France Deports Muslim Family Who Beat Their Daughter And Shaved Her Head For Having A Relationship With A Christian - "France has deported a Muslim family that beat their daughter for having a relationship with a non-Muslim boy. The family from Bosnia is said to have not only beaten the girl but to have also shaven her head as punishment. The girl was reported as being 17 at the time, while her boyfriend was believed to be 20. The age of consent in France is 15. The girl's parents and her siblings were deported from France and flown directly to Sarajevo airport while the girl was allowed to remain in France. They will not be allowed to return for at least 5 years. An aunt and uncle of the girl were also deported... "The two families knew each other and their relationship was not a problem, but when they started talking about marriage, the girl's parents said they were Muslims and that the girl could not marry a Christian." When the family learned of the relationship the couple ran away for four days but later returned. Upon returning, both were attacked with the girl's mother launching the first blow. The girl was beaten so badly that she broke a rib. Her head was then shaved in order to humiliate her. The boy and his parents then went to the French police."

Sooner or Later, Ability Rules - "There’s a fact that you hear a lot about in behind-the-scenes higher education chats that seems not to have penetrated with the public: remediation has gotten harder and more expensive, and over time the problem grows and grows. Why have remediation costs exploded? Look at the graph above. There is no underlying trend in educational data that would suggest that this vast improvement is underwritten by actual student learning gains. We decided the high school graduation rate was a national scandal, we found that we could not actually bring students up to standards, so we cheated and graduated them anyway... unprepared students get into college under misguided access programs or simply through the financial desperation of the schools. Once their lack of ability is apparent, the choices are to either let them drop out and start their lives with student loan debt and no degree, or to simply abandon the idea of rigor and further devalue the meaning of a college education. Why does that transfer policy persist at CUNY? One, the senior colleges need the enrollments to stay in business, and two, because leadership views it as an equity program and conditions that supposedly increase equity simply cannot be challenged within CUNY. It’s broken, everyone knows it’s broken, nothing changes. Many people seem content to kick the can further down the road. Even a half-decade ago when I was in grad school there was a burgeoning movement to reject the notions of grading and assessment entirely. (They’re as old as education, but ah well.) Several of my peers said directly that they never gave bad grades, even to people who didn’t once show up or submit an assignment, because grades are the hand of the patriarchy or whatever. You can call that a fringe position, but of course grade inflation has been rampant in college for decades; students are consumers now and eventually consumers get what they want. Now, with a social justice pretext presenting itself, I think eventually most colleges are going to take the path of least resistance and just give almost everybody As and call it a day. Fewer dropouts = more tuition dollars, after all. At scale, we’re already seeing an admissions free-for-all at all but top-tier US colleges. Policy pressure in K-12 has been pushing more unqualified students into the college pipeline from below for decades; the colleges pluck more and more of them up from above to stay fiscally solvent. But the best-prepared students were already going, and now there’s no more low-hanging fruit, and the kids they’re recruiting simply are not prepared and don’t belong in college. So they’ll just abandon rigor... Who is going to show up at Google and tell them that they have to give a programming job to someone who can’t code, because their lack of skills is just another equally legitimate “way of knowing”? In less than 10 years, the United States has ping ponged from an expensive and futile standardize-and-test regime that strained teachers and stressed kids to a still-developing but empowered movement to abandon the very concepts of standards and assessment"

‘Woke’ Coke Pauses Diversity Plan After ‘Intense Backlash,’ Plan Author Suddenly Resigns - "Coca-Cola has pressed pause on a controversial “diversity plan” after what Fox News described as an “intense backlash,” and the company’s general counsel, Bradley Gayton, who authored the plan, has now abruptly resigned... “Coca-Cola debuted a new policy this year implementing a diversity quota for the outside counsel it retains, saying it will only hire law firms that commit to providing 15 percent of billed time from black attorneys, higher than the percentage of African Americans in the U.S. population.” Law firms working with the soft drink giant, were also required, under the new policy, to “commit that at least 30% of each of billed associate and partner time will be from diverse attorneys, and of such amounts at least half will be from Black attorneys.”... Legal experts, Fox Business noted, questioned “whether Gayton’s policies violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which says employers can’t treat people differently based on their race.”... Coca-Cola quietly announced that Gayton had departed his role as general counsel with a “golden parachute” — an unusual event given that Gayton had worked for the company for less than a year."

