Lavonta Lloyd Facebook

JACKSON, Miss. — A Mississippi man and his 1-year-old daughter died Thursday after officials say he kidnapped her, fled from police, and then shot the girl and himself on a Mississippi Delta highway.

Holmes County Sheriff Willie March told The Associated Press that it was the third day this week that 23-year-old Lavonta Lloyd had sought to take the girl from her mother.

“It’s a terrible situation,” March said.

March said Lloyd first took his daughter Kamaya Lloyd from a day care on Monday, but Kamaya was returned to her mother later that evening. Then, on Tuesday, deputies were called when Lloyd resurfaced at the mother’s home in the 400-person town of Cruger, about 70 miles north of Jackson.

Deputies chased Lloyd down some railroad tracks but lost his trail after he escaped into a cornfield.

March said deputies were called off the search because someone escaped from the county’s jail.

March confirmed that the mother is Kimberly Outlaw, who filed a domestic violence petition Monday against Lloyd in Holmes County Chancery Court. A judge didn’t hear the case before Lloyd’s death. March said he didn’t know if Lloyd knew Outlaw was pursuing charges.

On Thursday, Outlaw’s mother called March early in the morning to say Lloyd was holding Outlaw at gunpoint. March said Lloyd fled Cruger before deputies arrived, but after he reportedly fired shots
. No one was injured.

That set off a 30-mile chase, as deputies pursued Lloyd across three counties in the flatlands of the Mississippi Delta. Before reaching a roadblock, Lloyd’s truck veered off the road and into a deep ditch near Moorhead, in Sunflower County.

March said deputies couldn’t see the truck because of the ditch and the truck’s tinted windows. A shield was brought to the scene to protect deputies, March said, but when they broke open the driver’s side window, they found Lloyd and the girl dead.

“The baby was on top of him and had been shot,” Leflore County Sheriff Ricky Banks, whose deputies also took part in the chase, told The Greenwood Commonwealth.

Police records show Lloyd was arrested twice in Jackson on domestic violence charges in 2016 and 2017, but a preliminary search of court records there turned up no convictions.

Ready for kindergarten? Florida's new test found many youngsters were not

The percentage of Florida youngsters deemed ready for kindergarten plummeted last year, thanks to a new test that tripped up many 5-year-olds.Leslie PostalContact ReporterOrlando Sentinel

The percentage of Florida youngsters deemed ready for kindergarten plummeted last year, thanks to a new test that tripped up many 5-year-olds.

About 54 percent of the students who started kindergarten in public schools in August 2017 were ready for school, according to the test results recently released by the Florida Department of Education.

Four years earlier, 72 percent of new kindergartners were ready, based on another test used to determine literacy skills.

The low passing rate on the new test upset early-childhood educators across Central Florida and the state. They doubt its accuracy. They fear students struggled in part because it was an online test and they were unfamiliar with working on a computer with a mouse. And they are angry because their state-funded pre-kindergarten programs are judged on how former students did on the new kindergarten-readiness test.

“I was shocked. I was beyond shocked,” said Cindy Seda, who owns A Tot’s World III in Winter Springs.


“We have always been very, very proud of our quality,” said Seda, whose Seminole County center has had the same pre-K teacher for 21 years. “I was never concerned the children leaving our center were ready for kindergarten.”

But the percentage of her former students who passed the kindergarten test was 60 percent this past year — down from nearly 90 percent in prior years
Seda’s center just met Florida’s new pre-K requirements, which were adopted this spring and require a 60 percent “readiness rate.”

Across Florida, however, 43 percent of the more than 6,000 schools and daycare centers that offer Florida Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Program, or VPK,, failed to meet the new standard. This year, the state imposed no consequences on pre-k providers whose students fell short on the new test, but in coming years they could face probation and then removal from the state program.

Florida’s pre-K program is publicly funded but mostly contracted out to private preschools and childcare centers, though some public schools take part, too. The program is free to all 4-year-olds, with more than 163,000 students enrolled this past year.

Florida had not given a literacy test to new kindergarten students since 2013 because of problems with its previous exam, which was also given on computer. The state also didn’t rate its pre-K providers during those four years.

It gave its new kindergarten test — Star Early Literacy — for the first time in August. In late May, it published the rates on a website parents can use to search for pre-K programs.

“The public will judge you on that, whether it is fair or not,” Seda said.

