Another Day, Another Fight Against Vax Mandates

Police Union In St. Paul, Minnesota Files Lawsuit Over City Vaccine Mandate (lifezette.com)

I know I keep posting these, and they’re all basically the same. I just want to point out how many there are.

In Minnesota, the St. Paul Police Union is fighting back against the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate with a new lawsuit.

The Star Tribune reported that the union said in a statement that it is “not anti-vaccine, nor are we conspiracy theorists — we are reasonable and dedicated public servants who believe in personal choice.”

It should be a personal choice. I’m vaccinated. My entire family is. I wouldn’t push it on others, as long as they are taking reasonable precautions to prevent the spread of this disease. Also, as treatments become better and better and as we understand more and more about the disease, vaccinations seem much less of a requirement.

Consistency of Thought Is Not a Prominent Trait Among the Far Left

‘Defund The Police’ Advocate Ilhan Omar Now Blames Police For Rising Crime Rates In Minneapolis | The Daily Wire

“What we must also recognize is that the reduction in policing currently in our city, and the lawlessness that is happening is due to two things,” Omar claimed. “One, the police have chosen to not fulfill their oath of office and to provide the public safety they are owed to the citizens they serve, right? It’s documented. But even before that, it was documented. The Minneapolis Police Department is the most dysfunctional police department, in our state and probably in the country.”

Me, I think it’s your efforts to defund the police. That has a devastating effect on morale, and everything follows from taht.

Leftists Really Hate America

John Hindraker over at Power Line Blog details the new standards for K-12 Social Studies being proposed in Minnesota.

Highlights:

Here are some of the things that will no longer be covered in the public school curriculum:

* World War I
* World War II
* The Holocaust
* The Civil War
* The American Revolution
* Communism
* Notable Americans like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson

You may ask, what in God’s name do the standards cover? The usual:

* Systemic racism in the U.S., rooted in our founding
* How freedom and democracy have included or excluded certain groups throughout our history
* Developing a “respectful awareness” of the LGBTQ+ community
* The Reconstruction period, specifically successful efforts to disenfranchise newly freed Black Americans and connecting this history to persistent discrimination and inequity in the present
* An analysis of the ideology of Manifest Destiny and its relationship to whiteness, Christianity, and capitalism

Concerns raised by Minnesota citizens over this proposal have been dismissed as “white supremacy”.

This is what you get when you vote for Democrats.

As the man says, “read the whole thing”.
