Laura Ingalls Wilder's name pulled from library award over 'stereotypical attitudes' in her popular books

By Nicole Darrah | 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.

Laura Ingalls Wilder's name is set to be removed from a major children's book award after concerns were raised about the "Little House on the Prairie" author's depiction of certain races in the early-to-mid 20th century.

The Association of Library Service to Children's (ALSC) board voted unanimously on Saturday to rename the "Laura Ingalls Wilder Award" as the "Children’s Literature Legacy Award."

A LIBRARY WITHOUT BOOKS? UNIVERSITIES PURGING DUSTY VOLUMES
The association, which took the vote at its board meeting in New Orleans, said the vote "was greeted by a standing ovation by the audience in attendance."
Wilder is best known for her "Little House on the Prairie" novels, which the ALSC has stated "includes expressions of stereotypical attitudes inconsistent with ALSC's core values" based on Wilder's portrayal of black people and Native Americans.
The first award was given to Wilder in 1954. The ALSC, which is based in Chicago, says her work continues to be published and read but her "legacy is complex" and "not universally embraced."

Woman says 'I hate white people' before attacking two passengers on bus: police

By Kathleen Joyce | Fox News

Kimberly Jordan was accused of declaring, “I hate white people” before attacking two passengers on a bus in Maryland on Monday, July 18, 2018.  (Montgomery County Police Department )

A black woman proclaimed  “I hate white people” before attacking two fellow passengers on a bus on Monday in Maryland, police said.

Kimberly Jordan, 24, of Silver Spring, Md., was charged with “racial harassment, obstructing and second-degree assault due to her alleged offensive and physically painful antics,” WJLA reported.

Jordan was on the Ride On bus, Montgomery County’s public transportation system, when she allegedly stared at two passengers and said, “I hate white people.” She then reportedly struck a white female passenger in her face before smacking a white male passenger in his face, police said.

The female passenger suffered scratches on her palms while the male had a “long cut” to his nose.
Jordan fled the scene but officers were able to catch up with her about a quarter of a mile away. She told authorities the female passenger hit first but the bus’ surveillance video showed a different story.

Jordan said she had not taken her medication before the incident but police told her that was not an excuse for her behavior.

“I know,” Jordan responded.

The driver of the bus told officers he saw the incident and heard Jordan say, “I hate white people.”
Jordan has a lengthy arrest record which included theft, destruction of property, domestic violence, assault and burglary charges, according to court documents.

She was slated to appear in court on July 12 for a preliminary hearing.

Teens pistol-whipped pregnant delivery driver, cops say. Armed man heard her screams

The suspects were pistol-whipping the woman outside an Atlanta home when her screams alerted a nearby resident, WSB-TV reported.

Dennis Madaris heard her in distress and left his home to discover her being beaten, Madaris told the news station. “One of them turned around and had a gun in his hand," Madaris said, referring to one of the suspects.

The woman, who’s eight months pregnant, was delivering a pizza Wednesday night, WXIA reported. But no one was at the house when she got there. Then three suspects came behind her — and one of them was armed with a handgun, she told police, the news station reported.

Atlanta Officer Jarius Daugherty says the armed teen began to strike the victim with the weapon and demanded the keys to her car, reported the Atlanta Journal Constitution. She tried unsuccessfully to get away from the suspects by running to a nearby home, police said. The suspects kept assaulting her, authorities said, reported AJC.

That’s when Madaris jumped into action, he said — and the gun didn’t scare him off because he had his own.

"I told them, ‘Drop the gun or I’ll drop you,’ and they threw the gun down and all three of them took off,” Madaris told WSB-TV.

Police say a boy and a girl, both 16, were later caught and arrested on charges of criminal attempt to commit robbery and other offenses. The boy is also charged with having a firearm during the attempted robbery, authorities said, AJC reported. Police are looking for a third suspect, according to WXIA.

Over 500 guns found at convicted felon's California home, officials say

By Ayana Archie and Michelle Rice, CNN

Officials confiscated guns, ammunition, computers and other evidence.

(CNN)The first time the sheriff's department searched one convicted felon's home, they say they found 432 firearms. When they went back a day later, they found another 91 guns hidden in the residence.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in Palmdale responded to a tip from a neighbor of Agua Dulce resident Manuel Fernandez, 60.

Some of the guns found in Agua Dulce.

"This case is a testament to the community's involvement in reducing crime and taking guns out of the hands of criminals," said Sheriff Jim McDonnell.

Fernandez was arrested on charges including being a felon in possession of firearms, possession of an assault rifle, being a felon in possession of ammunition and possession of large capacity magazines, gun accessories that are used to hold up to 100 rounds of ammunition. In California, any magazine that holds more than 10 rounds is considered "large capacity."

California's gun seizure squad finds an arsenal under a bed

Because of Fernandez's criminal record, he should not have been allowed to buy guns, and officials said it is unclear how he acquired the weapons. An investigation has begun that includes the sheriff's department, the California Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which will track where the guns were purchased.

Officials said all the weapons belonged to Fernandez. Detectives also seized computers, cell phones and hard drives they said Fernandez may have used to conduct transactions for the firearms.

Authorities said they also found 30 guns at the home of a female associate of Fernandez. The woman was not at the residence and has not yet been found.

Fernandez is free on bond with a court date scheduled for July.

CNN has reached out to Fernandez's attorney for comment.
