<\/a>Riots & Revolution<\/h1>\n
\nIn my podcast with Fred Siegel a few weeks back about the rioting and deterioration of situation of New York and other American cities, Fred remarked that the real cause of our current trouble is that “the sixties never ended.” And a lot of people have been saying that 2020 reminds them of 1968\u2014the year when everything went wrong and the country seemed to be on the brink of coming apart.<\/p>\n
\nLast week, Scott reported that Dartmouth will impose mandatory “implicit bias” training on all students, faculty, and staff. Even Dartmouth’s board of trustees “has committed itself to participating in the training.”<\/p>\n
\nMost of America celebrated the Fourth of July this past weekend. Most, but not all. Some chose to denounce it in one way or another.<\/p>\n
\nHundreds of chanting protestors returned to a wealthy St. Louis couple’s home, threatening, “If we don’t get no justice, then they don’t get no peace.”<\/p>\n
\nA New York City education council was having a zoom meeting last week but the meeting broke down into shouted accusations of racism. One member of the council named Robin Broshi, who is the group\u2019s past president, was shouting at another man named Benjamin Morden. It\u2019s clear from the conversation that she\u2019s accused Morden of racism before and he is sick of it. In the midst of this, she accuses another council member named Thomas Wrocklage, who is also on the call, of racism. His crime? Wrocklage, who is white, was seen on a previous zoom meeting bouncing a black child on his lap.<\/p>\n

\nEmory & Henry College in Virginia has announced to students the school will re-examine its wasp mascot. Why? The bug may appear “exclusive” to students who are not White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, or “WASPs.”<\/p>\n
