Sesame Street’s Racial Justice Curriculum Begins With Infants

/0 Comments/in , /by

The nonprofit behind the iconic children’s show Sesame Street has created a “racial literacy” curriculum to expose young kids and their parents to key tenets of “anti-racist” ideology.

“Coming Together” by Sesame Workshop began in 2020 and is made up of videos, handouts and children’s books for parents to teach their kids the “ABC’s of racial literacy,” according to the nonprofit’s website. The program says children are “never too young” to learn about racism, which starts with infants because they begin to develop “preference for the faces of people from their own racial group.”

These ideas resemble those put forward by “anti-racist” writers like Ibram X. Kendi, who released a children’s picture book in 2020 after the death of George Floyd. Titled “Antiracist Baby,” the book encourages conversations with children about racism, especially for parents who think their child is “color-blind,” the Harvard Gazette reported.

Kendi said if racism isn’t addressed by age 2, kids may be “a lost cause” to racism by 10 or 15 years of age. (Read more from “Sesame Street’s Racial Justice Curriculum Begins With Infants” HERE)

‘Night of Terror’: Female Inmates Raped When Male Detainees Bribed Guard

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Female inmates at an Indiana jail were subjected to a “night of terror” when male detainees gained access to their cells, the women allege in a lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed Friday, July 22, by eight women against Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel and current and former Clark County Jail officers. It’s the second lawsuit filed this summer following the alleged incident, with 20 women filing suit in June, court records show.

The women claim that on Oct. 23, 2021, jail officer David Lowe gave two male detainees keys to the interior of the jail in exchange for $1,000.

That night, the two male detainees and other male inmates went into restricted areas of the jail that housed women, according to the lawsuit.

“Numerous male detainees used the keys obtained from Lowe to enter Pods 4(E) and 4(F), where they raped, assaulted, harassed, threatened and intimidated the plaintiffs in this lawsuit, and other women, for several hours, resulting in significant physical and emotional injuries,” the lawsuit filed in the United States District Court of the Southern District of Indiana says.

Lawsuit: College Sold Foreign Students to Work at Dog Food Factory

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A community college used the State Department’s J-1 visa program to import and then trade 14 foreign students to work at a local dog food factory, according to a lawsuit filed by the fraud victims.

College officials told the 14 Chilean students they were accepted into “a two-year program in which Plaintiffs would study at Western Iowa Tech Community College] WITCC and complete internships related to their field of study and at which they would work no more than 32 hours per week,” says the lawsuit, which was revealed by TheCollegeFix.com.

The lawsuit alleged:

After Plaintiffs arrived in the United States, they were assigned jobs at Defendants Royal Canin and/or Tur-Pak. The jobs to which Plaintiffs were assigned had no educational value and were completely unrelated to their intended fields of study. Plaintiffs were expected to work more than the 32 hours a week they had been told they would be working.

“The students made $15 an hour working for each of these firms, though they themselves kept $7.25 per hour,” according to TheCollegeFix. “The rest was paid to WITCC and J&L Staffing, in part to cover students’ housing, tuition, and fees,” it added.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Incoming medical students at the University of Michigan walked out of their White Coat Ceremony this weekend when a doctor known for her pro-life views took the stage to deliver the keynote address.

Dr. Kristin Collier is a pro-life assistant professor of medicine at University of Michigan and director of the University of Michigan Medical School Program on Health Spirituality and Religion. Students and activists previously pressured the administration to cancel her remarks.

A video posted to Twitter shows many students, donning their white coats, getting out of their seats and leaving the amphitheater when Collier took the stage. The video has accumulated over 12 million views since Sunday.

The White Coat Ceremony is an event held at many schools where students mark their transition into the field of medicine.

Beforehand, Collier tweeted that she felt “bolstered” by the support she was shown ahead of the ceremony that day.

School District Requires Assisting Child ‘Gender Transition,’ Lying to Parents

/0 Comments/in , /by

Maryland’s Montgomery County Public Schools is requiring teachers and administrators to both facilitate a child’s “gender transition” and lie to that child’s parents about it, according to district-wide guidance.

The school district also appears to promote a parental reeducation plan for those who are “nonsupportive.”

Montgomery County employees are required to refer to a student by their preferred name and pronouns — the ones the student believes correspond to their chosen gender identity as opposed to the name their parents gave them and the pronouns that correspond to their actual biological sex.

Despite that, the guidance makes clear that the references to what the student prefers should not be made when contacting parents in an effort to hide the child’s gender ideation and the school’s facilitation of it.

According to the guidance, disclosing a student’s transgender status to parents may violate federal privacy laws, as it constitutes “confidential medical information.” (Read more from “School District Requires Assisting Child ‘Gender Transition,’ Lying to Parents” HERE)

Disney Cast Members Getting Woke Makeover as Part of Gender-Neutral Push

/0 Comments/in , /by

Cinderella’s “Fairy Godmother” is apparently going woke, too.

Cast members at Disney’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique now will be called “Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices” — instead of “Fairy Godmothers in Training” — according to Disney.

The change is an attempt for the theme parks to be more gender-neutral, Walt Disney World (WDW) News Today shared on Tuesday.

The title change is already reflected on both the Walt Disney World and Disneyland websites. . .

A post there noted, “This way cast members that might not identify as female can still be part of the process to dress up and style the children without having to refer to themselves as a female Disney character.” (Read more from “Disney Cast Members Getting Woke Makeover as Part of Gender-Neutral Push” HERE)

‘Furries’ and Soros-Linked NGOs March at ‘Trans Pride’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Soros-linked NGO activists, anti-capitalists, and furries reportedly marched in Dublin on Saturday to “assert” their pro-transgenderism “truth” to the population.

A variety of left-wing activists — including the likes of anticapitalists, NGO workers, and even ‘furries’ — took to Dublin’s streets on Saturday to “assert” the views of transgenderism.

According to a report by a report by the Irish Independent, the protest was addressed by an activist from Transgender Equality Network Ireland (TENI), an organisation that has now repeatedly found itself embroiled in financial and transparency scandals regarding its operations.

“Our voices, our experiences, our needs take primacy over their fear, hate and division,” the activist said, who claimed that “trans” people had taken to the street to “assert our truth, beauty and strength in defiance of those who would attempt to pathologise, dehumanise and attack”.

“Trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary people are non-binary,” the activist also said. (Read more from “‘Furries’ and Soros-Linked NGOs March at ‘Trans Pride’” HERE)

Flight Attendant Wins Millions After Southwest Fires Her for Being Pro-life: ‘A Victory for Freedom of Speech’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A flight attendant was awarded $5.1 million by a jury on Thursday, finding that Southwest Airlines canned 20-year veteran Charlene Carter for her sincerely held religious beliefs, namely her pro-life views.

Carter expressed her pro-life stance online and pushed back against the Transportation Workers Union of America (TWU) Local 556 union after the group, including president Audrey Stone, attended the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., in 2017. The event receives funding from Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion mill in the country.

“Today is a victory for freedom of speech and religious beliefs. Flight attendants should have a voice and nobody should be able to retaliate against a flight attendant for engaging in protected speech against her union,” Carter told FOX Business on Friday. “I am so humbled and thankful for today’s decision and for everyone who’s supported me these past five years, including the National Right to Work Foundation.”

The National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix slammed the union following the verdict.

“No American worker should have to fear termination, intimidation, or any other reprisal merely for speaking out against having their own money spent, purportedly in their name, to promote an agenda they find abhorrent,” said Mix, who reportedly served pro-bono legal representation to Carter.
