“…I’m not sure how I missed this last year, but kudos to The Dispatch for flagging this lunacy as a prime example of how “anti-racism” wokeness is poisoning education. We’ve written about some of the madness, including stifling “woke” cultures at elite private schools, and some activists’ efforts to inject identity politics into math. But this concession to the mob by a group of charter schools is about as cartoonishly illustrative of the problem as it gets. The insane ideologues are winning, and this is what their “victories” look like:
It’s more accurate to say that anti-racist education means something very different from what most observers bargained for. Last summer, the famed KIPP charter schools announced they’d be abandoning their longtime slogan: “Work Hard, Be Nice.” Why? The announcement explained: “The slogan passively supports ongoing efforts to pacify and control Black and Brown bodies in order to better condition them to be compliant and further reproduce current social norms that center whiteness and meritocracy as normal.” Those unfamiliar with anti-racist dogma are frequently surprised to see it invoked in this kind of assault on foundational virtues. They tend to presume that such instances are outliers. Unfortunately, it’s more accurate to say that KIPP’s move was a telling snapshot of contemporary anti-racist education in practice.
“Work hard, be nice” is some of the earliest advice I was given as a student and as I embarked upon my career. I’ve passed it along to countless young people in speeches to campus groups. Working hard and treating people nicely is a competitive advantage over people who will do one thing, but not the other – or neither. It’s also just the right way to comport oneself. But apparently, this mission statement was thrown out by KIPP charter schools because it “passively supports” the ‘pacification’ of “Black and Brown bodies,” whatever the hell that means. Furthermore, these concepts allegedly “center whiteness and meritocracy,” which is a stunningly racist commentary unto itself. Hard work and kindness are white values? That’s bigoted trash. One parent is quoted in the article above saying, “We did not immigrate to this country for our children to be taught in taxpayer funded schools that punctuality and hard work are white values.”…”

“…By a vote of 217-209, the House rejected a bid to bring a bill to the floor that would have applied sanctions against the terror group Hamas. The sanctions targeted foreign individuals and governments that assist Hamas or the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Both organizations are terror groups so designated by the State Department.
The bill had been introduced by Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) and would have reauthorized the Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act. The act passed the House last session but failed to make it to the Senate floor.
“Under my bill, the United States will sanction these groups that are supporting terrorism,” Mast said in a floor speech in support of the legislation. “Or if we do not pass this bill, we will not stand together to sanction these groups that are enabling this terrorism.”
Prior to the vote, Mast’s bill drew support from prominent Republicans, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Mast had previously penned a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Gregory Meeks to expedite a vote on the bill.
“The ongoing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians show why America must unequivocally support Israel, condemn Hamas, and sanction those who fund terrorism,” McCarthy wrote on Twitter.
The last time the bill was considered in the House, it passed unanimously. Democrats may very well have refused to bring up the measure because so many of their members are pro-Hamas and the Democratic leadership in the House didn’t want the embarrassment of betraying a close ally in the middle of a war.
Notable among Hamas sympathizers are members of “The Squad” who haven’t been shy about touting their anti-Semitism.
Footage of the event clearly showed Tlaib speaking in front of a banner promoting Neturei Karta, an extremist Jewish sect that believes Israel must be destroyed and that Jews must be prevented from governing a state until the Messiah comes.
Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar matter-of-factly defended the terror attacks on Israeli civilians and argued that Israel’s attacks on Hamas were the real terror.
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that Israel was an apartheid state and should not be considered a democracy.
Finally, Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley tweeted a video of herself claiming that Israel was in fact a military occupation of Palestine.
It should also be noted that Hamas’s number one sponsor, Iran, is sitting across the table from U.S. representatives trying to negotiate a return by the Biden administration to the nuclear agreement of 2015. If successful, Iran would be in line to get billions in frozen assets and tens of billions in sanctions relief.
How much of that money will be going to support Hamas terror activities?
Biden recognizes the danger but is so eager for a deal that he is going forward with negotiations.
“…The Democrats have apparently stopped following the science. Not only that, they’re done worshiping at the altar of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an organization that we’ve been told for over a year speaks nothing but the Gospel truth. It’s not as if I’m surprised by the flip-flopping. People who wander through life unburdened by morals, convictions, or the cognitive ability to process logic aren’t exactly known for their consistency, after all.
As long as the CDC could be used by the COVID tyrants as a cudgel to keep the masses oppressed in the name of public health, the Democrats treated it as most holy and righteous. Now that the CDC has said that we vaccinated folk don’t need to be wearing masks (which Doctor Diarrhea Mouth thinks we don’t understand), the Democrats have fallen out of love.
The Democrats talk about masks ad nauseam because, let’s face it, what else are they going to talk about?
Foreign policy? LOL.
The border crisis? WHAT CRISIS?
The roaring jobs market? Oops.
The hilarious thing here is that these paste-eating Democrat mask freaks are knee-capping the only real success that this administration has had, which is the vaccine distribution. Perhaps they’re struggling with the fact that Biden’s big win was only made possible by Donald Trump.
Granny Boxwine has decided that the House of Representatives needs to remain masked up at work, even though they got access to the vaccine long before we commoners did…”

