The Supreme Court’s decision means that the justices will hear and rule on a case involving Court Administrator Beth McLaughlin and the Legislature’s power to subpoena.

Kendi to guide its federal grant criteria for American history and civics education, opposition to the racist indoctrination curriculum is growing.
In addition to alleging that the United States is filled with “systemic racism” that can only be cured by “anti-racist” training that singles out white people as problems, the proposed curriculum would use taxpayer funds to push a muddled version of American history that hides behind promotions of “diversity, identities, histories, contributions, and experiences of all students.”
