Portland public school teachers will now take gender identity and race into account before disciplining students‚ according to an agreement between the school district and its teachers union. The requirement appears in a collective bargaining agreement between Portland Public Schools and its unionized teachers‚ which ended a nearly month-long strike late last month. The agreement with the Portland Association of Teachers was ratified on Tuesday. When a student engages in “continuous disruptive behavior‚” school officials must develop a “support plan” for the student that “must take into consideration the impact of issues related to the student’s trauma‚ race‚ gender identity/presentation‚ sexual orientation … and restorative justice as appropriate for the student‚” the agreement states‚ according to the Washington Free Beacon. The new disciplinary policy also prohibits suspending a student who threatens or harms other people. Those students may now only be removed from their classroom and sent to a “self-regulation space” within the school. Previously Portland schools could suspend middle and high school for at least five days for extreme cases of students causing physical harm or threatening violence. Now through the union agreement‚ the district has expanded its rapid response teams‚ which are supposed to intervene early in these situations. The agreement replaces the term “unacceptable” student behavior with “continuous disruptive” behavior‚ and refers to “support plans” rather than “behavior correction plans.” More than 40‚000 Portland students returned to the classroom last week for the first time since Halloween when the teacher strike ended. Due to the strike‚ students’ winter break will be cut in half to make up for the class time they lost this month. Parents have complained this decision affects their holiday plans. Portland’s teachers will get a pay raise of about 14% over three years thanks to their new contract with the district. Student discipline has been a growing concern in Portland’s public schools. Portland teachers have said they are seeing “more students in crisis” with mental health issues‚ which can lead to fights. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP In response‚ the Portland school district has been working to beef up its “restorative justice” practices over the last two years. “So that we’re really shifting from this punitive way of how we respond‚ to either discipline‚ or how we respond to our students who do get suspended or expelled and need to reenter‚” Char Hutson‚ the program manager for restorative justice said in 2021. However‚ after the pandemic‚ the district saw a spike in requests for the district’s restorative justice services‚ seeing up to 60 requests in the fall‚ 2021 semester compared to just 40 requests for the entire previous school year‚ Hutson said at the time. Failing discipline policies were one of the concerns among conservative parents in other parts of the country who ran for school board after the pandemic.

Former Vice President Al Gore called for a ban on social media algorithms‚ which he argued were the “digital equivalent of AR-15s.” Gore was speaking at the United Nations Climate Conference (COP28) when he made the comments‚ saying that the algorithms were designed to lead readers down obscure “rabbit holes‚” and as such‚ posed a danger to those who used the platforms.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley’s candidacy for president is receiving financial backing from top Democratic donor Reid Hoffman. The billionaire Hoffman‚ co-founder of LinkedIn‚ donated $250‚000 to a pro-Haley super PAC‚ SFA Fund Inc. Before making the donation‚ Hoffman’s team reached out to the PAC and asked if his money would be welcomed. The PAC answered in the affirmative‚ Hoffman’s team told The New York Times. Hoffman has also donated $759‚600 to help re-elect President Joe Biden‚ Bloomberg reported. Hoffman moved to support Haley in the GOP primary after another Democratic megadonor‚ Jamie Dimon‚ the head of JPMorgan Chase‚ urged Democrats to back Haley last week. Dimon and a cadre of other business leaders are supporting Haley for the Republican nomination. “Even if you’re a very liberal Democrat‚ I urge you‚ help Nikki Haley‚ too‚” Dimon said at a summit for global business elites. “Get a choice on the Republican side that might be better than Trump.” Hoffman has a long history of funding Democratic politicians and leftist causes through a network of nonprofits and super PACs. From 2017 to 2023‚ Hoffman donated roughly $43 million toward electing Democrats to the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate in the 2018‚ 2020‚ and 2022 election cycles‚ according to an analysis of Hoffman’s political spending by the conservative nonprofit Restoration of America. Hoffman also has ties to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein‚ who died while in prison in 2019. The LinkedIn co-founder has since apologized for his work with Epstein. Hoffman connected with Epstein in 2014 and says he met with him at the request of the former director of MIT’s Media Lab‚ Joi Ito‚ who was looking to raise money for the lab. From there‚ the relationship seemed to progress with multiple plans made for Hoffman to visit Epstein and ride on the Lolita Express plane. Hoffman said he visited Epstein’s infamous private island‚ Little St. James‚ only once and that his last contact with Epstein was in 2015‚ the same year that Hoffman invited Epstein to attend a dinner with Silicon Valley’s elite in Palo Alto. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Around the same time‚ Epstein was attempting to rehabilitate his image after he pleaded guilty to a felony charge of solicitation of prostitution involving a minor in 2008. Part of the plan to cleanse Epstein’s reputation involved getting close to prominent activists and philanthropists such as Bill and Melinda Gates. “It gnaws at me that‚ by lending my association‚ I helped his reputation and thus delayed justice for his survivors‚” Hoffman told The Wall Street Journal in an email. “While I relied on MIT’s endorsement‚ ultimately I made the mistake.” “I am sorry for my personal misjudgment‚” he said.

