When unveiling New York City’s new budget plan‚ Mayor Eric Adams announced that 4‚000 cops will be let go over the next two years. 

California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom mischaracterized a Tennessee city ordinance that passed a ban on indecent exposure‚ lewd behavior‚ and nudity in front of minors‚ claiming it had “banned being gay in public.” The ordinance Newsom was referring to was passed by the Murfreesboro City Council in June and amended in October to eliminate the term “homosexuality” from the code’s definition banning inappropriate sexual conduct. Yet Newsom tweeted‚ “A city in Tennessee has banned being gay in public. This is just the beginning. We have to call this out.” A city in Tennessee has banned being gay in public.

The Girl Scouts of the USA is set to offer a four-part “racial equity” training series to volunteers and parents focusing on “internalized racism” and “white supremacy culture.” The 111 year-old organization created to serve America’s young women appears to have adopted Critical Race Theory‚ the divisive ideology that has taken root in America’s schools and corporations. The four part series‚ set to begin on December 13‚ will start with a virtual lesson titled “Foundations in Racial Equity‚” before launching into “Foundations in Internalized Racism” a month later on January 16. “Understanding and Decentering White Supremacy Culture” will take place on February 5‚ and will be followed by the final lesson‚ titled “Navigating Change‚ Power and Equitable Decision Making‚” in late March. “These D.E.I. Racial Equity workshops are designed for participants to engage in building a learning community‚ developing shared language and analysis around diversity‚ inclusion‚ and equity‚ deeply interrogating race‚” a description of the sessions obtained by The Daily Wire reads. “Participants also interrogate structural racism and its historical construction while reflecting greatly on the way it manifests in our individual experiences‚ organizational dynamics‚ and systemic outcomes.”   The lessons will be held through GS Learn‚ a training platform for Girl Scout volunteers and family members of Girl Scouts. The Girls Scouts did not respond to a request for comment on the trainings. The decision to offer “racial equity” lessons mired in the dogmas of Critical Race Theory comes after the Girl Scouts announced earlier this year that scouts could earn an “LGBTQ+ Pride Month Fun Patch” if they attended a pride parade‚ memorized a poem written by an author who identifies as LGBTQ‚ or “read about the Stonewall uprising in 1969 and its importance to the LGBTQ+ community‚” writing a poem of their own about the event. The Girl Scouts have also published an “anti-racism guide” inspired by Critical Race Theory that claims color-blindness “perpetuates racism” and that young children show a “bias towards whiteness.” The guide instructs parents to talk to their children about racism‚ even implying that parents who refuse may be perpetuating unequal “justice‚ health‚ and education systems.” The upcoming racial equity training sessions will be held in conjunction with the Equity Paradigm Group‚ a North Carolina-based consulting firm that characterizes itself as “a group of diversity practitioners‚ adult learning facilitators‚ researchers‚ organizers‚ change agents‚ and passionate social justice activists who are dedicated to evolving the way in which organizations approach their work.” “We ground our work in the historical construction of race as a system of advantage to analyze ourselves‚ our actions‚ and to identify the underlying‚ implicit assumptions and biases that hold us back‚” the Equity Paradigm Group states. The consulting firm notes that their training sessions cover a variety of different topics‚ including “Strategies for applying a Intersectional Racial Equity Lens‚” “Defining and Pursuing Liberation‚” and “Naming &; De-centering White Dominant Culture.” The Boy Scouts of America have also pushed leftwing worldviews on race‚ announcing in 2021 that aspiring Eagle Scouts would have to earn the “Citizenship in Society” merit badge. The guide for merit badge counselor — the adults who walk scouts through the process of earning the badge — directs readers to resources that bash colorblindness‚ denigrate Christopher Columbus‚ and celebrate the LGBT movement.

