HOWIE CARR ON COVID DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: Coronavirus has the Karens and Biden voters cowering.
QED, someone who bills herself as a “Syndicated op-ed columnist @washingtonpost, commentator @cnn, special correspondent @newshour” admitting that she’s incapable of doing her job as a fact and opinion gathering journalist:Covid Derangement Syndrome — it’s real, and there was a massive outbreak of it this week.

Woke Educators Release Letter Declaring Objective Math a Form of ‘White Supremacy’
Woke Educators Release Letter Declaring Objective Math a Form of ‘White Supremacy’
- Here’s how parents can push back on the alarming ideology that’s infecting our children’s classrooms.
"Mandatory teaching standards that focus on critical theory and identity politics to the detriment of liberalism and individualism are already working their way through state legislatures.
Now, math education itself has been deemed “racist.”
A group of educators just released a document calling for a transformation of math education that focuses on “dismantling white supremacy in math classrooms by visibilizing the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture with respect to math.”
Among the educators’ recommendations, which officials in some states are promoting, are calls to “identify and challenge the ways that math is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views,”...
Beyond activism, these recommendations also argue that traditional approaches to math education promote racism and white supremacy, such as requiring students to show their work or prioritizing correct answers to math problems...Read all.

Opinion: Looting the Boy Scouts - WSJ
Opinion: Looting the Boy Scouts - WSJ
The Boy Scouts filed for bankruptcy a year ago amid what it acknowledges are legitimate claims of sexual abuse by some scout leaders.
"The plaintiff bar long ago turned mass torts into a business model, but never underestimate legal creativity.
The attempted looting of the Boy Scouts of America is highlighting the need for tort reform in a modern era of social media and lawsuit marketing.
BSA and its insurers have been working in good faith to settle those claims.
Which is why insurers owned by Chubb Ltd. and Hartford Financial Services are asking U.S. bankruptcy Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein to allow discovery into the methods of plaintiff lawyers who produced a 55-fold increase in new claims in less than a year.

- third-party brokers to collect and
- commoditize claims, and
- sweeping online marketing that recruits and coaches claimants.
This is the new mass tort industry...Read all.
