S. President Donald Trumps campaign the f. B. I. Is warning u. S. Politicians that russian actors are trying to influence the upcoming election and theyre doing it by going after democratic president ial candidate joe biden. We certainly have seen very active very active efforts by the russians to influence our election in 2020 through what i would call more of the malign foreign influence side of things social media use of of proxies state media online journals. Are an effort to both so divisiveness and discord and and i think the Intelligence Community has as says this publicly. To primarily to denigrate Vice President biden and what the russians see as kind of an anti russian establishment. Thats thats essentially what were seeing it was once considered a routine affair but this year the census in the u. S. Has been marred by Court Challenges and political controversy thats going to have an impact on how federal funding for states is allocated and seats in the house of representatives and thats accounting reports from chicago. For more than a century wave after wave of immigrants has settled in chicagos back of the yards neighborhood on the citys south side some striving others struggling. The stock yards that once made it a meat packing epicenter are now vacant but this remains a working class neighborhood where people depend on the Food Assistance health care and housing programs funded by the federal Government Programs that rely on the census to determine how much money is distributed to communities in minutes i mean they only asked me about my family how many people lived in my home i was never asked about my paper they didnt ask for my Social Security number a lot of people are afraid because they think theyll ask for their papers we met safina salazar at a food drive 150 package meals were collected in an hour back of the yards is a neighborhood with a low census Response Rate so state and county officials have organized food mask toiletry and book giveaways to earth people out of their homes during the pandemic once their volunteers help ensure they fill out census 2020 it serves multiple purposes because there is a need for food. You know we want to have the opportunity to interact with some of these residents and so. Weve been doing this for the past month and. You know i think that it does make a difference the 10 minutes it takes to complete the census translates into as much as 2000. 00 of federal funding per person a year for the next decade people before the pandemic in the shifting deadline for getting an accurate count for the 2020 census has become a challenge to trumpet ministrations flash funding for housing to and staffing it attempted to put a Citizenship Question on the form of the Supreme Court squashed that put the fear in immigrant communities like this one girl to compensate for the lack of federal funding illinois like other states has poured millions of dollars into getting an. Accurate census count it will neuer is expecting to lose a seat in the house of representatives seats are based on the census well for more than 200 years this was an administrative a nonpartisan process. And unfortunately we have a president in states who among his other sense has tried to discourage participation in the census. After living in back of the yards for 30 years some of that time undocumented most of us out as are is now volunteering for the census she says she realizes being counted means ensuring their neighborhood gets the resources it needs natasha going to.

