conversations for weeks on end, they still pursued the ban. i don t want to learn a white-washed version of history. i want to hear all of it. teachers also say they are worried about broader implications. i have to now with this resource ban think twice about whether or not i should or could use a james baldwin quote as an opening for my class. there are teachers looking over their shoulders wondering if someone s going to be at their door darkening their door, that you said something or you mentioned something or you used something that you were not supposed to. the school district says it isn t a ban as much as it is a freeze on the materials outright so that they can be reviewed. but the review process has already been a year long. and some of those materials include books on malala yusefse,
one more thing. the job who has the worst job right now is the entire justice department, who is trying very, very steadfastly to promote a consistent constitutional message for the travel ban and they cannot do so based on the tweeting, based on his statements and precampaign and his now post campaign now presidential speech and rhetoric. they said don t call it a travel ban. they went out of their way to say this isn t a ban of any sort. this is all about national security. we saw sarah huckabee sanders try to dance around that la language now. but the president this morning, we have his tweets we could put up, he doubled and tripled down that this is a travel ban. he even used capital letters to call it a travel ban. he said the justice department should have staid the original
order and allowing the democrats to follow through the cabinet nominations. you have to be better prepared. that s all i m saying. the secretary of state designates the 7 countries of concern. if you don t have a secretary of state you have to do what president obama s previous secretary of state did. your problem as sy secretary of state kerry not with an unconfirmed nominee. maybe you should have waited until you had a secretary of state until you designed a policy. terrorism can t wait, chris. all right. i appreciate the spirited discussion it s good. but just as point of fact immigration did continue under that policy that was put in place in 2011. people were isolated from the countries. no question about that but it wasn t an out right ban. this isn t a ban. it s a 90 day moritorium.
another sign that says resists. another sign that says rise up. the other thing i should tell you is during the course of this, they re suggesting to people that it should not end here, that their activism has to go beyond this moment to their congressmen, to the governors, to the state houses, as well as to the white house to let people know they are going to resist this ban on immigrants. thank you so much. in battery park where she s saying thousands have gathered one week after the women s march on fifth avenue in new york city. we were hearing yesterday many of those are here today in new york city. this is dallas fort worth airport. we will continue to watch the protests as well as those who are standing up for those who have been detained yesterday. this was a very busy space in dallas fort worth, texas there.
political unit did confirm that, that dhs, certain individuals, as well as those working in justice did not get that heads up. is that that opening that hillary clinton, that you on the democratic side, had wanted here? now that you have faces that are kept at airports, stories, you could potentially work harder to work against this executive orderer. as a former clinton staffer, nobody want this had to happen and we tried to make it clear to people that we should take donald trump literally. he took his campaign promise and turned it into really sloppy policy work. and so in terms of the policy itself, though, i would argue in opposition to what adolfo said, he brought it up after the shooting in san bernardino and again after orlando and neither one of those would have been prevented by this ban in and of itself anyway. it s a reactionary policy that, yes, matches up with his campaign promise.
