Feds Order Colleges to Stop Checking Criminal/School Discipline History Because it Discriminates Against Minorities

Feds Order Colleges to Stop Checking Criminal/School Discipline History Because it Discriminates Against Minorities - Judicial Watch:
"The Obama administration has ordered the nation’s colleges and universities to stop asking applicants about criminal and school disciplinary history because it discriminates against minorities. Institutions are also being asked to offer those with criminal records special support services such as counseling, mentoring and legal aid once enrolled.
The government’s official term for these perspective students is “justice-involved individuals” and the new directive aims to remove barriers to higher education for the overwhelmingly minority population that’s had encounters with the law or disciplinary issues through high school..."

Absolute MUST read to your graduates (and their parent/s)-----The Neal Boortz Commencement Speech

boortz.com: More Boortz The Neal Boortz Commencement Speech:
"No, this speech has never been delivered at a college or a university.
It was written to protest the fact that such an invitation has never been offered! 
It has only been delivered on my radio show, printed in my book "The Terrible Truth About Liberals" and produced on a limited edition CD.
The irony is that this commencement speech has been more widely distributed, and has been the subject of more comment than any commencement speech that actually has been delivered at any college or university in the past 50 years. ©Copyright 2001, 2002, 2003 by Neal Boortz.

"I am honored by the invitation to address you on this august occasion.
It's about time.
Be warned, however, that I am not here to impress you; you'll have enough smoke blown your way today.
And you can bet your tassels I'm not here to impress the faculty and administration.
You may not like much of what I have to say, and that's fine. 
You will remember it though.
Especially after about 10 years out there in the real world.
This, it goes without saying, does not apply to those of you who will seek your careers and your fortunes as government employees.
This gowned gaggle behind me is your faculty.
You've heard the old saying that those who can - do.
Those who can't - teach.
That sounds deliciously insensitive.
But there is often raw truth in insensitivity, just as you often find feel-good falsehoods and lies in compassion.
Note from JAMBORK-This is long so I cut much out. All is fabulous and valuable. Please read the entire Speech and pass on.
...Don't bow to the temptation to use the government as an instrument of plunder.
If it is wrong for you to take money from someone else who earned it -- to take their money by force for your own needs -- then it is certainly just as wrong for you to demand that the government step forward and do this dirty work for you.
Don't look in other people's pockets. 
You have no business there.
What they earn is theirs.
What your earn is yours.
Keep it that way.
Nobody owes you anything, except to respect your privacy and your rights, and leave you the hell alone.
Speaking of earning, the revered 40-hour workweek is for losers. 
Forty hours should be considered the minimum, not the maximum.
You don't see highly successful people clocking out of the office every afternoon at five.
The losers are the ones caught up in that afternoon rush hour.
The winners drive home in the dark.
Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech.
Popular speech, by definition, needs no protection.
...Now, if you have any idea at all what's good for you, you will get the hell out of here and never come back.
Class dismissed."

Michelle Obama’s Nutrition Facts Label Not Based on Science

Michelle Obama’s Nutrition Facts Label Not Based on Science:
"A controversial regulation to update the nutrition facts label that is part of the first lady’s Let’s Move push was finalized by the Food and Drug Administration on Friday, and scientists are warning the new label is not based on sound science.
The changes to the nutrition facts label, which first lady Michelle Obama will announce Friday when she speaks at the Let’s Move-aligned Partnership for a Healthier America, requires food manufacturers to list added sugars, which scientists say lacks “scientific rigor.”
The label will also cost companies at least $640 million to update, and a net social cost of $1.4 billion.
...In her remarks, Mrs. Obama called the added sugar change to the label the “most important of all.”
...The scientists said the new label is “misleading,” and note that it was based on the 2015 Dietary Guidelines, whose committee did not include a single expert on sugars.
“We are concerned that U.S. public health policy in this area may be progressing down a path that history suggests to be counterproductive,” the scientists wrote.
“Specifically, the FDA’s proposed rule revising the Nutrition Facts Label with regard to an added sugars declaration and the establishment of a dietary reference value (DRV) of 10 percent lacks both the scientific rigor based on careful consideration or evidence-based reviews and a thorough appraisal of unintended consequences that will surely arise...”

