Good morning from Washington, where the FBI apparently believes agents who submit to Black Lives Matter protesters are excellent candidates for promotion. Fred Lucas reports on this and, separately, a proposed overhaul of the Federal Election Commission. In Indiana, school administrators fess up to what our Tony Kinnett has said all along: They do too teach critical race theory. On the podcast, Katrina Trinko interviews a West Bank mayor about coping with the deadly threat of terrorism. Plus: Preston Brashers on the problem with supersizing the IRS; Samantha Aschieris on the Big Apple’s Chinese secret police; and Sarah Perry on a state government that helps runaway children elude parents.
