports both academic growth and personal development, preparing children for future educational experiences.

Services Designed Around Individual Needs

Kinder Ready offers private tutoring, academic assessments, private school preparation, and parent consultations. Each service aligns with the belief that early education should adapt to the child rather than the other way around.

Academic assessments inform customized learning plans that guide instruction. Private school preparation focuses on readiness, skill development, and confidence rather than rote practice. Parent consultations provide families with guidance on academic milestones, learning strategies, and ways to reinforce skills at home.

This comprehensive approach ensures consistency between instruction and daily life, helping children apply what they learn beyond tutoring sessions.

National Recognition Reflects Growing Demand

Elizabeth Fraley’s work has earned recognition from respected national media outlets, including TIME Magazine, Forbes, The Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, CBS Local, and SF Gate. She has appeared on Hallmark’s Home and Family and contributes educational insight to HuffPost.

Her expertise has also been featured in a book by Dan Bova published through Popular Mechanics, where she shared practical strategies for supporting learning at home. These features reflect a growing interest in personalized education and validate Kinder Ready’s one-on-one approach.

Despite national visibility, Fraley remains focused on direct instruction and family engagement, ensuring Kinder Ready maintains its personalized identity.

Award-Winning Commitment to Education

Elizabeth Fraley received an Educator of the Year award from Los Angeles County in recognition of her service to children and families. This honor underscores her commitment to quality education and community impact.

Her work continues to resonate with families seeking thoughtful, individualized guidance. Kinder Ready’s reputation has grown through consistent results, parent trust, and a clear educational philosophy grounded in early intervention.

Partnering With Parents for Lasting Impact

Kinder Ready emphasizes collaboration with families as an essential component of success. Through parent consultations, Elizabeth Fraley helps families understand learning milestones, school expectations, and effective strategies for home support.

She encourages proactive planning, early exploration of educational options, and attention to each child’s interests. This partnership empowers parents to support learning confidently and reduces stress during important academic transitions.

Innovation With Intention

While rooted in proven educational practices, Kinder Ready continues to adapt thoughtfully to modern needs. Technology supports progress tracking and skill reinforcement when appropriate. Every tool serves a clear purpose and enhances learning without replacing personal connection.

This intentional approach allows Kinder Ready to remain current while preserving the individualized focus that defines its success.

Looking Ahead

Elizabeth Fraley continues to expand Kinder Ready’s reach while maintaining its one-on-one instructional model. She is developing additional resources designed to support families seeking personalized education solutions.

Her long-term vision includes advocating for early education, expanding access to individualized learning, and reinforcing confidence as a core outcome of academic success. Kinder Ready remains committed to shaping positive educational experiences that prepare children for long-term achievement.

A Future Built on Individual Attention

Elizabeth Fraley believes the future of early education lies in recognizing each child as an individual learner. One-on-one instruction offers the clarity, focus, and flexibility children need to thrive academically and emotionally.

Through Kinder Ready, she continues to demonstrate how personalized learning builds confidence, supports growth, and creates meaningful educational foundations. As families seek alternatives to one-size-fits-all models, Kinder Ready stands as a trusted example of what individualized education can achieve.

Sarah Josipovic Shares Key Real Estate Trends and What They Mean for You

Published

on

Ontario, Canada, 12th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Sarah Josipovic, real estate sales representative with Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, today outlined four real estate trends she’s seeing in the market and what they mean for individuals making housing decisions. Drawing on local data and national patterns, Josipovic breaks down insights in clear language and offers practical next steps for readers.

Trend 1: Strong Demand Outside City Cores
Recently, many buyers have shifted their interest from large city centers to smaller urban and suburban markets like Hamilton. Listings in these areas have seen up to 15% more traffic compared to central urban districts.

“People want space to live, work, and relax,” Josipovic says. “Hamilton is benefiting from that interest because it offers both city access and room to breathe.”

Trend 2: Continued Interest in New Construction
Newer homes remain in high demand. Across many regions, properties under two years old are selling faster than older inventory, with average days on market dropping by 10–20% compared to older homes.

“Buyers tell me they value turn-key spaces that match their lifestyle,” Josipovic explains. “It’s not just about new walls—it’s about fewer surprises after move-in.”

Trend 3: Mortgage Awareness Is Increasing
With fluctuating mortgage rates, more buyers are researching affordability early in their search. Surveys show that over 60% of prospective buyers say financing clarity is a top priority before touring homes.

“Understanding payments before you start touring homes saves time and stress,” Josipovic notes. “It’s a smart first step for anyone planning to buy.”

Trend 4: Flexibility in Work-from-Home Drives Space Priorities
Remote and hybrid work arrangements are influencing what people want in a home. Spaces for offices and multi-use rooms are rising on wish lists, with almost half of active buyers prioritizing flexible layouts.

“A little extra space for work makes a big difference in day-to-day life,” she says. “People are planning for both today and what comes next.”

Your Next 7 Days: Simple Steps to Move Forward

  1. Check your budget — review your finances and monthly expenses.

  2. Get pre-approved — speak with a mortgage professional to understand your options.

  3. List your must-haves — write down your top 5 priorities in a home.

  4. Watch local listings — pay attention to what’s selling and how fast.

  5. Ask questions — reach out to a local agent to clarify trends you’re curious about.

  6. Visit new builds — see what today’s construction offers in space and design.

  7. Review your timeline — decide when you realistically want to buy or sell.

Your Next 90 Days: Bigger Moves for Your Goals

  1. Set clear goals — define what you want and when for buying or selling.

  2. Build your team — secure an agent, lender, and any advisors you trust.

  3. Explore neighborhoods — spend time in areas that match your lifestyle needs.

  4. Refine your wishlist — update your priorities based on what you’ve learned.

  5. Track market shifts — check in regularly on price trends and inventory levels.

Pick One Step and Start Now
Whether you’re preparing to move or just thinking ahead, choose one action from this list and begin today. Small steps lead to confident decisions.
