For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed. The ABC presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is looming, so naturally the media’s focus is on what could happen when the two finally face off for all the marbles. On ABC’s “This Week,” both Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) and former Governor Chris Christie (R-N.J.) were asked to weigh in on how Trump was likely to prepare for a debate against Harris. Sanders began with a jab at Harris’ persistent avoidance of the press since she vaulted to the top of the Democratic Party’s 2024 ticket, pointing out the fact that the American people knew Trump much better than they knew Harris because she has yet to answer any real policy questions. “It’s so rare that we hear from her, that we hear her take questions or that we know anything that she actually stands for,” she said, arguing that the debate was more of a “must-win” for Harris than it was for Trump.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders tells @JonKarl the debate Tuesday is “more important” for Kamala Harris than Donald Trump. “It’s so rare that we hear from her, that we hear her take questions or that we know anything that she actually stands for.” https://t.co/QL4o4hLmii pic.twitter.com/9TiOTwGyIG — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) September 8, 2024 Sanders, who previously served as Trump’s White House Press Secretary, went on to say that he was preparing for a hostile debate environment every day by taking questions from an adversarial press and doing interviews while Harris hid behind campaign aides who quietly “leaked” her flip-flops to friendly media outlets. “He’ll go in game time ready just as he does for every interview, every rally that he does. This is not something that is a heavy lift for him,” she said. “Every day is debate prep for Donald Trump.” Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tells @JonKarl that “every day is debate prep for Donald Trump.” “He’ll go in game time ready just as he does for every interview, every rally that he does.

Former NJ Gov. Chris Christie, who helped prep Donald Trump for previous debates in 2016 and 2020, says the former president doesn’t think he needs to prepare for his face-off with Vice Pres. Kamala Harris. “He’s just going to go in there and wing it.” https://t.co/x1yAOvZCfY pic.twitter.com/2iyq5IxykB — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) September 8, 2024 Karl also brought in Martha Raddatz, who moderated a debate between Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016, to talk about her impressions – and she suggested that Trump’s tendency to debate the moderators as well as his opponents could prove a “challenge.” “He would go after the moderators too. I mean, specifically, try to debate us, and that was a challenge,” she explained. .@MarthaRaddatz reflects on moderating Donald Trump’s debate with Hillary Clinton in 2016: “He would go after the moderators too.

Mayk joined a panel discussion on “Meet the Press,” where she told host Kristen Welker that at least one voter had put it to her this way: “I think I know their ideas. I want to know their policies.” Welker also pointed out the fact that despite Harris being a sitting senator throughout Trump’s entire first term as president, Tuesday’s debate will be there first time the two meet in person.

When this Wisconsin fourth-grader was presented with a highly offensive question about slavery in his homework assignment, he gave the perfect reply. However, his mom was extremely upset that this prompt had come up at all. She was completely right to speak out! Thanks to her, the school apologized and promised to make some changes. Trameka Brown-Berry shared a photo of her son’s history homework on Facebook in 2018, along with the boy’s brilliant answer to an inappropriate question about slavery. This assignment prompted students to provide three “good” and “bad” reasons for the human rights violation. “Does anyone else find my 4th grader’s homework offensive?” said the mom in her social media caption. Trameka’s son, Jerome, was not about to defend slavery. So, he answered the question in the best way he could. His response was excellent. “I feel there is no good reason for slavery,” he wrote. “That’s why I did not write.” He added, “I am proud to be Black because we are strong and brave.” This question is both offensive and unproductive. Obviously, it’s important for young kids to learn American history, even the ugly parts. However, encouraging them to make a case for slavery, even in theory, isn’t teaching them anything positive. According to ABC7, Trameka explained that her son’s homework question was intended to help children understand why slavery was considered acceptable at the time. However, that’s not how it was worded at all. This type of question makes it sound like there are actually “good” reasons for some people to be kept as slaves. In response to Trameka’s complaint about the homework question, Our Redeemer Lutheran School apologized for their “lack of sensitivity.” At this mom’s request, they promised to apologize to all the other students and parents involved, too. They would also invest in cultural diversity training for their employees. Unfortunately, other learning institutions have seen this prompt come up in their curriculum. CNN reported that a charter school in Texas assigned a very similar homework question on slavery to their eighth-grade students. Thankfully, outraged parents spoke out about the issue in this case, too. As a result, the school apologized and decided to reevaluate the history book in their program that was in use at the time. It can be scary to stand up for yourself when it comes to homework assigned by a teacher. Trameka Brown-Berry must be truly proud of her son for refusing to defend slavery. She should be pretty proud of herself, too, for getting the school to address the problem! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