Suzanne Somers’ husband Alan Hamel said the late TV star was laid to rest in her boots because hiking to one of the mountains near their home in southern California was something they both loved doing together. Hamel told People magazine that his late wife “never really had boots designed for hiking on the rocks” until he ordered her a pair of “Timberland boots.” The “Threes Company” star died in October at age 76 following a two-decade-long battle with cancer. “[I] made my gift personal by drawing on them in a few words that represented our life to some degree and made them very personal to Suzanne‚” the late actress’ husband said. He said Somers had “every manolo blahnik ever made‚” but that it would “have been predictable but not very personal” for the late actress “wearing [manolo blahniks] for her final trip.” Suzanne Somers’ husband shares romantic reason why she was buried in hiking boots https://t.co/qkEoCmAj4v — Fox News (@FoxNews) December 6‚ 2023 “Every time she put on the Timberlands‚ she said‚ ‘I am wearing you‚ and my boots will keep me safe‚'” he added. Hamel said that he and Suzanne developed an “early morning routine” that required her special footwear. It “always included hiking to the top of one of the mountains‚ where there was a creek and a large flat rock in the middle of the creek‚” he added. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “By the time we got there‚ which was about a two-hour hike‚ the rock had been warmed by the morning sun‚” Hamel continued. “We would have our lunch on the rock and then take a one-hour nap on the rock and then hike back down and go to work.” Somers‘ publicist R. Couri Hay previously released a statement to the outlet that the star had “passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of October 15th. She survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for over 23 years.” “Suzanne was surrounded by her loving husband Alan [Hamel]‚ her son Bruce‚ and her immediate family‚” the statement added. “Her family was gathered to celebrate her 77th birthday on October 16th. Instead‚ they will celebrate her extraordinary life‚ and want to thank her millions of fans and followers who loved her dearly.” Related: Suzanne Somers’ Husband Reveals The Love Letter He Gave Her The Day Before She Died

Law enforcement officials in the state of Nevada thwarted an Islamic terrorist attack late last week involving a teenager who said he was targeting “zionists.” The foiled attack comes amid a spike in anti-Semitic attacks across the U.S. and the rest of the world following Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel on October 7. The 16-year-old said “he was planning an attack in Las Vegas in furtherance to support the Islamic State terrorist organization‚ also known as ISIS‚” the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said. “LVMPD SWAT served the warrant‚ and the suspect was taken into custody without incident.” During the search of the suspect’s home‚ police recovered “numerous items of concern to include terrorism propaganda and indications that the suspect intended to commit an act of terrorism‚ including instructions and components for building an explosive device.” The suspect‚ who was not named due to his age‚ was charged on multiple felony counts‚ including: Terroristic Threats; Attempt to Further an Act of Terrorism; Providing Material Support to a Terrorist‚ Terrorist Organization‚ and/or Act of Terrorism; and five counts of Possession of Explosive Components. During a press conference‚ officials showed a screenshot of the threat that the suspect posted to social media: “Peace be upon all brothers who see this. I am here to announce that I will be starting lone wolf operations in Las Vegas against the enemies of Allah. I ask you to make Dua for victory. I am a supporter of the Islamic State‚ and I will make sure the zionists in this city know it.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Police found an ISIS flag‚ ISIS patches‚ and an ISIS headband at the residence‚ as well as ISIS and Al-Qaeda propaganda. The suspect was described as a recent convert to Islam. Related: ‘Blinking Lights Everywhere’: FBI Director Warns Foreign Terrorists Trying To Exploit U.S. Southern Border

President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he is not the only person who can defeat former President Donald Trump — a comment that comes one day after the incumbent suggested that he might not be running if Trump was not also seeking a second term. A reporter asked Biden if he thinks there are any Democrats who could beat Trump other than himself‚ to which Biden quipped‚ “Probably 50 of them.” Pressed on whether that is his belief‚ Biden added‚ “No‚ I’m not the only one who can beat him‚ but I will beat him.” Biden didn’t answer a follow-up query on who he might have in mind. Reporter: “Do you think there are any Democrats who could beat Donald Trump other than you?” President Biden: “Probably 50 of them.” Reporter: “You do believe that there are?” President Biden: “I'm not the only one who can beat him‚ but I will beat him.” pic.twitter.com/01sRENfJzP — The Recount (@therecount) December 6‚ 2023 During the 2020 election cycle‚ when he was campaigning for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination‚ Biden cast himself as the candidate who could beat Trump “like a drum.” There were early signs that he might only limit himself to one term‚ though Biden is now engaged in a re-election campaign in which he has claimed “our democracy is at stake.” Still‚ Biden is facing low approval numbers and the president’s tendency to lose his train of thought while speaking‚ along with moments caught on camera where he has tripped or fallen over‚ have spurred concerns — even among Democrats — about Biden’s ability to lead effectively at the age of 81. Biden is the clear front-runner for his party’s nomination‚ facing challenges from long shot candidates such as Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) and self-help author Marianne Williamson‚ but polling on a 2020 rematch has moved lately in Trump’s favor. In addition‚ there has been speculation that a high-profile Democrat such a California Governor Gavin Newsom could jump into the race if Biden drops out while Vice President Kamala Harris is stuck with her own low approval ratings. