Several schools in Alabama, including schools in Mountain Brook and Huntsville, have been attempting to introduce critical race theory into our students curriculum through the backdoor.
They have been attempting to implement the Anti-Defamation League’s “No Place for Hate” program. This program is being pushed nationwide onto local school districts by the leftwing National Education Association (NEA). The National Education Association, which the Alabama Education Association is an affiliate, adopted an agenda item at their recent convention that stated, “it is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understanding and interpreting the impact of the past on current society, including critical race theory.”
Research by Rhodium Group says China emitted 27% of the world’s greenhouse gases in 2019. The US was the second-largest emitter at 11% while India was third with 6.6% of emissions, the think tank said.
China’s emissions more than tripled over the previous three decades, the report from the US-based Rhodium Group added.
They build coal plants monthly.
THE US PAYS FOR CHINA TO POLLUTE
In 2019, the Institute for Energy Research wrote, “…with soft, voluntary commitments under the Paris accord, China (like India) can cheerlead while requesting “cash for climate action” out of a $100 billion annual kitty.”
That still holds, two enormous polluters can continue polluting and the US can pay for it. China is about to take over as the world’s largest economy, yet we fund their coal plants.

How does one know in real time a hero is in our midst? By hero I m not referring to an exemplar of physical courage, which is generally easy to recognize; I m referring to one who personifies moral courage. There s no sure way in the case of the latter, in real time.
The only sure way is to await the passage of time for the judgment of history to see if a statue or other concrete marker praising him or her for past acts is erected, which happens almost always after he or she has gone on to a heavenly or other reward when it is too late to do the exemplar any good. Look how long it took Montgomery to recognize white Bus Boycott heroes Bob and Jeannie Graetz.
