The Civil Rights' Division of the US Justice Department announced this weekend that they had reached a settlement with the Providence School District, under which non-native English-speaking students would have adequate access to language courses. The Trump Administration argued that denying English courses to non-native speakers violated the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974. Some 8,000 children and teenagers were being denied remedial English.
"As a result of this settlement, English Learners will now receive all of the services they are entitled to and deserve, " said US Attorney Stephen Dambruch. Providence mayoral candidate Robert DeRobbio said it better: "Providence students shouldn't need a Federal investigation to get a good education...the current {mayoral} administration has done nothing to improve our schools."
The current Mayor of Providence---Democrat Jorge Elorza---declined to comment on the case. It should be noted that Elorza is a former law professor and a graduate of Harvard.
Under the settlement, Providence Schools must:
1. Properly identify and place English Learners in all 41 Providence Schools; and work with parents to facilitate all available options.
2. Provide adequate English Language Services to all English Learners so to gain both proficiency and access to core grade-level instruction.
3. Hire a sufficient number of teachers certified in English as a Second Language.
4. Monitor and evaluate programs for effectiveness.
The US Justice and Education Departments will of course monitor Providence's compliance with these conditions.
I've often believed that most complaints that Conservatives have about immigrants not assimilating is less the fault of the immigrants and more the fault of our public schools. Our schools teach them not to assimilate. In Providence though that's about to change.
With Vox Day's media 'empire' in a state of free-fall, the gang at Castalia House and Arkhaven are resorting to all sorts of desperate publicity stunts to draw attention to themselves---since most of their work seems to be beneath anybody's notice. Marvel and DC Comics, for example, have about 70% of US market-share in comics and graphic novels; yet Vox seriously believes that they feel threatened by his miniscule output. Just the other day, he actually claimed that a panel from DC's Border Town comic somehow referred to himself; even though the character in question was a high-school student.
He's seen other such 'attacks' in various places, too. Consistent with such paranoia, he and his henchmen have also been attacking imaginary enemies. The WorldCon76 meeting in San Jose yesterday was the site of a protest (of sorts) organized by Jon Del Arroz, one of Vox' pawns. As it happened, threats of Antifa counter-protests sent a yellow streak up Mr. Del Arroz' spine; and he did his best imitation of The Flash breaking speed records blowing out of town.
The protest was therefore left to one Erin Sith: a Red Pill man turned via surgery into a Red Pill girl. The protest was a total flop, with a little over three dozen people attending.
An associate who attended WorldCon came up with an interesting theory. He noted that there was an uncanny resemblance between Erin Sith and Alt-Hero's poster-girl, Rebel. Both are tallish redheads; both have a habit of beating up men:
Both carry the same kinds of rifles:
There even appears to be a facial likeness---at least both have the same expression:
Finally, I always thought that Rebel was a little buff in the neck, shoulders, and upper arms:
Could it really be that Arkhaven's lead female character is modeled on a tranny? It wouldn't be surprising given the kinds of weirdness going on in today's Manosphere.
Dalrock is a Game/Red Pill blogger who purports to promote 'real' Christianity---mostly by discouraging men from visiting church and by attacking other Christian writers. This is especially true where female Christian writers are concerned. Dalrock and the fanatics who follow him hold to a radical view that women have no spiritual position in the church.
In an August 13th article titled Mama Ain't Happy, Dalrock helped incite a troll attack against Sheila Gregoire and her daughter, vlogger Katie Emmerson. These two women were responding to a widely-circulated article by Lori Alexander which suggested that Christian women should live up to man's standards rather than God's. The venom poured upon them by outraged Red Pills led them to speak out about maltreatment by these men; which in turn caused Dalrock and his sans-culottes to double-down with even more abuse.
Dalrock posits his whole theory of 'biblical headship' on a mangling of about a half-dozen verses from the Epistles of Sts. Peter and Paul. It's noteworthy that he ignores the 2nd Epistle of St. John---which is clearly written to an Abbess. The Acts of the Apostles mention a similar assembly maintained by the daughters of St. Philip. He also ignores several much more clear passages illustrating that his position is wildly wrong.
The Gospel of St. Luke speaks of Anna, the prophetess, who visited the Infant Christ and "she gave thanks to God and prophesied about the Child to all who anticipated the redemption of Israel." (ii:38).
The Old Testament Prophet Joel states that: "And I will pour out my Spirit upon all people; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy...Even upon all my servants, men and women alike, I will pour out my Spirit in those days." (ii:28-29)
As for women teaching even men, Judges ch.iv and II Kings ch.xxii depict the Jewish leaders seeking spiritual leadership from the prophetesses Deborah and Huldah. In the famous 31st Chapter of Proverbs, we are informed that "These are the words of King Lemuel; in an oracle taught him by his mother." (xxxi:1).
