Minneapolis teachers union agreement stipulates White teachers be laid off first, regardless of seniority

The agreement, reached last spring, exempts teachers from 'underrepresented' populations from seniority-based layoffs.

An agreement between the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers union and the school district states that White teachers will be laid off before teachers of color, regardless of their seniority.

The agreement, which was reached to end a two-week teacher strike last spring, says that starting this school year, "if excessing a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the district shall excess the next least senior teacher, who is not a member of an underrepresented population."

Excessing teachers is the process by which staff are reduced at a particular school due to a drop in enrollment, funding or other reasons.

Comment: From Ann Coulter:
Not surprisingly, such anti-white layoff policies have come up before. Teachers' unions are constantly trying to fire all the whites, and the courts are constantly having to remind them of the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act. (What's that called again? Oh yeah: PRECEDENT. Liberals love precedent!)

E.g.:

In 1972, the teachers' union in Jackson, Michigan demanded a similar "Whites First" layoff policy in its collective bargaining agreement.

Supreme Court: UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

In 1975, the Board of Education of the Township of Piscataway, NJ, tried the same thing.

Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (en banc): ILLEGAL!

Not to worry, racist teachers' unions! You can still HIRE 100% on the basis of race. But you can't FIRE someone on the basis of race: "It is clear that the language of Title VII is violated when an employer makes an employment decision based upon an employee's race."

An Iranian government official denied on Monday that Tehran was involved in the assault on author Salman Rushdie, though he justified the stabbing in remarks that represented the Islamic Republic's first public comments on the attack.

The comments by Nasser Kanaani, the spokesman of Iran's Foreign Ministry, came more than two days after the attack on Rushdie in New York. The writer has now been taken off a ventilator and is "on the road to recovery," according to his agent.

However, Iran has denied carrying out other operations abroad targeting dissidents in the years since the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution, despite prosecutors and Western governments attributing such attacks back to Tehran. And while Iran hasn't focused on the writer in recent years, a decades-old fatwa demanding his killing still stands.

Britain on Monday became the first country to approve an updated Covid-19 vaccine that targets both the Omicron and original 2020 strains in what has been hailed as a significant new addition to the "armory" against the virus.

According to a statement of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the "bivalent" Spikevax vaccine, manufactured by Moderna, has been approved for adult booster doses " after it was found to meet the UK regulator's standards of safety, quality and effectiveness."


Comment: Standards that have proven to be shockingly low.


The dose is divided into two 25 microgram components, one of which targets the original virus strain and the other neutralizes Omicron, MHRA explained.

CDC eases Covid guidelines saying virus is 'here to stay'

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced changes to their Covid-19 guidelines on Thursday, dropping so-called "quarantine" periods for unvaccinated people who have been exposed to the virus.

The changes are a big step away from those that had originally been put in place when the virus first made its way to the US, with social distancing set at 6 feet apart and quarantining measures being the norm with people who were merely exposed people having to self-isolate for up to two weeks. The agency's shift comes as schools begin to reopen across the country.

"We know Covid-19 is here to stay," said CDC epidemiologist Greta Massetti during Thursday's news briefing. "High levels of population immunity due to vaccination and previous infection, and the many tools that we have available to protect people from severe illness and death have put us in a different place."

UK hospitals now 'birthing people' - media

Despite the switch to 'inclusive' definitions, there is not a single record of a patient using them.

A third of England's state-run maternity hospitals have adopted terms such as 'birthing people' or 'pregnant people', in addition to or in place of 'mother' or 'pregnant woman', according to the Daily Mail. Such de-gendered language is promoted by powerful and influential LGBTQ organizations.

The British newspaper submitted Freedom of Information Act requests to the 124 NHS hospitals in England with maternity units, and found that 42 of them have adopted this language. Only 29 still exclusively use the words 'women' or 'mother' to talk about pregnancy, while 15 are considering giving their literature a woke makeover.

Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals told the Mail that they combine gendered and woke terms in the phrase "women and birthing people," in a bid to "be as inclusive and representative as possible." However, they could not say whether a single one of their patients has ever identified as anything except a woman.


Comment:It is because their patients know and feel what they really are. They are women and only women can get pregnant and give birth, no matter that Psychopathic PTB are trying to play gods by creating some insane reality they expect people to accept.


Comment: It looks like the lunatics control the madhouse now. This nonsense can't exist for a long time because it is unnatural and destroys societies, people's minds and souls.

