Biden Fought the Law and the Law Won… kinda
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2023 that President Biden lacks the authority to cancel $400 billion in student loan debt. “The Supreme Court blocked it,” Mr. Biden added, “but that didn’t stop me.” Yesterday he canceled $7.4 billion , bringing his total student deb relief to $153 billion since the SCOTUS said, “don’t.”
CDC Works Well with Teachers Union
The CDC decided it was safe for kids to go back to school. But the teachers union had other ideas. And the New York Post obtained emails that show it. The American Federation of Teachers successfully lobbied the CDC to change guidelines for returning to school.
The Case for Teenage Fights Including Knives
A Columbus police officer made a split second decision regarding teenage fights including knives. He shot and killed 16 year old Ma’Khia Bryant as the teenager was in the process of thrusting a knife into the body of another girl.
The event was tragic. And the outrage was immediate. And peculiar. Stephen L. Miller compiled a few of those responses in The Spectator:
‘Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.’
Bree Newsome, Activist
“A Black teenage girl named Ma’Khia Bryant was killed because a police officer immediately decided to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight. Demand accountability. Fight for justice.”

Meanwhile, former NAACP leader Cornell Brooks brushed it all off as “a schoolyard fight.”
Transgender Equity Order and Inequality in Sports
President Biden signed Executive Order 13988 guaranteeing transgender equality. The order also makes it easier for biological males identifying as female to compete in women’s sports. But the best high school boys routinely outperform the world’s best women in track and field. And that’s not a good look for Title IX.
Dr. Seuss Gets White Trashed on his Birthday
Our woke betters took out the white trash again this week. Dr. Seuss Enterprises has decided to stop publishing six of his books due to racial imagery. Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia sounded the alarm over the weekend. The district is discouraging reading Dr. Seuss on “Read Across America Day”. But they insist they did not cancel the good doctor:
Research in recent years has revealed strong racial undertones in many books written/illustrated by Dr. Seuss. Examples include anti-Japanese American political cartoons and cartoons depicting African-Americans for sale captioned with offensive language.”
Due to this research, as well as what LCPS described as its ongoing focus on “equity and culturally responsive instruction,” schools were advised to refrain from strictly linking Read Across America Day festivities with the birthday of Dr. Seuss, which also lands on March 2.

Dr. Seuss research? They’re just following the science.