The Bible in itself contains hymns and psalms from Miriam, Deborah, Hannah, Elizabeth, and Mary.
Katie Emmerson and Sheila Gregoire state that God forgives women who've sinned and Dalrock pours ridicule upon the idea. But the Gospel of St. Matthew doesn't. It lists four women in the genealogy of Christ: Tamara, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. All of these women had some very dark pasts, but all are called women of faith.
The two most aggressive parties in the troll attack are Rollo Tomassi and The Red-Pilled Constantine, both of whom are notorious for this kind of behavior. Their arguments are absurd to say the least. Tomassi says:
"MeToo will be the end of evangelical 'Christianity'. Women assuming headship and authority over the church is just a formality now. It has become openly hostile towards anything conventionally masculine, which is why men will continue to leave the church. It's by women, for women."
Oh? So did Pope Francis start ordaining women and nobody told us? The church is not and never has been exclusively for one gender or the other. True, there is a division of duties in the Church; as St. Paul tells us, but each gender contributes its unique strengths. If men are leaving the church, it's because they are being encouraged to do so by apostates like Dalrock and Tomassi.
Here are TRP Constantine's words of wisdom: "To Sheila and the feminists here, this is where your journey ends; when you can't tell if the pastor is Lutheran or Wicca and religion is clitoris worship. Enjoy the ride, you pay at the last stop, where there will be Hell to pay!" And to think some people actually accuse the Red Pills of being angry and hateful...
It should be pointed out that the Red Pill is much closer to feminism than Sheila Gregoire is; and that the 'Christian' bloggers in the movement are usually indistinguishable from Gnostic and other heresies. And the phallic worship on these sites is quite blatant.
There never was a time when the Church was free from sin; because humanity has never been free from it. Thus, there never was some Golden Age, from Eden onward, that these cults can bring us back to. The illusion that there was is responsible for the success of many such groups. But those who embrace reality embrace the True Faith.
Jon Del Arroz, crony of Vox Day and notorious internet gadfly, organized a rally at WorldCon 76 to protest getting banned from that organization in January. Del Arroz has been howling for the last several months that 'SJW's at WorldCon banned him for his politics, and not because he openly defied them to do it.
So, Saturday in San Jose, the Red Pills are scheduled to hold the Predators Out Now Patriots Rally Against Pedophiles in Sci-Fi demonstration. Yesterday, however, the Bay Area legions of Antifa announced that they would be holding a counter-protest. Manly Alpha Leader Del Arroz suddenly decided for 'health reasons' to make a beeline out of town:
"Unfortunately due to family health reasons, I'll be unable to attend any further WorldCon-related events this weekend. I have to leave the area because of heavy smoke and poor air quality. Health takes a priority." he noted at his blog.
FYI:
"The protest against pedophilia is still on," he continues, "And there's expected to be a sizable turnout. They have my full support..."
Sure, Jon. Anyway, Del Arroz has assured us that the protest will be in the capable hands of one 'Erin Sith'---a trans-man who hangs around the Red Pill Movement and is known for rather unladylike behaviors like getting into fistfights with Antifa. He will be joined by the latent-homosexual gang, The Proud Boys. All of this motley group is ostensibly fighting for traditional values in American literature.
This isn't the first time that Del Arroz has hidden behind Mr. Sith's skirts. He recently noted on his blog that:
"Erin has also very kindly offered to escort me to Bay Area Science Fiction conventions in the future for my safety's sake. Thanks, Erin!"
What a pathetic excuse for a man. If you're planning to attend today's protest, that is the level of leadership you can expect.
It's doubtful anyway that Del Arroz' protests and tantrums will amount to anything anyway. He and Vox Day were totally wiped out in the first round of the Dragon Awards nominations recently. As those awards are reader-nominated, it's hard for either of those two to pretend that they're somehow being blacklisted by the industry.
The Red Pills are fakes through and through. They don't represent any 'alternative' to anything.
In the 'Sanctuary City' of Sacramento yesterday, FBI and ICE agents raided the apartment of 45 year-old Omar Ameen. Ameen is an Iraqi national who was in the country as a legal alien, who settled in Sacramento under Obama's Refugee Resettlement Program. He was in the process of applying for Permanent Residency when taken into custody.
The problem? It turns out that Ameen is wanted in Iraq for war crimes committed while in the service of the ISIS Caliphate. Iraq's Ministry of Justice alleges that Ameen, a native of Rahwa, Anbar Province, was a known member of Al-Qaeda prior to the rise of the Caliphate. Ameen joined ISIS and rose to become a commander. He returned to his hometown with a gang of thugs and murdered a local police chief who'd put him on a Watch List. The Iraqi Government states, on witness testimony, that during the ISIS Occupation of Rahwa, Ameen participated in numerous crimes including deploying IED's to murder soldiers and civilians alike.