The state’s Office of Early Learning, which oversees the pre-K program, called the new test a “starting point from which we can set higher expectations” and said lower scores with a new test are not surprising. It noted that youngsters who took part in the state pre-K program had a 64 percent passing rate — about 10 percentage points better than that of all new kindergartners.

The state’s education department also defended the 27-question test, saying it is meant for young children and does not require them to have prior computer skills, assessing their ability to navigate through the questions before allowing them to begin.

But many remain skeptical, questioning why the results this year would be so much worse than from several years ago.

“I keep asking the question, What does it mean to be ready for school?” said Karen Willis, chief executive officer of the Early Learning Coalition of Orange County, one of the local groups that helps oversee state-funded pre-K programs. “That shouldn’t waver from test to test.”

An online petition started by a preschool principal in Broward County asks Gov. Rick Scott to remove the new results from the state website. “Our programs and schools do prepare children for kindergarten and the world JUST not your assessment,” reads the petition on change.org that has 427 signatures.

“The readiness rate was really not done fairly this year,” agreed Carol Foo, executive director of Conway Learning Center in Orange County.

Her school had an 87 percent readiness rate four years ago. It fell to 63 percent this year.

Like many preschools, the Conway center does not have children spend time working at a computer and manipulating a mouse. Young students who do use technology, she and others said, are more familiar with tablets and smartphones, which they can touch and swipe.

The Orange County school district, which offers the state’s pre-K program at about 80 elementary schools, was upset by the low scores this year, too, said Meg Bowen, director of elementary curriculum and instruction.

State law requires the readiness test to be given within the first 30 days of school, and many kindergarten teachers administer it almost as soon as classes start. In the coming year, Bowen said, they’ll first spend time making sure their new students are comfortable working with a computer and a mouse. That will help administrators see if the problem was the technology — or the test itself.

Since its inception in 2005, educators have questioned the Florida law that required pre-K providers to be judged on how their graduates do on a kindergarten readiness test.

They argue such a system doesn’t take into account what skills children had when they started pre-K, making it hard to gauge whether preschools helped their students. They don’t like that it is given at the start kindergarten, months after pre-K programs end, so some student skills are lost over the summer. Finally, they note that Florida’s academic standards for pre-K describe play-based learning, where students gain early reading and math skills but also grow socially, express their creativity and explore.

The readiness test, however, focuses solely on literacy skills.

“What we taught them is not being captured,” said Lesha Buchbinder, executive director of the Early Learning Coalition of Lake County.

Kino Jimenez a San Antonio man is fired from his bartending job after video shows him assaulting a teen wearing a Make America Great Again hat at a local Whataburger joint.

Going viral is video of an incident which took place at San Antonio, Texas fast food outlet, Whataburger– which saw a teen being verbally attacked and assaulted on account of him wearing the infamous President Trump campaign hat, Make America Great Again (MAGA).

In the video (see below), a man is seen throwing a drink at a 16 year old teen wearing the red MAGA cap’s face, after having verbally accosted him. From there the individual, since identified as 30 year old man, Kino Ahuitzotl Jimenez by social media users, grabs the MAGA wearing boy’s hair before walking out of the fast food outlet with the hat, mouthing off, ‘this is gonna go great in my fucking fireplace, bixch’. 

Told the violated teen, Hunter Richard via news4santonio, ‘I support my President and if you don’t let’s have a conversation about it instead of ripping my hat off. I just think a conversation about politics is more productive for the entire whole rather than taking my hat and yelling subjective words to me’.

Which is a backhand way of saying, if society wants to propagate the notion that it lives in a civil democratic society (if only…) then it ought to also be prepared to accept views, sensibilities and actions that it might also disagree with, even be offended by.

According to the victim, the incident happened while the 16 year old teen was with friends at the fast food outlet off Nacogdoches and Thousand Oaks, Tuesday night when he was suddenly approached by Kino Jimenez. Howard insisted the attack was unprovoked.

‘I didn’t think it was going to generate the amount like what people are doing, I was looking at the comments by some people and “ they are like this is uncalled for” and other people are like mixed opinions but I didn’t think it would blow up to what it is now,’ the roughed up boy said. 

But it gets better.

Pictured, Kino Jimenez

No love lost for Kino Jimenez….

