Idaho bans the "indoctrination" of students in government schools.

Unfortunately, they stripped out specific language banning the indoctrination of Critical Race Theory into students.

I fear that this means that the gesture will be entirely ineffectual.

The left has gotten hysterical again. This time, it’s over a bill currently going through the Idaho legislature that would ban schools from "indoctrinating" students. Leftists claim it bans the teaching of critical race theory. It does not. What it does is make it legal to teach all points of view.

You can imagine how that’s going over on the left.

Several earlier versions of the bill did, indeed, ban critical race theory from being taught. But the final version voted on by the Senate on Tuesday took a much more ecumenical view of teaching history.

Senate Education Chairman Steven Thayn, a Republican, said, "There's no topic banned in the bill, there’s no book banned in the bill. It does not censor history, you can talk about anything in history. ... In fact, it does not ban the teaching of critical race theory, it doesn’t ban that. It doesn't ban anything. What it says is that you cannot compel students to adopt or adhere" to certain principles.

And that's a problem for the racial propagandists.

But is it? I imagine there are already -- or were already -- injunctions against teaching students forced to be in class political propaganda, and the teachers and bureaucrats ignored that.

Leftwing newspaper Gannett found to be paying blacks and Karens less than white guys.

Demands for diversity and economic fairness apparently stop at the front door of some newspapers in the nation’s largest media chain, Gannett.

In an unusual report on 14 Gannett papers by six reporters from some of those same newspapers, the company that is woke on the raging issues of race and fairness overwhelmingly favors whites in pay and job security.

"Our analysis of salaries in 14 newsrooms at Gannett, the largest newspaper company in the U.S., found pay disparities among women and people of color, as well as a dearth of diversity, in nearly every location that participated," said the report from the Newsguild, part of the Communications Workers of America union.

The chain has been a voice for diversity and equity, but some of those interviewed in the new report said the firm operates by a different code inside its offices.

Oh you don't fuckin' say.

Bar owner says he won't show any NBA games until the NBA bans Queen LeBron James, and says his bar has never been busier.

During a pandemic!

Following all the tweets and posts, Linneman told The Cincinnati Enquirer that he’s received a flood of comments, both positive and negative.

"The support for the position has been overwhelmingly positive and has far outweighed the negatives," he said.

Via John Sexton at Hot Air, now that the election was rigged -- um, sorry, I mean, now that the election was fortified by Democrat/socialist operatives and leftwing billionaires' money -- people suddenly feel comfortable admitting that the show they pretended to love for three years, A Handmaid's Tale, is a dour, depressing bore, and they're now Empowered Enough to stop watching it.

The Florida House has forbidden any state monies being paid to any corporation, such as the NCAA, that boycotts the state:
