After 1 white parent complained about "controversial ideas" from Nat'l Book Award finalist Derrick Barnes speaking at three Alabama elementary schools as part of Black History Month in February—Barnes' lectures were cancelled😳

It was never about CRT. It was never about protecting our children. It was always about advancing white supremacy.

Now, hundreds of Black & white children will be deprived meaningful education, because of the whims of 1 white racist parent. smh

Alabama Schools Cancel Black History Month Event With Award-Winning Author

Award-winning children's book author Derrick Barnes was scheduled to visit three schools in Alabama during Black History Month. But just before Barnes' planned appearances in February, the invitation to Hoover and Alabaster City Schools was abruptly canceled.

Essence

GOP Rep Paul Gosar spoke at Nazi & pro-Hitler events, doubled down repeatedly, & still fraternizes with white supremacists.

GOP Rep MT Greene cites Jewish space lasers, speaks at Nazi events, & still fraternizes with white supremacists.

And GOP continues to embrace them into leadership positions.

But please tell us more about how Rep Ilhan Omar unequivocally apologizing for her words & meeting with Jewish leaders for healing is the real antisemitism.🤔

I'm a responsible driver. I support legislation to help prevent irresponsible people from getting behind the wheel. This means preventing DUIs, reckless driving, or unsafe cars. What's my point?

This: Responsible gun ownership requires supporting legislation to help prevent irresponsible people from having easy access to firearms. If you're not willing to ensure that happens, you're not a responsible gun owner, & you are part of the problem of epidemic gun violence in America.

Children killed annually by mass education of Black history: 0

Children killed annually by mass book reading: 0

Children killed annually by drag shows: 0

Children killed annually by mass shootings & firearms: 4400

GOP: The only way to protect our kids is ban history, ban books, ban drag, and arm more kids with guns.

‪Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, remember Anne Frank & her family, who were repeatedly denied entry to the United States. Remember the majority of Americans opposed accepting Jewish refugees.

Remember to continue to stand against antisemitism, as it remains a scourge on humanity today.

It's Black History Month—or as the GOP call it—“Charge Teachers & Librarians with Felonies for Teaching Accurate American History Month.”

That said, I hope everyone (esp my white friends) uses this month as an opportunity to further educate yourself on Black history. To quote Dr. King: "Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

This video is beyond the pale.

Police kill 2200+ Americans a year and kill Black people at 3.5X as much as white people. No other developed country comes even close.

This isn’t justice. It’s tyranny. If the rest of the world had found a better way, why can’t we?
