Ethnic studies mandate based on ‘fundamentally flawed research,’ Penn data scientist says link
"Two academic papers used to justify California’s high school ethnic studies requirement relied on poor statistical methods, according to a University of Pennsylvania data scientist.
...They referred to the studies as “fundamentally flawed” and said the results were “ambiguous” due to a “muddled” experiment.
The two studies, “demonstrate how easy it is in our overheated political environment to subvert statistical analyses for political purposes,” the professors wrote in their Tablet essay.

‘It’s A Huge Problem’: California’s Sky-High Electricity Prices Bring A Shock To Biden’s EV Dreams
- California electricity bills are among the highest in the nation and are set to continue skyrocketing, putting state and national green ambitions in the spotlight.
If prices keep rising, as current projections say they will, electric vehicles will continue to be more expensive than traditional gas-powered cars.

"They pushed the Russian collusion hoax, they pushed the Jussie Smollett hoax, they smeared Justice Kavanaugh as a racist, and they also smeared Nick Sandmann as a white supremacist, and yes, they dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop affair as pure Russian disinformation. With mainstream corporate journalists becoming little more than apologists and cheerleaders for the regime is it time to finally declare the canon of journalistic ethics is dead or no longer operative?" he asked.

'Get back to business': Disney shareholder blasts company for wasting shareholders' money on 'political crusades' - TheBlaze:
A Disney shareholder is speaking out after the Walt Disney Company caved to woke demands and vocally opposed Florida's Parental Rights in Education law.
What are the details?
Speaking with Fox News, shareholder Rob Keating said Disney should return to creating excellent stories — and stay far away from politics.
"Here’s a suggestion for Disney CEO Bob Chapek: Get back to business, that is, excellence in storytelling, and stop wasting shareholders’ money on political crusades that have nothing to do with Disney’s business," Keating said. "We all have the right to have our voices heard on issues, but not on the shareholders’ dime."
