    MLK's memory is honored by demonstrators calling for the passage of voting rights bill.
    NPR (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 76% • 3 min read

    On Monday morning in Washington, D.C., members of the King family led hundreds of demonstrators on a march across the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge. The group continued their two-mile Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Walk through the city, until reaching Union Station where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other lawmakers spoke during a press conference.
    ...
    The group specifically called on West Virginia's Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, who is stringently opposed to ending the filibuster, to vote on the [John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act] and "fix the filibuster."
    ...
    President Biden and congressional Democrats are trying to pass the Lewis Act this week. To do so, they are attempting to scrap the filibuster, a procedural rule that requires a 60-vote threshold to bring legislation up for debate. But they face serious opposition from members of their own party who don't want to see changes to the filibuster, as well as from Republicans.

891 votes, 136 comments

Context: Glenn Youngkin attempts to ban critical race theory in public education on first day as Virginia governor.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - True critical race theory is a method of studying history used most often in university academic settings. It has been completely co-opted and politicized and, as a result, can no longer be effectively used at a high school level. It’s also completely unnecessary to change the way we teach about history in public schools. It’s time for parents, educators, administrators and curriculum producers to find another way to change the way we teach and talk about US History in American public schools.


No - The purpose of education is to encourage critical thinking in addition to basic literacy and math. Theories all require careful exploration and questioning of their factual basis. If...



Unsure - First you need to define what critical race theory is and what...
