That professor, however, says he is "shocked" over the school's decision, and does not agree with it.<br /><p><a href="https://rochesterbeacon.com/2021/12/23/jingle-all-the-way-maybe-not/" target="_blank">According to a report in the Rochester Beacon</a>, Tappon claimed that "Jingle Bells" <b><i>might</i></b> have been performed by minstrel shows in the 1800s. Minstrel performers often performed in blackface, so the ban is based on no actual evidence that the song itself is racist. The mere possibility that someone in blackface <b><i>might </i></b>have performed it is the basis of the ban. </p><p>When a parent's post about it went viral on social media, the blowback went national, and the school was inundated with emails and calls complaining about the ban. The blowback was so bad, the school district had to take time during Christmas break to respond. </p><p><a href="https://www.bcsd.org/site/default.aspx?PageType=3&DomainID=8&ModuleInstanceID=19574&ViewID=6446EE88-D30C-497E-9316-3F8874B3E108&RenderLoc=0&FlexDataID=67773&PageID=9" target="_blank">McGowan responded on December 28</a> to outrage from parents over the decision, but refused to apologize. "We couldn’t be more proud of our staff and the work they continue to do....to be more culturally responsive, thoughtful, and inclusive," he said.</p><p>

<br /></p><p>Despite the lack of proof, McGowan insisted the song was sung by performers in blackface, and therefore, it must be banned. “The fact that ‘Jingle Bells’ was first performed in minstrel shows where white actors performed in blackface does actually matter when it comes to questions of what we use as material in school,” he said in justifying the ban.</p><p>McGowan also insisted the decision “wasn’t ‘liberalism gone amok’ or ‘cancel culture at its finest’ as some have suggested.”</p><p>Both McGowan and Tappon cited a 2017 article by Boston University professor Kyna Hamill, who speculated that "Jingle Bells" <b><i>might</i></b> have first been performed in 1857 by a minstrel performer in blackface.</p><p>However, even Prof. Hamill admits to being "shocked" to learn that her article was used to justify banning "Jingle Bells." </p><p>She actually believes that the song should still be performed, but we must never forget the history in which the song originated. “My article tried to tell the story of the first performance of the song, I do not connect this to the popular Christmas tradition of singing the song now," Hamill told the Rochester Beacon. </p><p>

<b>Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) has been politicizing the COVID-19 pandemic since the beginning of the shutdown, including making a show out of the use of masks in public settings.</b><br />

<b>A Planned Parenthood in Salt Lake City, Utah got an unexpected surprise Saturday morning: a mural on the street outside their front door proclaiming “Baby Lives Matter.”</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The mural was painted by a local artist, and it quickly began making the rounds of conservative social media.<br />
<br />
The artist, Tayler Hansen, told local media that he painted the mural about 1:00 a.m. and fashioned it around the "Black Lives Matter" murals being painted on streets across the country.<br />
<br />
“With recent events unfolding, everybody knows about the Black Lives Matter murals unfolding around the nation,” he said. “I thought I would bring awareness to one of the biggest human rights crises that nobody wants to talk about.”<br />

According to Hansen, he used paint that would wash away within ten days. However, someone was able to remove the mural later that same day. It is not clear if city personnel or Planned Parenthood staff removed the mural.<br />

<b>Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is facing a pandemic of violence in her city, and yet took the time to attack White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany for bringing it to light.</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The controversy erupted Thursday after a reporter questioned McEnany about President Donald Trump's ability to address police violence against black Americans.<br />
<br />
"The president has routinely acknowledged and expressed the absolute atrocity of the case of George Floyd, and his heart goes out to that family still," McEnany said.<br />
<br />
"He was noting a fact, that there were, when you look at unarmed killings with police interactions in this country, that you had nine unarmed black individuals who were fatally shot, and 19 unarmed white individuals, that's down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015, so numbers have actually come down since the Obama administration," she said.<br />
<br />
She then pointed out that the greatest threat of violence against black Americans comes not from the police, but from their own communities.<br />
<br />