“…Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s spokesperson has reportedly announced that she will only give interviews to “Black or Brown” journalists on the occasion of reaching the halfway point in her term as mayor…”

“…We are going to talk about and work together — and again, I want to thank Chairman Ruiz for the work that we are going to do together as it relates to my — one of my areas of focus, which is the Northern Triangle and looking at how we can address the root causes of migration and work together in a way that is a continuation of the work we’ve already begun and the progress we’ve already seen around bringing federal agencies together to enhance their focus or renew their focus in that region, ranging from the Department of Agriculture, to Secretary of Commerce and hosting a Virtual Trade Mission, to the work that we are doing to bring American foundations in to renew their interest in the region and increase their capacity to support the region…”

Hamas launched an intensive mortar attack as 24 trucks were attempting to deliver supplies through the Kerem Shalom crossing.
“…What just happened at the Kerem Shalom Crossing leading from Israel into Gaza is a pretty good metaphor for the entire psychopathic Hamas and Palestinian terror group pathology.
Kerem Shalom is the main crossing terminal through which commercial trucks and supplies reach Gaza. The crossing had been closed due to the rocket fire from Gaza, but yesterday Israel agreed to reopen the crossing to allow a convoy of 24 trucks to enter Gaza with humanitarian supplies.
So what did Hamas do? It launched a mortar attack on the crossing as the trucks were entering Gaza, wounding an Israeli soldier:
The Israel Defense Forces says the person injured in the mortar attack was an IDF soldier assisting in the transfer of humanitarian aid shipments into the Gaza Strip through the Erez Crossing.
The soldier sustained light injuries and has been taken to Ashkelon’s Barzilai Medical Center for further care, medics say.
Earlier today, Israel temporarily reopened both the Erez and Kerem Shalom crossings into Gaza, allowing many truckloads of fuel, medical equipment and animal feed into the enclave, according to Israel’s military liaison to the Palestinians.
While the crossings were opened, terrorists in the Strip launched a large mortar barrage across the border, including at Kerem Shalom and Erez….”
If the Palestinians put down their weapons today, there would be peace with Israel and they would have their own state.
If Israel put down their weapons today, they would be mercilessly attacked and driven from their land.
That is the problem. Israel wants peace. Palestinians want to destroy Israel.
“…White House press secretary Jen Psaki fell face-first into foolishness when she attempted to downplay former President Donald Trump’s progress with working towards peace in the Middle East. During a recent conversation with reporters, the press secretary attempted to demean the peace deals the U.S. helped to broker between Israel and Arab nations under the former president.
During a Tuesday trip to Michigan on Air Force One, Psaki said: “Aside from putting forward a peace proposal that was dead on arrival, we don’t think they did anything constructive really to bring an end to the long-term conflict in the Middle East.”
The press secretary’s comments were a response to a reporter’s question about the Trump administration’s Abraham Accords which were designed to normalize diplomatic relations between Israel and other Middle Eastern countries. Apparently, she missed the widespread celebration of the various peace deals between Israel and previously hostile Arab nations that the Trump administration facilitated.
In September 2020, it was announced that the United Arab Emirates and Israel would enter into a peace agreement. This accord was a significant step toward Middle East peace as it was the first domino to drop in the quest for less volatility. With this new agreement in place, trade between the two nations can flourish.
Less than 30 days later, the Trump administration scored another diplomatic victory when it succeeded in persuading Bahrain to also normalize ties with Israel. When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Bahrain’s King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa on the phone, the leaders agreed to establish full relations between their countries.
Next was Sudan, which announced in October last year that it would start to establish diplomatic ties with the Jewish state after its historically antagonistic stance against the nation. This development was rather significant in that it had engaged in military conflict with Tel-Aviv in the past. In a piece for the Times of Israel, author Raphael Aren noted:
Sudan, on the other hand, has been a bitter enemy of the Jewish state since its founding. During the 1948 War of Independence, six Sudanese army companies joined the Egyptians in fighting the nascent Jewish state.
The animosity continued for seven decades. Until 2016, Sudan was a staunch ally of Iran, helping the Islamic Republic smuggle rockets and other weapons to Palestinian terror groups in Gaza. This prompted Israel to repeatedly bomb military facilities in the country, according to foreign reports.
Lastly, Morocco became the fourth Arab nation to declare that it would establish diplomatic relations with Israel. The two countries stated they would reopen economic liaison offices that were closed in 2002 and work towards exchanging ambassadors while restarting direct flights.
These accomplishments were a great boon to Israel and others who seek peace in the Middle East. The nation was unable to enjoy normalized relations with most Arab nations, and President Trump began the process towards remedying the issue.
Psaki’s comments are especially ludicrous considering the fact that violence once again broke out between the Israelis and Palestinians with President Joe Biden in the White House. “Violence in the region under Biden’s leadership is at the highest level since at least 2014, before Trump was president,” according to Breitbart News…”
