Texas parents doxxed for resisting mask mandates and CRT

 Washington Examiner:

Parents in Texas have been increasingly concerned over controversial issues circulating at their children’s schools, causing an uptick in involvement and pushback from school administrators.

This week, Norma Garcia-Lopez, the co-chairwoman of the Racial Equity Committee in the Fort Worth Independent School District, doxxed a group of concerned parents who had filed a lawsuit against the district’s mask mandates. Doxxing is when a person’s personal information, such as home address and phone number, is published online for punitive reasons.

“She doxxed us ... I got 17 voicemails at my work from one person,” Kerri Rehmeyer, a Fort Worth mother who sued the school district to block a mask mandate, told Fox News .

“It's astounding what the ‘White Privilege’ power from Tanglewood has vs a whole diverse community that cares for the well being of others,” Garcia-Lopez wrote on a Twitter account that has now disappeared. “These are their names: Jennifer Treger, Todd Daniel, Kerri Rehmeyer and a coward Jane Doe. Internet do your thang.”

In August, a court granted a temporary injunction against the mask mandates, but the school district continues to appeal the injunction to higher courts. While Rehmeyer opposes mask mandates, she told Fox News she believed Garcia-Lopez targeted and doxxed her because she and other parents also oppose the teaching of critical race theory in schools.

Parents have every right to be as concerned about schools implementing unnecessary mask mandates as they do the teaching of critical race theory. Fort Worth ISD has not been shy about embracing a curriculum designed to teach students solely from a race-based perspective. It has implemented one book called Courageous Conversations and held a two-day forum for teachers and others to learn about the book. The description is similar to the basis of critical race theory:

“A fast changing economy and open technology-based society requires current educational leaders to reflect how racism impacts policies, practices, programs, procedures and people, within the education system and how it has created barriers for students of color …. Participants will be introduced to the Courageous Conversations about Race Protocol as taught by Glenn Singleton. The course begins with an overview of racial equity work in Fort Worth ISD. Next, participants will learn about the Four Agreements, the Compass, and two of the Six Conditions.”

...

The persistent push of racist CRT and the attempt to impose it with semantic arguments has become a political problem for the "educators" who insist on it.  It appears they are doubling down with attacks on parents who object to what they perceive as indoctrination that has nothing to do with real education.  It is political propaganda imposed on students by the race-obsessed left.  There is a sickness on the left that sees everything through the lens of racism.  This persistence is likely to lead to less support for public schools that push it and more homeschooling and private schooling. 

One of the give-aways is a reference to racial "equity" which is a CRT code word for the racism they favor and avoidance of merit.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