<br />
"He (Trump) was making that point....that black men and women who die of homicide, they are likely to die of homicide at eight times greater than that of white individuals and Hispanics combined. That's the rate combined," McEnany told the press.<br />
<br />
"So that's an extraordinary thing that we want to look at," she said. "I've listed for you the names of these kids who died across this country. It is unacceptable, and under this president, he'll take action and the derelict mayor of Chicago should step up and ask for federal help, because she's doing a very poor job at securing her streets."<br />
<br />
That seemed to set off Mayor Lightfoot, who has been criticized for not acting quickly on the wave of violence that has killed dozens of innocent people, including many children. She was, however, quick to respond to to McEnany on Twitter.<br />
<br />
"Karen, watch your mouth," <a href="https://twitter.com/chicagosmayor/status/1283871476408479744" target="_blank">she said in response to McEnany's comments</a>.<br />

Lightfoot has demonstrated a pattern of lashing out against criticism, and her thin skin too often takes her focus away from the violence in the streets.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://twitter.com/GaryCoby/status/1283901479187877889" target="_blank">In response to the Lightfoot tweet</a>, Trump 2020 campaign digital director Gary Coby tweeted back "Black people are being murdered at a record rate in Chicago. The violence and death is out of control... 64 shot & 11 killed just last weekend. 373 have been killed just this year, a 35% increase."<br />

<b>Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback and current National Anthem protester Colin Kaepernick has signed with The Walt Disney Company to make shows and an ESPN documentary about his life</b>.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The first-look deal between Walt Disney and Kapernick’s Ra Vision Media production company will include the ESPN Film project as well as "scripted and unscripted stories that deal with race, social injustice and the quest for equity."<br />
<br />
Those possible shows, movies, and documentaries could be featured on any of Disney's companies, which include Walt Disney Television, ESPN, Hulu, Pixar and The Undefeated, an ESPN media outlet that covers race in sports. Kaepernick will reportedly work closely on the projects.<br />
<br />
“I am excited to announce this historic partnership with Disney across all of its platforms to elevate Black and Brown directors, creators, storytellers, and producers, and to inspire the youth with compelling and authentic perspectives,” Kaepernick said in a press release. “I look forward to sharing the docuseries on my life story, in addition to many other culturally impactful projects we are developing.”<br />

The announcement comes just days after Kaepernick tweeted that the 4th of July was a celebration of white supremacy.<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
Kaepernick also announced that former ESPN anchor Jemele Hill would serve as a producer on his ESPN documentary.<br />
<br />
Hill parted ways with ESPN after a number of political controversies, including saying President Donald Trump was a white supremacist in a tweet. She also called on advertisers to boycott the Dallas Cowboys after owner Jerry Jones said he would not support players kneeling during the National Anthem.<br />
<br />
Kaepernick has also recently joined the board of directors of media website Medium.<br />
<br />
“Colin has had a singular path as both an athlete and an activist, and, as the nation continues to confront racism and social injustice," ESPN president Jimmy Piatro said. "It feels particularly relevant to hear Colin’s voice on his evolution and motivations.”<br />

Disney executive chairman Bob Iger was enthusiastic about Kaepernick joining Disney. He claimed the former quarterback has “a unique perspective on the intersection of sports, culture and race, which will undoubtedly create compelling stories that will educate, enlighten and entertain, and we look forward to working with him on this important collaboration.”<br />

<b>A veteran's memorial under threat from protesters is now being protected by retired members of the United States Marine Corps. </b><br />

When rumors began to spread that Antifa members participating in Black Lives Matter protests may be targeting Wilson County Veteran's Memorial in Lebanon, Tennessee, local veterans took a stand, rifles in hand.<br />
<br />
The memorial is now being guarded by armed veterans, in case anyone would think of defacing it or tearing it down.<br />
<br />
A dozen veterans now take turns watching the memorial.<br />

“A show of force can be a very powerful deterrent. We’re not here to fight, unless we have to,” Veteran Keith Sikora told News 2. </blockquote>

