The Official Critical Race Theory Is Doing Awesome Thread

Many of the students are probably still alive.

I was intrigued to see Ezra Pound and Donald Davidson mentioned in connection with the 1958 Clinton High School bombing. One of the prominent agitators was an antisemitic conspiracist from NJ.

It was just over a year after the desegregation of Clinton High that Eisenhower finally unsheathed the sword. When the governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus, called on the state’s National Guard to prevent nine Black students from entering Central High School, in Little Rock, Eisenhower, after agonizing privately, federalized the Guard and sent in the 101st Airborne, to insure the students’ safety. The Black students were able to attend.

But the following fall the state legislature closed all public high schools in Little Rock for a year. Southern states had always threatened this as an option. In 1959, Prince Edward County, in Virginia, closed its public schools for five years. Speed was very deliberate across the South. By 1964, ten years after Brown, less than two per cent of Black students in the South attended school with whites.

One of the prominent agitators was an antisemitic conspiracist from NJ.

Being anticommunist, antisemitic and racist apparently cut no ice with the local Klan and the White Citizens' Council. The white power movement is definitely more cosmopolitan now.

They actually bomb [John Casper's] headquarters in December. The local Klan bans him from all meetings in the spring. The white Citizens' Council bans him from their meetings in the spring, so he liked to think he was in charge. But I think a lot of the locals thought otherwise.

Ruby Bridges is still alive. The story she wrote about her own life is being banned from classrooms.

She turned 69 today.

Very interesting article about Josiah Henson, whose life story Harriet Beecher Stowe drew on for Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Who was Josiah Henson? Born in 1789, according to his autobiography, he was enslaved in Maryland and Kentucky and served as an overseer before escaping to Canada in 1830. By 1862, when Lincoln checked out the Key, Henson had helped found a 200-acre settlement in Ontario, known as Dawn, which provided a refuge for hundreds of free Black people who had fled bondage in America. He had also made numerous return trips to the American South to help guide enslaved people to freedom. In total, Henson said, he freed 118 people; by comparison, Harriet Tubman is believed to have freed about 70.

Update on the Llano library case, the local Commissioners Court just got sued for improperly canning the librarian after she refused to remove allegedly indecent material.

Apparently one of the Commissioners is claiming the matter was never put before them.

Llano County Conservatives would rather close public libraries, for some reason, if they contain "naughty images and words", or books about divisive topics like caste.

Moss, a defendant in the lawsuit, said the Commissioners Court does not determine whether librarians are hired or fired and that he had no role in or knowledge of the decision.
"The first thing I heard about Ms. Baker being terminated was on Facebook," he said in a phone call with the Statesman.

Moss said the Commissioners Court never voted to have books removed. He also said the court was not aware of books being removed, and that he had not seen any of the 17 books listed in the federal lawsuit before he was served with the papers.

The lawsuit says Milum removed books based on their content, violating the library system's weeding policies, by which books that have not been checked out for several years, are in poor physical condition or are outdated are taken out of circulation. Moss said the commissioners had no part in the weeding process.

A group of Llano County residents who opposed the censorship filed a lawsuit in April 2022. A judge for the Western District of Texas ruled the court had violated First Amendment rights and issued a preliminary injunction that ordered the county to replace numerous books in April 2023.
The county appealed the ruling to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, where the case remains pending.

After the court order came down, members of the pro-removal group demanded that the county close the libraries altogether to prevent children from accessing what they called "pornographic filth," the Statesman reported. Dozens of people attended a Commissioners Court meeting convened by Cunningham over the issue, with more than half urging the county to keep the public ins utions open.

The libraries remained open, but Baker said she has watched as the library has become less accessible to the public. The county has not hired a new librarian to replace Baker and operates with one full-time and one part-time librarian, compared with three full-time librarians in 2021. And though the libraries used to be open on Saturdays, they are now closed on weekends.

"The library cannot function with the skeletal staff that it has now," Baker said.

The county also has frozen book purchases since 2021 and blocked access to more than 17,000 digital les, the lawsuit states.

Can't forever hide in that gated community. Our fellow Americans are paying more. Whether justified or greedy - spending money is very high on Americans priority list. It's assumed with Capitalism. Americans work very hard and hate being told how to spend.

Europeans are basically accepting rising costs will fund the War in the East
