Ohio Introduces its own “Don’t Say Gay” bill
The Columbus Dispatch.The bill also bans teachers from broaching other “divisive concepts” such as the 1619 Project, so-called “critical race theory,” intersectional theory, inherited racial guilt, diversity, equity, and inclusion learning outcomes, or “any other concept that the state board of education defines as divisive or inherently racist,” such as lessons or materials that portray America as an inherently racist nation or that are critical of the country’s past. ‘”The classroom is a place that seeks answers for our children without political activism,” Schmidt said in a statement. “Parents deserve and should be provided a say in what is taught to their children in schools.”But Ohio State Board of Education Member Christina Collins said some of the bill’s provisions are highly ambiguous, and ignore the fact that school districts already have policies in place around the teaching of controversial issues. While Schmidt and Loychik have avoided interviews with the press, Collins believes that Ohio’s decision to target “instructional materials” as well as classroom discussions, is likely to result in removing books with LGBTQ characters or content from elementary school libraries.The Ohio Education Association and the Ohio Federation of Teachers both oppose the legislation. “It’s rally going to put both teachers and parents in a really tough spot,” OEA President Scott DiMauro said of the bill.

Whoopi Goldberg says calling Hollywood stars ‘elites’ akin to racism
giving Will Smith a standing ovation after he smacked Chris Rock — saying that to call Hollywood types hypocritical “elites” is akin to racism.The actress — who is back on “The View” after her suspension for saying the Holocaust was “not about race” — came to the defense Thursday of her celebrity colleagues after they dismissed Smith’s onstage slap, with her shrugging, “Stuff happens.”Guest “View” co-host Tara Setmayer had been outraged by the ritzy audience’s reaction, insisting there needs to be “a lot of self-reflection in Hollywood.“They gave [Smith] a standing ovation,” she noted.“Which goes back to why some people feel like Hollywood elites are a bunch of hypocrites,” added the show’s lone conservative voice.Goldberg — who serves as the governor of the Academy’s Actors branch and won her own Oscar in 1991 as Best Supporting Actress for the flick “Ghost” — quickly cut off her fellow host.“I’m sorry, as one of those people, I’ve got to stop you,” Goldberg snapped.“I just want to stop with all this ‘elite’ stuff, because a lot of us work for a living,” she said, insisting that while “some are making millions of dollars,” that’s “not everybody” in the movie industry.“And it really pisses me off when people start to talk about people who work in Hollywood, not just actors, but all the other folks.

Real Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn Ward ‘slapped man’ and called Jewish woman a ‘little disease’, court hears
Dawn Ward allegedly told a Jewish woman that she was a ‘little disease’ and is said to have ‘slapped’ a man during an incident at a train station, a court heard. The Real Housewives of Cheshire star appeared at the Inner London Crown Court, sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice, this week charged with racially aggravated intentional harassment and possession of cocaine, which she denies. It is alleged that Ward, 48, unleashed a tirade on Jewish brothers, Jake and Sam Jacobs, and Jewish woman Samantha Eisner, at London Euston in October 2019. The two men were reportedly asking customer services about a train delay when Ward allegedly approached them and said: ‘Why do you lot always complain?’ Eisner – who is Jake’s girlfriend – told the court: ‘I didn’t notice her until she started speaking to us when we were at the information desk.‘She said, “Why are you lot always complaining?” and I replied: “What do you mean?” ‘She said to the boys, “You Jewish c***s” and then she continued to say to me that I was a little disease. I don’t think we had much of a response because we were shocked, we were upset.‘It was awful, I was upset and my grandpa was in Auschwitz and survived Auschwitz.