“I’m not here to promote violence, I’m not here against any race whatsoever. I’m for all good people and all good things in this country and preserving them,” added Veteran Joe Hester. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
Sikora and Hester both served in the United States Marine Corps and hold the Wilson County Veteran’s Memorial very near to their hearts. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
“It’s a big target because who else gave more for this country than the ones who gave their life, and if youre on the other side and you hate this country, the way they’re portraying the way they hate it, this is the best target to hit,” Sikora said. </blockquote>

“I went and served this country for the country and everybody in it. My marines and I, we’re not black, were not white, Mexican, or Chinese. We all call each other green, different tone of green, but we’re all green. That’s how we were trained that's how we think, that’s the way we are now,” Sikora said. “We don’t stand against any particular race, we stand for them, all of them, unified, and equally. We stand behind the constitution that all men are created equal, and we will fight and die for that.” </blockquote>
<blockquote>
“These people aren’t coming here with just words,” Sikora said.” They are people who are trying to tear down this country, that’s what I stand against.”</blockquote>

<b>CNN may be moving into smaller, more humble surroundings soon.</b><br />
<br />
<a href="https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/cnn-center-sale-warnermedia-att-1234693534/" target="_blank">According to a report by Variety</a>, WarnerMedia is selling the news network's downtown Atlanta headquarters, known as CNN Center. It's been home of CNN since 1987.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
As the media landscape changes, many networks are downsizing, and declining ratings have hurt CNN worse than most.<br />
<br />
Variety reports:<br />
<br />
<i>In a note sent to Atlanta staffers Monday, WarnerMedia Chief Financial Officer Pascal Desroches said the company had been considering what to do with its Atlanta CNN hub even before it was acquired by AT&T in 2018, but put those discussions on hold. “Now that we’ve had time to further evaluate, we’ve concluded that the best course of action is to sell the CNN Center.”</i><br />

<i>Even so, some employees will likely remain at those offices for some time.</i><br />
<br />
The Hollywood Reporter said employees would eventually be moved to its Techwood campus, which is located in the Atlanta area.<br />
<br />
Other outlets are reporting that it is likely that some employees would be let go by CNN as part of the downsizing.<br />

<b>In a cringe-worthy video, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi forgot the name of George Floyd, the victim of police brutality that has sparked nationwide protests and calls for change.</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The incident came during a press briefing by Pelosi, in which she was discussing a Democratic police reform bill currently under consideration.<br />
<br />
Pelosi told reporters that she had spoken to Floyd's brother, who asked if the bill could be named after George. She told him that she would recommend to the Judiciary Committee and the Congressional Black Caucus that his name be added to the bill.<br />
<br />
In her comments to the press (shown in the video below), however, Pelosi slurred her words and forgot George Floyd's name.<br />
<br />
“I said 'I'll recommend that to the Judiciary Committee and to the Congressional Black Caucus who have shaped the bill, but I only will do that if you tell me that this legislation is worthy of George Kirby’s name,' and he said it is, and so we’re very proud, we’re very proud to carry that," she told reporters. She never caught the mistake or corrected herself.<br />

Lapses in speech have been common for the Democrats in recent days, when it comes to George Floyd. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer referred to him as “Floyd Taylor” combining Floyd's name with Breonna Taylor, another victim of police violence. In Schumer's case, however, he caught his mistake and corrected himself.<br />
<br />
The newly-renamed "George Floyd Justice in Policing Act" was passed on Thursday, but is not expected to pass in the Republican-controlled Senate. A GOP-written police reform bill was blocked by Democrats, who refused Sen. Tim Scott's offer to sit down and work on a bipartisan bill.<br />