Kino Jimenez employer responds to viral video:

Following the cellphone video going viral, and the assaulter being identified as Kino Jimenez, a local San Antonio bartender, the man’s employer, Rumble San Antonio, last night posted a Facebook post telling of the man being fired.
Wrote Rumble: ‘It came to our attention earlier this evening that a part-time employee was captured on cell phone video assaulting another person at a local eatery. The assault took place, presumably, because this employee did not agree with the other individuals political stance.’
‘We have since terminated this employee, as his actions go against everything that this establishment stands for.’
‘Rumble has, and always will be, a bar that is as inclusive as any establishment could possibly be. THIS BAR IS A SAFE SPACE FOR EVERYONE! No matter your race, creed, ethnicity, sexual identity, and political stance, you are welcomed here!’
‘We do not condone the actions or behavior that were displayed in the cell phone video, and we never will.’
‘If you have any questions or concerns please message us privately. We support and appreciate your business.’

But it may not just end there, with news of a police report having been filed….

Courtesy of all the riled up social media users, it has since been revealed (brace yourselves….) Kino Jimenez is member of the Green Party of Texas according to their website. The group’s ‘key values’ include; nonviolence, respect for diversity, and social justice. Or maybe not….?

Principal refuses to allow first black valedictorian to give speech, so Rochester mayor intervenes

 

 

Jaissaan Lovett says he was denied a chance to give his speech as his high school's first black valedictorian, so his city's mayor invited him to give it at City Hall.

When Jaissaan Lovett graduated last month as his high school's first black valedictorian, he prepared a speech — but he says his principal wouldn't let him give it. So someone else stepped in who wanted to hear what he had to say: the mayor of Rochester, New York, Lovely Warren. Not only that, she gave him a much wider audience for his message.

Lovett, a new graduate of Rochester's University Preparatory Charter School for Young Men, was planning on encouraging his classmates and thanking his parents, siblings and teachers, according to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle newspaper. He also acknowledged some past run-ins with the principal over student protests.

Lovett said he was never asked to give a graduation speech, though past valedictorians had gotten to, according to the newspaper. When he asked to speak anyway, he said the principal, Joseph Munno, said no.

"He didn't want to see the speech or what it said, nothing," Lovett told the Democrat and Chronicle. "He just said no." The paper said Munno declined to comment.

Mayor Warren invited Lovett, who works in her office as an intern, to deliver the speech at City Hall. She then posted it on her YouTube channel and Facebook page.

"Unfortunately, Jaisaan's school did not allow him to give his valedictorian speech," Warren said in the video. "For some reason, his school – in a country where freedom of speech is a constitution right, and the city of Frederick Douglass – turned his moment of triumph into a time of sorrow and pain.

"Jaisaan will never graduate from high school again. He will never get that moment back. This is not the time to punish a child because you may not like what he has to say."

Lovett had his own message for his principal, too.

"I'm here as the UPrep 2018 valedictorian to tell you that you couldn't break me. I'm still here, and I'm still here strong," Lovett said in the video. "And after all these years, all this anger I've had toward you and UPrep as a whole, I realized I had to let that go in order to better myself."

The school's board of trustees responded to the controversy in a Facebook post, saying they're "aware of the concern" and will be "reviewing the circumstances regarding what happened." They wished Lovett "much success as he continues his education at Clark Atlanta University, which he will attend on full scholarship, according to the Democrat and Chronicle.

Comedian Michelle Wolf Compares Ivanka Trump to 'Herpes': 'Very Unpleasant, Totally Incurable'

 Tierney McAfee,People EN ESPAÑOL Tue, Jul 3 12:22 PM CDT

Two months after she came under fire for her White House Correspondents’ Dinner jokes about Sarah Huckabee Sanders, comedian Michelle Wolf is doubling down on her criticism of the Trump administration, this time taking aim at first daughter Ivanka Trump.

On her Netflix show The Break this week, Wolf, 33, said she agreed with Rep. Maxine Waters’ recent suggestion that Trump officials should be publicly confronted. And the comedian shared some very specific ideas for critics who may come face-to-face with President Trump‘s elder daughter and adviser.

“You can’t just casually harass these people, you have to insult them specifically,” Wolf said. “ ‘You’re a c–t’ doesn’t hurt them. It’s on their vision board.”

Pretending to address Ivanka, 36, Wolf said: “Is your nickname herpes? Because you’re not necessarily the most dangerous person in the administration but you’re very unpleasant, totally incurable and you always show up when we’re about to get f–ked.”

