  1. So, I just happened across this article, when the Vanguard came to mind.  🙂

    Actually, “more” than the Vanguard, as I’m starting to think that there’s a craziness afoot. (Or maybe, just trying to get out of a traffic ticket – via attempted intimidation using a convenient “topical” allegation?)

    Body camera footage of a routine traffic stop in early April captures the moment a Hispanic L.A. County Sheriff’s Department deputy was harassed and berated by a racist motorist who insisted he was both a “murderer” and a race traitor.

    1. Ron, I watched this on the news and it was unbelievable how racist that teacher acted.  I wonder if she will get the Amy Cooper treatment?  Lose her job and be publicly shamed?  Or does she somehow get a pass because she’s black?

      1. I didn’t actually watch the video (just came across the article and briefly skimmed it), so I didn’t realize that the teacher was black.  However, I have been informed on more than one occasion that black people cannot be racist, so there’s no possibility of that.  🙂

        I don’t know who Amy Cooper is, but I’ll check it out. From your comment, I already have some idea regarding what that is about.

        On a broader level, I see that some states are pushing back (banning) critical race theory, especially for younger kids.  I didn’t even know that this was being taught in the first place.

        And here’s another story for you (below). I’m starting to see some pushback on all this, lately – including in mainstream news.
