The UK risks becoming a world leader in online censorship — Big Brother Watch
The emergence of a free and open internet was one of the greatest achievements of liberal democracies.

VIDEO: A Debate on Critical Race Theory | Anti-CRT vs. Pro-CRT | A Panel Discussion
I'm very excited for this episode, especially with this dynamic group---who are willing to dialogue openly about some controversial topics---more specifically---on Critical Race Theory.
Disclaimer: The point of this discussion is not for either position to "win." It's to present a clear picture of why each side is passionate about their stance. My hope is to exemplify why candid, uncomfortable, and perhaps, tense dialogue with the "opposing side"---is the most important step to an authentic start to better race relations for this country.
*The original goal was to have 8 panelists. Last minute, we ended up with 7 panelists. The uneven groups were not intentional.*
COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: I definitely consider myself a local supporter of Nick and his work. I would recommend supporting him on Locals here, as he has some good work both behind and in front of him.
In 2020 he was the focus of a fanatical UK based Black Lives Matter mob, whom applied pressure to get him fired from a charity that he founded over here.
Luckily he was able to win out in the long term and get his job back. He’s the real deal and a good man… we need to support him! – BrandX.

France Bans Use Of Woke Gender-Neutral Language In Schools: ‘Is A Danger For Our Country’
France is continuing to crackdown on far-left attempts to make the country woke by banning the use of gender-neutral language in schools, saying that the push was a threat to the French language altogether and could push people to learn English instead.
“The country’s education ministry issued the ruling last week after a push to include full stops in the middle of written words – dubbed ‘midpoints’ – which allow both male and female forms to be represented simultaneously,” The Daily Mail reported. “In French grammar, nouns take on the gender of the subject to which they refer, with male preferred over female in mixed settings.”

Biden Needs To Stop the COVID Vaccine Harassment Already
