After telling a George Mason student who opined that Israel was "doing genocide" that "your truth... cannot be suppressed," Kumala is now doing damage control. She now claims she "strongly disagreed" with that student's ignorant, ungrammatical utterance.

But as John Sexton notes: Why didn't she say that yesterday, to the student?

And why is she now "suppressing" that student's "truth"?

I guess it's good that she strongly disagrees with the student about Israel. What’s not so good is that she didn’t manage to say anything close to that yesterday when the student was saying it. What happened there exactly? Is there a reason she didn't say how she allegedly felt at the time? Having your office get a third party group to say how you felt a day later seems sort of pathetic. Maybe this helps explain why Harris' office just added two crisis communication staffers[.]

Sexton also reports on a UCLA professor who has been suspended for not agreeing that blacks should be graded more leniently in college.

The SJWs passed around screenshots of his email declining to give blacks special Racial Advantages in grading.

Over the next week, Klein received death threats on his voicemail and police officers were eventually stationed outside his house. The school's dean responded to the situation not by defending Klein but by suspending him and banning him from campus.

...

Three weeks after it started, Klein was reinstated. Unfortunately, that didn't undo the damage the allegations and the suspension had done to his reputation. Cancel culture left a mark on his career even though it didn't succeed in getting him fired.

You see, most of my income comes not from teaching at UCLA but from consulting to law firms and other corporations. Several of those firms dropped me after they got wind that I'd been suspended -- the better to put distance between themselves and a "racist." That cost me the lion's share of my annual income. The students involved in this escapade may have moved on to other causes. I have not. I'm not sure I ever will.

He's suing UCLA. God help him.

Obama called the open borders regime "unsustainable." The media did not report this newsworthy quote.

ABC "News," in fact, cut this newsworthy soundbite out of their interview.

Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich drew attention to ABC News on Tuesday for editing an interview with former President Barack Obama to omit his assessment that open borders were "unsustainable."

"Immigration is tough," Obama told Good Morning America in a portion of the interview that was cut from television but quoted in the 12th paragraph of a story on ABC’s website. "It always has been because, on the one hand, I think we are naturally a people that wants to help others. ... At the same time, we're a nation state. We have borders. The idea that we can just have open borders is something that ... as a practical matter, is unsustainable."

The comment was notable due to its implications for President Joe Biden, Obama’s former vice president, and his handling of Haitian migrants flooding the United States’ border with Mexico. In an evening segment on Bret Baier’s Special Report, Heinrich noted that Obama’s analysis had been "cut" from the interview "and published only in the online article."

Biden's education secretary Restores Norms by saying that parents raising their concerns about masks and CRT at school board meetings are just mad that Trump didn't win:

He then opined that parents should not be the "primary stakeholders" in determining how their children are educated. That's the job of the teachers unions and education bureaucrats, of course!
