| A Georgia school district is investigating after a 7-year-old student, “the only white girl in her class,” according to her father, was cast to play a segregationist in a school play. In a video of the play, 7-year-old Anastasia Bertram, playing the part of a segregationist, yelled at a group of black children to “go away, you don’t belong here!” She then marched with a sign that read, “Go home,” on one side and “Cursed is the man who integrates” on the other, ABC-affiliated WSB-TV reported. Douglas County School District said it is investigating

Comments:
The rich punchline is that the girl volunteered for the part after a black classmate proved unable to follow instructions or learn the lines.
Still, a play like this, with kids this age and with a near 100% black student body, does nothing but paint a target on the white kids´ backs. This is what private schools are for; the parents are derelict in their obligations to their daughter.

Oh, how I can identify with that. I was moved to St. Louis to live with my Step Mother about 1957. I was late to enroll, and the only school that had any space was an all black elementary school. To me, it was just another school. My foster parents where my galavanting dad had left me were a black family. I lived with them for almost three months! They were the most loving people I had known in my life up to that point.
But, my indoctrination into racism began in that all black school. I learned how to fight that year- and I mean really fight. My teacher would put a complex problem on the board (just math but, I had not learned how to work with fractions yet) and deliberately call me to the board to work it. When i couldn´t she would then call the very smart little black girl up to work it correctly- Wham! Then she would always say, "See children, the white boy can´t do simple math. We (meaning black folks) can." And naturally, my adventures with my classmates began. although I did not become a racist, I certainly learned how to identify racists.
Racism is as evil as torture or war or slavery. But, sometimes, people, regardless of color, simply can´t put it away.

Anyone know the race of the teacher in that 99% black classroom? It will matter when the parents complain.

It would be instructive if the little girl had a big sign around her neck that said, "Democrat"
I wouldn´t hold my breath though.

Unfortunately with today’s racially based political situation, which includes the indoctrination of very young children in the public schools, #1 has it exactly right, as the chips are stacked against that little girl big time, and it is not the first or second grade children’s fault.

Why were they allowed to have a segregated school before she arrived? Don´t they fine schools that don´t have the ´right numbers´?
Blacks scream about equality but that´s now what they want.

The Food and Drug Administration announced a voluntary recall of a widely prescribed blood pressure medication made in China, reviving fears about the safety of imported drugs. Three companies that sell the generic drug, valsartan, in the United States agreed to recall it after the FDA said might be tainted by N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), considered a probable human carcinogen. The agency is still investigating, but said the contamination was believed to be related to changes in the way that valsartan was manufactured. (Snip) It is distributed in the United States by three companies: Major Pharmaceuticals; Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd.: and Solco Healthcare.

It’s hard to believe that a young-adult book about a male teenager on an exciting adventure might be considered controversial. But we live in increasingly contentious times when everything — from where you eat to what you wear — is suffused with politics. “Camp Valor,” a young-adult thriller by Scott McEwen and Hof Williams out this month, tracks a secretive government training camp for troubled teens trying to turn their lives around.

By the end of July, two years after a rule was issued, a nationwide ban on smoking in public housing will be in effect. As of July 31, the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department will forbid the use of cigars, pipes and cigarettes in all public housing and common areas in addition to any outdoor area that comes within 25 feet of public housing property. While the ban does not include e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco and snuff, there could be restrictions on these products in some areas.

As other officers gave chase, Lopes allegedly squeezed off three more rounds, missing his pursuers but fatally striking an unidentified elderly woman

The BLM manages 248.3 million acres of public land, more than any other agency, according to a March 2017 report by the Congressional Research Service.

Enraged that a British cave diver called his idea to rescue the Thai soccer team for what it was — “a p.r. stunt [with] absolutely no chance of working” — Musk took to Twitter and called him a “pedo.” Just like that, Tesla’s market value plummeted by $2 billion.

CLEARWATER — Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri announced Friday that his agency will not arrest a man deputies say shot and killed another man during an argument over a handicap parking space. The incident falls under Florida’s self-defense law known as "stand your ground," the sheriff said during a news conference. The law gives immunity to those in fear of their lives who use force to defend themselves. The shooting "is within the bookends of ‘stand your ground’ and within the bookends of force being justified," the sheriff said, later adding, "I’m not saying I agree with it, but I don’t make

Before the word "resignation" became a euphemism for being fired, it connoted a sense of public integrity and personal honor. Attorney General Elliot Richardson and his deputy, William Ruckelshaus, showed both qualities when they resigned from the Nixon administration during the Saturday Night Massacre in 1973. Jimmy Carter’s secretary of state, Cyrus Vance, did likewise when he resigned during the Iran hostage crisis in 1980. Assuming Mike Pompeo and John Bolton still have their own senses intact, they, too, should resign following the epic disgrace of the U.S.-Russia summit inHelsinki on Monday. So should their senior staff. I don’t suggest

In the past few days, President Trump has given at least some Republicans reason to express displeasure over his relationship with Russia. First he performed a pathetic ritual of subservience before Vladimir Putin, standing beside the Russian leader — after a private meeting between the two, which no aides were permitted to attend — and dismissing the copious evidence of a Russian attack on the 2016 election in deference to Putin’s word. Then we learned that Putin had suggested that we make Americans available to the Kremlin for questioning, including Michael McFaul, the former U.S. ambassador to Russia, in exchange

As many as 5.7 million noncitizens may have voted in the 2008 election, which put Barack Obama in the White House.

In a rehash of last year´s controversy, the President took to Twitter to blast NFL commissioner Roger Godell for not doing enough to stem the tide of players protesting racial inequality in America. ´The NFL National Anthem Debate is alive and well again - can´t believe it!,´ Trump wrote in the tweet. ´Isn´t it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart? The $40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand.
