Caitlyn Jenner telling Sean Hannity she would be tough on riots and more round out today s top media headlines.
NBC News was ripped on Thursday for filing a joke report that gave President Biden kudos for reaching his goal on the reopening of schools but admitted that many students are still learning at home.
The NBC Politics piece cites new survey data showing that 54 percent of public schools below high school are now offering full-time classroom learning to any student who wants it. The report refers to that number as a milestone, but it s filled with footnotes about Biden s supposed success.
CDC now stands for Corrupt Democrat Cesspool
Since its founding the Centers for Disease Control was something extremely rare. It was a government agency that actually functioned reasonably well. Sadly that is no longer the case. It is now a corrupt agency that cares more for being politically correct and spouting progressive ideology than science and medicine. I am not exactly sure when the CDC began its decent but it most likely took place during the Obama Administration. During that dark period the CIA, FBI, and NASA all became mobs of liberal political hacks.
It quickly became evident as the Coronavirus pandemic unfolded just how little the CDC now cares about medicine and science. The CDC has gone out of its way to embarrass itself with statements that contradict basic tenants of science and medicine. I know I’m not the only one who noticed. Check out this statement by Senator Tom Cotton:

Mirroring moves by other red-state legislatures across the country, Texas Republicans are attempting to reach into classrooms and limit what public school students are taught about the nation s historical subjugation of people of color.
Two bills moving through the Texas Legislature would bar the teaching of critical race theory, an academic discipline that views race as a social construct and examines how racism has shaped legal and social systems.
Decrying critical race theory has emerged as a common refrain among conservative Republicans nationwide, but the Texas legislation would go further by discouraging Texas students from discussing current events or controversial public policy issues.

Building for the Future: Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation in Schools
The nation’s public education sector includes 98,000 public school buildings, 2 million acres of land, and 480,000 school buses – the largest mass transit fleet in the country. Currently, school infrastructure earned a D+ on America’s infrastructure report card, but investments in schools can accelerate the transition to a clean economy, create good jobs now, and help advance a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable society.
Join K12 Climate Action, the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association, Sierra Club, and World Resources Institute for a two-part event to learn about the opportunities to make school buildings, grounds, and transportation models for sustainability. Hear from infrastructure experts, community leaders, and policymakers from around the country over the course of two days.
