(NY POST) AOC dragged for ‘bad theater’ after crying over Iron Dome vote
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being dragged for “bad theater” after she appeared to break down on the House floor just moments after she voted “present” on an effort to provide $1 billion in funding for Israel’s Iron Dome.

(KC STAR) IRONY. KC Star editorial board uses “a small group of students” to advocate teaching kids how to be racists
(After a small groups of circulated an online petition calling for a return of slavery, the KC Star advocates that teaching kids to see each other for their skin color is a good idea.)
Circulating the petition is more than hurtful to their schoolmates — it’s scary. Either these students have no idea what chattel slavery in this country looked like, or they do and therefore lack any understanding of basic sensitivity to their fellow humans.
In either case, education is in order. And that can’t just come from teachers. Parents and the larger community must play a role here, too.
Since 2015, the district — where about 66% of the students are white — has been training teachers and staff in cultural competency and “to create classrooms that are culturally responsive so that all students feel safe,” said Nicole Kirby, Park Hill’s spokeswoman.
