Top High School in Virginia Accused of Holding Back Awards in the Name of ‘Equity’
One of the highest-ranked schools in the commonwealth of Virginia is facing backlash from parents of students after the school chose to delay announcing the results of certain academic awards, in order to maintain “equity.”
According to Fox News, one parent came forward to explain how the delay in announcing the results of the awards negatively impacted many students’ college applications. Asra Nomani, in an interview with “Fox & Friends First” on Wednesday, said that “this year the entire controversy just blew up because the kids got their certificate, weeks after early college application deadlines, just dropped on their desks as if it was just another piece of paper.”

Black Lives Matter Eulogized Fidel Castro and Praised Domestic Terrorists
I came across the following eulogy for the murderous Cuban dictator Fidel Castro while looking for more information on “Mama Assata,” as BLM calls the convicted cop-killer and domestic terrorist Assata Shakur, AKA Joanne Chesimard. This is straight from BLM Global Network itself and not from any of its detractors.

NEW YORK GOV FREES 11-YEAR-OLD BOY’S KILLER
On a cold October day in ’93, an 11-year-old boy brought a piece of birthday cake to his mother.
The Queens neighborhood, less than two miles from former President Trump’s childhood home, had seen better days. Giuliani was still a year away from taking office and under Mayor Dinkins, a racist pro-crime hack, New York City had hit lows that it would not see again until the return of Dinkin’s pro-crime protege, Bill de Blasio.
As Travis Lilley headed off with cake from a birthday party downstairs to the New Look Beauty Salon where his mother was working, the street was overrun with drug dealers fighting turf wars. New York Boulevard, renamed Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, after one of the first black politicians in the borough because it was where Brewer opened the Democratic Club that still bears his name, with its fast food joints, auto repair shops and beauty salons, was dangerous.
The beauty parlor that Travis’ grandmother owned was on an intersection favored by drug dealers. Local business owners had complained to the Dinkins administration with no results.
Travis, who would forever remain eleven on that day, went downstairs to the beauty parlor that his grandmother owned. Drug dealers opened fire. The bullets, the prosecutor would later describe, “tore away the back of Travis Lilley’s head.”

I had started on this story ten days ago, but had dropped it. It sat in my ‘drafts’ queue for a bit, until I say this tweet from Helen Gym Flaherty,[1] formerly a Philadelphia city councilwoman, and now a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Mayor:
But while the longtime activist who is typically aligned with the Democratic Party’s left wing said violence is “destroying our city and our people,” she was far from taking a tough-on-crime tone.
“I will not use this crisis to roll back the clock on civil rights,” she said. “While many people in this race will talk about public safety, let me be clear: Decades of systemic racism and disinvestment brought us to this place.”
Mrs Flaherty’s campaign website is full of the usual ‘progressive’ bromides, but, at least as of this writing, there’s no actual issues page, telling the city’s voters — of which I am not one — what she would actually do in office if elected.

RAAAAACISM?
I’m waiting with baited breath for the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, etc and so on to call this racist now that Biden is doing it
Joe Biden will now require travelers from China to show a negative coronavirus test to enter the United States after claiming in 2020 former President Donald Trump’s coronavirus response was “fanning the flames” of “hate, fear and xenophobia” against Asian Americans during the pandemic.
It’s always an honor to be included in the Daily Top 5! Thanks!
You write good stuff sir!