Wolf also compared Ivanka to the birth control pill Yaz, saying, “At first it seemed like it’d be really cool and helpful, but you need to be immediately recalled.”

The comedian then suggested calling Ivanka “Tiffany,” the name of her younger and less publicly visible half-sister.

“If you see Ivanka on the street, first call her Tiffany. This will devastate her,” Wolf said. “Then, talk to her in terms she will understand. Say, ‘Ivanka, you’re like vaginal mesh. You were supposed to support women, but now you have blood all over you and you’re the center of a thousand lawsuits.’ ”
In an article on Monday, Fox News condemned Wolf’s comments as a “vulgar attack” against the first daughter.

Some people on Twitter agreed that Wolf’s remarks were out of line, while others applauded the comedian for “not backing down.

Wolf’s comments come amid an internal debate among Democrats about how aggressively to confront the president and members of his administration.

After White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was recently asked to leave the Lexington, Virginia, restaurant the Red Hen because she works for Trump, Rep. Waters urged attendees at a rally to keep “push[ing] back” against members of the Trump administration with similar confrontations.

“If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” she said.

Some Democrats reacted by seeking to distance themselves from Waters’ remarks, while Trump and other conservatives strongly condemned her comments and made calls for “civility.” But those calls were quickly criticized as hypocritical in light of the president’s own habit of verbally attacking his enemies.

 

  Wolf faced some backlash in April after she mocked Sanders at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, saying “she burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye.” New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman, MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski and others faulted Wolf for what they perceived to be cracks about Sanders’ appearance.

But Wolf refused to apologize, and insisted her remarks had nothing to do with Sanders’ looks.
“All these jokes were about her despicable behavior,” Wolf said at the time.

Was James Baldwin right when he called white Americans moral monsters?

In 1979, the legendary writer James Baldwin began work on a manuscript examining his relationships with Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. He never finished it. In 2017, filmmaker Raoul Peck used Baldwin’s words as the foundation for his riveting masterpiece “I Am Not Your Negro.” 

Peck’s entire film is captivating, but one segment in particular ceaselessly haunts me. The meditative voice of narrator Samuel L. Jackson deliberately carries us through one of Baldwin’s most damning reflections on a good percentage of white Americans, “I’m terrified at the moral apathy – the death of the heart which is happening in my country. These people have deluded themselves for so long that they really don’t think I’m human. I base this on their conduct, not on what they say. And this means that they have become, in themselves, moral monsters.” 

As he did throughout his life, Baldwin raises difficult but necessary questions with which we must wrestle. Why are so many white Americans so brutally mean and inhumane? Why do so many others feel comfortable justifying or excusing it? Why do others still, who claim “not to think that way,” find it acceptable to say little and do even less? Make no mistake, there are certainly whites who stand in the tradition of William Lloyd Garrison, John Brown and others. However, reasonable people must admit they are the exceptions, not the rules.  

To be sure, no matter how sensibly and dispassionately one approaches the subject, many whites immediately paint them as angry black people, [reverse] racists, or maniacs. Despite that, while far too many cower and equivocate, other brave Americans continue to raise the issue in the public sphere. A small sample of important work over the last few years includes Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “The First White President” in the Atlantic, Charles Blow’s “The Lowest White Man” in the New York Times, Rose Marie Berger’s rumination “Why are white people so mean?” and Michael Harriot’s recent sledgehammer piece, “White people are cowards” in The Root. 

All of these writers along with stalwart academics like Duke University’s William “Sandy” Darrity, Emory University’s Carol Anderson and others contextualize the subject and push back against the emerging narrative that white American mean-spiritedness appeared and apexed with the ascension of Donald Trump. That is a lie. The truth is none of this is new. Its genesis is actually rooted in times long before America’s current anti-black and brown immigrant president’s family immigrated to the country.

Voter fraud is a canard. Voter suppression, however, is real and is not new. It has been around since the limiting of the franchise to property-holding white men at the beginning of the country’s political story. Forcing the extension of it to others has always been a struggle. 

Traumatizing families and children of color is not new. White Americans enslaved blacks, raped black women, demonized black men, ripped black children from their parents, sold them all when profitable, visited any number of other inexcusable atrocities upon them ... and justified it all. Those who resisted were threatened, punished or killed. Once slavery ended, whites continued to glorify slavery and the Confederacy with flags, statues, monuments and political candidates who reaffirmed all the nastiness and death. They still do.

