A proposed bill in Nebraska would mandate that schools teach 9th graders that abortion is “reproductive justice.” Surely those opposed to banning CRT will speak out against this outrageous act of compelled speech.

Even if these bills are legal in a narrow sense, they contradict the spirit of free speech and open inquiry we should cultivate in K-12 schools. Right?
Frankly teaching kids that abortion is “reproductive justice”—as if any pro-lifer is inherently unjust—may be even more outrageous and Orwellian than the spirit murder crap.
I believe this is the correct link: siecus.org/wp-content/upl…

We keep hearing that Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo aren't REAL critical race theory, that the excesses of anti-racist education are separate from CRT.

Wrong.

You can trace all of Kendi and DiAngelo's ideas straight back to the seminal texts of CRT. freebeacon.com/culture/how-cr…
There are indeed some differences between critical race theory and the new racial orthodoxy. But the main premises of that orthodoxy—all racial disparities are illegitimate, unconscious bias is everywhere, racist speech is violence—all stem from critical race theory.
CRT is essentially a synthesis of Kendi and DiAngelo. Though neither figure is a critical race theorist, each has helped to popularize CRT's underlying worldview, one in which structural and subconscious racism are intimately intertwined.

SCOOP: three scientists who signed the original Lancet letter dismissing the lab leak dropped their names from a follow-up statement this week.

Asked whether they’d changed their minds about the likelihood of a lab leak, one of them replied: "NO COMMENT!" freebeacon.com/coronavirus/3-…
The new statement reasserts that there is no "scientifically validated evidence" to suggest COVID-19 escaped from a lab, and is signed by the same scientists who dismissed the lab leak in a February 2020 statement. Except for 3: William Karesh, Peter Palese, and Bernard Roizman.
Karesh is the executive vice president for health policy at EcoHealth Alliance, the group that was funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab with grants from the National Institutes for Health. EcoHealth's president, Peter Daszak, organized the original statement.

On paper, there should be little pushback to transgender activism in the UK, where people have been arrested for misgendering others online. Yet critics of trans activism are now mainstream across the pond. Why?

Socialized medicine and feminist wine moms.freebeacon.com/culture/in-the…
British law and culture seem tailor-made to crush dissent on trans issues. Britain has no 1st Amendment and no religious right. In 2018, the Church of England adopted a policy of "unconditional affirmation of trans people," instructing clergy to use parishioners' preferred names.
Yet Britain has seen a flowering of feminist organizations opposed to the excesses of trans activism. And British courts are becoming more skeptical of hate speech claims; some have reinterpreted Britain's anti-discrimination laws to protect skepticism of trans-identity.

SCOOP: Biden's COVID team appears to have entertained a test-and-trace app that would have let businesses deny service to patrons based on their health data.

It also would have divided users into three color-coded categories—just like China did last year.freebeacon.com/coronavirus/co…
The app was pioneered by the University of Illinois, which apparently tried to sell Biden on scaling up the school's contact tracing system. It records test results and Bluetooth data to determine who has been exposed to the virus—and "links building access" to that information. Image
The system resembles the one being used in China, where a mandatory app gives each user a "health status"—green, yellow, or red—that dictates access to public spaces. The University of Illinois app likewise divides users into three categories: yellow, orange, and red. Image
