Police Department in South Carolina Says It Has 'Zero Tolerance for Hate Speech'
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Reason
A free speech organization sent a letter to the police department last week, calling its anti–hate speech post unconstitutional. The Columbia Police Department (CPD) wants South Carolinians to know that it has zero tolerance for "hate speech," and that's a problem. Last week, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a First Amendment organization, sent Columbia's police chief a letter after the CPD posted an image on Facebook with text that says, "WE HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR HATE SPEECH." The image, posted on June 25, also features a police officer holding a phone that says "BLOCK LIST LOADING." In the post's caption, the CPD wrote, "We have seen an increase in vulgar, racist, threatening, bullying, and disrespectful comments under reels and other posts."

An underage boy was also reportedly raped at a time when the Ceuta medical system is completely overwhelmed...All the girls are Moroccan and were reportedly under the age of 14 when they were raped, with an emergency doctor verifying the cases and noting that many of these minors are sleeping on the street because of a shortage of places in shelters. Susana Ascaso, an emergency-room doctor at Ceuta University Hospital, confirmed in an interview published by the Spanish outlet El pueblo de Ceuta that her service is dealing with cases of rape involving migrant girls. She described the victims as 14-year-old minors who remain on the street because reception centers for minors have no available places.

Sky's DiJonai Carrington tries to clarify 'White Privilege' post
Topic: Political Correctness

DiJonai Carrington is trying to clear up her "White Privilege" post on social media. The Chicago Sky guard was ejected after committing a hard foul on Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham on Saturday. Then, shortly after being thrown out of the loss in Chicago, Carrington took to social media. She posted "White Privilege" in all caps and tagged the Fever on Threads while the game was still going on. That post, as of Monday afternoon, is still up. But on Monday, ahead of her 26-point performance in the Sky's 97-88 loss to the Seattle Storm in Washington, Carrington addressed the post while responding to former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho. She insisted that she "never once claimed that the assessment of the foul was white privilege."

'This is so wrong,' Cassidy says after president calls for breaking up MMR vaccine.President Trump on Monday signed an executive order calling for revamped childhood vaccine recommendations that promote his long-held but discredited theory that childhood shots should be spaced out into separate medical visits. The order advocates separating the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine into three different shots administered in separate appointments, and directs the nation's health department to improve vaccine research, according to a White House fact sheet on the order. Separate measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines for children are not currently available in the United States, and vaccines are already extensively researched, the AP reports.

Turning the page on reading. America faces a literacy crisis with no happy ending in sight.

America is facing a literacy crisis with no happy ending in sight. Nearly one-quarter of U.S. adults—21%—are illiterate, and 130 million people can’t read a simple story to their children or sound out more than a few basic words. The problem isn’t confined to high school dropouts, those with disabilities, and non-­English speakers. It affects university students, working professionals, and those who grew up speaking English at home. It goes beyond the inability to enjoy books, skim websites, and write emails. Medication instructions, ingredient labels, and posted warnings can conceal deadly risks from nonreaders.

Sudan’s invisible children – born in war with no legal identity

...especially the children of rape. A 17-year-old Sudanese girl holds a young child in her arms with a heavy calm that belies her age and the concerns she has for his future. "This son of mine has no father, no birth certificate and no national number," Amira, whose name has been changed to protect her identity, tells the BBC. Looking down at him, she speaks slowly as if still trying to grasp the details of what has happened to her since the civil war erupted in Sudan. She and her family used to live in the eastern neighbourhoods of el-Fasher, a city that came under siege from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been in a brutal power struggle with the military since April 2023.

Britain's latest free speech assault is underway... An elite police unit set up by the Labour government has already flagged more than 100 social media posts to local forces, monitoring online "protest related activity" in a move critics brand a sinister step toward state control of speech. The National Internet Intelligence Investigations team, created in the wake of the 2024 Southport riots, began operations in February. Freedom of Information figures obtained by the Telegraph and reported today show it has made 106 referrals of "suspicious" posts to forces across the country.

