Wisconsin school superintendent Dr. Claude Tiller Jr. recently resigned from his position after comments calling his jurisdiction “lily” white and referring to a district principal as a “bitch.”
Tiller was on an Atlanta radio show, “Relationship Talk with Dr. Adrienne,” on WAOK, to talk about the challenges facing public education. During a break, in a hot mic moment, he was heard referring to a district teacher as a “bitch” while the show’s webcam was still broadcasting.
While his district is 40% white, 31% Hispanic, 9% black, and 8% Asian, Tiller bemoaned that 90% of his teachers were white. He was in Atlanta to recruit more teachers of color.
Tiller also took time during the interview to insult the community that elevated him to one of the highest levels in his field, saying, “The mindset in Green Bay, Black and brown folks, it’s almost like stepping back in time. So I have to go debunking some micro-aggressions before I even go into.”
When the show’s host characterized the town’s racial makeup as “lily white,” he doubled down, saying, “A lily on top of a lily.”
According to Spectrum News 1, Tiller also told the audience his reaction to moving to Green Bay was, “I said, Lord, I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go to no white district.”

A report published on February 14 revealed that the Chinese Communist Party is continuing to target and enslave Uyghurs through an expansion of forced labor in China. Published by The Jamestown Foundation and authored by Beijing-banned academic Adrian Zenz, the report concluded, “Xinjiang currently operates the world’s largest system of state-imposed forced labor.”
The atrocities that the Chinese Communist Party perpetrates against members of ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang have come to light in recent years, including mass imprisonment of more than 1 million civilians, forced sterilization, separation of children from their families, torture, abuse, restrictions on religious freedom, and forced labor.
While most of China is composed of the Han ethnic group, more than half of the population of the northwestern region of Xinjiang consists of ethnic minorities (predominately Muslim Uyghurs) – who the Party has long sought to control.
In 2021, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo determined that the Chinese Communist Party was committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang – a determination that Secretary of State Antony Blinken upheld.
Though the horrific methods the Party wields to subjugate these minority groups vary, the objective remains the same.
“It’s a strategy of control and assimilation,” Zenz told The New Yorker. “And it’s designed to eliminate Uyghur culture.”
Forced labor systems in Xinjiang – punishable by detention for non-compliance – are a key part of removing resistance and opposition to the CCP’s absolute authority and power. In his report, Zenz pointed to two dominant systems used to target Uyghurs and other ethnic groups in Xinjiang.
In one system, detainees in China’s infamous re-education camps received coercive skills training before receiving coercive work placement. Detainees who were viewed as less problematic received a sentence of forced labor, while others, such as prominent business and intellectual figures, were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
Though it appears this system is no longer active, Zenz noted that the Chinese Communist Party is instead expanding its “Poverty Alleviation Through Labor Transfer” program. Zenz described this policy as “a non-internment state-imposed forced labor mobilization system.”
A Chinese academic research report, the Nankai Report, described the re-education camps as a “drastic short-term measure” and the labor transfers as a long-term “method to reform, meld and assimilate” Uyghurs.
But the bottom line is clear. “Xinjiang’s recent policy changes have rendered forced labor less visible and more challenging to conceptualize,” Zenz wrote. “Uyghur forced labor is becoming both more prevalent and more insidious.”
The United States must take notice of these findings that disguise coerced labor as voluntary.
In 2021, Congress passed into law the bipartisan Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. The law prohibits goods made by the Chinese Communist Party’s forced labor programs from entering the U.S. market. However, numerous products tied to slave labor continue to evade legal protections and arrive in American households.
Chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP Rep. Mike Gallagher and Ranking Member Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi wrote a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas that outlined some of the key challenges to effectively enforcing this consequential law.
First, the members wrote, “Companies transfer forced laborers from [Xinjiang] to other regions in the People’s Republic of China, complicating [U.S. Department of Homeland Security] enforcement of the presumptive ban on forced labor products from [Xinjiang].” Additionally, “A second factor undermining enforcement of the [law] is Beijing’s increased transshipment of forced labor products to the United States through third countries.”
Last week, to further augment and strengthen U.S. efforts in the fight against human rights abuses in Xinjiang, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the bipartisan and bicameral Uyghur Policy Act. This legislation, led by Rep. Young Kim, will authorize the State Department to appoint a Special Coordinator for Uyghur issues, direct the U.S. Agency for Global Media to distribute information on Uyghur genocide, and authorize support for Uyghur human rights activists.
As the Chinese Communist Party continues to target Uyghurs and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in China, the United States must strengthen the enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and resolve to pass the Uyghur Policy Act into law.

