Image result for Freedom of Speech Meme"Free speech can be threatened in practice by a culture of mob rule — attempts to destroy someone’s life thanks to their viewpoint rather than their behavior. But sometimes speech is inherently related to the job or product at issue. Corporations have every right to protect their bottom line under such circumstances, and the public has every right to shy away from such products and services."

Commission urges Washington and Lee University: Don’t change the school’s name - The College Fix

Commission urges Washington and Lee University: Don’t change the school’s name - The College Fix:
"Panel says school should focus on others ways to ‘teach and present the university’s history’
Image result for wiping historyA panel appointed by Washington and Lee University to study its history and the impact it has on the institution has recommended that the university retain its name, despite some controversy in the university’s being partly named after the Confederate war general Robert E. Lee.
“The recommendation to retain the name is not passive,” said the commission. 
...“As the ninth-oldest institution of higher education in the country, Washington and Lee is a justifiably proud university that can withstand careful scrutiny,” said Dudley. 
...Other recommendations made by the committee include retaining the name of the teams as “The Generals” despite the claim that some believe it is directly referring to Washington and Lee, converting Lee Chapel into a museum and not having it be used for key events and displaying portraits of Lee in civilian attire rather than his Confederate uniform..."

Starbucks Training: Employees Forced to Watch ‘Video After Video’ Of White Cops Attacking Blacks

Starbucks Training: Employees Forced to Watch ‘Video After Video’ Of White Cops Attacking Blacks:
"“At one point a girl at my table actually had to get up and leave because video after video they showed black people being assaulted by police or black people being verbally assaulted and white people being racially biased toward people of color,” a young black female Starbucks employee told Philly Mag after being forced to take part in their “racial sensitivity” training course this week.
From Philly Mag:
Starbucks billed Tuesday’s training as “one step” in addressing racial bias, and national reports have called the company’s move an “important start.”
But for two Philadelphia Starbucks employees I talked to, the training merely “targeted” people of color and exacerbated racial tensions..."

More Evidence of Political Coverup in Dem IT Security Scandal - Judicial Watch

More Evidence of Political Coverup in Dem IT Security Scandal - Judicial Watch:

Image result for flickr commons images Debbie Wasserman Schultz"The government’s bizarre failure to prosecute Awan for the national security violations he appears to have committed points to a political coverup that’s dangerous, craven and borders on traitorous. A House Office of Inspector General investigation determined earlier this year that Awan and his relatives committed numerous violations of House security policies, including logging into the House Democratic Caucus server thousands of times without authorization. The same news agency that reported that story published alarming new revelations in the case this month, concluding that “Democrats appear to want to keep the case out of court” because “a trial could expose their reckless IT practices.” It turns out that, not only has Capitol Police failed to make any arrests, it inadvertently gave evidence to defense attorneys that was supposed to go to prosecutors. It gets better; prosecutors appear to be sharing information with someone on Capitol Hill who in turn is leaking it to Awan’s lawyer."
