https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/how-to-defeat-the-activist-media/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A workable solution, therefore, to the problem of the activist media must necessarily be one in which postmodern theory is jettisoned in favour of a new approach. One which abandons the neo-Marxist oppressor/oppressed paradigm, and the ‘us v them’ mentality it fosters. One which rejects the denial of objective truths to which we can all hold. Truth, beauty, reason all exist, and we must not be afraid to say so.)

— OCTOBER 24, 2017 FLASHBACK: Who Shares and Comments on News?: A Cross-National Comparative Analysis of Online and Social Media Participation – Antonis Kalogeropoulos, Samuel Negredo, Ike Picone, Rasmus Kleis Nielsen
(DIERSEN: GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters fill a tremendous void in Illinois, DuPage County, and Milton Township. It would be great if the Illinois Republican Party would regularly share far more government and political news and commentary articles that are of statewide interest. It would be great if the DuPage County Republican Central Committee would regularly share far more government and political news and commentary articles that are of countywide interest. It would be great if the Milton Township Republican Organization would regularly share far more government and political news and commentary articles that are of township-wide interest.)
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2056305117735754
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Based on data from the 2016 Reuters Institute Digital News Report, and controlling for a range of factors, we find that (1) people who use social media for news and a high number of different social media platforms are more likely to also engage more actively with news outside social media by commenting on news sites and sharing news via email, (2) political partisans on both sides are more likely to engage in sharing and commenting particularly on news stories in social media, and (3) people with high interest in hard news are more likely to comment on news on both news sites and social media and share stores via social media (and people with high interest in any kind of news [hard or soft] are more likely to share stories via email).)

https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/564588-crts-threat-to-democrats
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Buried in 2020’s tumult was the inroad Donald Trump made into Democrats’ core groups. From 2016 to 2020, Trump increased his percentage of support among Blacks (4 percent), Latinos (4 percent), Asians (7 percent), Women (1 percent), and Others (5 percent). Democrats are extremely dependent on winning big majorities in these groups, each of which (with the exception of Women) are decided electoral minorities. Even with Trump’s inroads, Biden still won large margins in each: Blacks (87 percent), Latinos (65 percent), Asians (61 percent), Women (57 percent) and Others (55 percent).)

ABC7
— Wheaton parents demand face masks be mandatory in schools regardless of CDC guidelines – Sarah Schulte
https://abc7chicago.com/wheaton-il-parents-face-masks-illinois-schools/10892331/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some Wheaton Community Unit School District 200 parents are outraged the district has decided to make masks optional for the upcoming school year. “My superintendent is arrogant enough to believe that it’s ok to roll the dice with the lives of our children, and that’s unacceptable,” said Ronak Maisuria, parent. Parents are especially concerned for all the elementary students 11-years-old and younger who are not eligible for the vaccine. The district contains several elementary schools. “We all have sacrificed, we need to do our part in the last few months to continue to protect everyone until the option is available for school-aged children,” said Jill Caballero, parent. “I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet, and I think the Delta variant is a great concern to me and to my family,” said Daniel Vissers, parent. Supt. Dr. Jeff Schuler was not available for an interview but did respond with an emailed statement. It read in part, “District 200 is very cognizant of the CDC guidance and continues to prioritize student safety in our back to school planning, as we have done over the last 12 month.” As long as there are layered mitigations, Dr. Schuler said the CDC guidance does allow for local school districts to make adjustments to the mitigations.)

— Parents Raise Concerns After Suburban School Districts Change Mask Rules. The state is leaving it up to local school districts to decide if masks are required, and that is not sitting well with some parents. – Chris Coffey
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/parents-raise-concerns-after-suburban-school-districts-change-mask-rules/2556917/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Several dozen parents in west suburban Wheaton rallied and marched to Community Unit School District 200 headquarters Friday afternoon to demand the district continue to require masks in classrooms. The school district recently decided masks would be optional at all grade levels when the new school year begins. “It feels like they don’t care about my child’s health,” said parent Charlotte Sobota. The state is leaving it up to local school districts to decide if masks are required, and that is not sitting well with some parents. “You do not take away the preventative health measure that is most proven to work,” said parent and rally organizer Ronak Maisuria. District 200 said it is continuing mitigations such as masks on buses and physical distancing at 3 feet. The district also said it is cognizant of CDC guidance, and if local conditions suggest a need to adjust practices, “we will do that as we did all last year as plans adjusted.”)

— ‘Not Sending My Child Back’: Parents Of Wheaton School District Upset About Mask Optional Rule – Megan Hickey
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2021/07/16/parents-wheaton-school-district-upset-mask-optional/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This week, District 200 in Wheaton opted to make masks optional for all students, which didn’t sit well with everyone. Some parents even rallied outside the superintendent’s office Friday afternoon. The march to the Community Unit School District 200 building on Friday was prompted by a vote earlier this week to make masks optional. It’s diverging from the CDC’s recent recommendation that only students and teachers who are fully vaccinated should drop the masks. “I thought it was a no brainer at the elementary school level. I thought my daughter would be going to school in the first grade and everyone would be wearing a mask in the room.” District 200 mom Ronak Maisuria. “It’s not about my family, this is about our community,” added fellow District 200 mom Jessica Banaszek. They organized some like-minded parents who still plan to mask their children, but worry that won’t be enough to safeguard their health. “So right now I’m telling you I’m not sending my child back to school on August 23,” said Banaszek. “They have their choice, but their choice takes away the safety of everyone around them.” The topic is polarizing, to say the least.)