The Supreme Court’s support of such indecency is not new. Remember Dred Scott and many other legal blows to decency and democracy.

That only scratches the surface. Native American genocide, black codes, grandfather clauses, poll taxes, intimidation, disproportionate incarceration, convict leasing, Jim Crow, Japanese American internment, police murder of black men, women and children often without consequence. None of it is new. It is the continuation of a long-standing pattern and, as Congresswoman Maxine Waters advised, resistance needs to be fomented. 

Medgar Evers was slain in 1963, Malcolm X in 1965, and Martin Luther King in 1968. James Baldwin passed in 1987. None of them ever experienced Donald Trump, but all witnessed omnipresent American white supremacy and meanness. Maybe Baldwin was right when he said we are dealing with “moral monsters.” It is hard to say at this point. If that is the case, we need to be clear about it. Such an acknowledgment would lower the expectation that many of our white brothers and sisters will be inclined to make decisions based on human decency rather than economic and political calculations or privilege maintenance. At least that honesty would eradicate the lies and pretense.  

If America continues on this path (and there is no historical or contemporary evidence that it will not), maybe Emma Lazarus’ words famously associated with the Statue of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” should be replaced with a paraphrasing of Dante, “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here ... unless ye be white.”  

Sick and tired watching so called "men" sit back and complain about the world but do nothing.

Do you really think that we want to hear about it from you while YOU do nothing? LOL

'Boys will be boys' sweatshirt pulled from stores after being accused of sending a 'sexist' message

Scroll back up to restore default view.

Australian sleepwear brand Peter Alexander has pulled a “boys will be boys” children’s sweatshirt from its stores following backlash from parents saying the slogan had sexist connotations.
Melbourne mother Bridie Harris noticed the boys’ gray pajama top while out shopping last week and took to social media to complain.

“Boy won’t be boys,” she wrote on the Peter Alexander Sleepwear Facebook page. “Boys will be held accountable for their actions.

“I hate to see an Australian store, who makes such great PJs, put such a sexist statement on a T-shirt intended for young boys. Excusing boys of their behavior is not a step in the right direction. It’s 2018.”

She said the slogan promoted a culture that allows men “to get away with stuff” because of their gender.

“It gives them an excuse for inappropriate behavior,” Harris said in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper. “If a girl hurts someone or does something, you never hear someone that says girls will be girls.
“As kids, I get it’s little tiny things, like rough play, but it sets [them] up for a culture where they can get way with anything. I thought it was a long-resolved discussion.”
Harris’s views were echoed by many other people on social media who agreed the children’s sweatshirt also struck them as offensive.

One woman called the top “cringe worthy,” while another said she was “so disappointed that this is something that [the brand] would promote for children.”

However, many accused Harris of being overly sensitive and did not see a problem with the top.

“Omg why get rid of it!” one commenter wrote. “There is nothing wrong with a old saying. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.”

Another mother said she was disappointed she could not buy the top for her boys.

“I would like to buy the ‘boys will be boys’ PJs,” she wrote. “I have two boys and would like them to know that’s it’s OK to be boys.”

“The pajamas don’t say, ‘I’m a boy, I’ll go punch another boy or harass someone and that is okay because I am a boy,’” read another comment.

“ Boys WILL be boys!” one man wrote. “Making boys feel like they can’t be boys anymore because apparently it’s part of rape culture and they all turn into murderers and rapists anyway.”

A Peter Alexander Sleepwear spokesperson responded to the thread, confirming the brand’s decision to remove the item from its stores.  

“Hi Bridie. I  just wanted to update you and again thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us and bringing this to our attention,” the post began. “We do not tolerate the behavior that is being associated with this slogan. In light of your feedback, we have decided to withdraw this item from sale.”

Peter Alexander Sleepwear has been contacted for comment.

If they keep erasing history ( statues, names of shools, books)......than they need to erase ALL history.

Yep....NOTHING bad happened to ANYONE.


There, I did it...... it is all gone !!!


Now everyone shut the hell up and start over.

Sick and tired of whining but people who don't even know the facts.

History is gone.... now act like an adult.

Do we have to erase the name of Laura Ingalls Wilder to ‘fix’ history? And who will be next?

By Karol Markowicz | Fox News

A division of the American Library Association has voted to remove Laura Ingalls Wilder's name from a major children's book award.

