In January 1865, Marx wrote to Lincoln on behalf of the International Workingmen’s Association, a group for socialists, communists, anarchists and trade unions, to “congratulate the American people upon your reelection.”
House Bills 616 and 327 would bar teachers from discussing racism — a national sickness that officials say led to the massacre of Roberta A. Drury, Margus D. Morrison, Andre Mackneil, Aaron Salter, Geraldine Talley, Celestine Chaney, Heyward Patterson, Katherine Massey, Pearl Young and Ruth Whitfield May 14 at a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo.
House Bill 327 would also restrict how public colleges and other public entities such as police departments and libraries offer training or instructions to employees, contractors or outside groups about so-deemed “divisive concepts” such as racism, sexism, inequality and religious intolerance.
Abolition Party and Fremont
Posted on February 9, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
Christians claim God – IS TRUTH – and they uphold this and most family and political traditions. They claim they follow the Bible and it is the pure word of God. They insist secular government and secular culture must be destroyed so they can construct the delusional kingdom of God – here on earth. Millions of Christian lunatics claim – TRUMP WON! If John Fremont and the founders of the Republican party – were alive – they would order these lunatics out of THIER PARTY, and insist they form THEIR OWN PARTY that would resemble A CHURCH.
Consider the Parable of the Sower. There were Marxists and Socialists in the first Republican Party. Most Christian leaders, and Fox News – hate Socialists! Build the Party of Jesus – on good ground! Followers of Prosperity Gospel may be wondering why they have been having – BAD LUCK!

It was December 1861, a Tuesday at noon, when President Abraham Lincoln sent his first annual message — what later became the State of the Union — to the House and Senate.
By the next day, all 7,000 words of the manuscript were published in newspapers across the country, including the Confederate South. This was Lincoln’s first chance to speak to the nation at length since his inaugural address.
He railed against the “disloyal citizens” rebelling against the Union, touted the strength of the Army and Navy, and updated Congress on the budget.
For his eloquent closer, he chose not a soliloquy on unity or freedom but an 800-word meditation on what the Chicago Tribune subtitled “Capital Versus Labor:”
“Labor is prior to and independent of capital,” the country’s 16th president said. “Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.”
Our view: Proposed laws open Ohio kids up to hateful ideology, racist conspiracies
Opinion by Dispatch Editorial Board – 2h agoFollow
As history has shown time and time again, racism is real and causes real harm to real people.
If two sets of GOP lawmakers have their way, Ohio’s children would be shielded from that horrible, but necessary fact and made more vulnerable to believing hateful ideology that is often easier to find online than truth.
House Bills 616 and 327 would bar teachers from discussing racism — a national sickness that officials say led to the massacre of Roberta A. Drury, Margus D. Morrison, Andre Mackneil, Aaron Salter, Geraldine Talley, Celestine Chaney, Heyward Patterson, Katherine Massey, Pearl Young and Ruth Whitfield May 14 at a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo.
House Bill 327 would also restrict how public colleges and other public entities such as police departments and libraries offer training or instructions to employees, contractors or outside groups about so-deemed “divisive concepts” such as racism, sexism, inequality and religious intolerance.
Authorities say it is clear why an 18-year-old man from a small rural town in New York injured three people and murdered Roberta, Margus, Andre, Aaron, Geraldine, Celestine, Heyward, Katherine, Pearl and Ruth — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers and friends who ranged in age from ages 32 to 86.
The suspect allegedly hates Black people and drafted a 180-page racist inspired by the Great Replacement Theory – a racist and anti-Semitic lie that there is an orchestrated plan to replace white people through immigration and interracial marriage.

White youths left open to absorb lies about race
Last week, the News Literacy Project — a nonpartisan national education nonprofit — called on educators to help students understand racist conspiracy theories — something that would be impossible to do if House Bills 616 and 327 are approved.
“Our education system must teach young people about conspiracy theories that can lead individuals to fall for false narratives that have violent, real-world consequences. News literacy education helps people learn to think critically and gain the skills to be smart, active consumers of news and other information and engaged participants in a democracy,” the organization said as part of a statement.
Aside from restricting what kids can learn about gender and sexuality, House Bill 616 would also specifically ban Critical Race Theory, intersectional theory; The 1619 Project, diversity, equity, and inclusion and so-called inherited racial guilt from public and private schools.
Tennessee banned critical race theory in K-12 schools a year ago.

© Tina MacIntyre-Yee/USA Today Network10 people were killed and three others injured in a shooting at a Buffalo, NY grocery store on May 14, 2022. The 18-year-old from Conklin, NY allegedly shot people inside and outside of the Tops Friendly Market and was motivated by hate, authorities said. 11 of the 13 people shot were Black. A bouquet of flowers with candles was left across the street from the Tops.
As Tonyaa Weathersbee points out for a piece for the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Tennessee lawmakers should be more concerned with Great Replacement Theory than Critical Race Theory which is not even taught in schools there or here.
She writes: “Sadly, (the Buffalo) tragedy isn’t solely the result of racism and xenophobia polluting the online and social media sphere, but the effect of GOP-led culture wars that have, among other things, painted teaching about race as racism, and white students as victims of the lessons, and not the reality, of racism.
Problem is, by restricting teaching truths about race in schools under the flimsy excuse of it potentially traumatizing white students, these lawmakers leave an opening for white youths to absorb lies about race online.”
White supremacy, the true divisive concept
Teaching kids the truths of racism is not about making them feel guilty.
It is partly about informing them so they can help prevent the sins of the past from repeating and protecting them from falling for the true divisive concept — white supremacy.

This is not an overreaction.
There are racists, homophobes and other bigots among us, and we do not just mean members of the 20 Ohio hate groups the Southern Poverty Law Center has identified.
Unscrupulous media personalities and politicians are pushing a false narrative that white people should be afraid of the other.

Hate crimes targeting Black people jumped to 2,871 in 2020 from 1,972 the prior year, according to the FBI’s hate crime statistics report released in August. The number of such crimes against Asians increased to 279 from 161, a statistic advocates say is low due to under reporting.
Bills such as House Bill 327 and 616 make it more likely that more human beings will get caught in the cross hairs.
They must be stopped.
