A high school in a Chicago is implementing a race-based grading system “to adjust classroom grading scales to account for skin color or ethnicity of its students.”
The move is necessary, advocates say, because “traditional grading practices perpetuate inequities,” a slide used in a presentation said.

The acquittal is no surprise. This is a DC jury, after all. In the Roger Stone case, for example, we documented how a juror lied to get on the panel. (That judge didn’t care.) Making matters worse, the Sussmann judge wrongly allowed for a woman to remain on the jury, despite the fact that her daughter and Sussmann’s are on the same high school crew team. One can’t help but think that juror had her own daughter’s interests in mind – the cohesion of the crew team – when she reached a decision.
On the facts, there was more than sufficient evidence to prove Sussmann’s guilt.

The federal ethics commissioner has started an investigation into Liberal trade minister Mary Ng after it was discovered that her office awarded a contract to a firm co-founded by a Liberal strategist and friend.
On Monday, Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion announced that an investigation had been opened into Liberal International Trade Minister Mary Ng.
The decision came after Conservative MP James Bezan wrote to the commissioner alleging that Minister Ng had broken the rules by awarding a $17,000 media training contract to Pomp & Circumstance, a company co-founded and led by her friend Amanda Alvaro.

As Hunter Biden waits for the outcome of the Delaware criminal federal investigation into his taxes and overseas business dealings to be made public, new allies are attempting to flip the script on the scandal of his infamous laptop.
Kevin Morris, the generous Los Angeles entertainment lawyer who loaned Hunter more than $2 million to pay off his tax debts, has launched a sensational public-relations campaign to discredit the laptop and divert attention from its damning revelations of the Biden family’s international influence-peddling scheme.
Morris, 58, has assembled a team of 30 lawyers and investigators to help his friend Hunter, 52, “blunt the impact” of the Delaware probe, according to CBS News.
But leaks from inside the Morris camp, and a hand-scrawled mind map he has shared with confidants, show a chaotic disinformation project attempting to rewrite the story of the laptop’s origins.
The counternarrative Morris is mounting on Hunter’s behalf has nothing to do with the damning contents of the laptop, which have been repeatedly verified as authentic by multiple media organizations since The Post broke the story in October 2020.
Instead, Hunter’s team is attempting to sow confusion about how the laptop became public, by denying that he abandoned his laptop in John Paul Mac Isaac’s Delaware repair shop on April 12, 2019, and claiming his private information was somehow stolen, “hacked” or “cloned.”
But the chain of custody of that laptop has been well established by The Post.

Deviating from its focus on public health emergencies, the annual assembly of the UN’s World Health Organization held a session today singling out Israel, which was condemned in speeches by two dozen countries including Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Turkey, Lebanon and Cuba, for allegedly violating the health rights of Palestinians and the Druze population in the Golan Heights.
By a vote of 77 to 14, with 36 abstentions, the WHO assembly adopted a resolution submitted by Syria—elected by consensus last year to the WHO Executive Board—and the Palestinians, requiring the WHO to hold the same debate at next year’s assembly, and to prepare another report on the “Health conditions in the occupied Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan.”

China was elected to the World Health Organization’s (W.H.O.) executive board on Friday, even though the Chinese gave false information to W.H.O. during the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, obstructed investigations into the origin of the coronavirus, and persecuted Chinese doctors who tried to raise early warnings about the plague that would ravage the world.

