This CROWN act is about to become undone. If the kid's locks are tied and twisted, what the heck does it matter?
Texas school legally punished Black student over hairstyle, judge says
https://apnews.com/article/hair-discrimination-school-locs-texas-trial-4a1c3ec2ff85da27ffb2118f9fc55007ANAHUAC, Texas (AP) — A Black high school student’s monthslong punishment by his Texas school district for refusing to change his hairstyle does not violate a new state law that prohibits race-based hair discrimination, a judge ruled on Thursday.
Darryl George, 18, has not been in his regular Houston-area high school classes since Aug. 31 because the district, Barbers Hill, says the length of his hair violates its dress code.
The district filed a lawsuit arguing George’s long hair, which he wears in tied and twisted locs on top of his head, violates its policy because it would fall below his shirt collar, eyebrows or earlobes when let down. The district has said other students with locs comply with the length policy.

Summary: Edward Blum, the mastermind behind the latest SCOTUS affirmative action decision through his non profit American Alliance for Equal Rights, is suing the Fearless Fund, a venture capital firm to help Black females financially with establishing small businesses. The claim that about 60 White and Asian females were disqualified from participating in the program because of their race.
This is troubling. Blacks generally get little to no venture capital support in mainstream America. So at the point where they try to help their own, this fool comes along.
Edward Blum is at it again: Black Females now targeted

The latest in misogynoir: Keith Olberman
Frankly, I would have thought KO would know better, do better. But his first tweet volley directed at LSU bball player Angel Reese after the NCAA women’s basketball championship game was disrespectful and disgusting. The Twitterverse leveraged no mercy to KO, and he tried to backtrack his words.

I was not a Monson fan of his talk show, he talked trash and a MAGA type. He dissed anything Democrat. He was somewhat tolerable talking sports.
Sad he left too soon, needed to rebut his trash talking!

I can't help but wonder-- was Putin goaded by TFG?
to invade Ukraine? It sounds like something TFG would do as a Putin admirer. And recalling his disdain for Ukraine while in office.
