Sixty years of failure
So now the book banning by the progressives includes selected Dr. Seuss books, a series of books that I enjoyed reading to my two successive generations over the years and never realizing the racist idea being put in my head or of my kids and grandkids.
I guess that is the point of the banning, since I am not “woke” to systemic racism, I am too ignorant to realize that Theodor Geisel was subverting me and my family over the years and I must be protected, by the banners of these books. But wait, these book banners are the same progressive left that has largely controlled the domestic policies over the past 60 years on how to serve our nation’s poor and erase racism. Therefore, why should there be a concern about racism in our society? Weren’t the programs they instituted, such as the war on poverty, affirmative action and others meant to wipe out racism and inequality?

Shares
The Yolo Audubon Society is offering a virtual nature journaling workshop at 9 a.m. Sunday, March 14. The workshop is free and will be conducted over Zoom. No experience is necessary. (Note: March 14 is the first day of Daylight Savings Time.)
Alison Kent will introduce the art of nature journaling, with a discussion of tools and materials for about one-half hour. Participants will then go out in their own neighborhoods or another area of choice to walk and journal. The group will reconvene at 11:15 a.m. to discuss and share their journals.
Examples of nature journaling, suggested art materials and additional resources and information are available on the Yolo Audubon websites: yoloaudubon.org or facebook.com/yoloaudubonsociety. Those interested should register for the Zoom event on either website.

WHEELING After being delayed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wheeling Fire Department and the American Red Cross Ohio River Valley Chapter are resuming their plans to install nearly 200 free smoke alarms as part of their “Sound the Alarm” campaign.
Sharon Kesselring, executive director of the American Red Cross of the Ohio River Valley said Wheeling was chosen as one of three West Virginia “Sound the Alarm” cities in early 2020, with a goal to install free smoke alarms in homes, reducing the risk of death and injury due to a home fire. The pandemic halted that campaign.
