Kansas agrees to halt in-state tuition law for illegal immigrants in DOJ settlement
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Campus Reform
The Justice Department says Kansas violated federal law by giving illegal immigrants tuition and scholarship benefits unavailable to some U.S. citizens. The DOJ announced June 24 that it filed a lawsuit against Kansas in federal court and simultaneously submitted a proposed consent decree with the state that would permanently prevent enforcement of the challenged laws. If approved by the court, the agreement would resolve the federal government’s claims that Kansas unlawfully discriminated against U.S. citizens by offering reduced tuition rates and scholarship opportunities to illegal immigrants.

Vehicle-Ramming Threat Now The Norm. All family events must now be protected from a three-and-a-half-tonne truck travelling at 30 mph. A family summer beach event in the UK city of Nottingham now sits behind portable anti-ram steel barrier, the latest admission that open borders have turned public spaces into soft targets. Local authorities across Britain are quietly installing more of what critics now call "diversity barriers" - heavy portable steel devices designed to stop vehicles being driven into crowds.

Gender & Racial Pay Gaps

U.S. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D–TX) claims that “Black women are STILL only making 65 cents on the dollar” and don’t get the “same pay” for the “same work” as other people. IN FACT, Americans of all genders and races have been receiving equal pay for equal work for decades, and pay gaps blamed on sexism and racism are actually due to factors like education, productivity, work hours, and fringe benefits. Here are the specifics...

Police call off annual parade hours after it began as several people are struck by vehicle in Tiergarten park. A van has ploughed into a crowd at Berlin’s annual LGBTQ+ pride parade, killing at least one person and injuring about 15, police said, leading them to call off the event hours after it had begun to protect participants. Police said those hurt “included several with life-threatening injuries”. They called on everyone to leave the event, one of Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ celebrations, immediately, in a post on X. The driver of a white van had swerved shortly before 10pm into the Tiergarten park, close to the route of the pride march earlier Saturday, and struck several people on a walking path, police said. Sirens rang out across the city as authorities said they were looking for the alleged assailant or assailants.

After backlash, NY school district pauses plan to add humanoid robot to classroom

After the district first publicized the plan, it drew strong reactions from parents, teachers, and other observers online. Some praised the district for embracing innovation and giving students access to cutting-edge technology. Others — including the state teachers union — raised concerns about student privacy, increasing screen time, and Realbotix’s ties to the adult entertainment industry. Education is an entirely new venture for Realbotix, a Toronto-based company formerly known as Tokens.com. In April 2024, it acquired Simulcra, the Las Vegas parent company behind RealDoll, which creates hyperrealistic sex dolls.

Bill Gates Ignored Repeated Warnings And Met Epstein Thirty Times

An independent review has confirmed what many long suspected: Bill Gates and senior figures at his foundation met with Jeffrey Epstein roughly 30 times between 2011 and 2014, brushing aside repeated internal warnings about the reputational and ethical risks of associating with a man already convicted of sex crimes involving a minor.The findings, released by the Gates Foundation after a months-long external examination by the law firm WilmerHale, show that foundation staff "raised on multiple occasions the risks of associating with Epstein because of his prior conviction," and that those concerns reached senior leadership, including Gates himself.

Northeastern Illinois University’s enrollment in its gender studies degree program has remained below 10 students for five years running, the school’s data shows. The university maintains a page tracking five-year enrollment trends every spring. The data reveals that gender studies is not a popular major at the school. In spring 2021, only two students were enrolled in the Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies Bachelor of Arts. That number rose to six students in spring 2022 before declining to five students in 2023 and four students in both 2024 and 2025.

"I want to thank Sophie Cunningham for speaking out and make it clear that I could not agree more," Graham said.

'Summer of sex' UK MP wants sex education on NHS to show 'real people doing it'

[Ed: sounds like the very definition of government overreach.] "Summer of sex" MP Samantha Niblett says she wants sex education to be available on the NHS and feature "real people having real sex". The Labour politician created a buzz earlier this year when she said she wanted to bring sex toys into the House of Commons. But she hopes it can spark a national conversation and lead to better understanding of healthy sex and relationships, rather than to turn to adult websites.

