PUBLIC schools in upstate New York are allegedly teaching kids that all white people perpetuate systemic racism and "show videos of dead black children." Christopher F. Rufo, a contributing editor of City Journal and director of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth & Poverty, detailed the "story of Buffalo Public Schools" in an article published Tuesday. Rufo revealed he spoke with a whistleblower who revealed Dr. Fatima Morell, the associate superintendent for Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Initiatives, has been pushing "radical politics." He wrote : "According to one veteran teacher, who requested anonymity, Morell’s training programs have pushed 'radical politics' and, in practice, become a series of 'scoldings, guilt-trips, and demands to demean oneself simply to make another feel ‘empowered.''

South Carolina adds firing squad to execution methods to address lethal injection shortage
Executions in South Carolina can now be carried out by firing squad after senators moved to address a shortage of lethal injection drugs. South Carolina 's state senate approved the move 32-11 on Tuesday, with a number of Democrats joining their Republican colleagues in the vote. It means that executions in the state can now be restarted after an almost 10-year delay, with those on death row having been able to exploit a grim courtesy that allows them to choose how they would die.
