Critical race theory (CRT) is now center stage in the culture war between left and right, emerging in recent months as one of the nation’s most contentious issues. On the surface, it may seem progressives are winning as CRT infects schools across America, but the fight against this racist indoctrination is really a winning issue for conservatives. …The media portrays CRT as a serious academic field confined to law schools. MSNBC guest host Zerlina Maxwell, for example, said last week that CRT “refers to the study of structural racism and it’s not taught until college or graduate school, law school. It’s a law school class, everybody …. So, let’s start by making it completely crystal clear at the top of this interview, that critical race theory is not taught before law school.” …It’s telling how adamant the Left is about CRT only being taught in law school. Evidently, they know how bad it would look for CRT to be taught to younger kids. Which of course is happening across the county. …Parents don’t want their children learning CRT—and are increasingly willing to say so publicly.

May Someone Who Claims To Believe In God Support BLM?
Question 1. May someone who claims to believe in God support BLM? Q2. May a Christian support BLM? The answer is each case is a firm, no!
Why not?
Marxism is in direct opposition to any belief in God; it is definitely Anti-God, Anti-Christ, anti-family, anti-freedom, anti-property rights…; those are the highpoints. You cannot support a communist organization such as BLM, Freedom Road Socialist Organization; the CCP Progressive Association…and at the same time stand for the opposite (unless you do not understand what Marxism is about, and in that case, you only thought that you could do such a thing, out of your own ignorance about Marxism).
‘Nike Is a Brand That Is of China and for China,’ Company’s CEO Says: Epoch Times
“For far too long, companies like Nike and Apple and Amazon and Coca-Cola were using forced labor. They were benefiting from forced labor or sourcing from suppliers that were suspected of using forced labor,” Rubio said on June 10. “These companies, sadly, were making all of us complicit in these crimes.”
Rights groups, researchers, former residents, and some Western lawmakers say that Xinjiang authorities have facilitated forced labor by arbitrarily detaining around one million Uyghurs and other primarily Muslim minorities in a network of camps since 2016. Sophie Richardson, China director for Human Rights Watch, told the Senate panel that Beijing’s “extreme repression and surveillance” made human rights due diligence impossible for companies.
Florida County Citizens Demand Bill of Rights Sanctuary Ordinance: ‘Have the Courage to Do What Is Right’ – Epoch Times
Of the 67 counties in the state of Florida, 42 have already adopted Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions. However, Collier County may be the first to pass an ordinance protecting all freedoms outlined in the Bill of Rights. …“It scares me that the First Amendment is okay for some but not for all,” recent high school graduate Jacob Wagganer told the board, sharing that his grandparents emigrated from Fidel Castro’s Cuba. “That’s my biggest problem, especially for conservatives in the era of cancel culture. It’s really scary what’s going on in this country.”
The Systemic Con Behind Wokeism: Epoch Times Commentary, Victor Davis Hanson
Wokeism was never really about racism, sexism, or other isms. For some, it illustrated a psychological pathology of projection: transferring one’s own prejudices onto others in order to alleviate or mask them. So should we laugh or cry that Black Lives Matter’s self-described Marxist co-founder might be a corporate grifter? According to a New York Post report, Patrisse Khan-Cullors has accumulated several upscale homes, and one of her foundations failed to report significant donations to the IRS. Is it the case that the more Khan-Cullors professes Marxist ideology and damns toxic whiteness, the more she feels comfortable living in a $1.4 million home in Southern California’s ritzy Topanga Canyon area?
Biden, Pelosi Could Be Denied Communion After US Catholic Bishops’ Vote: Epoch Times
Catholic bishops based in the United States voted to approve the drafting of a “teaching document” that may rebuke President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and others for their support of abortion.
More than 73 percent of bishops—or 168 to 55 with six abstentions—this week cast their ballots during a U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) conference to report on the meaning of the Eucharist in the church. The move could potentially set up the denial of communion to Biden, Pelosi, and other elected officials who are Catholic. …Bishop Donald Hying of Madison, Wisconsin, said on Thursday that many Catholics are confused about a president who attends Mass regularly but supports “the most radical pro-abortion agenda in history.”
Critical Race Theory Feud on Full Display at School Board Meeting: Epoch Times
…He said that he had attended the equity training three times: March 2020, fall 2020, and spring 2021. He and other teachers were told early in the activity that “cultural competence was eventually going to be part of our evaluation process.” “To me, that meant ‘accept it. Or this could affect how we grade you and your job performance.’ It seems like it will lead to firing if they need to.” …“What we’re doing is we’re shining the light on what this board is doing. This board has had a secret enemies list. And the enemies list is designed to intimidate and to punish people who stand up against critical race theory and who stand up against this transgender madness that’s going on,” Black told The Epoch Times. “So anyway, I gave my speech. And when I gave the speech, everybody just went crazy. And the board retreated.”

Texas Governor Announces Special Legislative Session on Voting and Critical Race Theory Bills: Epoch Times
The voting measure would grant more power to poll watchers by giving them more access inside polling areas, while creating new penalties against election officials who restrict poll watchers’ movements. The proposal would also allow a judge to void the outcome of an election if the number of fraudulent votes could change the result. …Abbott’s other priority legislation deals with how bail is handled, according to his recent comments to news outlets. The proposed measure, which was also killed by House Democrats last month, would make it more difficult for people who are arrested to bond out of jail without providing cash. [In cast you are unaware of the bail-reform bill in NYC and elsewhere, a criminal is released without bail after being arrested, one man in NYC robbed 4 banks in one day because he wasn’t held after the first crime. This necessarily creates chaos in communities where it is used. It seems to be just another way in which the left is destroying America so it can be rebuilt as a socialist nation]
New York City Prosecutors Drop Hundreds of Cases Against Rioters: Report: Epoch Times
Rioters started fires, brazenly looted from a variety of stores, and assaulted law enforcement officers. But prosecutors have largely failed to secure convictions or guilty pleas. In Portland, Oregon—a city that saw high levels of violence—local prosecutors have declined to bring charges in many cases, while federal prosecutors dropped most of the cases they brought.
