Dorchester County, SC, School District settles discrimination case

Submitted by Robyn on Thu, 06/23/2016 - 2:17pm

The US DoE's Office of Civil Rights yesterday announced that Dorchester County School District Two in South Carolina has entered into a voluntary agreement to stop discriminating against a transgender elementary school student. THE OCR had found that the district was in violation of Title IX's prohibition on sex-based discrimination.

I commend Dorchester County School District Two for committing to protect the civil rights of all students and ensuring that all students have equal access to education programs and activities.

--Catherine E. Lhamon, assistant secretary for civil rights

What This Has Always Been About

Progressives have always fought for racial equality, for social and economic and environmental justice. That's what we believe in, that's who we are and that's what we do. We've seen Democrats betray us and there will be no forgiveness, we've seen defeats and they've been traumatic, we've seen long years of reactionary attacks, but we're still standing, we do not repent of all the trouble we've endured along the way, our marks and our scars we carry with us.

Imagine,that a woman of color was beaten with a cane by a white male Republican at a statewide meeting of Republicans? Imagine the insane amount of media coverage from CNN, MsNBC, the Washington Post, The New York Times, etc. Yet, Moumita Ahmed was assaulted by a white male Clinton supporter at a meeting of New York Democratic Party delegates on Tuesday, June 21st, and - crickets from the MSM.

We have met the enemy, and he is us. The corporate take over of the western hemisphere

Submitted by Lookout on Thu, 06/23/2016 - 10:48am

It's almost too much to keep up with...the rapid push to take over countries in the western hemisphere. A partial list includes Honduras, Paraguay, Peru, Brazil, and we've been working on Venezuela. Not to mention the corporate take over of Puerto Rico. Sadly the US is the driving most of these and complicit in the others.
