Plus: 2 Employees Sue Missouri School District Over ‘Equity’ Training
August 24 2021
Good morning from Washington, where a House bill threatens the integrity of our elections. Hans von Spakovsky talks to Virginia Allen about the legislation and leftists’ attempts to make it “easy to cheat and easy to manipulate election results.” Meanwhile, Democrats are trying to quietly push through a radical abortion agenda. Melanie Israel has details. Plus: Penny Young Nance on the horrifying plight of women and girls in Afghanistan; Tim Murtaugh on the media’s cowardly behavior around President Biden; and Sarah Parshall Perry on two teachers fighting back against racially discriminatory training.
HR 4 “gives federal bureaucrats control over all these state [election] rules all over the country,” says Heritage Foundation’s Hans von Spakovsky. “It is an unbelievable invasion of state sovereignty.”
Supervisors forced the two educators in Missouri to participate in a districtwide “equity” training program focused on racial identity, white supremacy, and systemic racism.
For more than four decades, policymakers have protected taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortions in federal programs. But with President Biden’s blessing, Democrats are changing course.
In recent years, illicit fentanyl and/or its precursors have increasingly been smuggled into the U.S. from China, most often via Mexico and ultimately the southwest border.
News reports are horrific: Afghan parents are told to mark an “X” on their home if they have a daughter 12 or over to make it easier for the Taliban to collect and distribute these girls to Taliban terrorists.
A CBS reporter, asking President Biden about a new poll showing Americans “no longer consider you to be competent, focused, or effective,” added an apology, saying, “Forgive me, I’m just the messenger.”