Carlson: Baltimore Has Higher Murder Rate than Guatemala, Honduras -- Why Don't Baltimoreans Have a Right to Asylum in Central America? - "Democrats justify their ideological approach to border migration, which means allowing asylum claims from Central America based on the threats to safety when there were places in the United States more dangerous based on statistics... 'wasn’t it Spain that brutally colonized Latin America? So, shouldn’t Madrid be kicking into the reconstruction fund here? Or is European Spain now considered a nation of color and therefore blameless? We’ll have to check with the BU Professor on that and get back to you... it might make more sense for people on say the South Side of Chicago to apply for refugee status in El Salvador, not the other way around, because it is less dangerous in El Salvador... why don’t people who live in Baltimore have a right to apply for asylum in Central America? Thanks to good leadership, El Salvador is getting safer. Meanwhile, thanks to people like Kamala Harris, our country is becoming far more dangerous.... Indya Kincannon is somehow the Mayor of Knoxville. She recently announced that she would personally join in painting a BLM mural, quote: “I understand now more than ever, it is not okay just to stand up to justice inequity,” she told reporters. “We must all be actively antiracist.” Antiracist? So what are the practical consequences of so-called antiracism? What we know, we see it all around us. The consequences are more misery and more race hatred. No question about that. Ask your kids what they’re learning in school. Behind the scenes, this ideology means fewer and less effective police. Crime spikes, drug addicts living in the park, children murdered in drive-bys. That’s all still happening across the country. In fact, it’s happening more, but getting less coverage. You rarely hear the phrase “defund the police” these days. Why? Because normal people of all colors, of all political registrations, normal people found that slogan terrifying and deranged because it is. So Democrats told their troops to pick a new euphemism. But the idea didn’t disappear, it is still with us.'"

American Influencer Who Sold E-Book On Moving To Bali Is Being Deported - "An American woman who moved to Bali last year is facing deportation after promoting the sale of an e-book she wrote with her girlfriend to help others move to Indonesia. Kristen Gray and her girlfriend, Saundra, had been living in Bali for more than a year as “digital nomads.” It wasn’t until a Twitter thread she posted Saturday about her experience in Bali, while promoting the sale of the couple’s e-book, Our Bali Life Is Yours, that backlash started brewing... The thread sparked massive outrage among Indonesians and the wider Southeast Asian community. They said Gray was encouraging an influx of Westerners to travel to a country that has closed its borders to foreigners over the worsening COVID-19 situation. It’s unclear if the couple paid any income taxes to the Indonesian government while working in Bali, but Saundra had suggested in a tweet that they were only paying taxes in the US because they were earning US dollars. As OneZero reported last year, many foreigners work and stay in Bali on a tourist visa to avoid paying income taxes to the Indonesian government. The law requires those who want to work to obtain an official permit, but many who work remotely maintain tourist or other temporary visas against the government’s requirements, and earn foreign currency that they declare in their home country. Many who have defended Gray say she is facing this level of criticism because she is a Black woman, and the responses to Indonesians calling out Gray have also been inundated with racist and xenophobic insults. Others have pointed to outrage over incidents involving white and other non-Black tourists... Her remarks about Bali being queer-friendly and her attempt to encourage people to travel to the country during the pandemic were unsettling to the public, the government said. She also conducted business through selling her e-book and offering consultations for moving to Bali, which authorities said was against the law."
American 'digital nomad' to be deported from Bali after LGBT and lifestyle tweets - "Kristen Gray wrote about the perks of her decision to move to the tropical island of Bali with her girlfriend, describing it as the "perfect medicine", a place that was LGBT friendly, and where the low cost of living afforded her a luxurious lifestyle. "The island has been amazing because of our elevated lifestyle at a much lower cost of living. I was paying $1,300 for my LA studio. Now I have a treehouse for $400," she posted, with a picture of her new, light-filled Balinese abode... "Hi everyone, first of all I'm not guilty, I have not overstayed my visa, I have not made money in Indonesian rupiah in Indonesia. I put out a statement about LGBT, and I've been deported because I'm LGBT," Gray told reporters... Her lawyer Erwin Siregar told Reuters that Gray had a social cultural visa"

American Woman Who Sparked Controversy Will Be Deported From Indonesia - "Now if any other person wrote “safety” as their number one reason for moving out of Los Angeles, they would be labeled a racist. Indonesia isn’t the safest place in Asia, however, compared to California or specifically Los Angeles—Indonesia is extremely safe. Now, is it racist to admit an Asian country is safer than the most diverse and progressive state in the Union?... Many netizens called out Gray for attempting to gentrify Bali. Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s most populous nation and its largest economy, however, around a quarter of the population lives just above the poverty line. 10% of the population lives in extreme poverty. Many African-American netizens blasted Indonesian citizens for calling out Gray. They labeled all Indonesians as “racist” and “white supremacist.” One African-American woman wrote, “I wonder if opening nails salons, beauty supply stores, and advertising specific attire in black neighborhoods would be considered gentrification…” Other African-American netizens wrote, “Lmfao now if all Black people were to stop buying from and supporting their business today, then they’d really have their panties in a twist. Don’t bite the hand that feeds y’all sweetie. Just stay quiet.”"

