Confirmed: Memphis Cop Sent Pics of Beaten Tyre Nichols to 'Female Acquaintance'
"A few weeks after five Memphis Police officers administered a fatal beating to Tyre Nichols on Jan. 7, 2023, rumors began circulating that there may have been a personal aspect to the case.
Now, newly released documents sent to a Tennessee state board as part of the decertification process for the five former officers confirm that Demetrius Hall did indeed photograph Nichols after the beating, and he sent the images to at least six people, including “one female acquaintance.”
...The confirmation of a possible personal aspect to the beating is leading some to question the official narrative — that Tyre Nichols was just another unarmed black man murdered by poorly trained, brutal, racist police officers...

Meanwhile, Restoring Sight to Blind People 'Reinforces Moral Superiority of Those Without Disabilities
Meanwhile, Restoring Sight to Blind People 'Reinforces Moral Superiority of Those Without Disabilities"....Let’s begin with the left’s latest insane notion: restoring sight to the blind is yet another example of ableism — the discrimination of and social prejudice against people with disabilities based on the belief that typical abilities are superior — and moreover, disabilities “need no cure.”
...As RedState reported earlier this month, Jimmy Donaldson, more popularly known as “MrBeast,” posted a video to his YouTube channel about how he helped “cure” the blindness of 1,000 people by providing them with free cataract surgery.
Donaldson was promptly both praised and skewered, and on Friday, Tech Crunch contributor Steven Aquino blasted Donaldson as “more ableist than altruistic.”
- Shocked? Me neither. Nothing these wingnuts say or do can surprise me.
Here’s Aquino:
In the broadest lens, the biggest problem with wanting to “cure” blindness is that it reinforces a moral superiority of sorts by those without disabilities over those who are disabled. Although not confronted nearly as often as racism and sexism, systemic ableism is pervasive...

Why 65 Percent of Fourth Graders Can't Really Read - BY RICK MORAN 
"...The pandemic didn’t necessarily cause the problem.
It exposed problems that already existed and were exacerbated because of incompetence and, as it turns out, wrongheaded teaching.
- Consider the fact that 65% of American fourth-grade students can barely read.
This is a result of a radical shift to a new way of teaching children how to read.
What was wrong with the old way?
What was wrong with the old way?
Well, it was old...
- American Public Media reporter Emily Hanford digs into a flawed theory that has shaped reading instruction for decades. The theory is that children can learn to read without learning how to sound out words, because there are other strategies they can use to figure out what the words say.
