Documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show a private company’s unprecedented effort to inject DEI into classrooms. In January 2020, Walmart approached public school administrators in Bentonville, Arkansas, about hosting diversity training sessions for the district. "We want people to feel welcomed, comfortable, and safe living here" in Northwest Arkansas, Candice Jones, Walmart’s head of diversity, emailed district leaders, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. To that end, the company was offering to arrange teacher training sessions with a North Carolina-based consultancy known as the Racial Equity Institute, a group "devoted to creating racially equitable organizations and systems."

I would hope that Governor Sanders will give Gov. DeSantis a call and find out how you put a stop to this! She has the Power, she just needs the Know How!

Local communities should reevaluate every sweeheart deal that brought Walmart to their community and investigate who got paid what while sitting on the planning committee. Void those agreements and tax Walmart like every other property owner.

This is heartbreaking! I can’t imagine that Mr.Sam would have ever gone along with this. Walmart is closing stores in Woke Chicago because of this type of destructive agenda that has overlooked its results since their store openings there seventeen years ago. Arkansas is a beautiful, friendly state where it’s good people have gotten along together, cared about one another & had many things in common for the most part for many years. I pray for Governor Huckabee, & the good people of all races in Arkansas for awareness, & vigilance to stand strong together, so that this wonderful state isn’t allowed to be divided and destroyed by this ugly, invasive, cancerous evil. The Godless Woke divisive agenda is not an answer to any problems that may need to be addressed & fixed anywhere. Putting God first always leads to the right answers to any & all problems. Americans of all races used to know that. I pray that enough of us still do.

FTA...'if necessary, to form a "restorative circle" with students. ... "To dispel any sense of hierarchy" in the circle, the handbook counsels, teachers and students should both sit on the floor.' Parents should demand that school board members sit on the floor when they meet. Give them a real sense of being down with the people. Right? I've always been bothered by the grand elevated seats that City council members have, why can't they sit in the same type of chairs the citizens sit in, maybe elevated slightly on boxes so the people can see who is talking at a particular time. The Walton family doesn't realize they are slitting their own throats with this CRT nonsense. As White multi-millionaires they have very large targets on their backs.

"devoted to creating racially equitable....." Equitable...what a nice sounding EVIL, corrupt, crooked, racist word. "Equitable" to them, means the same OUTCOMES regardless of lack of skills, intelligence, effort or competence. Equality is the same OPPORTUNITY to demonstrate your skills, intelligence, effort and competence. Equity is NOT equality. "Equity" is pure RACISM and discriminates against the competent, the hard working, the intelligent and the capable in favor of the lazy, stupid, incompetent and ignorant as long as they have black skin. THAT is pure evil, and destructive as anything ever done to our country.

I would prefer that Walmart abandon stakeholder capitalism (socialism), all political activity, and reduce prices to consumers. That is the way the founder, Sam Walton, ran the store.

IMO, from a racialist perspective, 'equity' is sugar-coating for 'revenge'. Centuries ago, tribe A sold members of tribe B to European nation C slavers, who shipped them to New World colonies D, one of which eventually became free Nation E. Now descendants of A or B want revenge on E's current population F. In short, equity...is all about F USA.

That load roaring sound is Sam Walton spinning in his grave because of the evil that is done in his name nowdays. He was a sensible, reasonable guy. He flew himself around to see his stores in a small twin piston engined private aircraft....he was the pilot. He'd be very unhappy at what his hideous heirs have done.

Here is the problem. I have more than a few fellow W TX neighbors who have retired to that beautiful NW corner of Arkansas. They say the problem is that WM and Tyson donate so much money to Republicans including Sarah and Hutchinson before her. They say Governors Hutchinson never criticized Wal-Mart while they pushed Wokeness and Governor Sanders won’t either. Is this true?

