The furor over critical race theory in schools has reached a fever pitch this summer, becoming a central issue in school board debates and on cable news programs alike. that would restrict how teachers discuss racism, sexism, and controversial issues.

It can feel like the issue exploded overnight. Where did these bills come from? And who is driving legislators’ interest?

Cancel culture targets Sheriff Kane
By Larry Lockman
I was hardly surprised by the outpouring of vitriol against Hancock County Sheriff Scott Kane since the story broke last week that back in June he revoked a county jail contract with Healthy Acadia. Kane took that action after the Ellsworth nonprofit announced its solidarity with Black Lives Matter.
Kane spoke the truth about BLM, and his truth-speaking provoked shrieks of outrage from all the usual woke suspects.
What we learned from the reaction to Kane’s comments is that even the mildest criticism of Black Lives Matter is regarded by leftists as blasphemy.