Should writers who wrote long ago, describing life in the past, be held to 21^st century standards of political correctness? The question has arisen many times – most recently about Laura Ingalls Wilder, who was born in 1867 and died in 1957. She is best known for writing the “Little House on the Prairie” children’s books, which became the basis for a popular TV series that aired in the 1970s and 80s.

In recent years, the question of judging past writing by today’s standards has come up dealing with Mark Twain’s use of a racist term for black people in “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” claims that Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” was anti-Semitic, and hostility that Ernest Hemingway expressed toward homosexuals. It also came up with many other examples of works of literature that perpetuated negative stereotypes about women and just about every minority group – stereotypes that many people find offensive today.

The Association of Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, voted Saturday to rename its Laura Ingalls Wilder Award. The award had previously “honored an author or illustrator whose books, published in the United States, have made, over a period of years, a significant and lasting contribution to children's literature through books.” After Wilder’s name was removed from the award the line “that demonstrate integrity and respect for all children's lives and experiences” was added to that description.

Presumably, Wilder had failed to demonstrate integrity and respect for all children’s lives and experiences in her books written about 19th century America.

Wilder’s name was stripped from the award because her work contains “expressions of stereotypical attitudes inconsistent with ALSC’s core values of inclusiveness, integrity and respect, and responsiveness,” the association said.

Do we want a revisionist history of how groups were targeted for discrimination in the past? Or do want literature that holds up a mirror to the past and reflects the reality of the time – even when the reality was harsh and ugly?

Wilder’s “Little House on the Prairie” series of books for children were about her upbringing on the frontier. The books tell a story of a family’s survival in a new and harsh world. The Ingalls family worried about having enough food. They buried children. They spoke and acted like many other people did in the 1800s.

Wilder did not gloss over her family’s interactions with Native Americans or African-Americans. Both these groups were the victims of racism and racist stereotypes. Wilder described the world as it was – just as Mark Twain described the racism of the time and the horrors of slavery in “Huckleberry Finn.”

Do we want a revisionist history of how groups were targeted for discrimination in the past? Or do want literature that holds up a mirror to the past and reflects the reality of the time – even when the reality was harsh and ugly?

Wilder’s books reflected reality.

Even the American Library Association acknowledges that Wilder’s books were not at all controversial when she wrote them in the 1900s.

“Her works reflect mainstream, although certainly not universal, cultural attitudes toward Indigenous people and people of color during the times in which she lived and during the era in which the award was established,” the association said of Wilder. But it added that concern that her books “have been deeply painful to many readers” is too great.

The only disadvantage the ALSC could find with changing the name of the award was that in changing it, it would have to publicly reference Wilder’s name, which might upset people.
“The disadvantage in changing the name is that the old name (the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award), which has painful associations for many, must continue to be referenced by ALSC in the interest of communication and transparency regarding the change,” the association said.

The association apparently never considered that it was venturing on the slippery slope of redacting history. History is filled with far greater monsters than Laura Ingalls Wilder. If the group can’t even mention her name, what other names must the group erase from history?

As Amelia Hamilton notes on the Red State website: “It will now simply be called the Children’s Literature Legacy Award, probably because every single person they could think of is problematic, or will be at some point in the future.”

If we continue to impose our modern-day sensibilities on historical figures we’ll eventually fail to celebrate any of them. No one will be woke enough; everyone will need to be erased. Laura Ingalls Wilder is just the latest to go.

Teens ran over elderly woman, then ‘dined and dashed’ at Denny’s: cops

Two Texas teenagers are accused of running over an elderly woman after her decomposing body was found inside her Houston garage.

Police said they received a call on Friday that a strange smell was coming from inside Clara Jeanne Barna’s garage. When they searched the home, officials found the 75-year-old woman’s body decomposing, and her 2003 Buick LeSabre was missing.

A search for the missing vehicle led police to target David Paul Jones and Teijhon “T.J.” Shannon, both 17, who they said took the car while attempting to do a “dine and dash” at a local Denny’s restaurant.

According to police, on June 17 the teenagers were reportedly confronted by owners of a stolen pickup truck at the parking lot of a nearby fast food restaurant. After the owners accused the teens of stealing the vehicle, they fled the eatery on foot.

The duo ran through nearby neighborhoods before spotting Barna near her vehicle.

Police said the woman got out to close her garage door when the teenagers approached her, grabbed her and violently took her keys. Shannon reportedly held down Barna while Jones backed out of the driveway, running over Barna and Shannon in the process.