The u. S. President has announced a series of measures to promote what hes calling patry arctic education in his speech at the National Archives museum he said the new socalled 776 commission would quote teach our youth to love america is criticize what he called a left wing indoctrination which he said views every issue through the lens of race and moves in response to the New York Times 1619. 00 project it highlights the long term consequences of slavery and the contributions of black americans trump has already threatened to cut funding from schools that have incorporated elements of the 161000 projects into their classes. As many of you testified today the left wing writing and many other direct result of decades of left wing in dr nation in our schools is gone on far too long. Our children are instruction from propaganda tracks like those of howard zinn that try to make students ashamed of their own history Jason Nichols is a senior lecturer in the africanamerican studies department at the university of Maryland College park and hes joining us on skype from etiquette city in maryland thank you very much indeed for being with us on aljazeera so the president says our youth will be taught to love america with all their heart and soul how do you react when you hear that phrase. When i think its terrifying i think whenever you talk about Patriotic Education it means that you wont acknowledge the mistakes that the nation has made throughout its history and when you dont acknowledge mistakes you are doomed to repeat them so this is another culture war tactic that the president is using and its actually more divisive then inclusive and its something that i think is very dangerous when you start limiting knowledge and limiting when people are exposed to any mention of howard zinn which i think is so important because howard zinn said one of the most important statements of the 20th century and that is that dissent is the highest form of patriotism thats what patriotism is to love your country so much that she wanted to be the best it could be not just that you will blindly praising the president has targeted particularly the 16900 project as i mentioned before now that project has been criticized for allegedly putting ideology ahead of. Historical understanding if you like how difficult is it do you think to teach a countrys history and not have it affected by ideology in some form. Well i would disagree that a lot of the complaints or the criticisms from actual historians are upset about the ideology of the 69000 projects most of the criticism of the 69000 projects project is that it doesnt acknowledge the colonial and remove but thats a historical argument that is saying that maybe there may be a factual issue there but the political argument thats coming from the reactionary right and the donald Trump Supporters is one that is not one that people in academia are making the historians are saying they love the idea of the 69000 projects they just think that it could be more historically accurate and i think that thats fine but when you Start Talking about you know ideological differences and which ideology you like best thats when you start diving into propaganda and thats what it is a reminder of a lot of things weve seen around the world where young people are actually indoctrinated and i will also remind your audience that this 1619 project has never been conceived or was never conceived to be a primary teaching tool it was a supplemental teaching tool and something that had articles that teachers could grab from and they could discuss with their students and thats the way it should be if i understand it correctly states are the ones who have control over they the levels of education and what is taught to the kids within their within that state how much of an uptake is the likely to be on for Something Like this given the fact that one would imagine that if states thought that this was inappropriate that what the president is suggesting was an appropriate thing to do they probably would have done it by now. Well i think we have seen it done in a few states i know the state of texas which is actually really influenced influential in terms of education for the entire country theyve done some things where theyve tried to eliminate chicago history or Mexican American history same thing in arizona people on the reactionary right want to destroy the fact that Mexican Americans have made a contribution and as a matter of fact texas and arizona are were indeed part of mexico so really what theyre trying to do is a race history which is the dominant form of propaganda is what theyre trying to do and this is happened before now its coming from the highest office in the land and thats even more dangerous than some of these people who are in these individual states is that youre getting a mandate from the president of the United States and thats a really powerful position and its something thats going to hurt our students for years were trying to get rid of whats called a lost cause history which under mind true history about slavery in our country and now you have the president was trying to undermine efforts to affect real education in our classrooms and thats really troubling just briefly let me ask if they think how concerned are you that they the factual element of history if you like the defendant the defendant have element of history as far as we can tell it because it is always going to be objective to some degree is going to get lost in amongst an overly sensitive approach towards political and cultural considerations particularly in the United States. So i think if you are really telling the story of the United States we are that multicultural multiracial nation and you are going to include the. Contributions of people who are of different backgrounds and certainly of the native people of our country and any time you are a race that thats what im most fearful of the more inclusion actually the better the more we learn about what made our country what it is the better and i think that thats actually historically factual we talk about railroads we cant talk about that without talking about Asian Americans we cant talk about you know texas and arizona new mexico without talking about california without talking about mexicans and Mexican Americans we can have to include everyone in our history and thats not ideology thats just fact and thats what made us who we are the desire to a race that is i think the most dangerous thing we can do i really appreciate you giving him expertise in this Jason Nichols thank you very much indeed for being an aljazeera thank you so much Tropical Storm sandy is bringing torrential rain to the u.

Person was accepted by a Public University free of charge he had one week of classes before the pandemic shut down his college his father is a teacher at the state funded school for the hearing impaired this is the 1st time he has stepped into the building in 6 months and it is still empty now. A huge percentage of Public School and College Students have no access to internet or the means to follow online courses but many in brazil say children should be back in class and have staged protests to make their point. If bar stores and Shopping Centers have reopened they say and schools should be allowed to do the same before the pandemic this school had 180000 the 1st day it reopened only 38 showed up the 2nd day only 5 resilience arent sure if schools should be open or not if its legal to do it or not theres only one rule everybody seems to agree with playgrounds like this one are off limits the owner says she followed all the safety procedures but brazilian authorities keep going back and forth this is getting help me some parents need to leave their children here because they have to go to work and dont have good Internet Connection for online classes but they dont know who to trust and meanwhile bills keep coming and since there has been no final decision if schools should reopen in Rio De Janeiro or elsewhere in brazil students teachers and parents from maine in limbo monica and active all just sirrah Rio De Janeiro. Iraqs government has launched a campaign to reduce the number of illegal weapons the aim is to reduce crime but some tribes say disarming them goes against their traditions though says about the reports from baghdad.

Weeks of tribal feuds lack of facilities and corruption have led to anger and protests here and a recent rise in targeted killings of high profile activists forced the Prime Minister to travel to basra to reassure people the governments will do more. Targeted killing of prominent iraqi scholar his family hashmi in july outside his home in this neighborhood in baghdad by gunmen on motorbikes prompted outrage across the country the government has been accused of not being able to protect its citizens from armed groups which is why many are turning to their tribes for protection this is why disarming tribes in iraq is not an easy task the name although. The issue of having weapons in iraq is not a new phenomenon its part of our culture especially the tribal culture so disarming tribes will require special initiative to convince tribal leaders that weapons position has a more negative impact on the entire society and a long history of conflict has also created a market for illegal weapons. Behati is one of the main tribes in the country in baghdad its leader explains why the governments plan wont work. I dont believe they will succeed it is considered an insult to take away the weapons of any thrive veterans are considered the symbol of all iraqi tribes it is because the government blocks power to protect people and enforce the rule of law that they use that thrives to settle data disputes and sometimes to be need to settle disputes back in may sand despite the challenges facing these forces the search goes on to rid the country of illegal weapons or such a Party Al Jazeera back that.