Angry Pro-Palestinian mob shut down a speech organized by Jewish students on the UC Berkeley campus on Monday night.
Pro-Palestinian goons threatened and assaulted Jewish students at UC Berkeley during their campus speaking event, “Israel at War” at the far left school.
The violent pro-Palestinian mob pounded on doors, assaulted Jewish students, broke glass windows, and forced the Jewish students to flee through tunnels for their own safety.
The Jewish students were forced to flee the building through a campus tunnel to escape the violent leftist mob.
Breitbart.com reported:
Jewish students at University of California-Berkeley (UC Berkeley) were forced to leave campus after a mob of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protesters shut down their speaking event featuring Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldier Ran Bar-Yoshafat.
A speaking event, titled “Israel at War: Combat the Lies,” at Zellerbach Playhouse on the UC Berkeley campus was shut down Monday night after a mob of protesters stormed the area chanting, “Long live the Intifada!” and breaking glass on the doors of the building in which the event was set to be held.

At least two Jewish students were assaulted by the pro-Palestinian mob.

This is the modern day Democrat Party.

Kamala Harris on Tuesday announced the Biden Regime will now allow students to get paid through federal work study to register people to vote.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Harris privately met with a few dozen leaders to push a plan to ‘protect voting rights’ – which is Democrat speak for flooding the ballot boxes with fraudulent ballots.
“We have seen those who would loudly attempt to interfere in the lawful votes of the American people and attempt to question the integrity of a fair and free election system,” Harris said before the roundtable in the Indian Treaty Room. “We have seen a rise in threats against poll workers. In fact, I met some recently in Georgia who had harrowing experiences in terms of how they were threatened, their well-being as well as their livelihood.”
Harris said she will be in Selma, Alabama on Sunday to commemorate ‘Bloody Sunday’ to remember John Lewis and others.
“Many of us will be in Selma on Sunday to commemorate Bloody Sunday to remember the great John Lewis and Amelia Boynton and so many others — to issue a call, yet again, for Congress to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act,” Harris said.
Harris said the new plan will allow students to get paid through federal work study to register people to vote in an effort to “activate them.”

ABC News reported:
In her White House meeting, Harris laid out a four-point plan that the administration will initiate to try to bolster voters’ rights.
The plan includes emailing instructions on how to register to vote to everyone enrolled in the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare; allowing students to get paid through federal work study for helping people to register to vote and working as nonpartisan poll workers; implementing initiatives to protect election workers; and announcing three national “days of action” to promote voting.
The three days will be Juneteenth, June 19, the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act on Aug. 6 and National Voter Registration Day on Sept. 17, according to Harris.
The vice president also said she will be in Selma, Alabama, on Sunday in remembrance of “Bloody Sunday,” when white law enforcement officers attacked Black voting rights marchers on March 7, 1965, at the height of the civil rights movement.

Hollywood actor and veterans advocate Gary Sinise on Tuesday announced the death of his son at age 33 following a long battle against a rare form of cancer.
Sinise posted a link to a message on his foundation’s website about his son McCanna’s death last month.
“In honor & Memory of McCanna Anthony ‘Mac’ Sinise: 1990-2024,” the post read.
A message from Gary. https://t.co/Bb2ji85bSi pic.twitter.com/Jhlrx6q9W9

In a lengthy tribute to Mac that was signed by his grieving father, Sinise told the world his son died on Jan. 5 and was laid to rest weeks later on Jan. 23.
He explained that his son’s diagnosis came five years ago while his wife was fighting breast cancer.
“The summer of 2018 was a particularly challenging time for our family,” the “Forrest Gump” actor wrote. “In June of that year, my wife Moira was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and after surgery to remove lymph nodes, she began chemotherapy and radiation.
“Then, on August 8th, we found out that Mac was diagnosed with a very rare cancer called Chordoma. What was happening? What is Chordoma? I had never heard of this. And two cancer patients, mother and son, within two months of each other?”
Sinise described the dual cancer diagnoses of those he loved the most as a “real punch in the gut” for him.
The actor referred to Chordoma as a “one in a million cancer” that strikes only 300 Americans on average per year.
“In 70% of the cases the initial tumor can be removed, and it is cured,” Sinise wrote. “But in 30% of the cases, perhaps about 90 people per year, the cancer returns.”
He said his son had fought the cancer for five years before he was hospitalized for the final time in December.
“He gave his family and friends so much during his 33 years, and he accomplished great things in those final months,” Sinise wrote.
The actor said Mac had spent much of his time in his final months working on inspirational music, which came together in an album titled “Resurrection and Revival.” Sinise said the record, which features his group, the Lt. Dan Band, will be released soon, with proceeds going to the Gary Sinise Foundation per Mac’s request.
“Thank you, Mac. You did it,” he wrote.
Sinise said his son “was a man who loved his Catholic faith, and there is no doubt that his strong faith sustained him through the awful 5 ½ year battle with this crippling Chordoma cancer.”
“We were blessed to have you in our lives as son, brother, and friend … and we will miss you and love you for eternity,” he wrote.
Sinise signed the statement as the “Proud father of Mac Sinise.”
Mac Sinise graduated from the University of Southern California Thorton School of Music.
He was a passionate composer, drummer and songwriter, his father wrote.