If we take into account the "human cosmic connection", we can conclude that if we don't change anything soon, something huge and bad will come upon "western civilization. "If we won't change ourselves and come in line with the universe, then the universe will fix the problem sooner or later."

A conservative politician attacks a peer-reviewed research paper by a Humanities PhD student.

Sounds terrible, doesn't it? Anti-free speech. Anti-academic freedom. A chilling atmosphere for researchers. But before you get out the loudhailer and head to protest outside Parliament, perhaps it would be good to get a little context. First, here's the tweet, from Conservative Party MP Neil O'Brien:

My instinct upon seeing a tweet like this is to click the link to the paper — in this case, one published this year in the journal Qualitative Research — and take a look at it. The instinct of several other academics on Twitter was to instantly, reflexively defend the paper from O'Brien's criticism. But we'll get to those academics in just a moment. For now, let's actually look the paper - if we can stomach it.

Scotland appoints first ever 'Period Poverty' & menopause officer, and it's a MAN

Dundee man and former personal trainer Jason Grant is the newly appointed period dignity officer for the Tay region but critics say the role should have gone to a woman.
The decision to appoint a man as Scotland's first ever so-called 'period dignity officer' has prompted outrage, on the same day the flagship law offering free period products to all in need of them was launched.

Dundee man and former personal trainer Jason Grant is the newly appointed period dignity officer for the Tay region - who has the task of promoting access to free sanitary products across schools and colleges - where he will also discuss issues around the menopause.


Comment: One positive from this warped shambles is that more people will become wise to just how corrupted their government and public institutions have become.


It follows the Scottish Government's introduction of the Period Products Act, which means councils and education providers are now legally obliged to offer out tampons and pads for free in a response to a period poverty campaign


Comment: 'For free', paid for by the public through increased taxes. That said, helping the soaring numbers of people falling below the poverty line is not necessarily a bad idea, however people should be outraged that a scheme like this is necessary in the first place, not congratulating the government on its failings.


Comment: This is the same Scottish government that are clutching at 'emergency' Covid powers, and who failed to ram through a warped gender bill through parliament:

A wooden bridge over a river in southern Norway collapsed early Monday, with a car plunging into the water and a truck getting stuck on a raised section. The drivers of both vehicles were rescued and doing well, police said.

Police were alerted shortly after 7:30 a.m. (0530 GMT; 1:30 a.m. EDT) that the bridge had collapsed as a truck and a car were crossing over it. The cause wasn't immediately known.

The car plunged into the river while the truck remained on the bridge in a nearly vertical position on a section that was raised at a steep angle out of the water.

A helicopter assisted in the rescue operation and pulled out the truck driver, police said. The driver of the car managed to get out of his vehicle by himself.

I was called a killer for warning of lockdown harms

This cancer crisis is the predictable consequence of the NHS focusing exclusively on Covid-19

During the pandemic, I wrote for this newspaper an article entitled "Why can't just one of these endless press conferences be dedicated to non-Covid related illnesses?" Perhaps naively, I thought it might be a suggestion which the Government would take up. Virtually cost-free, an uncontroversial subject and very little downside: why wouldn't they do it, I thought? The idea received a warm response on Twitter. Others clearly shared the same view. I'm certain it was seen by the army of bureaucrats working on pandemic communications, yet nothing came of it.

Instead, those valuable hours were spent justifying ludicrous policies, dishing out patronising lectures and terrifying the country into submission with apocalyptic scenarios. I vividly remember a Brigadier, dressed in military fatigues, explaining with the help of a stick how he was building emergency Covid hospitals. All very impressive until he was asked who would staff them. It was clear that the Government wanted to be seen to be doing "something", rather than actually aiming to consistently and instructively inform. It was pure theatre.

Comment: That was precisely the plan: The accumulation of non-COVID deaths due to mandatory neglect.

Zaporozhye Power Plant
Ukrainian troops shelled a residential area in the city of Energodar on Sunday, a member of the local administration, Vladimir Rogov, reported in a Telegram post. A local 49-year-old resident was killed in the strike, he added. Energodar hosts the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the largest such facility in Europe.


Comment: Ukraine is killing its own people, as well threatening to cause potentially catastrophic damage to the nuclear plant.


The man was walking his dog when the shelling began, according to Rogov. A 24-year-old woman was also injured in the attack, he said, adding that she had been sent to a hospital. The Ukrainian strike also targeted an area near the city's thermal power plant, where the shelling caused a fire close to the facility, the official said.
