REINSTATING COMMON SENSE SCHOOL DISCIPLINE POLICIES
The Federal Government will no longer tolerate known risks to children’s safety and well-being in the classroom that result from the application of school discipline based on discriminatory and unlawful “equity” ideology.
In January 2014, the Department of Education and the Department of Justice jointly issued a “Dear Colleague” letter regarding school discipline. In that letter, the Department of Education and the Department of Justice explained that schools could be found to violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 — and therefore could lose Federal funding — if their disciplinary decisions ran afoul of a newly imposed disparate-impact framework under which race-neutral disciplinary policies, applied in an even-handed manner, may be improper if members of any racial groups are suspended, expelled, or referred to law enforcement at higher rates than others. The letter effectively required schools to discriminate on the basis of race by imposing discipline based on racial characteristics, rather than on objective behavior alone.
The consequences harmed students and schools. A 2018 report from the Federal Commission on School Safety (Commission) noted evidence that, because of the 2014 letter, “schools ignored or covered up — rather than disciplined — student misconduct in order to avoid any purported racial disparity in discipline numbers that might catch the eye of the federal government.” As a result, students who should have been suspended or expelled for dangerous behavior remained in the classroom, making all students less safe.

The Tallahassee Police Department confirmed that Phoenix Ikner, who was shot in the jaw by responding officers, was still in the hospital. Officials said it could be "several weeks" before he's discharged due to his injuries.
First Coast News obtained an application Ikner submitted for the Leon County Sheriff's Office's Youth Advisory Council in 2021 when he was a junior in high school.
The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) "provides Leon County’s young people with an active role in addressing youth issues," according to the sheriff's office's website.
"I would like to be a part of the Youth Advisory Council so that I can try and help Tallahassee become one of the best places for teenagers to live, grow up and plant family roots," Ikner said in response to a question on the application. "There are lots of issues I hope that this council can discuss and address."
Ikner said one issue to him was that he believed race relations in Leon County needed to be "addressed."
"I am passionate about this issue because its a driven factor in the political landscape of today," Ikner said in another part on the application. "For example at my school there is a clash between the races and that each race feels the opposite race is ignorant. There is no communication or dialogue between them. I believe that race sensitivity should go both ways. We don't need to focus on one race being better or need different treatment than another. This breeds issues within the classrooms at my school and adds fuel to the fire. I think that the Youth Advisory council could help bridge this gap/issue."
Ikner disclosed in a biography portion on the application that he attended Lincoln High School in Tallahassee at the time. Ikner also said in this portion of the application that he was part of JROTC during his 9th grade year, found a love for history and civics while enrolled at Swift Creek Middle School, had future plans to join the Air Force and become a history teacher after graduating high school, and explained how an expected spring break trip to Disney when he was 10 went sideways.
He said instead of going to Disney, "I went to an airport and next thing I knew I was in Norway."
First Coast News previously reported how in 2015, Ikner's biological mother, Anne-Mari Eriksen, was arrested on a kidnapping charge after authorities said she violated her custody agreement and took Ikner with her to Norway without permission.
Eriksen later entered a no contest plea and was therefore ruled guilty on July 14, 2016. She was sentenced to 200 days in prison with credit for 170 days of time served, followed by two years of community control and two more years of probation.

Farage Sparking Biggest Political Realignment in 100 Years: Pollster
A top pollster said Farage's Reform is triggering the most significant political shake-up in 100 years as voters head to the polls this week.
www.breitbart.com
Research fellow at the National Centre for Social Research, Sir John Curtice, said that the traditional two-party Westminster establishment system is crumbling, with five parties now competing for votes, with Nigel Farage’s Reform leading the way by siphoning support from both Labour and the poorly named Conservatives.
Speaking to the Financial Times, the pollster said: “Politics is no longer one-dimensional… The conditions are there for the biggest challenge to the political conventions of British politics since the 1920s,” when the Liberal Party faded from political prominence in favour of Labour, who then represented a newly-enfranchised working class.
The remarks come just ahead of voters going to the polls on Thursday in 23 councils to select over 1,600 councillor seats and six mayors. Reform, which secured around 15 per cent of the vote in last year’s general election, has shot to the top of the polls in recent months as faith fades in both Labour and the Tories to deliver on key issues, such as the cost of living and mass migration, which Reform argues are interlinked.
Demonstrating the erosion of trust in the Westminster establishment, Professor Curtice stated that fewer than half of voters intended to vote for either of the main parties in the upcoming elections. “It has never been quite that low before,” he told The Independent.
Although he said measuring Reform’s likely performance is difficult given it has never waged a national campaign on the scale of the upcoming vote, Sir John said that the Farage-led party will likely win at least a “few hundred” seats throughout the country. He added that they “in a sense, have already won these local elections” given that in under a year, Reform has managed to field more candidates than any other party.

Which makes me wonder why Trump keeps talking about making them a new state. Does he realize they will be a bunch of lunatic leftist voters that will change America for the worse? We don't want Canada or need Canada.

It would have a huge number of electoral college votes if admitted.
Canadian government should collude with US Democrat Party to get this deal done assuring leftist dominated American government forever onward. Don't they realize the opportunity Trump is handing them?
