Michigan superintendents: Skip standardized test this year amid coronavirus | Bridge Magazine
"Michigan students, homebound for months because of the worst pandemic in a century and facing a return to school with social distancing and possibly face masks, shouldn’t have to take standardized tests.

"Might as well get ready for the annual July 4th fireworks...no, not the ones in the sky, the usual flood of articles about how bad America is and why celebrating our freedom is some "ist" kind of bad.
I noticed some have posted the article how Mount Rushmore is really a celebration of white supremacy but the Salt Lake Tribune got a head start on Sunday with a gem headlined: "Being born someplace isn’t an accomplishment". It featured this wisdom:
"Beyond that, I’m not sure what “proud to be an American” even means. I don’t much care for its undeniable “We’re better than everyone else” ring. Try as I may, I am hard-pressed to see what makes American-ness intrinsically better than, say, Liechtensteiner-ness, Canadian-ness, or Basotho-ness. A human is a human, neither inferior nor superior, point of origin notwithstanding."
Like how one can count on falling leaves in Autumn, one can count on articles like this any time there is an opportunity to celebrate our nation."

We need to move,” he shouted over the police radio. Protesters were breaking into the back of the station, and officers were preparing to take an unprecedented step in American policing: to abandon their precinct building. “The front has been breached,” an officer called over the radio just before they fled.
“They’re coming in. They’re coming in the back.”In a dramatic exit, a squad car rammed through a gate near the station in south Minneapolis, leading a motorcade racing from the parking lot.
Patrol officers in riot gear left on foot, hurrying past a jeering crowd hurling rocks and fireworks.
A student group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is calling for the school to remove its popular Abraham Lincoln statue, saying the president who is known as the "Great Emancipator" is a symbol of racism.

"The war on history has spread across our country and has even spilled over to other parts of the Western world. Now, on a daily basis, we see scenes of lawless mobs attacking and tearing down statues, and defacing monuments of every type—often as authorities stand idly by.