KCRA-3 News in Sacramento obtained a social media post of Ameen and his ISIS cohorts boasting about the murder. They also reported that Iraqi witnesses believe that Ameen was involved in a 2006 murder at the Karaballa Military Base.
Didn't Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry assure us that there were no terrorist infiltrators among the refugees? Apparently they were wrong. They did, however, deny Iraqi and Syrian Christians refugee status. The Liberal Deep-Statists were uncomfortable about allowing any more Bronze Age Bigots into the country; but Al-Qaeda and ISIS members fit in much better with their ideology and political goals.
In January, Sacramento Mayor Daniel Steinberg boasted that his city "would join, if not lead, any effort to fight threats against Sanctuary City status with litigation...That's the only stand to take on behalf of this city; which turned out 25,000 people to Capitol Mall : a city which prides itself on its incredible diversity!" Steinberg has been rather quiet about this incident, however. The Corporate Media has been trotting out the predictable "shocked neighbor" stories and legal 'experts' questioning whether or not Ameen's civil rights are being violated.
But it's good to know that, for once, we actually have a Federal Government willing to stand up to the PC 'narrative' and do the right thing. If convicted in Iraq, Ameen faces a sentence of death by hanging.
Last Friday, authorities in New Mexico raided a makeshift compound in the Taos area on a tip that a 3 year-old kidnap victim was being held there. The police found 11 teenagers and children living in squalid conditions; essentially being brainwashed to commit terrorist activities. The kidnap victim was dead, according to forensic doctors themselves, a casualty of a cult-like ritual murder. A gang of Wahhabi fanatics who ran this hecatomb were arrested.
Admittedly, when this story first broke last weekend, we didn't give it the attention that it deserved. During the Syrian Civil War, stories about these types of compounds were fairly routine, especially during the Battles of Deir Ezzur and Mosul. ISIS had a network of facilities kidnapping children and turning them into suicide bombers. The Allies managed to rescue most of the victims. The ISIS operatives running the compounds, though, were usually put up against a wall and shot.
But here in the US, the Whacko Left Wing doesn't see groups like the Jihadists as much of a threat. At least, so said Judge Sarah Backus. According to KOB-TV 4 in Albuquerque, Judge Backus released some suspects on bail because there was insufficient evidence to hold them in jail. They were held on $20,000 bond---no word on who paid the bail. It didn't help two of the suspects, though. The thug who kidnapped the deceased 3 year-old has a federal warrant for that crime, and one of harlots of that same thug was picked up by ICE on an immigration charge.
Outside of New Mexico, though, this story has gotten about as much Mainstream Media attention as the previous atrocities in Syria did. The Left is busy obsessing over some new White House 'scandal' about the President belching at the dinner table, or muttering a racial slur in his sleep, or something. But to the Corporate Media, things like cults kidnapping and abusing minors and practicing ritual killings are a normal part of day-to-day life and no really big deal.
Judge Backus is reportedly getting threats over the decision; and the media is getting outraged over that. We don't, of course, endorse that sort of behavior. Threatening a sitting judge is an very serious offense, and rightly so. There are legal remedies for these kinds of injustices and they should be pursued instead.
President Trump and Education Secretary DeVos, please take note. The Hungarian Government announced today that it was abolishing Gender Studies courses in their university system. The schools affected includes one founded by international arch-criminal George Soros.
Dr. Bence Retvari of the Hungarian Secretary of State's office stated that "university degrees must rely on a scientific basis for their existence. Gender Studies, an offshoot of Marxism and Leninism, must be termed an ideology instead of a science."
A press spokesman concurred, stating further that subjects such as Gender Studies serve no national or economic interest and are consequently a waste of taxpayer funds. All that we can add to this is that attitudes like these are desperately needed in the United States too. Gender Studies here are not only a waste of valuable tax-funds; they are incubators of the worst breeds of social parasites. Up until the 1990's, Gender Studies' departments and degrees were practically nonexistent in the US. They spread like wildfire---with metaphorically the same disastrous results---under the instigation of Hillary Clinton, Donna Shalala, Janet Reno, and Johnetta Cole.
Naturally, Hungary's decision caused an explosion of outrage among Europe's Cultural Marxists. The American Media---except for some Conservative-leaning outlets---has largely ignored the story lest it give politicians over here any ideas. The commentary on most of these sites has been overwhelmingly supportive of Retvari's policy.
Wonderful news to start off the week. Let's just hope our politicians follow Hungary's lead.
