    Wonderful visits to the W.E.B Dubois Museum in Accra and Liberation Square. It is @vp Harris’ belief that African ideas and innovations will shape the future of world and I’m proud to be on this historic trip to Ghana furthering that narrative. https://t.co/1jm9OAqnjX

    “It’s a great signal for @VP to come to Ghana, to come to Africa and be that interface to show rest of world that actually it’s a fantastic place to look at in terms of partnership & investment…I was invited to the African Leadership summit to add some razzmatazz” https://t.co/PTzTVM6ljx

    The question was whether VP Kamala Harris’s trip to Ghana is to strengthen the ties between the nations or more about combating China and Russia’s growing influence on the continent.

    The answers by @VP and President Akufo-Addo were absolutely perfect. https://t.co/9TNXocIFaK

    Things that did _not_ kill kids today: – a renaissance sculpture – a film about Ruby Bridges – drag queen story time – the word ‘tampon’ – critical race theory – woke banks – saying that Rosa Parks was Black – gender-affirming care – ‘The Bluest Eye’
    What did: -an AR-f––ing-15

    This is exactly what the adultification of Black children does. Little Black children shouldn’t be protected from racism, but little Johnny and Janie are “too young” to learn such things, despite it often being their own family members teaching them.

    I think their end game is to dismantle state curriculum standards. Once they privatize schools they can stop teaching some students to read all together and teach them to do low skilled manufacturing labor.

    The movie “Ruby Bridges,” about a 6-year-old who integrated New Orleans schools in the 1960s, has been a staple of Pinellas County Black History Month school lessons.

    It’s being removed after a parent complained about it.

    Conservatives are targeting suburban school boards. And the elections are becoming political battlegrounds.

    ………………..

    The rise of those groups — many of which have ties to conservative megadonors and dark money organizations — during the COVID-19 pandemic has in turn stirred up Illinois Democrats and teachers unions. Backed by the bully pulpit and bank account of billionaire Gov. J.B. Pritzker, the state Democratic Party is wading into school and library board races in an unprecedented way this year, with a plan to spend nearly $300,000 supporting 84 candidates and opposing 74 across 17 counties. It’s a move that has raised concerns about injecting more money and partisanship into local elections for volunteer positions.

    Good.

    Glad that they are fighting back.
