Cracker Barrel Dumps CEO After Woke Logo Fiasco
Topic: Political Correctness

Shares of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store have yet to fully recover from outgoing CEO Julie Masino's brief "woke" rebranding effort last year. The family-dining chain quickly restored its iconic "Old Country Store" logo and nostalgic aesthetic. Still, the failed overhaul now appears to have cost Masino her job after exposing a serious failure of brand stewardship.

Professor Hides White Font in Midterm

Catches Students Using AI in the Stupidest Way Possible. "Thirty-two of my 35 students between two classes failed a portion of their midterm because they all used AI to generate their entire response." The hidden prompt told the AI to sneak in random digressions about Madagascar. The midterm, by the way, was about the Industrial Revolution. And apparently none of the indolent cheats put in the bare modicum of effort required to at least check if what the AI wrote made any sense at all. All they did was copy-paste the midterm instructions into a chatbot, then copy-paste the chatbot’s spiel back into the answer window.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission rescinds its requirement that employers report their workforces’ demographic makeup. Every year, going back to the latter half of the 1960s, many American employers—including private companies with at least 100 workers—have had to report the racial and sexual makeup of their workforces to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). That requirement may soon come to an end, thanks to a 2–1 vote from the EEOC and a new proposed rule.

Kansas agrees to halt in-state tuition law for illegal immigrants in DOJ settlement
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Campus Reform
The Justice Department says Kansas violated federal law by giving illegal immigrants tuition and scholarship benefits unavailable to some U.S. citizens. The DOJ announced June 24 that it filed a lawsuit against Kansas in federal court and simultaneously submitted a proposed consent decree with the state that would permanently prevent enforcement of the challenged laws. If approved by the court, the agreement would resolve the federal government’s claims that Kansas unlawfully discriminated against U.S. citizens by offering reduced tuition rates and scholarship opportunities to illegal immigrants.

Vehicle-Ramming Threat Now The Norm. All family events must now be protected from a three-and-a-half-tonne truck travelling at 30 mph. A family summer beach event in the UK city of Nottingham now sits behind portable anti-ram steel barrier, the latest admission that open borders have turned public spaces into soft targets. Local authorities across Britain are quietly installing more of what critics now call "diversity barriers" - heavy portable steel devices designed to stop vehicles being driven into crowds.

The executive order said temporary signs would “direct visitors to locations and resources for accurate information regarding America’s history.” President Donald Trump ordered signs outside the National Museum of American History warning visitors that American historical accounts inside aren’t accurate, in his telling. Visitors walking into the Smithsonian Institution museum in Washington, D.C., could see temporary signage or exhibits alerting them of the contents inside the space, according to the July 24 executive order, which directs the Interior Department to place the warnings.

Gender & Racial Pay Gaps

U.S. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D–TX) claims that “Black women are STILL only making 65 cents on the dollar” and don’t get the “same pay” for the “same work” as other people. IN FACT, Americans of all genders and races have been receiving equal pay for equal work for decades, and pay gaps blamed on sexism and racism are actually due to factors like education, productivity, work hours, and fringe benefits. Here are the specifics...

The ‘Patriarchy’ is Long Gone, But the Matriarchy is Alive and Well
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: End to DV
Social narratives can be powerful tools for change. One of the most widespread narratives has been the purported existence of a “patriarchy” that systematically oppresses women. For years, feminists have invoked this framework to explain gender disparities. A careful examination of the facts, however, reveals a different story. Claims such as the “gender wage gap,” for example, largely dissolve when accounting for the facts that men work longer hours, in more dangerous occupations, and with different qualifications. Meanwhile, on a broad range of social indicators, men are lagging behind women to a striking degree (1). No serious observer can plausibly claim that a “patriarchy” continues to dominate modern Western societies.

They Are Not Rape Gangs but Something Much Worse
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: Lew Rockwell
Jordan Peterson reminds us of the euphemisms such as “grooming” that white liberals use to avoid reality. What is really going on is black domination over white people via sexual conquest in order to prove the cultural depravity of the white society that is too indoctrinated against itself to be able to protect its women and children. Speaking of the 250,000 raped ethnic British girls covered up for 30 years by white governments paralyzed from acting by belief in their white racism, Peterson points out that the rapes were not for sexual pleasure of the rapists, but were hate crimes racially and religiously motivated to destroy British cultural norms, while white authorities anxious to protect “community relations” and fearful of being called racist for prosecuting a black refused to act.

Left-Wing Rushes To Defend Islamic Migrants After Attack On Berlin Pride Parade

Is the multicultural agenda so vital to the political left that they're willing to sacrifice their own people to protect it...? Is "suicidal empathy" the real cause of the western world's immigration crisis? Or, is the political left completely devoid of empathy? Is the multicultural agenda so important to them that they're willing to sacrifice their own people to protect it? The problem of "intersectionality" and engineered mass immigration is that progressive ideals are not shared or respected by most cultures. Leftists envision a sweeping coalition of socialist and minority groups joining forces to destroy the "evil colonial west", but they seem to be ignoring the fact that foreign elements entering Europe and the US hate liberals as much as they hate conservatives.

College courses raise concerns woke ideology will continue in Big Sports
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Just the News
DEI practices, Title IX violations in the sports industry can be traced to woke values injected in college curriculum. College courses and degree-seeking programs – which include such classes as "Diversity and Inclusion in Sports" – are raising concerns about whether higher education will produce a next generation of trained professionals like broadcast journalists and athletic directors who will continue to advocate for such issues as transgender athletes in girls' sport. Among the schools with such programs are San Jose State University. The California school's Department of Kinesiology's Sports Studies program says it approaches sport "from a critical perspective that addresses issues of social identity, power, and agency,” and “trains students to “identify and analyze ways that sport and exercise can produce, reproduce, or contest social inequities to potentially affect positive social change.”

“No other institution in America has caused as much damage as the teachers unions over the last 50 years,” Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway said on Outnumbered. “Part of it is that they are so politically biased.

When Trump cracked a Dylan Mulvaney joke at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, he must have known what would ensue. Dylan Mulvaney burst onto the national scene in 2022 with his "Journey to Girlhood" video series, which culminated in his becoming a full-fledged "trans woman." Democrats assured us Mulvaney was the real thing: a beautiful woman. That's why it's so funny to see them react hysterically to a joke Trump cracked at the White House Correspondents' Dinner comparing CNN's Kaitlan Collins to Dylan Mulvaney.

NYT Opinion: 'Land Acknowledgements Are Infuriating'
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Hot Air
Yes, yes they are. But in this case the author is a Native American woman coming from a slightly different perspective. She recounts a land acknowledgement given at a church in upstate New York....In my view, land acknowledgements are a useless waste of time unless the people making them are seriously thinking about giving the land back. And does that ever happen? Not for the most part. The author of this piece sort of agrees, though her view is that Native Americans didn't "own" the land in the first place.
