Thousands of Republicans and right-wing activists are gathering this week for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, under the banner “America Uncanceled” a jab at what many attendees and allies feel is an effort by Democrats, progressives and tech companies to silence conservative voices in American society.
“Cancel culture” has run amok, conservatives say. This belief is so widespread that it has inspired at least a dozen pieces of state legislation that aim to protect political speech, enshrine monuments and ban educational materials that supporters ....

Arkansas state Rep. Mark Lowery speaks to members of the Legislative Black Caucus about his bill threatening funding cuts to schools teaching the 1619 Project. The bill failed in committee on Tuesday.
The New York Times Magazine s 1619 Project has been a flashpoint in the nation s culture wars since its publication.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning effort, which has been largely acclaimed by scholars, historians and educators, challenges readers to think about the beginning of slavery on American shores as foundational to the nation s origin story. That notion has made it a frequent target of Republicans, many of whom have criticized the initiative as emphasizing racial divisions and sought to counter it with accounts they say will instill patriotism in students. ....

Black History Month (BHM) is celebrated in the United States from February 1 to March 1 annually. During Black History Month, also known as African American History Month, the lives and accomplishments of Black Americans are celebrated. It is also a time to reflect on their struggle and criticize harmful systemic racism and daily discrimination these very same people endure throughout their lives. BHM is a time to learn, ask questions, teach,
listen and educate ourselves about the impact of these hurts and joys. For the month of February, an article will be published each week to illuminate Black history and the ways it has uplifted individuals, communities, peoples, democracy, the United States and the World. Black writers, photographers and artists are invited to submit their contributions to The Lawrentian as a feature or as an ongoing project. Your voices are important, and we want to hear them.  ....

Why were Sun Prairie sixth-graders asked how they would punish a slave? District still mum on origin of lesson.


EMILY HAMER
Two days after a Sun Prairie middle school faced backlash for an activity that asked sixth-grade students how they would punish a slave, the district isn’t answering questions on where the lesson came from and why it was taught.
The Sun Prairie School District on Monday issued an apology, put the group of Patrick Marsh Middle School teachers responsible for the lesson on leave and launched an investigation into the incident, but has been largely quiet since.
District spokesperson Patricia Lux said in an email Wednesday that there has been “in-person support work” with the students who were given the assignment, but the district has not responded to repeated requests for comment on the origin of the lesson. ....
