From Poosh to Podcasts: Controversy Is Kourtney's Comfort Zone
If you thought Kourtney Kardashian Barker had run out of bold takes, think again. The reality TV star and entrepreneur stirred up a whirlwind of controversy this week—not with a beauty launch or a family feud, but with a mic-drop musing on something most people take for granted: school.On the latest episode of Khloé in Wonder Land, hosted by her sister Khloe Kardashian, the 46-year-old mom of four took a detour from conventional celebrity chatter to challenge the very foundation of childhood routine. Sitting across from Khloe, Kourtney let loose a view that quickly had the internet buzzing: 'Why do kids f**king go to school? Truly. It's so dated.'Framed as a conversation about living authentically and rejecting societal molds, Kourtney's remarks stemmed from her self-proclaimed identity as a non-conformist. 'I love to just go against the grain,' she said, casually tossing away the idea that traditional education is a necessary rite of passage. And to many people's surprise, Khloe didn't bat an eye—instead, she leaned right in. 'Oh, I'm such a homeschool person. So don't even get me going,' Khloe responded enthusiastically, echoing her sister's sentiment.Together, the sisters painted a picture of a parenting style rooted in intuition and alternative choices, far removed from PTA meetings and pencil cases.Kourtney didn't stop at schooling. She pulled back the curtain on how she manages her children's health—spoiler alert: it doesn't involve a quick trip to the pharmacy. 'I will nurse the fever of my kids versus giving Tylenol or Ibuprofen,' she revealed, citing her preference for a more natural, hands-on approach to caregiving. 'I just want to do that,' she added, clarifying that while the rest of the world may slowly be shifting toward similar philosophies, the U.S. still lags behind.With four kids—Mason (15), Penelope (12), Reign (10), and baby Rocky (18 months)—Kourtney is no stranger to the highs and lows of parenting. And whether you agree with her or not, it's clear she's carving her own path, even if that means rewriting the parenting playbook page by page.For a Kardashian, courting controversy is second nature—but this time, it's not about body image, brand wars, or tabloid tiffs. Kourtney's provocative pondering over the relevance of the school system may have been casually dropped mid-podcast, but its ripple effect has been anything but casual.Online reactions have ranged from applause to outrage. Some praised her for questioning outdated systems and embracing homeschooling , while others slammed the remarks as out-of-touch and privileged.Is Kourtney Kardashian Barker raising a flag for educational reform—or simply flexing her star-powered independence in a way only a Kardashian can? Either way, one thing is clear: she's not afraid to ask the uncomfortable questions, even if it makes the internet erupt.

New on Netflix This Week (May 26–31): From Dept. Q to Mad Unicorn, 9 fresh binge bombs you'll regret sleeping on
New on Netflix This Week (May 26–31): Brace yourselves, couch potatoes and streaming savants. Netflix just restocked the shelves of your emotional refrigerator and the menu? Juicy, mysterious, hilarious, deadly, and oh-so bingeable. This week's lineup is hotter than your ex's Instagram after a breakup. Here's everything dropping from May 26 to 31 that you'll want to cancel plans for. Ready, set, obsess. 1. Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders (May 26) Plot twist: The pill that gave you headache relief in the '80s? Yeah, it gave Chicago a massive case of trust issues. At least seven people died after taking cyanide-laced Tylenol, and the world hasn't looked at a medicine cabinet the same way since. From the creators behind Conversations with a Killer and Shadow of Truth, this deep dive questions whether the real killer was ever found… or whether a sinister cover-up is hiding in plain sight. 2. Mike Birbiglia: The Good Life (May 26) Ah, Mike's back, and this time, he's unpacking the chaotic joys of marriage and parenting. Why do kids' birthday parties require a survival kit now?! Equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and sneakily heartfelt, Birbiglia drops truth bombs with perfect timing and just the right dash of dad energy. 3. F1: The Academy (May 28) Move over, boys. The grid's about to get a makeover. Fifteen fierce, focused women are taking the wheel and proving they belong in the high-octane, testosterone-flooded world of Formula 1. Expect fast cars, faster comebacks, and a whole lot of feminist fire. 4. Losmen Bu Broto: The Series (May 29) Tarjo's tired of being invisible in his own family's inn. Cue: ambition, betrayal, and a forbidden romance with a married guest (we see you, plot twist). Set in Yogyakarta, this series is dripping in cultural charm and messy family drama. Watch it when you're craving something slow-burning and full of secrets. 5. Dept. Q (May 29) DCI Carl Morck is your classic tortured genius: brilliant, bitter, and basically exiled to a basement after a botched operation. But when a long-dead cold case suddenly warms up, Carl assembles a ragtag team to take down corruption from the shadows. Think Sherlock meets Luther with less tea and more trauma. 6. Mad Unicorn (May 29) Cue your next entrepreneurial obsession. When one underdog launches a courier startup, the success isn't just surprising but rather threatening. Enemies multiply. Tensions rise. And somewhere between ambition and survival, lines get crossed. 7. A Widow's Game (May 30) Valencia, 2017. A man is found stabbed seven times in a parking lot. It screams passion crime, but what doesn't scream is his young, sweet widow Maje being the prime suspect. But darling, looks deceive. This one's a layered slow-burn thriller that'll keep you shouting 'WHAT?!' every ten minutes. 8. The Heart Knows (May 30) Warning: You may cry. Juan receives a heart transplant from a kind man named Pedro. Cue the plot twist - Juan meets Pedro's widow, Valeria, and falls in love without telling her the whole heart connection thing. Oh, and he's trying to save Pedro's neighbourhood too. 9. Lost in Starlight (May 30) 2050 Seoul: Aspiring astronaut Nan-young is grounded. Musician Jay is stuck in nostalgia. They meet, they fall, they dream of space and each other. But when she finally gets her shot at Mars, love and ambition clash in the most celestial way possible. Watch it when you want love that spans galaxies (and doesn't ghost you halfway to Mars). This week on Netflix, the drama is real, the laughs are loud, and your weekend plans just got booked solid.
