Michigan Principal: ‘Not Appropriate’ to Mention Jesus in Valedictory Speech

Nigeria Report: Hundreds of Christians Killed in First 4 Months of 2021
The Tablet cites a dangerous “escalation” in targeted violence against Nigeria’s Christian population, in what watchdog groups are calling a Christian genocide in the country.
The Nigerian-based Int’l Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of Law (Intersociety), a human rights group, reported this month that Islamic jihadists massacred 1,470 Christians in the first four months of 2021 and abducted over 2,200.
The 1,470 Christian deaths in just four months exceeded the total number of Christians killed in 2019, estimated at 1,350, the report said.

‘Reparative Justice Project’: Bristol to Spend £290,000 in Taxpayer Money to Atone for the Slave Trade
Bristol University’s ‘History of Slavery’ Professor Olivette Otel alongside Dr Richard Stone of the history department will be tasked with examining records following the abolition of slavery in Bristol as well as records from plantations in the Caribbean to determine who profited off the slave trade and the identities of the slaves.
Olivette Otele, who was installed as the school’s first history of slavery professor in 2019, said: “Bristol’s economic, social and cultural life, and the lived experience of its citizens have been shaped by transatlantic slavery, with the city struggling to address the legacies of this past.
Bristol has become a central location for left-wing activist in Britain, with some even likening the city to the Antifa hotbed of Portland in the United States. In a notable example, far-left activists in the city attempted to create a Bristol Autonomous Zone (BAZ) in March, similar to the infamous Capital Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in the United States.

Here’s why Kwame Brown is giving Jason Whitlock hope
Kwame Brown might be an unfamiliar name, but perhaps not for long. The former professional basketball player grew tired of being incorrectly labeled a NBA laughingstock, so he unashamedly called out those responsible. But then he went further.
Journalist Jason Whitlock describes Brown’s recent stance against the elite, woke culture, and more. Whitlock says Brown is redefining a message ‘specifically for black people,’ and he’s NOT being labeled an ‘Uncle Tom’ or a ‘sellout’ as a result.
In fact, Brown’s YouTube and Instagram followings have skyrocketed in the past ten days, giving Whitlock — and many more throughout America — much needed hope.
