WHO Kills MAHA-Backed Hepatitis B Baby Vaccine Trial
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Armageddon Prose
Since September of last year, a team of Danish researchers, backed by $1.6 million in funding from RFK Jr.’s CDC, had planned a large-scale hepatitis B vaccine trial in the sub-Saharan African nation of Guinea-Bissau. Per the study design, the control group of 7,000 infants would skip the at-birth hepatitis B vaccine dose and receive it later on at six weeks, whereas the experimental group of 7,000 infants would receive the shot immediately at birth, the objective being to assess potential adverse health impacts of the hepatitis B shot in day-old infants — a practice which the Public Health™ experts stateside have gone to war to shield from scrutiny

A bar ethics complaint has been filed against New York Attorney General Letitia James for allegedly making prejudicial statements about the “Cornell 7” in the days before being appointed special prosecutor to look into criminal charges for the Ivy’s Chi Phi frat members, The Post has learned. Two days before she was appointed special prosecutor to reopen an investigation into a 2024 alleged gang rape at Cornell University’s Chi Phi house, James posted on social media: “What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable.”

Hair-Raising Case

White Baltimore Arts Executive Fired For Wearing Cornrows. It was not deemed a fun hairstyle choice adopted on a vacation but rather a despicable case of cultural appropriation that warranted her termination... A White Baltimore arts executive was recently fired in September from the Baltimore Rock Opera Society. The reason was not that Kelly Carnes was chronically absent or failed to perform her duties as the new executive director. Rather, it was the hairstyle that she briefly adopted on vacation. You see, Carnes is white, and co-workers were apparently triggered by her getting cornrows while attending the Burning Man festival.

The company touted the version of its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot as containing "stronger built-in safety protections for teens, including features to promote healthy use and additional controls for parents."

Turkey bans social media for kids under 15
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Politico.EU
The law comes amid a global push for tougher age restrictions on social media platforms. The government of Turkey on Saturday formally banned access to social media platform for children under the age of 15. The law was published today following the Turkish Parliament's adoption of the bill last April. The ban will come into force on Nov. 1. Social media platforms will have to "take the necessary technical and administrative measures, including age verification," to implement the new rules, the law states. The age verification system would work with a government-issued "token", according to the law's Article 7.

The SPLC's Hate Map Was Never a Map.
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Hot Air
It Was a Hit List Washington Used. The SPLC is most famous in conservative circles for being one of, or perhaps the biggest funder of, the hate groups it claimed to fight. It was so tight with the hate groups that it committed bank fraud to fund them, laundered donor money to subsidize recruiters, and one of its key employees was literally living and sleeping with a white supremacist.

“I am Trying to Figure Out the Way to Do This”
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Jonathan Turley
MS NOW, Omar, and the Art of the Evasion. “I am trying to figure out the way to do this.” Those words from MS NOW’s Chris Hayes say all you need to know (and likely all you will get) from his interview on Wednesday with Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. There is a litany of questions the liberal host never asked of Omar. Those questions have only increased over the years, leading to the current criminal investigation into immigration fraud. At points, Hayes sounded more like a supplicant than a journalist given his discomfort with asking pressing questions.

The political path of the Cornell rape allegation
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Washington Examiner
It seems likely the case will become even more political in coming days and weeks. And, as with everything else in our society, it will become to some degree about Trump. A media narrative, and a social media debate, will emerge in which the fraternity members become associated with Trump, and the woman becomes associated with the forces of good and
decency standing up to Trump.

The Great Feminization Comes to Cornell
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Free Press
A male prosecutor declined to bring charges, citing the accuser’s statement. New York’s governor replaced him with a woman saying, ‘Two women perhaps are looking at this differently than men would.’ This time last year, the conservative writer Helen Andrews delivered one of the most talked about essays in recent memory. Published in “Compact” and titled “The Great Feminization,” it argued that the woke era was best understood in terms of the differences between men and women. “Cancel culture is simply what women do whenever there are enough of them in a given organization or field,” she wrote. The essay established Andrews as one of the most provocative voices on sex and power in American life, launching a thousand responses. It also included a stark warning: A feminized legal system would come to represent campus Title IX tribunals, where sympathy for accusers outweighed due process.

The Last Time A College Hired An Obama Aide
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Daily Wire
To Investigate A Sex Scandal, It Didn’t End Well. The fact-finder said one thing. The mob said another. The college chose the mob. Cornell officials may think that campus activists will accept the findings of a well-regarded female Democrat lawyer. But that’s not what happened eight years ago, when the University of Rochester hired ex-Obama lawyer Mary Jo White to get them out of a similar situation. The university called on White after Mother Jones reported in 2016 that two junior faculty, Celeste Kidd and Jessica Cantlon, accused professor T. Florian Jaeger, an acclaimed scientist, of being flirtatious, creepy, and socializing with graduate students.

...at a Public Meeting for Saying School Employees' Job Titles. "You can't talk about the superintendent," a Foley Public School Board official told Blake and Katy DeMarais when they tried to advocate for their disabled and nonverbal son. During the public comment period at Foley Public School Board meetings, concerned citizens are forbidden from saying not only the names of school staff and officials but even their titles. These revelations come from Blake and Katy DeMarais, concerned parents of a disabled and nonverbal special education student in the district. Over the summer, the parents complained that the district was failing to provide educational services to their son, only to be censored in a public meeting.

Education, Vouchers, and School Choice
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Future of Freedom Foundation
Although every service imaginable is or has been provided by the free market, governments at every level are united in their belief that there is one service that government at some level should provide, fund, regulate, control, and/or mandate that every child should receive: education. And it is not just government. Most Americans believe likewise, and have for over a hundred years. Even most of those who pay tuition to send their children to a private school undoubtedly still believe that government should have public schools and exercise some degree of control over education even if it takes place at a private school. Many federal government officials have sent their children to Sidwell Friends School — an elite private Quaker school in Washington, D.C. — including Presidents Clinton and Obama. Yet, none of those government officials who enrolled their children there ever called for the elimination of public schools.

The Education Cartel and the Blue State School Scam
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Jonathan Turley
“In the first place, God made idiots,” Mark Twain once wrote in an 1879 travel book. “That was for practice. Then he made school boards.” It appears that most Americans now agree with him. New polling shows that K-12 education has now reached a record low in the number of people who are even “somewhat satisfied” with the state of education in the U.S. What is most troubling is that the near-total contempt for our school system does not make a bit of difference. Families and students have become largely irrelevant to an education cartel, a self-sustaining, self-perpetuating political alliance of unions and politicians.
