CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Naperville residents say community needs to call out racism when they see it; ‘We need to say, not in our town’ – SUZANNE BAKER (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats paint Naperville as being full of White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. How soon, if not already, will Democrats call for Naperville to banish individuals, organizations, and companies that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Racial incidents that occurred at Naperville Central High School, Buffalo Wild Wings and Bucky’s Mobil gas station this past year are not a surprise to people of color, Naperville City Councilman Benny White said Wednesday at a meeting held by Naperville Neighbors United. “These cases are not isolated. These kinds of things are happening,” White said. The problem, he said, is most go unreported.)
— District 203 parents, residents and administrators talk about race, racism and bias in effort to bring change: ‘We need to be better’
– SUZANNE BAKER (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats paint Naperville as being full of White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. How soon, if not already, will Democrats call for Naperville to banish individuals, organizations, and companies that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Naperville Central High School was charged with a hate crime this week after he allegedly posted an item on Craigslist featuring a black student’s photo with the words “Slave for sale (Naperville).” While not addressing that incident specifically, Bridges told the audience gathered at the Naperville Municipal Center racism has no place in District 203 schools and racial slurs are “unacceptable anytime and anyplace.” . . . The district has seen an uptick in the number of reports of racial slurs in the junior high and high schools, Leaks said. . .Marla Baker said her children have experienced so much racial discrimination they don’t want to go to school some days because they no longer trust teachers or administrators to do anything about it.)

— Amid regulation pressures for Big Tech, transparency the least-bad option – Phil Kerpen (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents either a) want big tech’s anti-conservatism or b) fail/refuse to see big tech’s anti-conservatism.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20191122/amid-regulation-pressures-for-big-tech-transparency-the-least-bad-option
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cruz and Hawley understand something too many professional analysts on the right ignore at their peril — the conservative base is nearing a boiling point in its hatred of Big Tech and sees this as a central front in the culture war, not a venue for economic policy subject to ideological constraints. How, in this context, can we chart a path forward that can satisfy this base anger without betraying free-market principles?)

EVANSTON PATCH
— City Urged To Reconsider Firing Of Community Services Manager Terminated over allegations he improperly paid parking tickets with a city credit card, Kevin Brown and his supporters suspect retaliation. – Jonah Meadows (DIERSEN: The more that you speak out against something, the harder that those who oppose what you say will retaliate against you. I speak out against the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, illegal drugs, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I should write a book about past and present leaders of the following who oppose my speaking out against the aforesaid: Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on how the aforesaid have retaliated against me.) 
https://patch.com/illinois/evanston/city-urged-reconsider-firing-community-services-manager
(FROM THE ARTICLE: City Clerk Devon Reid spoke during public comment after the mayor denied his request to address the public from the dais. Instead of addressing aldermen, he picked up the microphone and turned toward the overflow crowd. “The decision that has been made regarding Kevin Brown doesn’t reflect our principals, nor does it reflect our rules, and that is the concern that I have,” Reid said. “We have seen a pattern, in this city, of racial inequity. We’ve seen a pattern of folks who speak out about racism and call out the city being systemically, systematically fired and terminated, and I think we have a duty to address this.”)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-discussing-potential-changes-to-political-ad-policy-11574352887
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook Inc. is discussing increasing the minimum number of people who can be targeted in political ads on its platform from 100 to a few thousand, according to people familiar with the matter. The potential move is part of an effort to make it less easy for advertisers to microtarget, which has been criticized as enabling political actors to single out groups for misleading or false ads that aren’t seen by the broader public. Alphabet Inc. ’s Google said on Wednesday that advertisers would no longer be able to target political messages based on users’ interests inferred from their browsing or search histories. And last month, Twitter Inc. said it would stop accepting most political ads.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jewish groups, too, are calling for Miller’s resignation, which is significant because after the Southern Poverty Law Center reported on the emails last week, White House officials said that criticism of Miller, who is Jewish, amounted to anti-Semitism. “Mr. Miller condemns racism and bigotry in all forms, while those defaming him are trying to deny his Jewish identity which is a pernicious form of anti-Semitism and this outrageous smear dishonors the memories of Jewish victims of anti-Semitic persecution across the globe,” White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley told Yahoo News)