Incoming University of Michigan freshmen will have their first-semester grades kept off their transcripts under a new policy aimed at easing academic pressure and addressing concerns over student mental health. The policy will begin in fall 2027 and apply to first-year students in the university's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. Students will still receive traditional letter grades during the semester, but their final grades will appear on transcripts only as a "P" for pass or "NC" for no credit.

WNBA's Terrible, Horrible, No-Good Very-Bad Week

WNBA is what the entire country would be like if run by white liberal women. Three major controversies intersect here: the anti-white/anti-heterosexual bias in the DEI-obsessed league; the alphabet ideology insistence that reserving women's sports for women is bigoted; and the tolerance for violence against Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham among league officials and even their own coach.

A Judge Condemns Facebook for Enabling Mass Sexual Exploitation of Kids. Big tech is in a lot of trouble, as the law, the financing, and the American people turn against them. Plus, Amazon's antitrust troubles, and a crack in the electric utility high billing scam. Before getting to the full round-up, I want to discuss some events this week in the courts that demonstrate the increasing vulnerability of big tech and AI firms. There are three separate ways the position of these firms is weakening. Their legal protections are fraying, their financial position is more fragile, and the politics for them are turning downright toxic.

Tactic Of AOC And Her Allies To Giggle Away 'Craziness' Of Woke-Era Abuses

Should Not Be Tolerated. The so-called "Woke 1" period is not something to laugh off... Many Democratic Party candidates emerging on what one might call the populist left are finding success in primaries across the country. But most of them have a shared liability: they were fully on board with the worst excesses and abuses of the "peak wokeness" that emerged in the wake of George Floyd's 2020 killing, enduring and contaminating most of our institutions for several years after.

Texas Man Arrested After Ranting About Age Verification Laws Blocking His Anime

Did he make a true threat? Or was this just hyperbolic ranting about bad policy? "Unlock my fucking anime," a Texas man told authorities in an expletive-laden rant last month. He now faces criminal charges. The man called the office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on July 25, apparently upset that he was being blocked from viewing anime of some sort. "I don't know which one of you sons of bitches passed this motherfucking bill to get this damn shit blocking my motherfucking anime, but you whole ass motherfuckers need to unpass this shit," he allegedly said in a voicemail, the transcript of which was provided to KXAN by the Texas Department of Public Safety. "Y'all are fucking ridiculous with your bitch asses. My Google account says I'm fucking over the age of 18, and your dumbass is passing these dumbass laws"

Jason Arday’s Cambridge Grift Ends
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: New York Post
— But the Post-BLM Reckoning Has Just Begun. So he’s gone: Jason Arday, Cambridge University’s scandal-ridden professor, has resigned. The “rock-star academic” famous for his long hair and tall tales has fallen on his sword following media exposés of his plagiarized Ph.D. dissertation and his fabulist claims of racial oppression. Yet while the disgraced dreadlocked prof might be shuffling off into ignominy, this disaster is far from over. We need to ask why so many prestigious institutions — not only Cambridge but the entirety of English academia — fell for this man’s grift. The real story here is less Arday’s BS than the fact that so many ostensibly clever people were sucked in by it — the inevitable consequence of the intellectual class’ craven cave to the cult of BLM.

'Privileged Idiot' DSA Co-Chair Has Absolute Porridge For Brains

The Democrat party has been freaking out about the Democratic Socialists of late - despite striking similarities between their policies - because while Democrats are happy to sweet talk voters into socialist ideas that signal maximum virtue, they don't actually want to enact policies that would make blue-city budgets even more dire than they are. In short, the party is panicking because the voters they radicalized are electing radicals... So what better way to let progressives see what they're voting for? Trot out a co-chair of the DSA with maybe two brain cells to rub together, ask her simple questions, and watch her implod

Well, none of us saw that coming. But then again, it is AOC so anything goes. This time it’s the grand and icky announcement that she’s going through the regimen to harvest and freeze her eggs. “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has started the process of freezing her eggs — and is using a vlog on Instagram to give her lefty fans mundane updates such as her taking hormonal injections. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), 36, revealed in a weekend post that she had been saving up for and contemplating the procedure for some time — hailing herself as a “badass” for taking on what tens of thousands of women have already gone through."
