More Afro-centric curriculum for Chicago public schools

Sixth and ninth grade Chicago students will discuss the book “The Black Athena” and an accompanying full-length Youtube documentary claiming ancient Greeks stole much of its civilization from Egypt, which, Bernal asserts, was populated by blacks. Chicago fifth graders will study Ivan van Sertima’s “They Came Before Columbus” which theorized Africans populated the Americas before Columbus. The eighth grade literacy section unit, titled “Being an Advocate to Social Justice,” includes a poem titled “Racism is Around Me Everywhere” and Tenth graders are introduced to “critical race theory,” which holds that institutional racism and white privilege are pervasive throughout society, says Chuck Ross in this article, See what they’ll be teaching in the Chicago public schools, at The Daily Caller. 

Remus says - It was both comical and depressing to see some Bundy supporters and "conservative" congressmen run like scalded cats when this phoney boogeyman was tossed in front of 'em. Really? After all this time? Some plain talk? Some creative editing by Media Matters and the NY Times? That's all it takes? If so, Reid's people own them. Own them. They say they're going to take on the Evil Empire but they scatter when the usual suspects pull the lamest trick in the book. Back to Mayberry RFD with 'em, as this comment puts it:

The Left will come after you and the other nice people just as they will persecute anyone they see as a threat. The Left will lie about their enemy and nice people on our side will stand aside and watch the target destroyed simply because the target may/may not be in violation of some Mayberry Code of Conduct. You can just as easily be isolated, slandered, and destroyed. The facts won't protect you.

Try try again - Maybe the reason why Bloomberg joined forces with Watts and Moms Demand Action is due to his waning membership in Mayors Against Illegal Guns. From 2013 to February 2014, the group had already lost 50 members. At the end of 2013, the group had less than 1,000 members.

Anti-gun - They lie  because if they told the truth, they would not have an issue to complain about.

Gearing up - According to ATF records, a total of 512,790 machine guns were registered across the country in 2014, more than 571,000 silencers, 2.2 million so-called destructive devices which include grenades and other explosives, 137,201 short-barreled rifles and 131,951 short-barreled shotguns.

Half a century is enough - The American public has woken up to the folly of trying to end racial discrimination by practicing it, dooming affirmative action to a slow death, and the racialist left is not taking the news very well... Justice Sotomayor’s dissent was actually longer than all the other opinions in the case combined. But she was faced with a difficult task in explaining why refusing to treat races differently is actually racial discrimination.

Remus says - Piffle. Affirmative Action is immoral and illegal on its face. Ol' Remus is not surprised the Supreme Court disagrees how much immorality and illegality to allow if the immorality and illegality itself is okay with them. Nor, given the caliber of its members, is he surprised the Supreme Court conducts itself like a small claims court deciding matters retail rather than on principle. As for Sonia Sotomayor, why wouldn't an Affirmative Action judge wave the Affirmative Action bloody shirt? Dance with the one what brung you, right? As above, piffle.

Unintended consequences - The problem with destroying the education system is that the citizens who are produced may no longer even be able to understand propaganda aimed at them.

Unusual Chicago 'business as usual' - Reporter Dave Savini decided to stop by a South Side Subway sandwich shop for a meal. Savini was struck by the fact that the counter of the store at 116th Street and South Halsted was encased in bullet-proof glass... An internet search also found a few bulletproof Subways in Oakland and Detroit.
