Alabama Republicans giddily killed DEI and banned "divisive concepts". Hmm, seems then they made the 3 state Confederate holidays illegal. What's more divisive than the treasonous Confederacy? al.com/opinion/2024/0…
A bitter irony: As Passover nears (the holiday begins this evening), a holiday when Jews celebrate their ancestors’ liberation from Pharaoh, today Alabama’s state gov’t celebrates Confederate Memorial Day. The Confederacy was all about enslavement - a “Pharaoh’istic” practice.
#OnThisDay in 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote his “Letter from Birmingham Jail” on scraps of paper and in the margins of newspapers. “I am in Birmingham because injustice is here,” he wrote. Jail trusties passed his words to his lawyers, who transformed the handwriting into…
“AL is 1of only 6 states that utilize a funding formula based on student enrollment rather than the challenges that students might face, such as poverty ...” FIAA is joining with allies to advocate for our public schools to be funded more equitably. alreporter.com/2024/04/12/new…

SB 129 (anti-DEI) is about preventing honest discourse. A step towards dealing with AL state gov’t-sponsored divisiveness would be to eliminate Alabama’s 3 Confederate “holidays:”Jefferson Davis Day, Robert E. Lee Day & Confederate Memorial Day. @GovernorKayIvey @GarlanGudgerJr
Former President Trump referring to some migrants seeking to enter the U.S.: “They’re not people, in my opinion.” It is repugnant & heretical that anyone would refer to children of God in this manner. nytimes.com/2024/03/16/us/…

Andy Beshear: "DEI is a[n] acronym for very important values found in our Bible. Diversity, equity & inclusion is about loving each other. It’s about living out the Golden Rule. Diversity will always make us stronger. It is an asset and never a liability." apnews.com/article/kentuc…
more of this, please. Hanks is exposed to a horrific event in US history, and instead of being angry that he is exposed to something upsetting, he's outraged at the people who kept this in the dark for so long. Serious adults want to understand the world in which they live.
