They passed the state Senate in the same fashion earlier in the day. “We are not going to let Republicans gridlock the process, solely for political gains,” state House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch said minutes before the vote. “It’s not going to happen. Not here. Period.” – Rachel Hinton and Andrew Sullender

— A Cook County commissioner’s compelling new challenge to renaming Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples Day – ERIC ZORN
https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/eric-zorn/ct-column-columbus-day-indigenous-peoples-slavery-moore-zorn-20210528-gpxn5meiu5awdll3wlmsyo5xgq-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Slavery was part of the daily culture of the tribal nations,” said Moore’s statement, “with the (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Choctaw and Seminole tribes) entering into treaties with the Confederate States of America to ensure slavery continued.” Paul Chaat Smith, a Comanche and the associate curator of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, said in a 2018 speech that these five tribes “were deeply committed to slavery, established their own racialized Black codes, immediately reestablished slavery when they arrived in Indian territory, rebuilt their nations with slave labor, crushed slave rebellions and enthusiastically sided with the Confederacy in the Civil War.” Smith referred to this truth as the “mangy, snarling dog standing between you and a crowd-pleasing narrative,” according to coverage of his speech in Smithsonian magazine. “Indians bought, sold, owned and exploited black people’s labor and reproduction for economic and social gain,” wrote University of Massachusetts at Amherst historian Barbara Krauthamer in her book “Black Slaves, Indian Masters.” “Because the Indian nations existed as autonomous political entities, Union victory did not automatically liberate black people from bondage,” Krauthamer wrote. “Only in the course of negotiating a new treaty with the United States during the spring of 1866 did Choctaw and Chickasaw leaders grudgingly consent to acknowledge slavery’s demise.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-lori-lightfoot-interview-policy-lawsuit-20210527-gntljfjl2bbflit4gpghqz2g7a-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A conservative media outlet and one of its white reporters sued Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday, alleging their free speech and civil rights were violated last week when she only granted interviews marking her two-year anniversary in office to reporters of color. Thomas Catenacci, and the Daily Caller News Foundation for which he is a national reporter, filed a lawsuit in federal court in Illinois a week after Lightfoot’s decision led to conservative backlash as well as a renewed debate about diversity in the media. “Preventing journalists from doing our jobs in such a blatantly discriminatory way is wrong and does a disservice to our readers who come from all backgrounds,” Catenacci wrote in a statement. “I look forward to holding the mayor accountable.” Catenacci is being represented by the Chicago-based Svenson Law Offices as well as the conservative group Judicial Watch.)

(DIERSEN: Glanton must love what the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office did to promote diversity during the 1980s and 1990s. They used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, budget cuts, and early outs to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

I failed to meet that crucial promotion deadline. I did not start working for IRS until I was 22. I made GS-9 when I was 23, GS-11 when I was 24, and GS-12 when I was 25. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38.)

— Time to pass news literacy bill – Editorial
(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrat teachers promote the Democrat Party platform, that is, ever-increasingly, they make their students anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media acts as an arm of the Democrat Party. Most commonly, it promotes dependency on government, dependency on charity, BLM, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210522/editorial-time-to-pass-news-literacy-bill
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An informed citizenry is the heart of a democracy. Without it, we the people — as the architects of our government — are subject to manipulation, unsound decisions, poor choices. News literacy matters. And particularly in this era of rumor, social media lies and falsehoods, algorithmic digital marketing, Orwellian politics and yes, news media bias, it has become central. . .Yes, news literacy matters, as we have said in this space in the past. So we’re disappointed that legislation in Springfield to require a news literacy curriculum in our schools has become another partisan issue. We do not understand that. We do not understand why Republicans would oppose citizenship education. Our schools are meant to prepare our kids for the adult world. In a democracy, what preparation is more important?)
