Topic: Political Correctness

... for ‘flagrant violation’ in ‘Cornell 7’ case: ‘She must recuse herself’. A bar ethics complaint has been filed against New York Attorney General Letitia James for allegedly making prejudicial statements about the “Cornell 7” in the days before being appointed special prosecutor to look into criminal charges for the Ivy’s Chi Phi frat members, The Post has learned. Two days before she was appointed special prosecutor to reopen an investigation into a 2024 alleged gang rape at Cornell University’s Chi Phi house, James posted on social media: “What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable.”

Hair-Raising Case
Topic: Political Correctness

White Baltimore Arts Executive Fired For Wearing Cornrows. It was not deemed a fun hairstyle choice adopted on a vacation but rather a despicable case of cultural appropriation that warranted her termination... A White Baltimore arts executive was recently fired in September from the Baltimore Rock Opera Society. The reason was not that Kelly Carnes was chronically absent or failed to perform her duties as the new executive director. Rather, it was the hairstyle that she briefly adopted on vacation. You see, Carnes is white, and co-workers were apparently triggered by her getting cornrows while attending the Burning Man festival.

Turkey bans social media for kids under 15
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Politico.EU
The law comes amid a global push for tougher age restrictions on social media platforms. The government of Turkey on Saturday formally banned access to social media platform for children under the age of 15. The law was published today following the Turkish Parliament's adoption of the bill last April. The ban will come into force on Nov. 1. Social media platforms will have to "take the necessary technical and administrative measures, including age verification," to implement the new rules, the law states. The age verification system would work with a government-issued "token", according to the law's Article 7.

...with star-studded cast in huge comeback 8 years after controversial cancellation.

Barr raised the money from private investors and shot it as a union production. No premiere date or buyer has been announced as of yet.

Women Sue Epstein Estate Over Child Porn Pics
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: NBC News
Proposed class action seeks damages, notification program for others found in alleged seized photos Jeffrey Epstein's estate is facing a new lawsuit that targets what accusers call one of his least-addressed crimes: his alleged trove of child sexual abuse images. Filed in federal court in Manhattan, the proposed class action comes from two women identified as "Jane Doe" and "Amy," who say their photos were found among Epstein's seized materials but that they—and "countless" others—were never notified, per NBC News. The suit seeks a court-supervised process to locate and inform every person whose "unlawful sexualized images" were allegedly in Epstein's possession, including a "modeling book" kept in a safe.

A convicted pedophile who began identifying as “transgender” after his incarceration is currently housed in a women’s prison in Minnesota, where he has been exposing himself to women and writing poetry about rape. Daniel Patrick Benz, who legally changed his name to Danielle Marie Whitebird in June of 2023, has been accused by multiple female inmates at Shakopee women’s prison of exposing his penis to them and asking them to read aloud poetry he wrote containing descriptions of rape. Female inmates have told Reduxx that the fear of retaliation from prison officials has kept many women from filing official complaints....

The Tories today warned white working-class boys 'don't need another Labour quango lecturing them' as the Government set up a new Whitehall 'class unit'. Bridget Phillipson, the equalities minister, is establishing the new unit as part of plans to place social class on a par with sex, race and disability for the first time. It is the first time a government has specifically created a dedicated Whitehall team to reduce class inequalities and discrimination.

The Last Time A College Hired An Obama Aide
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Daily Wire
To Investigate A Sex Scandal, It Didn’t End Well. The fact-finder said one thing. The mob said another. The college chose the mob. Cornell officials may think that campus activists will accept the findings of a well-regarded female Democrat lawyer. But that’s not what happened eight years ago, when the University of Rochester hired ex-Obama lawyer Mary Jo White to get them out of a similar situation. The university called on White after Mother Jones reported in 2016 that two junior faculty, Celeste Kidd and Jessica Cantlon, accused professor T. Florian Jaeger, an acclaimed scientist, of being flirtatious, creepy, and socializing with graduate students.

These Minnesota Parents Were Censored
Topic: Children and Family

...at a Public Meeting for Saying School Employees' Job Titles. "You can't talk about the superintendent," a Foley Public School Board official told Blake and Katy DeMarais when they tried to advocate for their disabled and nonverbal son. During the public comment period at Foley Public School Board meetings, concerned citizens are forbidden from saying not only the names of school staff and officials but even their titles. These revelations come from Blake and Katy DeMarais, concerned parents of a disabled and nonverbal special education student in the district. Over the summer, the parents complained that the district was failing to provide educational services to their son, only to be censored in a public meeting.

Education, Vouchers, and School Choice
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Future of Freedom Foundation
Although every service imaginable is or has been provided by the free market, governments at every level are united in their belief that there is one service that government at some level should provide, fund, regulate, control, and/or mandate that every child should receive: education. And it is not just government. Most Americans believe likewise, and have for over a hundred years. Even most of those who pay tuition to send their children to a private school undoubtedly still believe that government should have public schools and exercise some degree of control over education even if it takes place at a private school. Many federal government officials have sent their children to Sidwell Friends School — an elite private Quaker school in Washington, D.C. — including Presidents Clinton and Obama. Yet, none of those government officials who enrolled their children there ever called for the elimination of public schools.

The Education Cartel and the Blue State School Scam
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Jonathan Turley
“In the first place, God made idiots,” Mark Twain once wrote in an 1879 travel book. “That was for practice. Then he made school boards.” It appears that most Americans now agree with him. New polling shows that K-12 education has now reached a record low in the number of people who are even “somewhat satisfied” with the state of education in the U.S. What is most troubling is that the near-total contempt for our school system does not make a bit of difference. Families and students have become largely irrelevant to an education cartel, a self-sustaining, self-perpetuating political alliance of unions and politicians.

Kathleen Kennedy Reminisces On Her 14 Year Destruction Of Star Wars
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Zero Hedge
She turned the quintessential hero's journey into a feminist manifesto promoting moral relativism, and now the franchise is dead... You can learn a lot about the political left and their true principles by simply studying their pop culture products. Hollywood used to be a lot more savvy about hiding their intentions and their propaganda in tent pole films because they understood that they still had to make money. Alienating the majority of their audience in favor of pushing a manifesto was not an option back then. However, in the past decade, something changed. Progressives in Tinsel Town became emboldened to the point that the Box Office no longer mattered. They decided they were going to pressure Americans to accept woke ideology - They were going to force-feed their Marxist vision to the masses until the public gave up on expecting anything different.

Back-to-school in Mamdani’s NYC Means Back to the Same Old Failure

— It’s All in the Plan. It’s back-to-school time in New York City — and while the names at the top this year have changed, the path to improvement has not. Last fall, the city Department of Education wasn’t ready. Student performance was appalling, as the National Assessment of Educational Progress made clear, and the plan to fix it? Absent.

Britain's Speech Police: How The State Learned To Fear Its People
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Daily Sceptic
With 62,000 people arrested for speech crimes in five years, the UK can no longer claim to be a free society, says Paul Birch. Many of us in Britain still flatter ourselves that we live in a free country. Although the UK isn't quite a police state (not yet anyway), neither is it a country in which the individual can any longer speak without glancing over his or her shoulder. The old compact of a liberal society was simple - the state punished genuine criminality, while opinion was left to the rough justice of argument, satire and public disagreement.
