OHIO STUDENTS SUSPENDED FOR PATRIOTISM, RECEIVE COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS
Two Ohio High School Seniors have received college scholarships after showing their true patriotism by carrying a thin blue line flag and thin red line flag onto the football field on 9/11 to honor first responders.
Brady Williams and Jarad Bentley were suspended briefly after they carried the flags onto the field after being told not to do so. The two had brought the flags to honor first responders at a football game on 9/11.
Their suspension was eventually overturned after the school district deemed that their actions were not politically motivated.
Despite the school having issues with them showing support for law enforcement and firefighters a local non profit, Holiday for Heroes, has decided to award the two college scholarships for their actions.
“Brady and Jarad are true PATRIOTS, they did something last Friday that showed they are far beyond their years. These men stood up for a cause they believe in. As they took the field with flags in hand it reminded us how we felt 19 years ago, heartbroken yet strong and united.” - Holiday for Heroes
Chinese State Media Promotes The Far Left ‘1619 Project’
CHINESE STATE-RUN MEDIA OUTLET CHINA GLOBAL TELEVISION NETWORK IS PROMOTING THE FAR-LEFT, REVISIONIST HISTORY INITIATIVE KNOWN AS THE “1619 PROJECT,” AFFIRMING THE GROUP’S NARRATIVES SUCH AS HOW 1619 “SHOULD ACTUALLY BE SEEN AS AMERICA’S YEAR OF BIRTH.”
Appearing in China Global Television Network (CGTN), an outlet which serves as a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party, the op-ed “Barr & Trump Try To Rewrite Slave History But Fail In Reality” also contains several digs at President Trump and U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr.
The nearly 800-word piece hypes the findings of the 1619 Project, a New York Times affiliated initiative aimed at infusing American history taught in classrooms with social justice narratives. It’s central thesis is that America’s birth year is 1619, the year slaves first arrived, as opposed to the conventionally accepted year of 1776.
CGTN agrees with the project’s findings, insisting 1619 “should actually be seen as America’s year of birth”:
“The project marks the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first slaves in the Virginia colony in 1619, which should actually be seen as America’s year of birth.”
The outlet also criticizes President Trump’s efforts to remedy the influence the 1619 Project has amassed throughout American classroom by launching a Patriotic Education Commission:
“Speaking on the campaign trail in Wisconsin at the U.S. National Archives, the U.S. president said his administration would instead launch “a new pro-American lesson plan for students” called the “1776 Commission.” This is supposed to counter the 1619 narrative, 1776 being the year of America’s Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately for Trump, no amount of denial or deception can erase the contribution of African-Americans in the country. To his credit, however, his negation of the facts on this matter follows his trend of denying almost everything that does not suit his interests or ideology.”
CGTN also likens President Trump’s initiative to “whitewashing” and “mockery”:
“Admittedly, slavery was not exclusive to the States. But an attempt to rewrite history by whitewashing its brutality and other social and economic consequences is an injustice to the societies who still bear deep and indelible scars of this trade. Instead of engaging in mockery, Trump should really have tried to...
Pelosi Stonewalls Bill That Would Crack Down on Chinese Influence in U.S.
House Dems block bill to crack down on regime-sponsored Confucius Institutes
House Democrats are blocking a bill that will curtail the influence of the Chinese-government-funded Confucius Institute, stymying bipartisan legislation that unanimously passed in the Senate.
Despite bipartisan support in the upper chamber, House Democrats—including a cosponsor for the bill—voted against placing the CONFUCIUS Act on the agenda in late July, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) has yet to announce plans to place the bill on the floor. If passed, the legislation would require all federally funded universities with Confucius Institutes to assume "full managerial control" of the institutes, a move that would limit the Chinese government's influence over the program.
Frustrated by the lack of action, congressional Republicans are blaming Pelosi for blocking debate for the bill, criticizing the House speaker for putting politics over national security.
"I regret that Speaker Pelosi has still not scheduled the CONFUCIUS Act for a vote," said Rules Committee Ranking Member Tom Cole, who introduced the July vote. "This isn’t about politics. It’s about holding China accountable, and Speaker Pelosi clearly hasn’t made that a priority."
This is not the first time Democrats have opposed bipartisan legislation that sought to hold China accountable. In March, House Democrats railed against a bill that demanded Beijing disavow its conspiracy theory that the novel coronavirus originated in a U.S. military lab, labeling the bill racist against Asian Americans. House Democrats also dropped out of the then-bipartisan China task force in an unexplained, last minute...
