Teachers Defy Critical Race Theory Ban


A hidden camera video by Accuracy in Media reportedly shows Texas


educators being told how to get around a state ban on critical race theo- ry teachings in their schools. A law firm giving a presentation in October at the Texas Association


of School Boards provided teachers with suggestions, such as having the book The 1619 Project in their school libraries but not making it required reading. The New York Times’ 1619 Project promotes claims of victimiza- tion caused by white supremacy. “All over Texas, administrators are pushing critical race theory into


every facet of public education,” Adam Guillette, president of AIM, told The Daily Signal. Many school districts in Texas have dedicated staff positions for

diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, to incorporate racial equity into curriculum and instruction. Guillette said Fort Worth public schools have 12 positions designated as DEI staff , and it isn’t uncommon to see such staff making $250,000 annually.

PRESIDENTIAL AGE LIMIT Utah voters prefer an age limit for presidential candidates, according to a new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll. Forty-eight percent believe the upper age should be 70. It was the top choice among voters from all gender, politi- cal party, and age groups. Twenty-two percent said that the age limit should be 80; 15% said 60; while 2% said 90. Thirteen percent chose “other.” Younger respondents were more likely to pick an age limit. “We’ve had discussions on both sides of the aisle, whether it be about Donald Trump or Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi or Mitch Mc- Connell — there is a grow- ing number of people who are talking about whether or not there should

MORE MOVING OUT People are fleeing California


at a rapid pace. According to recently


released Census data, 820,000 residents left the state in 2022. Texas was the most popu- lar destination, followed by Arizona, Florida, Washington, Nevada, and Oregon. Companies and upper-


income individuals have been leaving for some time, citing high taxes and leftist policies that make living in cities feel unsafe. But there are other factors that are hitting people across the stratum. “We are losing younger


folks, and I think we will see people continuing to migrate where housing costs are lower,” Manuel Pastor, a professor of sociology and American stud- ies and ethnicity at the University of Southern California, told the Associated Press.

NO POT FOR COPS? Jersey City Public Safety


Director James Shea has filed a lawsuit against the state of New Jersey and others to stop police of icers from being al- lowed to use cannabis. His suit cites a federal law


that prevents anyone using cannabis from possessing a firearm. Without a firearm and ammunition, a police of icer cannot do his or her job. Last year, New Jersey State


Attorney General Matt Platkin announced that New Jersey law allowed police to use can- nabis off -duty. “Every citizen in the state


of New Jersey has the right to use marijuana,” Shea told the media at Jersey City’s public safety headquarters. “If one of our of icers wants to do that, they could smoke as much as they want — they can no longer perform the duties of a police of icer, and we will

have to terminate them if we become aware.”


VIRGINIA


TRANS NOT VOTER FOCUS Education is one of the


top priorities of Virginia’s registered voters, according to a recent Washington Post- Schar School poll. Seventy percent say educa- tion will play an important role in deciding how to cast their vote in legislative races. Transgender issues, which


Gov. Glenn Youngkin has pri- oritized, were considered a low factor. Only 34% said they were very important. Mark J. Rozell, dean of the


Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, says: “I’m not seeing in the data that the trans issue and how that is playing in public schools is a big driver in the electorate.” Thirty-nine percent of


poll participants say schools are too accommodating to transgender students, 25% say schools are handling it cor- rectly, and 21% believe more should be done to accommo- date transgender students.