<b>Actress Rosanna Arquette, who has a history of posting outrageous left-wing rants on her Twitter account, has launched an ugly, race-based attack on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Arquette was upset that Thomas dissented from a Supreme Court ruling that said LGBTQ individuals are protected from job discrimination under federal law.<br />
<br />
Thomas argued the law only protected discrimination against gender, not sexual identity.<br />
<br />
Arquette responded on Twitter by calling him a "pig" and liking a tweet that questioned whether he was black.<br />
<br />
This isn't the first outrageous statement Arquette has made on Twitter. <a href="https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2020/03/17/rosanna-arquette-brings-us-to-the-blame-the-jews-phase-of-the-covid-19-pandemic-screenshot/" target="_blank">In March of this year, Arquette claimed on Twitter that Jews were behind the coronavirus outbreak</a>. She later apologized and claimed she had many Jewish friends, and her comments were misconstrued.<br />

<br />
However, her claim was clear, blaming Israel for withholding a coronavirus vaccine in order to make money. "So Israel has been working on a corona virus vaccine for a year already (so they knew), she tweeted. "Vaccines take a long time to know if they are safe and KUSHNER OSCAR is the major investor in the new vaccine that is supposedly coming here. Lives at risk for profit," she said. Kushner Oscar is an Israeli company working on a vaccine, but it was not working on a vaccine before the outbreak even started.<br />

Last year, <a href="https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2019/08/07/true-confessions-rosanna-arquette-is-disgusted-that-she-was-born-white-and-privileged/" target="_blank">she claimed to be disgusted to be "white and privileged" in another Twitter rant</a>.<br />
<br />
After the Supreme Court ruling was announced Monday morning, Arquette posted a tweet calling Thomas a "pig." Here is a screenshot of the tweet.<br />

<b>An investigation is underway after a Black Lives Matter protester was severely injured when a Confederate statue being pulled down by others fell on him in Portsmouth, Virginia.</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
City officials and law enforcement are now blaming each other for the incident, claiming that no effort to stop the vandalism was made, and someone should have stepped in. Videos of the incident are included below.<br />
<br />
The incident happened late Wednesday night at a monument to the Confederacy in downtown Portsmouth. A protest organized by the local branch of Black Lives Matter gathered around the monument and began taking sledgehammers to it. Ropes were tied to the statues on the monument, and protesters began to pull them down.<br />
<br />
Black Lives Matter leaders claim Chris Green was standing at the base of the monument and trying to keep people away from the falling statue, but it fell on him instead.<br />

A witness told area TV station WAVY "They were pulling on a cord and they had been working at the legs for some time ... and there was a gentleman who was directly in front of the statue" and it "came and fully hit him in the head, and we could see that his skull was actually showing. He was convulsing on the ground. He lost a great amount of blood."<br />
<br />
The most recent update from authorities say Green is still alive at a local hospital, but his injuries are life-threatening and he is in stable condition.<br />

A GoFundMe page has been established to help his family with medical expenses.<br />
<br />
Portsmouth Police Chief Angela Greene is defending her officers, who made no effort to stop the destruction of the monument prior to Mr. Green's injury. She claims she gave no order to officers to stand down and allow the destruction of the monument to continue. However, she says a local elected official told them to allow protesters to keep tearing down the statue.<br />
<br />
“It was a very unfortunate incident that should’ve never escalated to this,” Chief Greene said.<br />

Prior to the injury to Mr. Green, Mayor John Rowe supported allowing protesters to vandalize the statues, calling it a "piece of rock."<br />

<b>Saturday morning, The New York Times published a story claiming former President George W. Bush would not vote to reelect President Donald Trump in the 2020 election this November.</b><br />
<br />
By Monday that story had gone down in flames.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The report by the Times claimed "Former President George W. Bush won't support the re-election of Mr. Trump, and Jeb Bush isn't sure how he'll vote, say people familiar with their thinking."<br />
<br />
The Times story claimed that Trump had lost the support of a number of Republican leaders.<br />
<br />
However, Freddy Ford, the spokesman for former President Bush, told The Texas Tribune in an email statement on Monday that the story was completely fabricated.<br />

