A U.S. civil rights official has warned two colleges that their segregated graduation ceremonies for Black, LGBTQ and other minority students are illegal under federal anti-discrimination laws. Attorney Peter Kirsanow, a Black member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, admonished California Polytechnic State University and Oakton Community College in Illinois that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bars them as government-funded schools from offering programs that exclude White, male students. In two separate letters shared with The Washington Times, he cites the act’s Title VI provision that “no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation

But isn't Trans America united in its hatred for straight White men, who are the cause of all bad things?

At my university, going back to the 1990s, there was a main ceremony for all graduates, and then a separate, supplemental ceremony for blacks. And that was at the request of black students.

I'm guessing other colleges will pay absolutely no attention to this, and double down on separate graduations. My first guess is Yale.

Anyone who wants to make real trouble for dem should sue based on Brown v Board of Ed. Separate but equal is illegal. It's easy to imagine what Thurgood Marshall would say about all this. "This is not what we fought for!"

About four years there was video of a graduation ceremony in Florida. The professors asked the parents not to shout or carry on when their teen's name was called. They did the opposite resulting in the next family not hearing their kids names announced. On top of that the black kids did some sort of slow dance and foolery up to the podium. A male teacher had to bodily remove these showoffs from the stage. These graduation ceremonies are long and drawn out enough without this nonsense. Totally undignified behaviour. What is the solution?

The race hustlers will shift their efforts to demanding Blacks have at least equal share of the outstanding achievement recognition, whether they achieve to equal levels or not, and whether they have equal shares of the student count or not. They have 10 percent of the student body and 0.5% of the achievement? They'll expect 50% of the awards, including valedictorian.

Here’s how much US households are spending

American families are shelling out what amounts to $5,000 per year to put gas in their cars—a painful increase from $2,800 just a year ago, according to a new report. The new study by Yardeni Research shows the ever-increasing financial burden borne by US households in recent months as the price of fuel has reached record levels. In March, the annual rate of gasoline spending by US households was at $3,800, according to the study. “No wonder that the Consumer Sentiment Index is so depressed. The wonder is that retail sales have been so surprisingly strong during April and May,” Yardeni said in a note.

President Biden on Wednesday committed to working with Finland and Sweden to “remain vigilant against any threats to our shared security” and “deter and confront aggression” while the two Nordic countries’ applications to join the NATO military alliance are under review. Analysts say the two countries, which have long resisted formal ties to NATO, are in a particularly vulnerable position as their applications for alliance membership are in the pipeline. Russian President Vladimir Putin has bitterly criticized past expansions by NATO into eastern Europe and has talked of unspecified retaliation against Helsinki and Stockholm for their decision to join the 30-nation transatlantic alliance.

I ask for decorum,” said a school board member. “If you don’t want me to read it to you, what was it like for my 15-year-old daughter to have to memorize pornographic material

Two children have been hospitalized in Tennessee after their parents could not find a specific type of formula amid a nationwide shortage. Both children have intestinal disorders that make it difficult for them to absorb nutrients. They were treated at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis after their bodies couldn’t tolerate an alternate type of formula, according to Fox13 Memphis. One of the children was released Tuesday. Dr. Mark Corkins, a pediatric gastroenterologist who treated the children, told Fox13 he gave them IV fluids and nutrients while they search for the formula, though it is not a long-term solution and he expects more kids will land in hospitals.

The company at the center of a baby formula crisis could face criminal charges, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday, as Democrats considered new government controls over the baby formula industry. “I think there might be a need for indictment,” said Mrs. Pelosi, who has realigned the House agenda to address a baby formula shortage. Democrats are also considering legislation that would give the federal government more control over the supply and distribution of formula, particularly when shortages arise. The plan would require formula companies to report inventory to the Food and Drug Administration, which could then move supplies from one state to another to fill empty shelves.

For the last couple of weeks, my parish has had a woman speak after the mass ended pleading for support for a crisis pregnancy center. I recognized the speaker as the head of a pro-life local group that I had once joined years ago. My first involvement was a peaceful protest in front of Rep. Susan Molinari's district office and her voting record did not sit well with this woman. When I heard her yell through a mega phone that G od would punish Molinari for supporting abortion, that ended my connection with this group. Let me be very clear, I am forever pro-life.