The war against white young men!-----UW-Madison suspends frat for alleged toleration of racial slurs

UW-Madison suspends frat for alleged toleration of racial slurs:
"The University of Wisconsin-Madison has suspended its Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) fraternity for allegedly responding inadequately to complaints about a “discriminatory environment” at the chapter.
UW issued a press release Tuesday announcing the suspension, saying SAE would be reinstated on November 1, provided that each of its members completes training in diversity, inclusion, and mental health.
...Blank then mentions the diversity and inclusion training SAE members will be required to take, saying she expects the national fraternity to undertake parallel efforts to reeducate the members of its Wisconsin chapter, as well.
...No details regarding the complaint or suspension were ever released, but according to a timeline of events on UW’s website, the circumstances leading to SAE’s current suspension also began with a Halloween party.
At that party, which took place in 2014, a member of the fraternity alleges that another member “addressed him with a racial slur and choked him for about five seconds until other members intervened.”
Leaders of the chapter maintain that they were not informed of any racial component to the fight at the time, but did impose sanctions on the aggressor.
According to The Badger Herald, the CSO report concluded that SAE had acted to its “fullest capability” based on the information available to them, but despite largely exonerating the fraternity on that count, the Committee expressed dissatisfaction with its handling of the overall environment in light of subsequent reports of intolerant behavior.
The next incident on the timeline took place in March of 2015, when an SAE member “ran down State Street yelling a racial slur.”
The university acknowledges that the fraternity expelled that member and suspended another who was “involved” in the incident, but notes that the expelled member “continued to be present at times at the chapter house.”
Three additional complaints were filed at irregular intervals over the course of this school year, all by the same student who claims to have been victimized at the 2014 Halloween party.
Sometime in fall 2015, the complainant asserts that he raised objections about “racial, anti-gay, and anti-Semitic slurs” he had overheard at the house, but was rebuffed by fellow members.
Then, on December 22, he claims to have “heard another member yelling a racial slur outside the house,” though the fraternity says it was unable to identify the member in question.
A few months later, on February 26, the student filed another complaint, saying “he heard another member repeatedly singing a lyric containing a racial slur.”
The other member denied the accusation, and no disciplinary action was taken.
The following week, the complainant brought his charges to the university, prompting the Division of Student Life to launch a one-month investigation that served as the basis for the CSO’s eventual determination against SAE..."

Professor Run Out of Classroom for Offending Students Will Lose Job

Professor Run Out of Classroom for Offending Students Will Lose Job - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"...Andrea has been denied continuation of her tenure," her husband, Scott Quenette, told Reason. Despite having a recommendation from the tenure committee and her department.
...her employment at KU will be at an end."
But the reason for that seems clear.
Last fall, members of Quenette's class asked to discuss the racial tensions on campus.
Quenette made the mistake of confessing her own blind spots, and used imperfect language when she did so. 
She said, "It's not like I see nigger spray-painted on walls," according to her students. 
She also denied that racism was the sole explanation for some black KU students falling behind in their studies.
Quenette's statements weren't malicious, and she didn't use the n-word as a slur.
Moreover, she's a professor of communications, and the classroom was an appropriate place to have a conversation about these issues—even if the conversation bothered some people.
But her students didn't see it that way, and published a letter calling on KU to fire her.
A lengthy investigation ensued: months later, the university determined that Quenette had broken no policies.
Even so, her career at KU will soon be at an end..."

