Schoolchildren all around most of the country, and all over the world, are taught (roughly) the truth about U.S. history. Alabama is one of few outliers.
There, children are taught that blacks and whites have, and have always had, equal rights, and equal protection under the law.
Educator Jonathan Kozol, who recently celebrated his 89th birthday, 67 years after graduating from Harvard summa cum laude, taught young white and black children in the Boston public school system, and wrote an essay in which he posed the question: Why do the parents of black kids not trust white teachers?
Answering his own question, he went on: Did white teachers protest against the use of the racist Scott Foresman elementary school textbooks that taught that “though slavery did exist, most slave owners treated their slaves kindly,” and made numerous other remarks that suggested that the North and South had equal rights to determine whether or not slavery was valid, and should be allowed to exist into perpetuity.
As to the trust issue, he concluded: “It’s simply because we are not worthy of their trust.”
Here’s a suggestion for Kay Ivey, the governor of the most backward state in the union: Tell the truth.

Threats to America’s Health and Safety
Those who are involved in science are concerned that American society is threated by misinformation.
Of course, MAGA crowd, the antivaxxers, the climate deniers, etc. believe the opposite, i.e., the people like Anthony Fauci, who have dedicated their entire adult lives to human health, have suddenly become corrupt, and are profiting from fake science while destroying the U.S. economy.

ACORE Statement on the Department of Interior’s Action to Halt Fully Permitted Offshore Wind Construction Projects
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) issued the following statement from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long in response to the Department of the Interior’s action to halt fully permitted offshore wind construction projects:
“Americans expect their government and private sector to work together to ensure that the lights stay on and their electric bills are affordable. The five East Coast offshore wind projects that have been paused should be a total success story: $28 billion in committed private sector capital, expanded port infrastructure, support for domestic shipbuilding, and 10,000 good-paying local jobs—all to support a more robust, affordable, reliable, and secure electricity resource base for decades to come. Given skyrocketing electricity demand forecasts and consumers’ clear concerns about affordability, projects like these need to get over the finish line to give people confidence that government and the private sector can still deliver on big things. Unfortunately, actions like this send the opposite message at exactly the wrong time.”