A teacher at an Illinois high school sought to exclude students who allegedly opposed the school’s transgender bathroom policy from meetings of the school’s “Diversity” club. A Waterloo High School teacher and advisor to the school’s “Diversity‚” (Gay-Straight Alliance) Club complained about critics of the school’s bathroom policy and looked to place tampons in boy’s bathrooms‚ according to emails obtained by Parents Defending Education and shared with The Daily Wire.  As the Daily Wire previously reported‚ students who were uncomfortable sharing bathrooms with students of the opposite sex were investigated by Waterloo High School after choosing to use a private bathroom that was made available by the school.  “Usually‚ our meetings are open. Unfortunately‚ some of the main players who are in favor of keeping transgender students out of the bathrooms are students who have been coming to meetings under the guise of support for our queer kids‚” the Waterloo “Diversity” club advisor wrote in an email from March 2023 to a group of GSA Illinois advisors. “I’m meeting with our administration today‚ but I was hoping for some advice about how to handle the meeting tomorrow. Do any of you have experience with monitoring who can and who cannot attend meetings?” the sponsor added.  In a response to the email‚ a faculty member of the Champaign School District recommended setting guidelines that would allow the club to remove students or close meetings. “IF you want to keep the meeting closed‚ you should make that clear. I would say‚ don’t be sneaky. Just say to non-normal attenders‚ ‘We are continuing a project/working on an initiative/Planning for something with our current members only today. So sorry. If you are interested in other meetings‚ I’d be glad to give you a calendar of open meetings!’” the Champaign School District faculty member said. “Plan for a private time to follow up with your normal membership that isn’t a normal meeting. Maybe via note‚ phone call‚ e-mail‚ etc. or during lunch or before school. Whether the meeting goes well or poorly‚ those kids will want to vent about their needs to you. They will want to talk about where their minds were and what comes next.” According to the school’s website‚ the club “promotes and encourages diversity and acceptance within the WHS student/faculty population. The meetings are designed to initiate‚ drive‚ and inspire social change through education and community. Diversity Club welcomes LGBTQ+ students and allies alike.” Waterloo Community Unit School District #5 Superintendent Brian Charron told The Daily Wire that the district “only removes students from clubs when they violate school rules and expectations.” He also said that English teacher Maggie Partipilo‚ who previously was the sponsor of the school’s “Diversity” club and discussed getting girls access to chest binders without parental consent‚ is no longer the sponsor of the club. Students at the school had been accused of harassment after a long line formed outside the private bathroom one day‚ which  Charron said was coordinated.  CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE Other emails between the Waterloo GSA advisors show requests on how to comply with state law requiring that tampons be placed in male restrooms‚ how to handle students’ “preferred pronouns‚” and surveys that ask students what pronouns to use in front of their parents.  “Political activists masquerading as school staff continue to use their official‚ taxpayer funded positions to push their ideology on children‚ train them to keep information away from their parents‚ and alienate students who do not buy into their agenda. It is deeply problematic that we continue to see this disturbing trend across the country. Schools must get back to their core mission of teaching children instead of using school resources to indoctrinate the next generation of American students‚” Parents Defending Education Senior Advisor Michele Exner told The Daily Wire in a statement. 

John Rich said he’d give up his fame and career for the sake of his children if he had to choose. The 49-year-old country singer discussed his life priorities during a newly published interview with Fox News Digital. “Raising your kids is the most important job a man or a woman has if they have kids … Spending time with my two boys … teaching them about the world they’re looking at today‚ getting them ready for what they’re going to run into when they become young men‚ that is job No. 1‚” Rich told the outlet. “I would never sing another note if you said‚ ‘Give up your music‚ give up your kids.’ Are you kidding? Not even a question. … There’s nothing I would not do for my two kids‚” he continued. The “Lost In This Moment” singer has two sons with his wife Joan: Colt‚ 12‚ and Cash‚ 13. He also discussed how becoming a father totally changed his perspective on what’s important in life. “I spent … all of my … 20s and 30s‚ that’s all I cared about was just getting out‚ having hit songs‚ selling millions of records‚ doing big concerts. That was my focus‚ my American dream‚” Rich said. “But then my kids were born‚ and I’m like‚ ‘You know what? I’m still going to go do those things. But that is no longer my main focus.’” The multi-platinum country artist said he spends time at home doing normal parent things like attending sporting events and school functions. Rich said their home life is so mundane that his sons don’t always remember he’s a celebrity. “When I shift down into show mode and they come out on the road … they come see a concert‚ then their eyes bug out‚ they go‚ ‘Wow‚ we forgot. Dad can do that‚’” Rich told the outlet. “But as soon as the show is over … I downshift right back in to being their dad.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE Rich also explained the importance of his new single‚ “The Man‚” which was inspired by his late great-grandfather’s challenges as a veteran following the end of World War II. “I think the song is very important. I think it reminds people again of what true American greatness looks like‚” he said. “After World War II‚ that is arguably the strongest America has ever been in its history … probably the decade following World War II.”
