Proving A Bad Law Bad

THIS, AS THEY SAY, IS RICH. Or, as they say, you can't make this stuff up. On the very same day that the United States Department of Justice announced the results of its two year investigation into the Louisville, Kentucky Police Department, which is that the LPD has a serious problem with racism, next door, in the great state of Arkansas, the left handed governess signed into law making it a crime to teach "Critical Race Theory" in the state's public schools, punishable by incarceration, termination, or whatever dire fate the Rethuglicans have in mind. Over a long period of time, the LPD has systematically discriminated against black people in making arrests, making accusations, hurling insults, using violence....and so forth. White guy gets restrained, black guy gets beat up. White guy gets cuffed, black guy gets tazed. And so forth. Over, and over again..... The facts plainly indicate this, and the D.O.J. is happy to provide them to anyone interested. In fact, it already has. Now, with regard to "Critical Race Theory", CRT is nothing other than sustained, academic, scholarly research by people at places like Harvard and Princeton which clearly proves that not only does the United States have a racist history, but that racism is alive and well in today's U.S.A. But now, in conservative state after consrvative state, if a teacher dares to point this reality out to students, the poor slobs will end up in prison, or worse. It is now becoming illegal in the land of freedom to teach children the truth about history, and about their country. What is your average social science teacher in Arkansas supposed to do on "current events day", inform the students that what they heard on the news about the federal Department of Justice issuing a scathing report about the Louisville police department is nothing but a false rumor, a lie being told by the liberal media? Welcome to the USF of A., the United States of Fascist America! Many other police departments are currently under investigation by the D.O.J., most notably Memphis and Minneapolis. For the elucidtion of conservatives tempted to enter denial, the U.S. Dept. of Justice did not conduct a "witch hunt", as Trump would say, in Louisville, nor is it staffed by legions of liberal Democrats implementing some alleged Joe Biden aganda of destroying the police. For an excellent explnanation of racism in America today, "Democracy In Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul", by Princetion scholar Eddie Gaude, Jr. is seminal. Five'll get you ten that the same pervasive racism is ultimately found in nearly all, if not all, American cities. The policing profession, like the military profession, quite simply, is very popular among people who are politically conservative. It therefore follows logically that big city police departments, as well as those in small towns, will have a disproportionate number of racists in the force. Amazingly, the more racism valid research reveals within American institutions and throughout American society, the more conservative America will deny its existence, and the more laws they will attempt to pass to make it illegal to acknpwledge the glaring reality of our racist America. Welcome to Hitler's Germany, or Stalin's Russia.
