ADL redefines racism to adhere to CRT: Jonathan Greenblatt, a former Obama administration official and current director of the well-known international Jewish Anti-Defamation League, has redefined the term “racism” on the group’s website. The definition now reads: “The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.” ADL previously defined racism as “the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics.” The Jewish Policy Center responded simply, “This is entirely unacceptable.” Indeed, as Boyce College professor Denny Burke put it, “That’s CRT trying to manipulate the unsuspecting.”
Get woke, go broke: Speaking of CRT, a Wisconsin business whose owners embraced the Black Lives Matter anti-white narrative in the wake of George Floyd’s death is experiencing the negative consequences of promoting actual racism. Bill Penzey, CEO of Penzey’s Spices, recently held a “Republicans are Racists” sale over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Penzey also included in his company’s newsletter his view that Republicans were lying about BLM violence as an excuse to buy guns “to get their chance to shoot a Black person.” Predictably, many customers didn’t take too kindly to Penzey’s hate, and now he’s begging for new customers, even offering a deal on gift cards, as he admits to losing some 40,000 subscribers following his hateful anti-Republican screed.
Biden spent a third of first year away from White House: Apparently, Joe Biden is not a big fan of his current Washington digs given that he’s spent more time away from the White House than either of his last two predecessors in their first year. Biden spent 140 days away from DC. Ninety-five of those were in one of his two Delaware houses and another 45 days were at the presidential retreat Camp David. While the number of days Biden has spent away from the White House is not unprecedented — George W. Bush hit 151 days away — he has drawn deserved criticism for avoiding the DC spotlight during crisis, most especially during his abysmal Afghanistan surrender. Glaringly, the MSM has hardly noticed Biden’s absence, though it continuously blasted Donald Trump for being away some 124 days during his first year. The biggest difference is that Trump was busy accomplishing his agenda of putting America first, whereas Biden has done nothing but man the wrecking ball, whether in DC or his basement in Delaware.
Biology class tells students to eliminate “gendered terms”: Needham High School in Massachusetts provides the latest example of the Rainbow Mafia’s crusade against Western society’s sexual norms and basic science. Students in a biology class were asked to refrain from using “gendered terms” because they “marginalizes” those whose gender “identity” doesn’t align with their biological sex. Included in the lesson was a slideshow presentation on biological sex in which students were given examples of sex-transitioning plants and animals and instructed to find other examples of “gender fluidity” in nature. Objecting to the lesson, Parents Defending Education’s director of outreach, Erika Sanzi, observed: “Needham High School promised a science class and instead delivered a pseudoscience class. The slides shared by the biology teacher are harmful and wrong because they are factually inaccurate, sow confusion, and rely heavily on regressive sex stereotypes.”