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP At a fundraiser in Massachusetts on Tuesday‚ Biden told donors that he was “not sure” he would be running for re-election in 2024 if Trump wasn’t also competing. “But we cannot let him win‚” he added. That appears to be a shift from Biden’s stance as recently as April‚ when he said he thought that would still be running again even if Trump was not. Trump responded to Biden’s comments on Tuesday in a Fox News town hall that evening. “Well‚ I think somebody gave him a talking point. They thought that would sound good‚” Trump said. He also predicted that Biden will not be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in 2024. “I think he’s in bad shape physically‚” Trump said‚ adding later‚ “mentally I would say he is possibly equally as bad‚ and maybe even worse.” Polling shows Trump has a clear lead for the Republican presidential nomination. But Trump still faces his own challenges‚ such as a flurry of criminal and civil cases that are lining up trial dates throughout the 2024 election calendar. And he must still prevail over GOP rivals including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former United Nations Ambassador and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. And there are other factors at play‚ such as a third-party run by Robert Kennedy Jr.‚ who has received double-digit support in some polling examining a three-way matchup.

I know a little bit about the kinds of speech that are generally welcomed on campus. I’ve been banned from a few campuses‚ including DePaul University; I’ve spoken at more than a few campuses at which violence broke out over my speeches‚ including California State University at Los Angeles‚ Penn State‚ and University of California at Berkeley. I also know that were I a student at any of these universities – and if I said‚ as a student‚ what I routinely say as a speaker – I’d undoubtedly be dragged before the administration and hit with sanctions. I’d be responsible for “microaggressions” by saying things like “Western culture is superior” and “men are not women.” I’d be responsible for “harmful language” for stating that human beings ought to be judged not based on race‚ but on merit.  But apparently‚ at the top universities in America‚ all of those sensitivities disappear for one group in specific: Jews. Yesterday‚ House Republicans held a hearing at which the heads of major universities were grilled regarding the rise of anti-Semitism on their campuses. We’ve been talking about that spike in anti-Semitism for weeks‚ from threats of violence to near-riots‚ from tearing down hostage posters to openly Jew-hating slurs. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show Some of the students from these universities explained the situation on campus‚ like.

America’s elite colleges had an easy test the past two months: forcefully condemn antisemitism and speak out against vile hatred. Many of them have failed miserably. https://t.co/9MG0dEX3IY — Congressman Rudy Yakym (@RepRudyYakym) December 5‚ 2023 Now‚ imagine that black students had arrived in Congress to describe similar experiences: calls for genocide‚ celebration of terror attacks against black Americans‚ physical threats. Does anyone think the respective university presidents would have sat‚ grinning at the lawmakers quizzing them on their lack of action? But that’s precisely what happened yesterday. Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York questioned the presidents University of Pennsylvania‚ Harvard University‚ and MIT about genocidal language chanted on campus. Listen to their responses. 🚨🚨🚨Presidents of @Harvard @MIT and @Penn REFUSE to say whether “calling for the genocide of Jews” is bullying and harassment according to their codes of conduct. Even going so far to say it needs to turn to “action” first. As in committing genocide. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND… pic.twitter.com/hUY3SgoOOi — Rep. Elise Stefanik (@RepStefanik) December 5‚ 2023 Listen to that obfuscation. Listen to the spin. It is difficult to imagine that these icons of sensitivity and diversity‚ equity and inclusion would be nearly so sanguine about slurs against any other racial or ethnic minority in America. Simply put‚ they wouldn’t. One can make the case for free speech on campus – I can and I do – but one cannot pretend that universities protect students against harassment and then soft-pedal Holocaust-level rhetoric. These university presidents don’t like free speech at all. But they’re perfectly fine not only mouthing language they certainly don’t believe about free speech‚ but smiling while they do it. So‚ why are they so sanguine? There are two reasons. First‚ the Left – and university presidents are almost the Platonic ideal of intellectual Leftists – believes that Jews are not part of the intersectional coalition of the oppressed. By Leftist logic‚ Jews are part of the superstructure of power‚ since all success is merely a reflection of hierarchies of power‚ and Jews are disproportionately successful. Anti-Semitism is merely the ugliest guise for the oppressor/oppressed binary‚ but it isn’t the only one – just ask the newest white Americans‚ Asian Americans on university campuses‚ who have been deemed white because they score too high on their SATs‚ and thus are candidates for discrimination. Then there’s the second reason: the Left hates Israel. The Left hates Israel because‚ like American Jews‚ Israel is too successful in the region in which it is located. Israel‚ according to the Left‚ is a colonialist outpost of the West‚ and the West is evil because it too is successful – which means that it is exploitative and oppressive.  