'Racist agenda': Proposed Newmarket body rub parlour bylaw would harm low-income Asian workers, critics say - "A proposed Newmarket body rub parlour bylaw would discriminate against low-income, non-English-speaking Asian employees working in massage parlours, critics say... "Massage parlour workers don’t all engage in sex work, sex work is not illegal in Canada, and most sex workers aren’t trafficked," Elene Lam, executive director of Butterfly, the Asian and Migrant Sex Workers Support Network, said... "Thousands of Asian workers in massage parlours have explicitly and repeatedly stated that they are not trafficked victims and that they want to continue working in these industries under safe and fair working conditions."... "It is extremely racist and sexist to fetishize all workers, particular those of Asian descent, by assuming all of them provide sexual services and calling the businesses brothels." However, Lam argued people need to be respected whether they provide sexual services or not."

Lesbian couple launch landmark 'gay tax' discrimination case against NHS - "A married lesbian couple are to launch a landmark “gay tax” discrimination case against the NHS after they faced higher IVF costs because of their sexual orientation. Megan Bacon-Evans, 34, and her wife Whitney, 33, have accused their NHS fertility branch of discriminating against them because they are gay. The local clinical commissioning group in Windsor requires “same-sex partnerships, single women and couples unable to undertake vaginal intercourse”, to pay privately for 12 IVF treatments before becoming eligible for NHS help. However, heterosexual couples only need to signal that they have been trying to conceive for two years before accessing treatment."
Biology is homophobic. Clearly the solution is to open up IVF to everyone with no pre-requisites and just hike taxes to pay for it

‘No White Guilt’ Signs Causing Big Uproar In Montgomery County Community - "A Montgomery County community is looking into signs that seem designed to promote racial division. The signs have just three words on them but they’re causing a big uproar in the Harleysville area. “I saw a yard sign that said ‘no white guilt’... “I was horrified by it,” she said. That prompted a woman, who didn’t want her face on camera, to take action and throw some of the signs away. “It disturbs me that anyone would want to instill fear”... State Sen. Maria Collett, who represents parts of Montgomery and Bucks Counties, tells Eyewitness News that hateful language and racial discord has got to stop.”
Naturally, we are still told that liberals don't want white guilt. But just as they get upset by signs saying it's okay to be white...

These are the same people who excoriate those who say that people who hate the US should just leave. Clearly if you are an immigrant and you disagree with liberals you are a "parasite" and need to "go home", even if you're brown