For eight years, Chinese property developer Chen Runkai used hundreds of wire transfers to move tens of millions of dollars into accounts at Canadian banks –– a technique experts say is a hallmark of money laundering.
Yet Canada’s biggest banks –– including the Royal Bank of Canada, CIBC, TD and the Bank of Montreal –– all accepted the money without flagging it to the country’s financial regulator.
Only one financial institution acted: The Vancouver arm of Switzerland’s UBS bank filed a suspicious activity report in 2012 after noting massive flows of unexplained money into a Chen family account.
“All kinds of alarm bells should have gone off,” said Garry Clement, a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police superintendent focused on proceeds of crime.
“It almost gives the impression they’re asleep at the switch… It just shows that the system is broken,” added Clement, who is now chief of anti-money laundering for VersaBank.
At a time when governments are wrestling with the impacts of illicit foreign funds entering overheated real estate markets in Vancouver and Toronto, the unquestioned flow of Chen’s money has raised concerns about the due diligence and rigor employed by Canadian banks when it comes to anti-money laundering detection and reporting.
The Toronto Star and OCCRP reached out to banks that received Chen’s funds and asked why the money flows did not trigger concerns or formal reports to authorities. The banks each said they could not comment on individual customers. They added that they take their anti-money laundering obligations seriously, have implemented controls, and comply with all regulations.
The story of Chen –– how he moved to Canada from China in 2006 with modest means, then accumulated tens of millions of dollars and luxury homes in Vancouver, while facing charges in his home country for alleged bribery –– was detailed in a recent investigation.
The mysterious source of Chen’s conspicuous wealth, and its movement to Vancouver where he now lives with his family, has been the subject of an investigation by Canada’s financial intelligence unit, as well as a probe by a British Columbia commission studying the impact of money laundering in that province.
In 2012, the year Chen’s financial transactions were first flagged by UBS, his daughter bought a mansion with a tennis court and swimming pool near the beach in Vancouver for 14.7 million Canadian dollars. She paid for it without a mortgage, while listing her occupation as “student.” Chen bought a CA$15.6 million mansion on the same street in 2016.

A Toronto doctor is facing no professional discipline after admitting to giving the Covid-19 vaccine to at least 500 kids as young as six months old, despite the shot not being approved for children under the age of five.
According to the Toronto Star, Dr. Christopher Sun from Weston-Mount Dennis stands by his decision and claims he did it “to protect children.”
“I put my neck on the line and did what I wanted to get done, which was to protect children,” Sun told the outlet. “These are worried parents in time of a health crisis and I think it’s wrong to turn away people who know what they are getting into.”

There is no doubt that achievement gaps exist between demographics in Virginia schools and all schools nationwide. But those gaps will not be closed by watering down tests to cover up their existence. The only way to close achievement gaps is to assess where they exist through testing and then aggressively help those students that need it.

BALTIMORE — Chris Hardy remembers the moment he realized that dogs could change lives. But he has to take a deep breath and work to hold back tears to tell the story.
Hardy, a dog trainer for the U.S. Defense Department in Afghanistan in 2006, was making a routine trip to a field hospital to pick up supplies, along with his dog, Dirk. A nurse was holding a badly injured baby; the infant was burned on her face, neck and body. She suddenly reached out to pet Dirk, her face lighting up with a smile.
Hardy was told later that until that moment, the child had stoically endured treatment, never showing emotion.
Her interaction with Dirk in that brief moment prompted a new connection in her life — and in Hardy’s. He and Dirk returned several times and were asked by hospital personnel if they could start visiting some of their military patients. The experiences “really got me,” he said.
Hardy, an Eastern Shore native who served 11 years in the 82nd Airborne Division, returned home from that and several other deployments with powerful memories and, unfortunately, post-traumatic stress disorder. Remembering the healing power of Dirk, he decided to help fellow injured vets by training service dogs for them.

Google and YouTube often give Chinese state propaganda outlets high rankings in searches on hot-button political issues — including denials of the abuse of Muslims in Xinjiang and conspiracy theories that the coronavirus originated in a US military lab, according to a new study.
Chinese state sources also rank highly on Microsoft Bing searches about controversial issues, according to the report published Friday by the Brookings Institute and the Alliance for Securing Democracy.

Concerns for privacy and increased calls for border safety clashed in Parliament on March 31st when an unusual bill was proposed in the Canadian Senate. S-7, which was drawn up to address concerns about the transfer of digital materials like child pornography, would allow border law enforcement to search travelers’ electronic devices and look through their emails, photos, and text messages, if needed.
So when is it needed? Therein lies the controversial question. The bill seemingly creates a new standard for when such a search may be warranted — when law enforcement determines there are “reasonable general concerns” at play. The concern for privacy advocates is the bill makes no attempt to explain what that standard looks like in practice.
Without a clear and defining set of instructions on when the standard should be applied, S-7 could easily become a “sniff test” kind of law.

