San Francisco Political Correctness Leads To Chaos . . . In Schools In The Heartland

Experts slam [progressive] transition from education to racial indoctrination . . . WND - Video: URL |
1.) 'White Privilege' Chaos Sweeps Schools Nationwide
"Schools in St. Paul, Minnesota, have paid millions of dollars to a secretive consulting company to train children in the theory of 'white privilege,' only to unleash chaos and massive disciplinary problems. Now, reports indicate such lessons have been taking place at schools nationwide in what some experts believe is a deliberate transformation of education into political indoctrination.
The 'white privilege' classes were implemented with the assistance of the Pacific Education Group, a San Francisco based firm that claims to be 'committed to achieving racial equity in education.'
In a recent appearance on the 'O’Reilly Factor,' Aaron Benner, a teacher in the St. Paul school system, charged the courses led to a breakdown in school discipline and alleged black students were being held to different standards." . . . WND - Read More

2.) Students Demand Conservative / Libertarian Columnist Be Fired: Views Are 'Racist, Unsafe.'
"A student at Duke University who has penned columns for the Duke Chronicle that favor conservative and libertarian principles is now the target of a student protest demanding his termination as the campus newspaper’s opinion editor in a petition that calls the columnist’s views 'racist' and 'unsafe.'
Duke student Jonathan Zhao – a rising senior tapped as the new opinion page editor of the Duke Chronicle – has written columns in the past titled 'Gay marriage is not a right,' 'Equal pay is anti-feminist' and 'A farewell to arms control.'
Zhao has also held positions with the Romney for President campaign and the libertarian think tank the Cato Institute, according to his LinkedIn page. While he has often touted positions counter to mainstream politically correct beliefs on campus, the tipping point against Zhao came after he penned a column May 27 titled “The plight of black America” that stated: 'The greatest obstacle to the advancement of black Americans isn’t racism or past injustices but rather the black community itself.' PetitionImage
Between that and Zhao’s appointment as opinion page editor, it was all too much for Duke University’s left-leaning students, who savagely smeared Zhao’s reputation in a Change.org petition demanding Chronicle editors fire him. The petition is headlined: 'We are demanding the immediate removal of Jonathan Zhao as editor of the Duke Chronicle’s editorial page.” . . . TheCollegeFix - Read More
3.) Not Your Father's America. Disney Celebrates Its Most Profitable Year Of All Time: By Replacing Long-Term Employees With Immigrant Workers
"What motivates a company to replace its American workers with H-1B guest workers? One word: Profit. H-1B guest workers are cheaper than American workers and don’t have much bargaining power, and any company would be foolish not to take advantage of this highly lucrative business model that has been inadvertently created by Congress and multiple presidential administrations. Of course, this business model is paid for by destroying the livelihoods and dignity of tens of thousands of American workers. The costs are also borne by American taxpayers, through foregone tax revenue and the additional social services that need to be provided for those newly unemployed American workers. . . .
It’s important to point out that Disney is not an outlier, it’s the norm. Loopholes in the H-1B program make it irresistible to corporations, whose sole goal has become to maximize profits and shareholder value. Appealing to patriotism, corporate social responsibility, or even a sense of moral decency is a fool’s game. If you don’t believe me, look no further than Disney, which brags about its awards for its corporate social responsibility." . . . LastResistance - Read More
4.) Obama's DHS Launches “Family Reunification,” Refugee Program For Central Americans Providing Free One-Way Flights Into The U.S.
"To facilitate the often treacherous process of entering the United States illegally through the southern border, the Obama administration is offering free transportation from three Central American countries and a special refugee/parole program with 'resettlement assistance' and permanent residency.
Under the new initiative the administration has rebranded the official name it originally assigned to the droves of illegal immigrant minors who continue sneaking into the U.S. They’re no longer known as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC), a term that evidently was offensive and not politically correct enough for the powerful open borders movement. The new arrivals will be officially known as Central American Minors (CAM) and they will be eligible for a special refugee/parole that offers a free one-way flight to the U.S. from El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras. The project is a joint venture between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the State Department.
Specifically, the 'program provides certain children in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras with a safe, legal, and orderly alternative to the dangerous journey that some children are undertaking to the United States,' according to a DHS memo obtained by JW this week. The document goes on to say that the CAM program has started accepting applications from 'qualifying parents' to bring their offspring under the age of 21 from El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras. The candidates will then be granted a special refugee parole, which includes many taxpayer-funded perks and benefits. Among them is a free education, food stamps, medical care and living expenses." . . . JudicialWatch - Read More

