‘I won’t be pathologized for being White’: Man resigns from school district over ‘white privilege’ training
This is quite a letter to the Manchester School District, aka “The Temple of Equity,” from Daniel Concannon, who addresses his resignation letter to “Human Wedgie McGee,” the program director of something called the 21CCLC Program. . . .
At American Thinker, Charlotte Cushman explains why students
should have the opportunity to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in the
classroom:
. . .
Should the Pledge be
recited? And should children be taught the Pledge of
Allegiance? Here is what I wrote to a group of teachers who were
discussing whether or not a child should learn the Pledge of Allegiance:
There are a lot of lies being told
about the United States and its history right now. The goal is to
get people to hate our country, divide us, and make our country and Western
civilization fall. (I have literally heard people say
this.) Our country was the first country on Earth that was created that
recognized individual rights — that each individual had a right to pursue
his/her own happiness as long as the rights of others were
respected. Before the creation of this country, people had to live
their lives for a king or some other authority. Slavery was common
at that time in history, and while it took time for change to happen (as it
always does), it was the idea in the Declaration of Independence that all men
are created equal that led to the Civil War and ended slavery in this country.
I understand that some people think
that teaching children the Pledge is a form of
indoctrination. Indoctrination is repeating an idea or belief to
someone until they believe it. As this idea or belief is repeated,
no proof is given for it, and no questions or discussions are
allowed. The Pledge is not indoctrination if children are taught the
accurate history of our country and understand the meaning of the pledge to our
flag. The United States flag is a symbol for freedom, and freedom is
essential to life. It stands for individual rights, and individual
rights are essential in order to pursue happiness. When I pledge to
the flag, in my mind I know that I am pledging to the original ideals put forth
by the founding fathers: life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. Therefore, it is logical to say that you're teaching
children about the fidelity that the Pledge represents — the fidelity of the
concept of individual rights.
By reciting the Pledge of
Allegiance, Americans promise to be true to these ideals, not to take freedom
for granted, and to remember the countless men, women, and children who have
given their lives through the centuries so Americans can live peacefully
today. When children recite the Pledge, they are given the
opportunity to think about their roles as citizens, the founding principles of
their country, and may be incentivized to think more about the meaning and
significance of the Pledge. The Pledge can stir up curiosity
regarding their country and the desire to learn more about early American
history.
Only when a person understands the
significance and profound meaning of freedom that America has provided can one
feel a stab of pride and patriotism. However, patriotism cannot be
forced upon anyone. Therefore, the recitation should not be
compulsory, which means no punitive action should be taken against children who
do not recite the Pledge.

She makes good points.

Ohio's Governor Perfectly Illustrates
What Republican Impotence Looks Like
Ohio GOP Gov. Mike DeWine has been
the perfect encapsulation of everything wrong with the Republican Party for a
while now. His handling of COVID has been marked by an inconsistent, overly cowardly approach whereby he was behind the
curve on everything from lockdowns to mask mandates.
Unlike Gov. Ron DeSantis of
Florida, who has fought oppressive mandates at every level, DeWine
didn’t take an objective look at what was working and what wasn’t. Rather, he
sought to protect himself, putting in place oppressive mandates and restrictions
that appear to have amounted to nothing at all. In fact, Ohio and Florida ended
up with nearly identical COVID death rates despite their wildly
different policy decisions in regards to the pandemic.
DeWine has been so bad that he
didn’t even lift his state’s mask mandate until June 2nd, months and months
after it became clear masks weren’t anywhere close to a silver bullet. Worse,
he actually encouraged schools to keep masking children up –something that
lacks any scientific justification, at this point, with teachers largely being
vaccinated.
But it’s not just COVID where
DeWine has curled up into the fetal position, looking for CNN approval more
than doing what’s right. On the transgender sports issue, he’s already promised
to veto any legislation sent to him by Ohio’s GOP legislature that deals with
the issue.
There’s more here. And
with Jim Renacci running for Gov., well, that’d just be more
of the same.

Sundance at Conservative Treehouse published President Trump’s
statement about Deep State RINO AG William Barr. He introduces the statement:
After being duped, played and
ultimately conned, by the duplicitous and Machiavellian deep state apparatchik
known as former AG Bill Barr {Go Deep Here} it is no surprise to CTH why President Trump
would be a level of angry that’s almost unfathomable.
Here’s some of Mr. Trump’s statement:
“RINO former Attorney General Bill
Barr failed to investigate election fraud, and really let down the American
people. Even the scam that took place in Georgia of ballot stuffing on camera,
he couldn’t see what was wrong with it.
Just like he failed to understand
the Horowitz report and let everyone down with respect to getting a timely
investigation (where’s Durham?) on all of the corruption of the Obama-Biden
Administration.
It’s people in authority like Bill
Barr that allow the crazed Radical Left to succeed.
. . .
If there was no fraud, why are
Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and other States spending so much
time and effort on exposing the fraud? We already know that:
•101,789 “obsolete” voters on the rolls in Georgia, including 18,486 dead people
•Ballot batches off by up to 17.5 percent in Maricopa County, Arizona
•“Massive” chain of custody problems with drop boxes in Georgia, missing hundreds of thousands of records for months after the election
•Thousands of ballots “wheeled in through the back door” in Fulton County days after the election
•“Double feeding” ballots in Fulton County, Georgia
•Nearly 200,000 illegal “indefinitely confined” votes in Wisconsin that violated Voter ID law
•“Cash for votes” scheme in Nevada
•Illegal alien votes
•Election law changes were not authorized by the State Legislatures, which is mandated by the U.S. Constitution
There’s more here. It
was always going to be an uphill battle against the Deep State, especially getting a conservative and principled nominee for AG – one that was not already
compromised by Deep State membership.
Such a nominee would probably never have gotten confirmed by the
Senate. Still, it is frustrating to see
how much effort it takes just to pull back the curtain.

Carissa Veliz has an unsettling report published on The Daily Mail:
Read this and you won't click 'I agree' ever again:
We're being spied on by phones, computers, TVs, cars –
even the doorbells. Worse, argues Oxford professor
CARISSA VELIZ,we're doing it to ourselves
by giving away our data
Most of us know that our
personal data is being collected, stored and analysed thanks to our
relationship with our mobile phones, computers and the internet. But are we
really aware of the full extent of the privacy invasions into our daily lives?
Let's start at dawn. What is the
first thing you do when you wake up? You probably check your phone.
By doing that, you are informing a
whole host of busybodies – your smartphone manufacturer, app developers and
your mobile company, as well as intelligence agencies (if they happen to be
watching you) – what time you wake up, where you've been sleeping and who you
share a bed with, providing they keep their phone with them too.
If you wear a smart watch it will
have recorded your every movement in bed – including, of course, any sexual
activity. Share a picture or record your thoughts on Facebook, or type a search
into Google,
and that information is tracked and stored.
Perhaps you've run out of sugar and
you decide to ask your neighbour if she has some spare. Standing outside her
door, you notice there's a new smart doorbell, which records images of those
who come near. It's anybody's guess where the footage is going to end up and
what it will be used for.
You turn on your smart TV. It is
probably identifying everything you watch and sending the data to the manufacturer,
third parties, or both.
If you had time to read the privacy
policies of the objects you buy, you would also have noticed that your TV picks
up and records your spoken words and reserves the right to transmit them to
other organisations.