Barna suffered major injuries including a fractured skull and broken back. Shannon suffered injuries to his legs, however, was able to help pull Barna back into the garage before the teenagers fled in her car.

On June 20 – two days before police found Barna’s body – surveillance video showed two males entering a Denny’s restaurant near the woman’s home after parking a similar Buick at the eatery.

Employees told ABC 13 that the teens ordered about $50 worth of food and then tried to “dine and dash.” The teenagers reportedly asked the manager not to call the cops and tried to bribe him with a cellphone.

Police say the manager wrote down the license plate, which they described as a “valuable clue” in connecting the teenagers to Barna’s death, the Houston Chronicle reported. The newspaper said it’s unclear whether the manager called the cops.

Jones was arrested by police on Saturday, June 23 and Shannon was arrested on Monday. The two teenagers reportedly confessed their roles in Barna’s murder. They were both charged with capital murder.

PIEDMONT, SC (FOX Carolina) - The Greenville County Sheriff's Office said they have charged two men in connection with human remains found at a home last week.

Deputies recovered the remains in an investigation into the disappearance of Stacy Davidson Carmack, who was last seen on Oakvale Drive between May 28 and 29.

Investigators with the Greenville County Violent Crimes Unit said they have reason to think foul play is involved in her disappearance. Carmack is a resident of Anderson County, but she was last seen in Greenville County so the case is under Greenville County deputies' jurisdiction.

On Friday, the Greenville County Coroner's Office was called to a home on Oakvale Drive in relation to the case. The coroner said human remains were discovered at the address.

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office also said forensic evidence was being collected at the home.
The Greenville County Coroner's Office confirmed the remains belong to 45-year-old Stacy Carmack, however her cause and manner of death are still pending investigation.

Deputies announced Monday that 60-year-old Charles Alexander Dogan was charged in connection with the case. Dogan is accused of burning Carmack's body at the home he shares with his brother, Tony Nolan Dogan.

According to arrest warrants, Charles Dogan is accused of also lying and providing misleading statements to investigators. The warrant states the remains were moved from the home to an unknown location to conceal the death.

Charles Dogan is charged with desecration of human remains, criminal conspiracy and obstruction of justice. He has been taken into custody at the Greenville County Detention Center.

Tony Dogan has been charged with criminal conspiracy and obstruction. He was arrested later on Monday. At a hearing Monday night, Tony Dogan's bond was set at $15,000 for the charges. Dogan will be under house arrest and have a GPS ankle monitor as a condition of his bond.

The death remains under investigation and the human remains are being examined by the medical examiner.

FAYETTEVILLE, NC (AP) - A North Carolina woman has been arrested and is accused of trying to poison her two sons with cream soda laced with lighter fluid.
The Fayetteville Observer reports 34-year-old Octavia Latosh Robinson of Fayetteville has been charged with two counts each of distributing food containing noxious or deleterious material and misdemeanor child abuse.
At a court appearance Tuesday, Robinson asked a judge to terminate her parental rights. The newspaper reports she later began yelling and cursing during the hearing in the Cumberland County jail.
Judge Beth Keever said it was too soon to decide on parental rights and asked that the public defender's office represent the woman. Keever also ordered a psychiatric evaluation.
She's accused of giving the poisoned soda to her 6-year-old and 10-year-old sons Sunday. One of the boys tasted it and they went to a neighbor, who called police. The boys were released from a hospital.

NBA legend Oscar Robertson received the Lifetime Achievement Award on Monday night during the NBA Awards show in California and used his platform to praise players for their social activism.

Robertson, 79, said he was happy to see LeBron James and other NBA stars take a stance on societal issues and called on white athletes to follow in their footsteps, according to ESPN.

“I think that as people evolve, and things are changing so much in the world with social media and whatnot, these people are young people who have families," Robertson said. "They've seen some injustice in the streets or wherever it might be, it might be almost anywhere, and they're stepping up. But the only thing that really bothers me is ‘where are the white athletes’ when this is happening?”
Robertson added that injustices in the world weren’t just a “black athlete problem” and that there appears to be a “system where you don’t want players to say anything at all.”
Robertson, a 12-time All-Star point guard and former MVP, grew up in a segregated housing project in Indianapolis. He said during his playing time players couldn’t speak out like they could now.
“But now I hope they all, the whites and the blacks get together. Even with the football. What do you think is going to happen when the union gets involved with the owners?” he