5.) Army Sergeant Introduces Same-Sex Spouse At Pentagon LGBT Pride Event
"A married U.S. Army General introduced his same-sex spouse at the Pentagon’s pride month ceremony on Tuesday, which featured Defense Secretary Ashton Carter as the keynote speaker.
'My husband Lucas is sitting up front here,' Brig. Gen. Randy S. Taylor said of his spouse, who was sitting in the same row as Secretary Carter, Army Secretary John 'Lucas has subjugated his own career to support the general’s frequent moves over an 18-year relationship,' adds the article. 'We bet everything on my Army career,' said Gen. Taylor, who experienced the military prohibiting gays from serving, then 'Don’t ask don’t tell,' and finally the repeal of the ban in 2011 during his 27 years of service." . . . Breibart - Read More

6.) The Obama administration’s Legacy Of Normalizing Homosexual Behavior In The U.S. Armed Forces Reached New Heights By Kicking-Off “Pride Month” With A New Pro-Transgender Policy In The Air Force
"Many in the military ranks are getting accustomed to the administration’s advancement of LGBT ‘rights’ every year, says Family Research Council (FRC) President Tony Perkins.
'After [Wednesday's] announcement, the Air Force is taking its radicalism to new heights — announcing that it was easing the discharge policy on transgenders in advance of the pride event [this week],' Perkins reported. 'Apparently, we're now relaxing U.S. security standards in conjunction with P.C. holidays.' As the first service chief to openly lobby for the gender-confused, Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James insists that the new policy is overdo and that the Air Force should be open to just about everyone who wants to serve — regardless of their impact on the effectiveness of fellow soldiers. 'Times change,' James stated in December. 'From my point of view, anyone who is capable of accomplishing the job should be able to serve.'
The Air Force now soars above — or as Perkins puts it, stoops below — the Army, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard by enforcing the most LGBT-friendly policies. 'Going where no branch has gone before, the Air Force will let high-ranking officials decide the fate of known transgenders in their ranks,' Perkins pointed out.
According to Air Force leaders, 'a change to the decision authority for involuntary separations for enlisted Airmen diagnosed with gender dysphoria or who identify themselves as transgender' took place last week with the intention of accommodating a larger number of LGBT individuals into the branch." . . .

7.) London Nursery Worker Fired For Christian Views Wins Anti-Discrimination Tribunal
"A nursery worker from West London has won an anti-discrimination suit against her former employer after having been fired for expressing her beliefs on homosexuality to a fellow lesbian co-worker.
While working at Newpark Childcare in Shepherd’s Bush, Sarah Mbuyi, 31, had been asked by one of her lesbian colleagues about her faith in Christ, which then turned into a discussion about God's views towards homosexuality. Mbuyi responded politely to her colleagues questions and imposed none of her views without being asked. 'God doesn't hate you, he just doesn't like what you do,' said Mbuyi.
That statement, no matter how charitably she expressed, was enough to get her sacked, citing harassment, which Mbuyi flatly denied since she only expressed her views after being asked." . . . TruthRevolt - Read More

8.) Obama Sends LGBT Rights Envoy On International Tour, Ignores Persecuted Christians
"U.S Special Envoy for LGBTI rights has embarked on a five-week tour to 15 countries to promote homosexual rights. Meanwhile, the Obama administration, which created the post — the first of its kind in U.S history — has yet to appoint a Special Envoy for persecuted religious minorities, despite having signed that post into law last August.
Having past served as consul general in the Netherlands, Special Envoy Randy Berry's trip will focus on persuading countries, usually poor, who look on homosexuality with a less than favorable eye to include 'protections for homosexuals in their constitutions.' At the announcement of Berry's appointment back in February of this year, Secretary of State John Kerry outlined the Special Envoy's agenda as a defender and promoter of 'human rights of LGBT persons,' which stands 'at the core of our commitment to advancing human rights globally — the heart and conscience of our diplomacy." . . .

9.) How The Obama Administration Sees The American People: 'Pockets of Resistance' To Refugee Resettlement Have Developed; ORR [Federal Office Of Refugee Resettlement]
Hires ‘Welcoming America’ To Head Off More!
"This is the second part of my report from the Pennsylvania Refugee Conference which I attended earlier this week in Lancaster, PA. If you haven’t read my earlier report it might be useful to check it out and then come back here for part II.
One of the many things that I found revealing about the conference was that problems with the program to resettle over 100,000 “refugees and asylees” to your towns and cities each year was not discussed (your classic hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil!). There was no direct discussion about problems with assimilation, tensions in communities, crime problems, cost to local communities, school conflicts, housing shortages for refugees etc. except for one session dedicated to how to silence people who might like to complain—the keynote speaker talked about how ‘Welcoming America’ was working to get YOUR minds right about your new refugee neighbors (and, they received a federal grant from ORR to do it!).
Before Susan Downs-Karkos from ‘Welcoming America’ spoke, we had been alerted by the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s Director of Placement, Mitiku Ashebir that (gasp!) “three pockets of resistance against new arrivals” had developed. He assured the gathering it was not widespread and that Pennsylvania, thankfully, was not one of them. Drum roll please! Here are the pockets of resistance and Mr. Ashebir’s brief description of the unwelcoming problems:" . . . RefugeereSettlementWatch - Read More

