Critical race theory has become a talking point. It is being banned in classrooms across many states. I was told by Donald Trump that I had to lay down my life in order to prevent my son from going to school. Critical race theory is a matter of national survival, according to Trump at a rally last weekend. The fate of any nation is dependent on the willingness of its citizens to lay down their lives for their country. There will be no one left to defend our flag or protect our freedom if we allow the Marxists and Communists to teach our children to hate America. I don't know what critical race theory is, but I know it's the most important issue America is facing. If my son's school curriculum includes only subjects of which I approve, I will die in a hail of chalkboard erasers. I'm not alone in this fight. The Alabama House of Representatives passed a bill banning divisive concepts in the state's K-12 history classes. Why does this not apply to math classes? We don't divide us more than fractions. The bill would prevent kids from being taught to hate America and hate each other, according to Ed Oliver, a Republican. It was perfect! I can't say what critical race theory is, but it must be stopped because it sounds like a path to hate America. We should teach our kids the Three Rs: Reagan, Rayer and I. Rex Huppke has more humor columns. In too many schools around the U.S., critical race theory is running amok, that's why Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed a similar anti-divisive-concepts bill into law. It threatens the integrity of education. I love that statement, it's something another guy named Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said about critical race theory on a radio show last year. I'm glad we have the 2022, version of Reeves to protect us from the 2021, version of Reeves, who is a commu-Marxist-socialism sympathizer. 41 states have introduced bills or taken other steps that would restrict, according to Education Week, which I don't read because it might teach me things I don't want to know. Efforts to keep this particular thing from happening are noble, but I don't want my child learning about other things. That sounds European, let's start with that. He might feel guilty about the way Americans have traditionally used commas if he were to introduce Tanner to foreign-sounding punctuation. I will not allow my son to be made to reckon with emotions that are not positive or patriotic. We must do away with the letter Y in all K-12 education. Critical race theory fear a mix of the predictable, the outrageous and the justified. I don't want my child to be taught that a letter can sometimes be a vowels and sometimes be a consonant. Y need to pick a side. I don't send my son to school to learn about age-inappropriate things. I have asked the Legislature in my state to ban the teaching of the letter. This is not intended to limit what children can learn. Not at all. It is only meant to protect my son from things that nobody is actually doing so he can continue to believe he is in charge. The Marxists and Communists and Socialists will win if that doesn't happen, as President Trump suggested. Follow Rex Huppke on social media.

A report published by the council this week shows that in 2020 a 15-year-old black girl was strip-searched at her school because she was suspected of being in possession of cannabis.

Canada's UN mission added multiple remarks to the March 16 missive from Russia's U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia. It would have failed with most of the council likely to abstain from a vote because it did not address accountability or acknowledge Russia's invasion of Ukraine or push for an end to the fighting.

Since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, there have been a number of stops and starts to the federal oil and gas leasing program. The effort to halt federal drilling auctions has been stymied by a court challenge from Republican-led states. A month ago, the Interior Department said it would delay upcoming federal oil and gas lease sales because a Louisiana federal judge blocked the administration from using its social cost of carbon value to factor the risks of climate change into decisions on permitting, investment and regulatory issues. Gov. DeSantis and his associates want to control what and how faculty teach, undermine tenure and rig the game to put their own operatives in charge. You should not put these in your cart.
