Failed presidential candidate Mike Pence announced he will not endorse Donald Trump for the 2024 election‚ citing differences in agendas.

An art museum in England has issued a warning to patrons that images of a British countryside in paintings can evoke what it labeled “dark‚” “nationalist feelings.” The Fitzwilliam Museum‚ owned by the University of Cambridge‚ decided to overhaul some of its displays‚ something that the museum’s director Luke Syson insisted is not being “woke.” “I would love to think that there’s a way of telling these larger‚ more inclusive histories that doesn’t feel as if it requires a push-back from those who try to suggest that any interest at all in [this work is] what would now be called ‘woke‚'” Syson told the Telegraph‚ as reported by Yahoo News. The paintings have been moved around into categories in an effort to make the museum “inclusive.” “Being inclusive and representative shouldn’t be controversial; it should be enriching‚” Syson said. One of the signs in the Nature Gallery‚ showing the work of artist John Constable’s paintings of English hills‚ noted that the artwork can stir feelings of “pride towards a homeland.” “The Fitzwilliam Museum has suggested that paintings of the British countryside evoke dark “nationalist feelings”. The museum‚ owned by the University of Cambridge‚ has undertaken an overhaul […] in a move that its director insisted was not “woke”.”https://t.co/1t09LcYqEP — Kristian Niemietz (@K_Niemietz) March 15‚ 2024 “Landscape paintings were also always entangled with national identity‚” the sign read. “The countryside was seen as a direct link to the past‚ and therefore a true reflection of the essence of a nation‚” it added. “Paintings showing rolling English hills or lush French fields reinforced loyalty and pride towards a homeland.” However‚ another part of the sign told visitors that “there is a darker side” to the images of the British countryside.  “The darker side of evoking this nationalist feeling is the implication that only those with a historical tie to the land have a right to belong‚” it added. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Constable is known for his famous landscapes of the Suffolk countryside‚ the National Gallery in London noted. Interestingly enough‚ as popular as his paintings are now‚ the London Gallery noted that “they were not particularly well received in England during his lifetime.” In another part of the museum‚ the sign for the new Identity Gallery told patrons that portraits of wealthy and uniformed sitters “became vital tools in reinforcing the social order of a white ruling class‚ leaving very little room for representations of people of color‚ the working classes or other marginalized people‚” the outlet noted. And that‚ “portraits were often entangled‚ in complex ways‚ with British imperialism and the institution of transatlantic slavery.” In the Migration and Movement gallery‚ signage noted that “while some people chose to leave their homes‚ global conflict‚ discrimination and European colonialism meant others fled or were exiled by force.”

Virginia’s largest school district will let students skip a presentation from a Holocaust survivor‚ saying the diverse district includes students with “different experiences.” “We understand that all students have different experiences. If you prefer to opt your child out from participating in this presentation‚ please email your child’s history teacher and they will be provided an alternate assignment. Please email your child’s history teacher with any questions that you may have‚” a letter from Cooper Middle School said. The letter referred to a scheduled presentation from a Holocaust survivor to seventh-graders‚ according to Adele Scalia‚ a mother of one of those middle schoolers. A Holocaust survivor is coming to speak to my son’s 7th grade History class on Monday. Wonderful. What’s less than wonderful‚ though‚ is the opt-out for this lesson because “We understand that all students have different experiences.”What does that even mean? pic.twitter.com/FEDldcu1hi — Adele Scalia (@AdeleScalia) March 14‚ 2024 Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) claimed it is advertising an opt-out for the benefit of Jews. “Each year‚ Cooper MS invites a Holocaust survivor to speak with students to affirm meaningful learning experiences that increase representation of all identity groups that are essential to student learning. Some Jewish students have previously expressed discomfort while engaging in dialogue around this visit. For that reason‚ school leadership makes every effort to partner with families of these students‚ who are 12 and 13 years old‚ to keep them informed. This opt-out allows the family the opportunity to make the best informed decision on behalf of their student‚” it said in a statement to The Daily Wire. Scalia said on social media that she is drawing “less charitable (but more likely) conclusions.” The Left has been pressured by Islamic extremists to demonize Israel following Hamas’ terrorist attacks on the Jewish nation on October 7‚ and liberals have used the same language of “colonization” and “oppression” that they apply to whites in the U.S. to Israelis. “If the email had said ‘We understand that some students are very sensitive and Mrs. X’s stories my be disturbing and traumatizing to them…’ I would have given them the benefit of the doubt. But it didn’t‚” Scalia wrote. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Fairfax County contains a hotbed of Muslim extremism. A mosque there‚ attended by several 9/11 hijackers as well as the Fort Hood terrorist‚ was presided over by the father of Abrar Omeish‚ who until this year was a member of the Fairfax County school board. Omeish voted against an FCPS resolution offering a moment of silence for victims of 9/11 and another for victims of October’s Hamas attacks on Israel‚ said the decisive World War II victor at Iwo Jima was “unfortunate‚” and gave a graduation speech encouraging students to “remember your jihad” and reject capitalism. Jennifer Katz‚ a founding member of United Against Anti-Semitism and a Jewish parent of two FCPS students‚ told The Daily Wire that hearing from a Holocaust survivor is supposed to be emotionally difficult‚ and is part of gaining a full understanding of the tragedy. “If a specific student is directly tied to the Holocaust or a Holocaust survivor‚ and the topic is too sensitive for them‚ then it can be handled on an individual basis. To make a blanket opt out option is misguided and wrong‚” she told The Daily Wire. “Given the hostile climate for many Jewish students nationwide‚ mandatory Holocaust education is more important than ever. The Holocaust is more than just learning that six million Jews were killed‚ it’s learning how this was able to happen in the first place‚” she said. The opt-out of the Holocaust lesson in FCPS‚ whose school board is entirely Democrat‚ is a reversal from the Left’s position on opt-outs on topics like transgenderism and anti-racism‚ which typically holds that hard truths are often uncomfortable‚ that it is the role of a school to instill certain values‚ and that on some issues‚ there are not two sides‚ but only good and evil. “When a parent chooses to censor a lesson over its content‚ their child loses the opportunity to engage with a different perspective. This robs the child of the benefits to critical thinking‚ social development‚ and civic engagement that come from grappling with diverse perspectives. In engaging with difference‚ we promote the type of informed thinking that forms the bedrock of democracy. In avoiding difference‚ we stifle it‚” an education researcher wrote in Time Magazine‚ layout out the dominant view of Democrat politicos‚ who have sought to prevent parents from opting their students out as schools have increasingly pushed Democrat politics under the guise of diversity and inclusion‚ social emotional learning‚ sed ed‚ and other topics. Muslim activists demand opt-out of LGBT lessons in Montgomery County‚ Maryland. / Celal Gunes/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images In Montgomery County‚ Maryland‚ which borders Fairfax‚ the Muslim group CAIR sued the all-Democrat school board over its refusal to let parents opt their students out of lessons pushing gay and lesbian topics. MCPS fought vigorously and successfully to deny opt-out rights. With some people claiming that the Holocaust did not even occur‚ the lesson is one of the last chances to hear from someone who survived it first-hand‚ as survivors are perishing of old age. Prior to the election of Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin‚ a video from Virginia’s state Department of Education‚ then presided over by Democrat Atif Qarni‚ sought to dampen the emotional resonance of 9/11‚ advising teachers not to call it “terrorism” and to focus on “anti-Muslim racism” while making sure not “to reproduce what’s understood as American exceptionalism.”
