Schooled in Hate: Teaching black kids in public schools to hate the police.

When some 200 parents crowded into a highly charged, heated Loudoun County, Virginia school board hearing on June 22nd to air their displeasure with curricula and teaching in area schools, they were expressing the same discontent that parents across the country have more increasingly begun to feel as they witness the radical ideology that informs much of public-school education today. Though one teacher did give a powerful statement on how she disagreed with the hijacking of education by a core group of teachers with a leftist, extreme ideology, the school board, and presumably a majority of the district’s teachers, were obdurate in their defense of current practices in public school education.

‘Unacceptable and wrong’: Trudeau condemns attacks on churches

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today condemned the wave of vandalism and arson attacks targeting Catholic churches across Canada, saying it’s not the solution to the trauma caused by residential schools.

Speaking to reporters after touring an Ottawa vaccination clinic, Trudeau said there has been “a rise of intolerance and racism and hatred that we’re seeing across the country.”

“It is unacceptable and wrong that acts of vandalism and arson are being seen across the country, including against Catholic churches,” he told reporters.

“… including against Catholic churches” as if it were an afterthought.

This fall’s ballot question: What does your climate policy cost?

Last month’s Swiss referendum on climate change and other environmental policies has received little attention in Canada – even though, as the BBC reported, “it was a huge shock.” The Swiss, stereotypically concerned about the beauty of their Alpine environment, rejected their government’s proposals to fulfil a 2015 commitment to reduce 1990 emission levels by 50 per cent by 2030.

Developer of McKenzie Meadows subdivision in Caledonia cancels build amid ongoing land dispute

For nearly a year, buyers in a planned subdivision in Caledonia have been in limbo, wondering what would become of their McKenzie Road homes — until now.

Foxgate Developments says the build, now a 25-acre front line in the assertion of Indigenous land rights, has been cancelled amid an ongoing occupation by Six Nations land defenders.

“Having exhausted our short-term legal options … we regrettably are writing to declare your agreement of purchase and sale frustrated,” David Hill, president of Ballantry Homes, wrote in a June 28 letter obtained by The Spectator. “This means that your home will no longer be constructed and the agreement of purchase and sale is hereby terminated.”

The Taliban has won the war in Afghanistan

The Taliban has “prevailed” in its battle with the West in Afghanistan, the former head of the British Army has said, as it emerged all UK and US troops will be withdrawn on Sunday.

Writing in The Telegraph, General Lord Dannatt said the mission had been intended to give the Afghan people the choice of a more “moderate and peaceful” life.

“Ultimately, Taliban force of arms has prevailed, and the people of that country have been denied the chance to choose a better way of life,” Lord Dannatt said. “Tragically, a descent into the chaos of civil war seems highly likely.”

HASSAN: The ex-Muslim movement seeks to challenge apostasy in Islam

It is widely known that apostasy in Islam carries a death sentence or at least severe public and private censure. That is why a great number of ex-Muslims hide their disbelief from family, friends, and society. However, some noteworthy ex-Muslims have tried to address this phenomenon by proclaiming their apostasy and encouraging others to do the same.

Recent Petitions Singling Out Israel for Condemnation Are Anti-Semitic

“The bigots who promote these petitions, and the useful idiots who sign them, cannot possibly be motivated by a concern for universal human rights. If they were, they would focus on nations with really horrendous human rights records, such as Iran, which hangs gays, China, which imprisons Muslim dissidents, Russia, which murders dissenters, Saudi Arabia, which oppresses women, Syria, which gases its own people, as well as Palestinians, and many other nations that face no external threats.”

Palestinians’ rage grows — against their own governing authority

The Israeli-occupied West Bank is no stranger to political upheaval. But in the past week, Palestinian protesters have directed rising anger against their own government, the Palestinian Authority, which exercises limited self-rule in parts of the territory.

Hundreds took to the streets in several towns over the past weekend to protest the violent death in Palestinian custody of Nizar Banat, a well-known critic of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority.

Last weekend in Ramallah, protesters waved Palestinian flags alongside pictures of Banat, with some calling for an end to the long-term rule of the Palestinian president. At one point, they were met with teargas fired by Palestinian security forces in full riot gear, while others were physically attacked by plainclothes officers.

Boy Scouts of America: $850m deal agreed over sexual abuse claims

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) has reached a $850m (£617m) settlement with some 60,000 people over claims of historic sexual abuse.

Lawyers say it will be the largest sexual abuse settlement in US history.

In terms of reported numbers, it dwarves similar complaints made against the Catholic Church in the country.

The BSA has apologised to victims and filed for bankruptcy last year, saying it would set up a compensation trust for victims of sexual abuse.

Judge Orders Minneapolis to Hire More Police Officers As Violent Crime Skyrockets

A judge has ordered the city of Minneapolis to hire more police officers after eight residents sued over a spike in crime they believe is due to the lack of enough law enforcement on the streets.

The hilariously ironic ruling comes a little more than than a year after social justice activists demanded Minneapolis cut – and even completely dismantle – the city’s police department following the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after being restrained by a white police officer.

An illegal alien out of jail on bail in New Mexico is now accused of beheading a man and then kicking the man’s head around like a soccer ball, Breitbart News has learned.
