Book ban at military service academies draws flak from Congress https://t.co/9kAO3RbPsJ via @usatoday `When a country starts to ban books, you know it is in trouble. Our Military academies is made up of adults, not children who need to be "protected". What are the 400 books?
@politico Why is protesting what is being done to the Palestinians considered Anti-Jewish? It is OK to be Anti Israel, and not Anti Jewish. I think Netanyahu is a war criminal, but am not antisemitic. .
Is anyone protesting Trump's return to legal discrimination by eliminating what is now called DEI, that was called Affirmative Action, and before that was called Equal Opportunity. All of these were the government's attempt to stop employers from discrimination.
@politico It isn't a cancellation; the suit will still go on against the Trump decision. It will hurt the states who cannot continue the programs while the suit is going on, but in the end Trump does not have the authority and states will get their money back.
I will never forget this day. I was my job to go to each branch library, deliver the news and close the libraries. Later that night, windows were smashed downtown in what was called a riot. I call it grief and anger.
@kron4news DEI programs are not used to favor one group over another. It was an attempt to stop discrimination. Perhaps the thought was that if the accomplishments of all races were included in our history, children would grow up with less prejudices.
@starsandstripes This is shameful. Trump has all eyes on other misdeeds while he makes an effective attack on Black people while no one is looking. There is no reason, no excuse for this.
@abc7newsbayarea Is anyone protesting Trump's return to legal discrimination by eliminating what is now called DEI, that was called Affirmative Action and before that called Equal Opportunity Employers. All of these were the government's attempt to stop employers from discrimination.
@abc7newsbayarea I vote no. Seems to be a waste and one more reason for the police to stop teenagers driving while Black or for any other reason. So, it's now "Get out the car so I can check your height"? NO.
@politico Is this supposed to be a cost-saving measure, or does he oppose payment for weight loss because he thinks it is not a health issue? Perhaps instead of cutting without checking, patients could be asked for a recommendation from a medical doctor
@abc7newsbayarea The postal service should not be privatized. The U.S. had one of the best mail systems in the world until the republic began the budget cuts. Support USPS.