<b>A video posted to Twitter shows what happens when you test a police dog. It shows an ANTIFA supporter learning a hard and painful lesson.</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The video, <a href="https://twitter.com/JFNYC1/status/1268324422680797185" target="_blank">posted to Twitter by Joel Fischer</a> and included below, shows a protest in which police with dog units were deployed.<br />
<br />
It is not clear where the protest is taking place, but the video shows an unruly crowd chanting "F--- the police." Many of the protesters are white people dressed in solid black, the preferred motif for many ANTIFA activists.<br />
<br />
Several people are shown taunting the barking police dog, dancing just out of the reach of its leash.<br />
<br />
The camera shifts momentarily, and we hear a scream, only to see what appears to be a young teen being bitten on the rear end by the dog. It appears the teen backed up to taunt the dog and got too close.<br />

The teen eventually gets loose from the dog, with a noticeable hole in his/her pants. The crowd, of course, reacts angrily, as if the attack was unprovoked.<br />

<b>As riots engulf the nation, a handful of Hollywood celebrities are using their wealth to ensure that those arrested for burning and looting cities are bailed out and put back on the streets.</b><br />

<i><b>Warning: The video included in this article is very disturbing.</b></i><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A Dallas man reportedly defending his store from rioters was savagely beaten in a disturbing video posted to Twitter.</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Details on the exact sequence of events that led up to the video are in question, but here is what we know.<br />
<br />
Journalist Elijah Schaffer posted the video to his Twitter account, and says the man used a sword to defend a store from looters. He says looters ran at him, and he charged them.<br />
<br />
He was then surrounded by rioters, who ganged up on him and beat him mercilessly. Even after he no longer posed a threat, and seemed to be unconscious, rioters continued to stomp and kick him. The video sows a rioter taking his phone as he is left in the street with blood on the pavement.<br />
<br />

</script>
</div>
<br />
It is not clear if the man was the owner or an employee of the store. Other video of the incident shows the man chasing rioters, so it is not clear who confronted who first.<br />
<br />
ABC affiliate WFAA reported that he was a "man with a machete" and that he confronted rioters first, but the characterization of a machete seems inaccurate. They offer no proof that he was the aggressor.<br />
<br />
Initial claims on Twitter said the man was dead, but it appears he is currently still alive at a local hospital.<br />
<br />
Here is the video. Be warned: it is violent and disturbing.<br />
<br />

<b>Melvin Carter, the Democratic mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota, is reporting that all of the protesters arrested in his city have been out-of-state agitators. Video of his comments are included below.</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Mayor Carter made the comments Saturday morning during a press conference detailing the protests and riots that broke out in response to the death of George Floyd in nearby Minneapolis at the hands of police officers.<br />
<br />
Because St. Paul had issued a curfew Friday night, very few protesters were on the streets, and arrests were lower than what was seen in other cities were riots overtook many areas.<br />
<br />
Regardless, Mayor Carter said that those who were arrested were all from out-of-state, making clear that those seeking to create chaos are not locals truly protesting the misconduct of the officers that led to Floyd's death.<br />

“Because we had a relative stillness in St. Paul, we didn’t make an enormous number of arrests," Mayor Carter said, "But every single person we arrested last night, I’m told, was from out of state. What we are seeing right now is a group of people who are not from here,” Carter said at a press conference.<br />
<br />
Carter made it clear he does not equate the peaceful protesters with the rioters and looters who seek only to destroy and steal.<br />
<br />
“As I talk to my friends who have been in this movement for a very long time, who wake up in this movement every day, and I ask them what they’re seeing, what they’re feeling, what they’re hearing, to a person," he said. "I hear them say, ‘We don’t know these folks. We don’t know these folks who are agitating. We don’t know these folks who are inciting violence. We don’t know these folks who are first in to break a window.’”<br />
<br />
George Floyd's death, which was caught on video, caused outrage after a police officer placed his knee on his neck for several minutes. Floyd, who was unarmed and offering no resistance, said he couldn't breathe and later died.<br />
<br />
An autopsy revealed the officer's treatment triggered a heart condition that caused Floyd's death.<br />

