Kansas Republican editorial openly declares minority voting a problem, calls for change

1 man 1 vote does not appeal to some fine citizens.

And now again. Protesters in France.
Well why spend millions of Euros on Notre Dame...
Easter Eve in Paris was marked by clashes between police and demonstrators belonging to the Yellow West. The police have put tear gas against masked protesters and over 100 people have been arrested for the 23rd Saturday in a row.

Ain't religion grand
What's worse is reporters making assumptions.
The report noted that the arrangements made for anatomical studies were “distasteful at a minimum,” but that the practice of donating “unclaimed” bodies to medical institutions “was legal and commonplace, if not widely known.”
It was known at ground level for decades but if one wanted some serious grief to contend with , just take on the church. Even the bureaucrats & politicians were fearful of them - all the way into the 80's.
Saying that, it was just as bad here in the UK with Catholic schools where the priests & nuns outnumbered ordinary teachers.
I don't often quote my own posts but this is appropriate.

The Girls of Bessborough

We explained in graphic terms that in 10 to 15 to 20 years time Irish priests – apart from a tiny cadre of aged individuals – would have virtually disappeared.
I hope I'm alive to see it happen

The woman in question, Lyra McKee, was a journalist 'doing her job' - reporting on police raids aiming to forestall rumoured terrorist activity on Easter Monday.
It seems like a long time since I wrote that. Her funeral was held this afternoon, and you probably won't be able to avoid the spontaneous standing ovation given to the priest, when he asked:

Why in God's name does it take the death of a 29-year-old woman with her whole life in front of her to get to this point?
- in front of the politicians he had just commended for finally meeting together in that divided community.

The commentators recalled the eulogy by Lord Spencer at Princess Diana's funeral, but my mind was drawn back to the assassination of Jo Cox MP near her constituency office, just days before the Brexit referendum. I never met either of them, but those two fine young women seemed to have a lot in common. Let us remember them both.

The House of Lords... You still have this almost medieval division in government in the UK?
However they seem to be worried about the cost of housing especially for the younger generation.
That's nice, but haven't they learned by now how the Property Ladder function?
And why do they think that all stepped into that?
Many old people today didn't. Those old people cannot now afford to pay for the younger generation housings.

Amid measles fears, more than 200 students and staff at L.A. universities are quarantined
Trying to stop a measles outbreak from spreading, health officials announced Thursday that more than 200 students and staff members at UCLA and Cal State L.A. who have been exposed to measles are being asked to stay home.

The five people diagnosed with measles so far in L.A. County this year include a UCLA student and a Cal State L.A. student. Concerned about the quick spread of disease on busy college campuses, health officials have ordered that students and staff exposed to measles who cannot show they have been vaccinated be quarantined until further notice.

Frankly the anti-vax has gone on too long and too far. I think it it time for a law indicating that a health professional who is asked to give an anti-vax exemption must report the request to the Dept. of Child Protective Services to be investigated as possible child abuse and if the child should be removed from the home. Same for schools who get the exemption letters. If there is a legitimate medical reason, 99.9% the doctor is the one who first realizes it and the reason already will be in the medical file on the child.

It will be interesting to see if this sparks a debate between 'human rights to an education' and 'quarantine is a long-established procedure for protecting other people'.

And if it does, which side wins.

white extremest breitbart or https://www.newsweek.com/trinity-college-professor-whiteness-terrorism-alumni-backlash-1405237
After facing criticism for posting on Twitter that “whiteness is terrorism,” Johnny Eric Williams, a sociology professor at Trinity College in Connecticut, stood by his comment on the basis that the ideology isn’t controversial.

The tweet, along with another that claimed all self-identified white people were invested in and colluded with systemic white racism and white supremacy, drew the ire of a private Trinity alumni Facebook group. Williams told Newsweek he understood why people could be upset by the comments, but claimed he was referencing a systemic issue. His comments and the resulting outcry speak to a broader conversation about inequality and institutional bias happening on university campuses nationwide.

“I’m referring to whiteness as an ideology, which everyone in the United States is immersed in because we live in a white supremacy society,” Williams said. “Because there are people walking around believing that they’re white and acting as if they’re white, when there’s just the human race.”

He claimed race doesn't exist and instead characterized whiteness as a system which ranks socio-political groupings into hierarchies of superiority versus inferiority.

“It’s a system that advantages whiteness and people who take on the veneer of whiteness themselves,” Williams said. “So if someone is black, they can become white too. They’ll still be black, but they’re going to be acting and living as though they’re white too.” He added that over-policing, mass incarceration and health inequality were evidence of the kinds of damage wrought by society that inherently rewards whiteness.

White extremism can have interesting delusional effects. Breitbart claims he is the author, no, he isn't. That doesn't matter to someone who wants to bash.

Johnny Eric Williams (pictured) is a professor at Trinity College in Connecticut. Earlier this year [2017] he shared an article by an anonymous writer that wished all white people would die. In fact the article was titled, “Let Them F******* Die” and read in part:

“If you see them drowning. If you see them in a burning building. If they are bleeding out in an emergency room. If the ground is crumbling beneath them. If they are in a park and they turn their weapons on each other: do nothing,” said the author of white people.