College courses raise concerns woke ideology will continue in Big Sports
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Just the News
DEI practices, Title IX violations in the sports industry can be traced to woke values injected in college curriculum. College courses and degree-seeking programs – which include such classes as "Diversity and Inclusion in Sports" – are raising concerns about whether higher education will produce a next generation of trained professionals like broadcast journalists and athletic directors who will continue to advocate for such issues as transgender athletes in girls' sport. Among the schools with such programs are San Jose State University. The California school's Department of Kinesiology's Sports Studies program says it approaches sport "from a critical perspective that addresses issues of social identity, power, and agency,” and “trains students to “identify and analyze ways that sport and exercise can produce, reproduce, or contest social inequities to potentially affect positive social change.”

The Teachers Unions Are One Of The Most Damaging Institutions In America

“No other institution in America has caused as much damage as the teachers unions over the last 50 years,” Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway said on Outnumbered. “Part of it is that they are so politically biased. They’re one of the biggest arms of the Democratic Party. They run many of their get-out-the-vote campaigns and are just a major funder of the Democratic Party.” VIDEO

NYT Opinion: 'Land Acknowledgements Are Infuriating'
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Hot Air
Yes, yes they are. But in this case the author is a Native American woman coming from a slightly different perspective. She recounts a land acknowledgement given at a church in upstate New York....In my view, land acknowledgements are a useless waste of time unless the people making them are seriously thinking about giving the land back. And does that ever happen? Not for the most part. The author of this piece sort of agrees, though her view is that Native Americans didn't "own" the land in the first place.

"Why I'm Writing This Anonymously And What That Says About Free Speech In Britain"
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Daily Sceptic
...something in this country’s relationship with free expression isn’t working I consider myself an ordinary person. Thirty-plus years ago I would have considered myself slightly Left-leaning. I liked to think of myself as one of the good guys. But somewhere in the last three decades the Overton window slid sideways, and views I’ve quietly held throughout – that mass immigration, legal and illegal, hasn’t obviously benefited the culture I grew up in, that free speech should mean everyone’s speech, including the people I disagree with – are now filed under ‘Right-wing’. I don’t think I’m unusual. Look at the Brexit vote, which for many people was as much about sovereignty and control over immigration as it was about Brussels. Look at any poll on migration levels. There is a large, ordinary, non-extreme constituency that holds views broadly like mine. And a good number of them, I suspect, keep quiet for the same reason I’m staying anonymous here: weighing up whether speaking out is worth the risk. Silence can easily be mistaken for consensus, and I suspect that’s exactly what’s happening here.

The South Carolina Supreme Court Again Rules Against Tattoo Speech. There is an interesting free-speech case filed in South Carolina brought by a tattoo parlor challenging a state law that not only bars tattoo facilities from 1000 feet of churches, schools, or playgrounds, but also bans tattoos on the face, neck, or head. The case presents a common challenge for free speech advocates like myself. I have a visceral dislike for tattoos (particularly on the face), but I believe that they are a form of free expression. I, therefore, view the South Carolina law, S.C. Code Ann. § 44-34- 100, as unconstitutional under the First Amendment. (The litigants include claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the 14th Amendment).

GenderSpeak: Weaponizing Gender Against Sex
Topic: Political Correctness

When and why did the word “gender” displace the word “sex?” “Gender” refers to a person’s socially constructed identity of being male, female, or some other category, while “sex” refers to physical characteristics of male or female, such as chromosomes. Gender is a matter of a person’s self-perception; sex is a circumstance of birth. When did sex get pushed to the curb by gender? In his book The Man Who Invented Gender, Terry Goldie claims that the sexologist John Money of Johns Hopkins Medical Center (Baltimore) first used the word “gender” in its modern meaning in 1955
