Nike Stock Down After Announcement Of Kaepernick Campaign | The Daily Caller:

Nike stock was down 2.75 percent Tuesday morning after the company announced former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick as the new face of its “Just Do It” campaign.
The slogan for the campaign is, “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.”
The promotion of the former athlete, who protested racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem, has led to major backlash against the sports company. A boycott was started and people began posting videos of themselves burning their Nike gear.

Democrats' visions of hand signals from white supremacists

Democrats' visions of hand signals from white supremacists:
"They seem not to have wondered why a white supremacist would find it necessary or useful to communicate such beliefs by an obscure hand gesture that isn't really a white supremacist hand gesture, when so many other forms of communication are readily available and more easily concealed from alert eyes like their own.
They seem to find it inconceivable that everyone doesn’t know that the hand gesture recognized universally and for many years in this country as signifying "OK" now signifies support of white supremacy.

In other words, they have taken leave of their senses.
...The United States, in their view, continues to be an irredeemably racist country.
That's the message of bestselling writer Ta-Nehisi Coates. “America’s progress on race has been minimal,” as Columbia’s John McWhorter summarizes this view, “just pretty window dressing here and there,” with “no reason to hope things will get even better.”
...focusing on hidden hand signals and phantom masses of white supremacists is just plain nuts. Democrats need to keep the signals from getting out of hand."

Facebook at Senate Intelligence Hearing: Inauthentic Behavior Means Behavior that Is Inauthentic | Breitbart:

Unfortunately, the early answers to these questions were about as informative as being told that your dog won’t hunt because the dog doesn’t hunt.
If social media is a mirror on society, then perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that the answers to questions about social media simply mirror the questions.

How Colleges Are Ripping Off a Generation of Ill-Prepared Students | Intellectual Takeout

"Earlier this month, the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress, aka the nation’s “report card,” was released. It’s not a pretty story.
Only 37 percent of 12th-graders tested proficient or better in reading, and only 25 percent did so in math.
Among black students, only 17 percent tested proficient or better in reading, and just 7 percent reached at least a proficient level in math.
The atrocious National Assessment of Educational Progress performance is only a fraction of the bad news.
Nationally, our high school graduation rate is over 80 percent.
That means high school diplomas, which attest that these students can read and compute at a 12th-grade level, are conferred when 63 percent are not proficient in reading and 75 percent are not proficient in math.
For blacks, the news is worse..."

Pro-Islam Indoctrination in Public Schools? | Clarion Project

"Parents across the U.S. have objected to a Department of Education program called “Access Islam.” The federally-funded program is directed at children from grades 5-12 and is also featured on various websites, including PBS Learning Media.
The Smithsonian also promotes the course as does the Indiana Department of Education and the United Nations.
Parents charge that the course amounts to nothing less than proselytizing about Islam in public schools.
In addition, they note that the Department of Education provides no comparable study or promotion of any other religion.

A video from the course prominently features a Christian convert to Islam, who declares emotionally how he has found the true religion without any “intermediaries.”
In addition to videos, students are given worksheets to learn the Five Pillars of Islam and how to pray. Children are also expected to memorize verses from the Quran and know the meaning of those verses..."