10.) Directive 11: Obama’s Secret Islamist Plan
"Behind the rise of ISIS, the Libyan Civil War, the unrest in Egypt, Yemen and across the region may be a single classified document. That document is Presidential Study Directive 11.
You can download Presidential Study Directive 10 on 'Preventing Mass Atrocities' from the White House website, but as of yet no one has been able to properly pry number 11 out of Obama Inc. Presidential Study Directive 10, in which Obama asked for non-military options for stopping genocide, proved to be a miserable failure. The Atrocities Prevention Board’s only use was as a fig leaf for a policy that had caused the atrocities. And the cause of those atrocities is buried inside Directive 11.
With Obama’s typical use of technicalities to avoid transparency, Directive 11 was used to guide policy in the Middle East without being officially submitted. It is possible that it will never be submitted. And yet the Directive 11 group was described as 'just finishing its work' when the Arab Spring began. That is certainly one way of looking at it.
Directive 11 brought together activists and operatives at multiple agencies to come up with a 'tailored' approach for regime change in each country. The goal was to 'manage' the political transitions. It tossed aside American national security interests by insisting that Islamist regimes would be equally committed to fighting terrorism and cooperating with Israel. Its greatest gymnastic feat may have been arguing that the best way to achieve political stability in the region was through regime change." . . . FrontPageMagazine - Read More

11.) Smoking-Gun Document Said To Prove Obama-Muslim Brotherhood Ties
"The White House isn’t commenting on the exposure of a secret presidential directive, but critics tell WND it confirms what they feared: The Obama administration has an official policy of backing so-called 'moderate Islamists,' including the jihadist group the Muslim Brotherhood. A source familiar with the document told the Washington Times the 'policy of backing the Muslim Brotherhood is outlined in a secret directive called Presidential Study Directive-11, or PSD-11.'
The governments of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates officially consider the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, but the presidential directive reportedly shows the White House considers the group a 'moderate' alternative to ISIS and al-Qaida. Critics blasted that notion.
Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, who has written extensively on the subject, told WND the Muslim Brotherhood 'is not moderate' and 'there is no such thing as a moderate Islamist.' The identical response was given to WND by Iran specialist Clare Lopez of the Center for Security Policy.
'The Muslim Brotherhood is a jihadist organization, from the day of its founding and remains so to this day,' she said. Whether violent or not, she said, all jihadists, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, seek the same two things: 'Islamic governance and enforcement of Islamic law, or Sharia.' . . .

12.) Antarctic Sea Ice Sets New High In May
"Sea ice extent in Antarctica last month set a new record high for the month of May, according to data from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC.) Meanwhile Arctic sea ice extent in May was the third lowest on record but essentially the same as it was a decade ago – marginally above the levels recorded in 2004 and 2006.
NSIDC data shows average sea ice extent around Antarctica reached 12.10 million sq. km. in May – some 12 per cent above the long term average for the period from 1981 to 2010 of 10.79 million sq.km. May sea ice extent in Antarctica is growing at a rate of 2.9 per cent per decade, according to NSIDC data.
Meanwhile Arctic sea ice extent in May was 12.65 million sq. km, some 5 per cent below the long-term average for the period from 1981 to 2010 of 13.38 million sq. km. but broadly in line with the sea ice extent reported a decade ago and just 2 per cent below the average over the period from 2005 to 2015." . . .

13.) The More Things Change The More They Remain The Same: Pakistan Police Say Eight Men In Malala Attack Were Acquitted
"The Pakistani police and the country's public prosecutor said Friday that eight out of 10 militants charged with involvement in the 2012 attack on teenage activist and later Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai were actually acquitted in April — and not sentenced to life in prison as reported at the time.
The stunning announcement, which first came from Pakistan's deputy police chief, Azad Khan, offered no explanation as to why authorities had remained silent for so many weeks or why they had failed to correct the facts earlier." . . . AOL - Read More