Hence the deep and passionate attempt by the Left to pretend that anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are unrelated. The Left doesn’t want to be perceived as openly anti-Semitic‚ but they understand that anti-Zionism can provide a heartening opportunity to oppose Jewish and Western flourishing.  Hence the Left’s rabid attachment to the idea that calls for Israel’s destruction are somehow not anti-Semitic‚ but actually a reflection of a more universalistic humanitarian creed.  Sure‚ that creed would actually materialize in the death of millions of Jews  and the dominance of radical Muslim terrorism. But that doesn’t matter. After all‚ Israel is the real problem‚ because the West is the real problem – and we know that’s true because the West and Israel are successful. According to the Left‚ radical Muslim regimes that impoverish their citizens aren’t worth one bit of attention. Israel‚ by contrast‚ ought to be destroyed.  That’s why yesterday‚ in a subtle bit of maneuvering‚ Harvard President Claudine Gay acknowledged Israel’s right to exist – but not as a Jewish state. Which is like saying that Ireland has a right to exist‚ but not as an Irish country. So‚ what ought to be done? Bill Ackman‚ CEO of Pershing Square and a major donor to Harvard‚ wrote that the college presidents “must all resign in disgrace. If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer‚ he or she would be toast within the hour. Why has anti-Semitism exploded on campus and around the world? Because of leaders like Presidents Gay‚ Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context. To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.” He’s right‚ of course. But that isn’t nearly sufficient. The universities are corrupt through and through. Their endorsement of DEI has been a curse to reason and decency. Their politics are vile and those politics also make the universities corrupt factories of moral depravity. Which means that first‚ every major donor to these universities should think about cutting funding. Of course‚ some of us were on this bandwagon years ago. I wrote a book titled Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America’s Youth when I was 19; the book came out when I was 20‚ in 2004. In it‚ I wrote that conservatives ought to “pull money from universities‚” but that such a tactic wouldn’t be nearly sufficient – that other sources‚ including radical Islamic regimes‚ would fill the gap. And that means that universities ought to be hit with another tactic: businesspeople must stop falling for the credentialing scam that universities represent. They ought to be hiring bright kids out of high school directly and giving them internships‚ or hiring from solid state schools.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP Finally‚ parents need to seriously think about not sending their kids to these universities. They are indoctrination mills for truly immoral garbage.  Want a case in point? How about young liberal Jews? A whole generation of young Jewish kids have been sent to university by their parents‚ who believed in the upwardly mobile American dream. There‚ these kids were turned against their parents and their roots. The New York Times reports that many young Jews – meaning‚ of course‚ people who were born Jewish but have nothing to do with actual Jewish practice or identity‚ as even the Times recognizes – are abandoning Israel in the name of Leftist ideology.  Here’s the Times:  Marc Kornblatt prepared uneasily last month for his daughter‚ Louisa‚ to arrive for 10 days with the family. Her homecomings once brought the comfort of movie nights and card games‚ but this year was different….He and his wife‚ Judith‚ had moved away from Madison‚ Wis.‚ to live in Tel Aviv‚ where they felt a real sense of belonging as Jews. Around the same time‚ their daughter‚ attending graduate school at the University of California‚ Berkeley‚ came to oppose the existence of Israel as a Jewish state. That daughter‚ unsurprisingly‚ “sometimes uses the pronouns they/them.” According to the Times‚ At Berkeley‚ she read Audre Lorde‚ Mariame Kaba‚ Ruth Wilson Gilmore and other Black feminist thinkers‚ who prompted her to consider ‘questions around power‚ privilege and whiteness.’ Ms. Kornblatt came to feel that her emotional ties to Jewish statehood undermined her vision for ‘collective liberation.’ Over the last year‚ she became increasingly involved in pro-Palestine activism‚ including through Jewish Voice for Peace‚ an anti-Zionist activist group‚ and the If Not Now movement. ‘I don’t think the state of Israel should ever have been established‚’ she said. ‘It’s based on this idea of Jewish supremacy. And I’m not on board with that.’ Actually‚ the concept of Israel is based on Jewish existence. But that’s really what Leftism opposes‚ for all the reasons listed. Universities are a disaster area. Parents should pull their kids unless those kids are prepared for the raging hell-storm of foolishness and immorality they are about to be taught.