Tolerance! Over 50 Muslim Countries Blocking LGBT Groups from UN AIDS Convention

Tolerance! Over 50 Muslim Countries Blocking LGBT Groups from UN AIDS Convention... » Louder With Crowder:
"Wherever gays go, AIDS follows.
They make up more than half of the HIV infected population in the US.
So it’s kind of a huge problem for dude loving dudes.
The UN plans to host an “End AIDS” meeting, where loads of LGBT groups are expected to show up.
As they should, since the increase in AIDS is primarily their fault (see Dear AIDS Day Activists: Facts or Political Correctness? Pick One).
That’s not hate speech, that’s science.
But one group is preventing multiple LGBT groups from going to said meeting. 
You want to venture a guess as to who?
A group of 51 Muslim states has blocked 11 gay and transgender organizations from attending a high-level meeting at the United Nations next month on ending AIDS…
Egypt wrote to the president of the 193-member General Assembly on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to object to the participation of the 11 groups.
It didn’t give a reason in the letter.
...Oddly enough, Muslims are the only “minority” leftists love as much as LGBT.
Even though they want to crush the gays."

Funny!-----Woman in Chewbacca mask sets the record for most-viewed Facebook Live post ever

Woman in Chewbacca mask sets the record for most-viewed Facebook Live post ever - Trending - CBC News:
Candace Payne is not a celebrity.

She doesn't know Michael Bublé, hasn't served as president, and, to the best of our knowledge, she's never wrapped elastic bands around a watermelon until it explodes.

Nor has she shared live footage of someone giving birth without their knowledge.

Payne is a mom from Dallas, Texas, who really appreciates "the simple joys in life" — like Star Wars merch and making videos in her car.

And yet, with zero resources outside of her phone, a personal Facebook profile, and one very fun Chewbacca mask, she managed to master something this week that brands and publishers across the globe have been sinking their all into for months. 

Payne has crushed the record for the most-viewed Facebook Live post in history.

The roughly four-minute-long video, titled "It's the simple joys in life..." currently boasts a view count of just over 114 million views as of Saturday afternoon.
Buzzfeed's famous "watermelon elastic" stream held the title previously with about 10 million views, according to Tech Insider, despite the attempts of many publishers to build up bigger numbers since Facebook Live rolled out to non-celebrities in April.
So how did a 37-year-old mother of two become the most successful user of Facebook's live-streaming service in history?
It's hard to know, exactly, but Payne's infectious laugh, positive attitude, and surprisingly life-like Chewbacca mask are certainly making a lot of people happy right now.

‘Genderqueer’ teacher wins $60,000 after threatening federal workplace harassment complaint

‘Genderqueer’ teacher wins $60,000 after threatening federal workplace harassment complaint | EAGnews.org:
"GRESHEM, Ore. – Hall Elementary School transgender teacher Leo Soell will receive a $60,000 payout from the Gresham-Barlow School District for emotional distress tied to alleged harassment by co-workers.
The fifth-grade teacher came out as transgender after a mastectomy for breast cancer early last year. Soell does not identify as male or female, and prefers to be addressed with the pronoun “they.”
...According to the news site:
If kids asked whether Soell was a boy or a girl, district leaders told Soell to respond, “We all have private lives, and it would not be appropriate to talk about our private lives during the school day.”
A district spokeswoman last year said administrators were worried about “age appropriateness.”
Soell, 25, explained they rationale behind they complicated gender to the Portland Tribune last August.
“I identify as transgender.
Specifically, I say transmasculine and genderqueer,” Soell said.
“The genderqueer piece comes from not identifying within the gender binary of male and female – so (I fit in) along the spectrum, I between.”

...Regardless, Soell contends they co-workers were not supportive of they lifestyle, and made her life difficult at work by repeatedly referring to her as “lady,” or using female pronouns. 
Some also allegedly occupied a unisex bathroom on campus to prevent Soell from using the facility, they alleges.
...In a deal hammered out with the help of a federal judge, Gresham-Barlow officials agreed to pay Soell $60,000 for attorney fees and emotional distress, to designate all of Hall Elementary’s staff bathrooms as gender-neutral, and to install gender-neutral bathrooms in all of the district’s schools within the next three years, according to the news site..."