Police in Northern Virginia are investigating after a middle school librarian allegedly defended a pro-prostitution book by saying it belonged in the library because many of the school’s 11- to 13-year old students are sex workers, The Daily Wire has learned.
A shocked Loudoun County teacher went to the police after the librarian, Stefany Guido, allegedly made the comment to her. The teacher had asked Guido about a book a parent had flagged on Twitter called “Seeing Gender,” which included a chapter titled “‘Sex Work’ Is Not a Bad Term.” The Daily Wire is withholding the name of the teacher, who as a “mandatory reporter” felt compelled to tell police that students in her charge could be in danger.

Peter Beinart favors eliminating Israel, says it’s “unethical” for former or future government officials to work for a defense contractor or a think tank funded by one, and insists “there was no good reason to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a foreign terrorist organization.”
The New York Times, for its part, has gone beyond merely publishing all these extreme views under Beinart’s byline on its opinion pages — it’s now regularly turning to Beinart as an expert analyst about the American Jewish community in the paper’s news columns.

Russia and China on May 26 vetoed a vote pushed by the United States to strengthen sanctions on North Korea, dividing the United Nations Security Council for the first time since 2006.
The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 13–2 and followed a string of ballistic missile launches by Pyongyang.
To be adopted by the UN Security Council, a resolution needs nine “yes” votes and no vetoes by the permanent members of Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom, or the United States.

Last week, in the trial of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, prosecutor Andrew DeFilippis asked ex-campaign manager Robby Mook about the decision to share with a reporter a bogus story about Donald Trump and Russia’s Alfa Bank. Mook answered by giving up his onetime boss. “I discussed it with Hillary,” he said, describing his pitch to the candidate: “Hey, you know, we have this, and we want to share it with a reporter… She agreed to that.”
In a country with a functioning media system, this would have been a huge story. Obviously this isn’t Watergate, Hillary Clinton was never president, and Sussmann’s trial doesn’t equate to prosecutions of people like Chuck Colson or Gordon Liddy. But as we’ve slowly been learning for years, a massive fraud was perpetrated on the public with Russiagate, and Mook’s testimony added a substantial piece of the picture, implicating one of the country’s most prominent politicians in one of the more ambitious disinformation campaigns we’ve seen.
There are two reasons the Clinton story isn’t a bigger one in the public consciousness. One is admitting the enormity of what took place would require system-wide admissions by the FBI, the CIA, and, as Matt Orfalea’s damning video above shows, virtually every major news media organization in America.
More importantly, there’s no term for the offense Democrats committed in 2016, though it was similar to Watergate. Instead of a “third-rate burglary” and a bug, Democrats sent schlock research to the FBI, who in turn lied to the secret FISA court and obtained “legal” surveillance authority over former Trump aide Carter Page (which opened doors to searches of everyone connected to Page). Worse, instead of petty “ratfucking” like Donald Segretti’s “Canuck letter,” the Clinton campaign created and fueled a successful, years-long campaign of official harassment and media fraud. They innovated an extraordinary trick, using government connections and press to generate real criminal and counterintelligence investigations of political enemies, mostly all based on what we now know to be self-generated nonsense.

A doctor has been struck off the medical register after it was found that he had prescribed puberty blockers to a nine-year-old after a ten-minute Skype session.
Dr. Michael Webberley has had his name scrubbed from the medical register after it was found that his treatment of 24 patients constituted a “catalogue of failings”.
One of these patients was a nine-year-old who supposedly wanted to be a boy, with Webberley proscribing the child puberty blockers after a Skype consultation that lasted only ten minutes.
According to a report by The Telegraph, Webberley ran the extremely controversial “GenderGP” online clinic, which used legal loopholes to get EU doctors to proscribe British children with sex-change drugs, with seven of the 24 patients reviewed by a tribunal being related to the service.
A consultant gastroenterologist, the tribunal found that Webberley has acted “outside the limits of his expertise” in his actions, lacking the necessary qualifications in general practice, transgender medicine or paediatrics.
The decision to strike Webberley off the register came in the light of the “absence of any expression of regret and/or remorse, insight and/or remediation” from the man, with the tribunal ruling him “liable in the future to put patients at risk, bring the medical profession into disrepute, breach fundamental tenets of the profession and act dishonestly”.
Meanwhile, Webberley’s wife who ran the clinic alongside him, Dr Helen Webberley, has meanwhile received an interim suspension amid another ongoing tribunal, having been previously fined for running an unlicensed transgender clinic from her home.