#10 And those who are here are the fortunate. Most slaves were sent to South America, The Carribean or Middle East where they perished. Less than 400 thousand out of 12 million of the slaves sent to the Americas came to what is now the US. As many or more were shipped to Arab countries. Countries worked millions to death - not North America. Within a few decades that 400k had grown to 4 million. African Arab Pirates raided Europe and shipping for white slaves. The Marine Hymn line "To the shores of Tripoli" has a historical meaning. I doubt most even know the true history of American slavery and certainly don't know about the history of worldwide slavery.

If you’re keeping up with the buzz surrounding Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News, you may come across the name Abby Grossberg. Grossberg was fired from Fox News in March and is currently suing the network and Carlson for allegedly fostering a hostile work environment. (Snip) “Tucker and his executive producer Justin Wells, who was also fired, really were responsible for breaking me and making my life a living hell,” Grossberg claimed in the interview. However, there is actually a significant problem with her accusations: her own lawyer admits that Grossberg never actually met Tucker Carlson.

The fact that Tucker Carlson’s program is ending so abruptly — no farewell show, no final chance to thank the viewers for tuning in, night after night – is an indication that this was not such an amiable separation and that Fox News did not trust their highest-rated host to appear on-air, even for one last time. (Snip) It is unlikely that networks like Fox News can afford to keep loose-cannon hosts anymore.

Stanford University's Black Law Students Association will no longer help the university recruit black students after the law school's dean, Jenny Martinez, apologized in early March to Fifth Circuit appellate judge Kyle Duncan. The students cited what they described as the "scapegoating" of the school's diversity dean, Tirien Steinbach, for an incident last month in which students disrupted Duncan's remarks and Steinbach egged them on. "The apology was intimately aligned with White supremacist practices," the group's board wrote....

A sizable majority of likely voters believe that the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, was provoked by government agents secretly operating in the crowds, a stunning rejection of the blame that Justice Department prosecutors and a special House panel have put squarely on the head of former President Donald Trump. While many had suspicions of undercover agents fanning anger in the crowd about Trump’s electoral loss to President Joe Biden, the airing of never-before-seen videos by Fox’s Tucker Carlson jumped that number to 65% in the latest Rasmussen Reports survey.

Senate Republicans had a shot at successfully passing a vital resolution in the Democrat-controlled upper chamber that would protect Americans from funding abortions. Instead of allying with their own on an issue that has set the GOP apart from the left for decades, however, at least two of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s closest allies sided with Democrats’ radical abortion agenda when they voted 51 to 48 not to proceed with the legislation.

Long before the Department of Homeland Security attempted to justify the formal recognition of a "Disinformation Czar" to monitor Americans' speech or news broke that the State Department had been using a foreign organization called the Global Disinformation Index to censor conservative voices here at home, it was clear that the war for free speech had begun. For years, conservative websites struggled to survive financially as shadowbans and stealth blacklisting eliminated advertising revenues and throttled user engagement.

In 2019, Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman admitted while being questioned by the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday that he had leaked information to an anti-Trump whistleblower at the center of the Democrats’ partisan impeachment proceedings of President Donald Trump. Vindman attempted to provide talking points to Trump prior to his “infamous” Ukraine phone call and then leaked a mischaracterization of the call afterward. Vindman was directly confronted by California Rep. Devin Nunes. Nunes asked: “Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, did you discuss the July 25 phone call with anyone outside the White House on July 25 or the 26, and if so, with whom?” “Yes. I did,” Vindman responded.

Nikki Haley doesn’t have a prayer to become the next President of the United States, although she is a viable VP candidate for sure. I’ve always had a generally positive impression of her. She is smart, was a good governor, and one of the most reliable and well-spoken of the Trump appointees. With that said, I was pretty stunned by her cheap shot at Ron DeSantis. I am pretty sure that it will alienate quite a number of people, although to me it’s pretty clear that Republican voters are not the intended recipients of her message.

The board voted 7-4 to repeal a 2016 law that prohibited city employees from traveling to or doing business with companies in states that passed conservative laws. The board of supervisors first enacted the law in an effort to punish states that had enacted what it viewed as restrictions on LGBT rights after the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v.
