Biden Admin. Likely Violated First Amend. with Social-Media Censorship; ‘Royally screwed’ by Government: Hawaii Victims ‘Getting Desperate’...more
Biden Administration Likely Violated First Amendment with Social-Media Censorship, Appeals Court Rules A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Biden administration likely violated the First Amendment by pressuring social-media platforms to censor posts about Covid-19 and elections.
The Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruling says that the White House likely “coerced the platforms to make their moderation decisions by way of intimidating messages and threats of adverse consequences.” The panel of three judges found that the administration “significantly encouraged the platforms’ decisions by commandeering their decision-making processes, both in violation of the First Amendment.”

“There seems to be a huge emphasis on ensuring that the media and anyone else can’t see what’s going on,” Cygnus reported.
“There are miles and miles of this black fence going up that was not here before that is obscuring ground zero and making sure no one can see what’s going on inside of there from the road, no one can get in there, no one can take any pictures.”
“I was almost immediately, after these 20 seconds, National Guard came and chased me off, yelled at me, told me to get back in my car and keep moving. So you cannot pull over. You can’t even stop you car anywhere near any of this anymore.”
In addition to the National Guard, Cygnus says there are “regular police, and what I have dubbed ‘special police,’ which are these police cars that are foreign made. The people that are driving them are not – they don’t look like any police I’ve ever seen in the United States. So kind of a bizarre situation, but they have a huge presence standing guard ensuring that nothing can be documented.”

Despite months of legal wrangling, the university, its president Melissa J. Baumann, and Gerber’s law dean Charles Rose have all consistently refused to provide any evidence of misconduct by Gerber that justifies his firing. In fact, the university has been so thuggish about this that it didn’t even tell Gerber he would not be teaching a course in the fall that was already fully enrolled and he had been teaching for years. Instead, he found out from a student.
In the end, however, the university is the one most threatened by this action. Gerber will get another teaching job, considering his excellent reputation in the law community. He will also likely win any lawsuit he eventually files, considering how ONU so clearly violated its own hiring policies in firing him.

In a desperate attempt to catch high school graduates up to speed, many universities are providing remedial writing classes to college students.
About 68% of those starting at two-year public institutions and 40% of students enrolled in public four-year universities took at least one remedial writing class between 2003 to 2009, according to an original report from the Department of Education.
Average math and reading test scores dropped significantly from 2019 to 2021, according to a 2022 study by two Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). It seems likely that the 2016 figures would be much worse if they were resampled in 2023, after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The lives of our children were destroyed by lockdowns — and long lockouts — from school during the pandemic.
This policy was largely forced through by Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.
But we now know that President Biden and his wife-teacher, Jill Biden, were the ones who overruled their own medical experts to give Weingarten what she wanted — and threw American kids out the window.

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham declared a “public health emergency” as justification to ban all concealed and open carry for the next month or longer, effective now.

Jerrod Belcher, whose six-year-old son J.B. attends Bagley Elementary School in Jefferson County, Alabama, says the school over-reacted to a game of "cops and robbers." A notice of suspension shared with Fox News Digital states that Belcher's son committed a "Class III" infraction on September 1 by "using his fingers to shoot at another student."