Robert Moses and His Racist Parkway, Explained. - Bloomberg - "Robert A. Caro’s monumental 1974 biography of Robert Moses, The Power Broker. In one of the book's most memorable passages, Caro reveals that Moses ordered his engineers to build the bridges low over the parkway to keep buses from the city away from Jones Beach—buses presumably filled with the poor blacks and Puerto Ricans Moses despised. The story was told to Caro by Sidney M. Shapiro, a close Moses associate and former chief engineer and general manager of the Long Island State Park Commission... Moses was complex. He gave Harlem a glorious pool and play center—now Jackie Robinson Park—one of the best public works of the New Deal era anywhere in the United States. A crowd of 25,000 attended the opening ceremony in August, 1936, the 369th Regiment Band playing “When the Music Goes ‘Round and ‘Round” before Parks Commissioner Moses was introduced—to great applause—by Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. And contrary to a claim in The Power Broker, Moses clearly meant buses to serve his “little Jones Beach” in the Rockaways—Jacob Riis Park. While oriented mainly toward motorists (the parking lot was once the largest in the world), it is simply not true that New Yorkers without cars were excluded. The original site plan included bus drop-off zones, and photographs from the era plainly show buses loading and unloading passengers. “Bus connections with the B.M.T. and I.R.T. in Brooklyn,” reported the Brooklyn Eagle when the vast seaside playground opened 80 years ago this summer, “make the park easily accessible to non-motorists.” Further complicating the bridge story is the history of the American motor parkway. The Southern State, begun in the summer of 1926, was not as boldly inventive as Caro and others have claimed. It was, rather, copied whole-cloth from several prototypes in Westchester County. The Bronx, Hutchinson, and Saw Mill River parkways were all either completed or under construction when Moses began planning the Southern State. These were revolutionary roads—set in broad park-like reservations, with grade-separated intersections and access limited to interchanges. They were among the first modern highways in the world, emulated far and wide. When Moses created the Long Island State Park Commission in 1924, he naturally turned to Westchester for guidance. He even tried to recruit the design genius behind its vast park and parkway system—Gilmore D. Clarke. Clarke agreed to be a consultant, which is why the Southern State—the first Moses parkway on Long Island—is nearly identical to those Clarke laid out north of the city. Right down to the bridges. Low-slung and clad in ashlar stone, the bridges were essential to parkway stagecraft—part of a suite of details meant to create a sense of romantic rusticity. The parkway was just that—a way through a park. It was designed to both literally and figuratively remove you from the city, a Central Park for the motorist. Berms and lush plantings screened off-site views disruptive of the reverie, creating an almost cinematic impression of driving through a vast pastoral landscape. As leisure and recreation infrastructure—park before way—commercial traffic was excluded on all the early American parkways. This meant not only trucks, but buses. Banning big, noisy commercial vehicles was essential to the aesthetics of the parkway, and had nothing to do with racial discrimination. There would have been no need to use the bridges on the Southern State as barricades of a sort; buses were not allowed on this or any other state parkway in the first place."
Another liberal myth busted
Coastal Carolina University Is Trying To Fire a Professor for Saying Hurt Feelings Were Not 'a Big Deal' - " "Sorry but I don't think it's a big deal," wrote the professor, Steven Earnest, in reference to the matter. "I'm just sad people get their feelings hurt so easily. And they are going into Theater?"... a visiting artist spoke with two students of color who explained that they were hoping to connect with other non-white students on campus. The three of them subsequently wrote down the names of other students of color who might wish to connect and discuss their shared struggles. They left this list of names on a classroom's whiteboard; the next class saw it and thought that non-white students had been singled out for some nefarious purpose. A protest was planned. The diversity committee investigated—and swiftly cleared up—the matter. "We believe it is important to inform the student body that the intent behind the list was as a resource for new students who are looking to be in community with other BIPOC students," wrote the committee in an email to campus. Nevertheless, the committee opined that students' hurt feelings were completely valid. "This in no way undermines the feelings that any of you feel about this incident," the email continued. "It should have never happened and the DEI committee will be discussing with faculty and students the gravity of the situation and how to handle these requests in the future." Earnest rightly objected to the tone of this email. In response, students accused him of racial insensitivity and demanded he be fired. The university instructed him not to come to class and launched an investigation. According to Earnest, the university has initiated a "termination process," despite FIRE's protestation that punishing the professor is an obvious violation of his academic freedom rights."

Anti-Racist Messaging Is Failing With Voters. So Why Can't Liberals Quit It? - ""Political scientists have really been doing this type of research for decades and they've always shown that associating these policies with racial minorities makes people less likely to support them," English told me in an interview. "But given the shift in racial attitudes in the past few years we thought that maybe the story would be different this time around."... What they found is that the class frame was generally more effective than either the race frame or the race plus class frame... It wasn't just that some white voters were turned off by race-oriented messaging. For African Americans, the only minority group surveyed in high enough numbers to draw a conclusion, the race frame seemed to have no advantage over the class frame... Interestingly, English and Kalla did find one group that was slightly receptive to the race framing, but it might not be the one why you expect: It was white Democrats... My guess is that the progressive movement is simply captured by an upper-class elite for whom anti-racism is now an all-dominating philosophy. Sure, it may not persuade your average voter—white or Black or anyone else—to support your political party to frame every message in terms of race, but it probably does impress your social cohort. There's a reason elite prep schools are now embracing critical race theory, while most working-class communities and public schools would find some of its tenets esoteric and unrelatable. And what this latest study shows is that this elite cohort that runs everything from the major news media to the universities to America's political parties is deeply out of touch, not only with average Americans but perhaps its own political interests. Self-defeating messaging is self-defeating, even if it makes you feel good and impresses people who already agree with you. There was a time when progressives were not so enthralled by the whims of one social class. They aspired to talk like ordinary people and persuade the vast majority, not the elites who run our universities and corporate HR departments. Take, for instance, the civil rights leader Jesse Jackson. Having grown up poor and cut his teeth in the civil rights movement, Jackson has always thought hard about building diverse coalitions and persuading the largest number of people possible to support his positions... "Most poor people are not lazy. They are not Black. They are not brown. They are mostly white and female and young," he said during a speech at the Democratic convention. "But whether white, Black, or brown, a hungry baby's belly turned inside out is the same color: Color it pain, color it hurt, color it agony." Rather than argue for the interest of one racial group or another, Jackson was preaching solidarity. He was telling the audience that people of all skin colors should care about hunger, not just because they should care about their fellow man but because they, too, could be one of those hungry people one day. It's that kind of messaging that progressives should use to pass their policies."
