The Era of DEI for Conservatives Has Begun

Between 30 and 40 percent of Americans identify as conservative, but conservatives make up only one of every 10 professors in academia, and even fewer in the humanities and most social-science departments. (At least they did in 2014, when the most recent comprehensive study was done. The number today is probably even lower.) Of the money donated by Yale faculty to political candidates in 2023, for example, 98 percent went to Democrats.

Some university leaders worry that this degree of ideological homogeneity is harmful both academically (students and faculty would benefit from being exposed to a wider range of ideas) and in terms of higher education’s long-term prospects (being hated by half the country is not sustainable). Accordingly, Johns Hopkins recently unveiled a partnership with the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a center-right think tank, designed to inject some ideological diversity into the university.

Things are fine as is. There is absolutely no reason to upset the applecart and increase the diversity in academics. It's discriminatory.

What kind of radical woke extremists are supporting this outrageous DEI effort???

Sure…but are they white? That’s the important question.

‘I don’t want my kids hearing that’: Oklahoma parents look to opt out of new social studies content

Families and liberal advocates across the state, relying on parental rights laws that Republicans championed, are drafting letters to exempt their children from new social studies content that conservative leaders enacted this year.

“Now that it’s being codified and now that it’s being brought more into the public eye, the liberals have realized that those are our rights too,” Tulsa parent Lauren Parker said.

The “biggest glaring red flag” in the new social studies standards, Parker said, is language that casts doubt on the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. President Donald Trump has refused to concede defeat to Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 race, despite courts across the country dismissing Trump’s lawsuits claiming election fraud.

State Superintendent Ryan Walters quietly added these claims without acknowledging them until after the standards passed a vote by the Oklahoma State Board of Education. Half of the board later said they were unaware of the new content when they voted on it.

Parker said she contacted her home district, Tulsa Public Schools, to opt her children out of being taught about “election fraud that never happened.”

She also objected to Walters’ new requirements that Oklahoma schools incorporate Bible stories and Jesus’ teachings into their curriculum — an effort she views as Christian nationalism and religious indoctrination.

“I​t literally was one of the most painful experiences of my life growing up in Christianity, and so it’s the last thing that I want my daughters to learn about in school,” Parker said. “Of course, we discuss things, but it’s just that this isn’t about history and facts. It’s about pushing their faith on us, and that’s unacceptable. It’s un-American.”

Not So Fast: Federal Circuit Halts Trade Court Ruling on Trump Tariffs

Going to end up before SCOTUS..

Also even if the Citcuit Court and/or SCOTUS rules against him

2 laws Trump could use to reimpose his tariffs (and why he might use both)

….The most prominent quick strike option is the so-called balance-of-payments authority derived from Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. That power could allow Trump to move quickly, but with a 150-day limit on how long any tariffs can be in place.

The second route is a possible renewed focus on sectoral duties such as "Section 301" or "Section 232" tariffs.

These long-established tariff authorities (one derived from the Trade Act of 1974 and another from a separate Trade Expansion Act of 1962) are ones Trump has used in the past, but with the downside, from his perspective, that they can take time to implement….

Maryland teen arrested for breaking into 121 cars is released hours later — only to loot a dozen more vehicles

A Maryland teen busted for allegedly breaking into 121 cars in a single night was ordered released within hours — and irate local police say more than a dozen more cars were looted the next day.

The suspect — a 16-year-old boy — was arrested late last week by the Laurel Police Department after dozens of auto break-in reports came pouring into their office on the morning of May 4.

The crimes spanned Laurel, surrounding part of Prince George’s County and nearby Howard County, with surveillance footage from across the area capturing a gang of three teens roving around in a stolen car and smashing open the windows of whatever vehicles they came across.

“They were just simply going through neighborhoods and targets of opportunity, breaking into cars,” Laurel Police Chief Russ Hamill told News4. “If there was something in there, they’d steal. If there was nothing in there, they’d move to another car.”

An investigation led police to the teenage suspect’s home, where nearly 20 car keys, credit cars, and other stolen items that “managed to link him to all 121 events throughout the region,” Hamill said in a news conference Wednesday.

After the boy was taken into custody, Laurel Police and the Maryland State Attorney’s office requested that the boy remain in the juvenile detention center due to the scale of his alleged crimes.

“I would offer well over 100 cases in one night, gives you a pretty good record,” Hamill said. “These were not violent crimes, as if that lessens the impact on those 121 victims.”

“Yes, five hours after we were at his house, he was released back into the community, back into the environment that allowed him to be out roaming the streets in all of these counties, late at night and in the early morning, doing these crimes to begin with,” he added.

But police were rebuffed because of the boy’s lack of a previous criminal record — with the state characterizing the offenses as “lower level crime” — and he was ordered to be sent home….

Texan Goes Viral For Calling Out Legislators Over Anti-Trans Bill

“If we were sitting here like 50 years ago, maybe 60 years ago, instead of talking about trans women going into bathrooms, you’d be talking about Black women going into white bathrooms,” Nick Mollberg said at the May 15 committee hearing. “Do y’all ever get tired of being on the wrong side of history? Opposed to women’s suffrage, as you were, conservatives, throughout history? Opposed to interracial marriage, opposed to civil rights.”
...
Mollberg asked the state senators what their grandkids would say to them in the future.

“They’re going to look at you the same way the grandchildren of segregationists looked at their bigoted grandparents,” he said.

Major Sports Finally Ditching Pride Month

Major sports have finally decided it is time to ditch promoting the so-called Pride month of June, and that includes NASCAR and more than a handful of NFL teams.

One noticeable difference from the last few years was the silence from the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, considering they've pushed Pride month hard in the past, despite the fact that its audience isn't interested in seeing it promote the community in the slightest…

….I am happy to report that on Monday, there is still not one post from NASCAR promoting Pride. Clearly, the association understands its audience, and whoever was in charge of these posts in the past is no longer there or has been told to knock it off….

Ten NFL teams followed suit and, as of Monday, have yet to make one reference to June Pride month, the LGBTQ community, etc. The discrepancy between the following post and our report is that the two teams listed below have since made Pride posts…


…As popular social and political commentator Asmongold found, major businesses that once plastered their logos with the Pride flag the moment June 1 rolled around have kept their logos virtue-signal-free.

These include
-Microsoft
-IBM
-Xbox
-Target
-Starbucks

Those last three on the list are especially surprising. Target is one of those brands that's so loud about their participation in Pride that they once offered clothing for "trans kids" to help tuck themselves to appear more like a girl.

So they're dropping from 11-12 months/year to 1 month/year? That's mighty generous.