In nearby Minneapolis, 50 people were arrested Friday after a curfew was announced.<br />
<br />
Out-of-town agitators are not an isolated instance. In New York City, 200 people were arrested, with more than 40 of those turning out to be from outside the city.<br />
<br />
Here is video of the press conference in which Mayor Carter made his remarks. His specific statement about the out-of-state protesters comes at the 5:30 mark.<br />

<b>Two illegal immigrants from Mexico are under arrest in Dallas, accused in a disgusting case of child abuse and neglect involving a six-year-old.</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Esmeralda Lira, 53, and her boyfriend Jose Balderas, 66, are in jail on child abuse charges involving Lira's grandson.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2020/05/12/6-year-old-dallas-boy-found-tied-shed-abuse-sprayed-hose-kicked/" target="_blank">According to an arrest affidavit obtained by KTVT</a>, the CBS affiliate in Dallas, the pair had kept the boy tied up in a shed in their backyard for at least two weeks.<br />
<br />
Police were called to the home, in the Pleasant Grove area of East Dallas, late Sunday night.<br />
<br />

<br />
The boy told officers his grandmother began keeping him tied up in the shed since he “got out of school for this corona thing.” He told officers he was kept in the shed by his grandmother whenever she had to leave, and she would pull him by his ears, kick him, and tell him he was bad. She would bathe him with a water hose in the backyard. He was not allowed to go in the house.<br />
<br />
Police said the child told them the grandmother would give him a plastic bag each morning to use the bathroom in.<br />
<br />
According to police, the shed had rats and insects.<br />
<br />
The 66-year-old boyfriend said he was aware of the abuse but did not intervene.<br />
<br />
Both Lira and Balderas had their bond set at $100,000 each. They face felony charges of endangering a child.<br />
<br />
ICE detainers were also placed on each as both are in the country illegally.<br />

<b>"The Price Is Right" partnered with drag queen RuPaul to raise almost $100,000 for Planned Parenthood during a special prime-time episode of the game show.</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The episode aired Monday night (May 11), and like past prime-time specials, it featured a celebrity guest and raised money for charity. The guest was RuPaul, and the chosen charity was Planned Parenthood. By the end of the episode, host Drew Carey announced that over $92,000 had been raised for America's largest abortion provider.<br />
<br />
RuPaul has a personal connection to Planned Parenthood - his mother once worked at one of the organization's clinics. LifeNews reports that RuPaul once told Marie Claire Magazine “Women in our culture have been so marginalized and so really beaten down. We live in a masculine-dominated culture. How dare some man tell a woman what to do with her body. That is outrageous! Outrageous. As a human, that is a big issue for me that really strikes a chord.”<br />

<b>While the coronavirus pandemic is a real health crisis, CBS News has been caught sensationalizing the situation by staging the response at a Michigan hospital. </b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Cherry Health Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan was featured in a CBS This Morning news segment on Friday, May 1. In it, a line of cars is seen waiting outside of the hospital so local residents could be tested for the COVID-19 virus.<br />
<br />
However, an undercover video from Project Veritas has revealed that the long line of cars was staged for CBS News cameras. The video also shows that hospital workers were told to stand in a coronavirus testing line with real patients in order to make the demand for testing seem greater. "We knew they (CBS News) were coming, (but) had no clue we were going to - like - do fake patients," a nurse is heard saying in the video.<br />
<br />
The video was obtained by Project Veritas from an insider at the hospital, who spoke to them about the situation. The insider claimed the staging was done by the hospital and CBS News personnel. "They faked the news. They faked reality," the insider said.<br />
<br />

Cherry Health CEO Tasha Blackmon denied the accusations to Deadline. “We and CBS News had nothing to do with that line,” she said.<br />
<br />
CBS News is also denying wrongdoing in a statement, claiming they “did not stage anything at the Cherry Health facility. Any suggestion to the contrary is 100% false. These allegations are alarming.”<br />
<br />
However, CBS has acknowledged that Cherry Health did ask hospital staff in stand in a testing line for cameras, but they were not aware of the action until after the allegations arose. They have removed the video of the report from the internet.<br />
<br />
