Asian American parents talk to their kids about racism. вЂњBlack parents talk to their kids about racism. вЂњWhose children are we talking about?вЂќ asked LaGarrett King, a professor at the University of Missouri School of Education who has developed a new framework for teaching Black history. The Texas house of representatives has passed a flurry of legislation related to teaching history, including a bill that would ban any course that would вЂњrequire an understanding of the 1619 ProjectвЂќ and a bill that would establish an вЂњ1836 ProjectвЂќ (a reference to the date of the founding of the Republic of Texas) to вЂњpromote patriotic educationвЂќ. In Tennessee, the legislature has approved a bill that would bar public schools from using instructional materials that promote certain concepts, including the idea that, вЂњThis state or the United States is fundamentally or irredeemably racist or sexist.вЂќ The stateвЂ™s lieutenant governor, Janice McGeachin, also established a taskforce to вЂњexamine indoctrination in Idaho education and to protect our young people from the scourge of critical race theory, socialism, communism, and MarxismвЂќ. In Idaho, Governor Brad Little signed into law a measure banning public schools from teaching critical race theory, which it claimed will вЂњexacerbate and inflame divisions on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, national origin, or other criteria in ways contrary to the unity of the nation and the wellbeing of the state of Idaho and its citizensвЂќ. Legislation seeking to limit how teachers talk about race has been considered by at least 15 states, according to an analysis by Education Week. Anything that threatens to interrogate the myth is seen as a threat.вЂќ вЂњThereвЂ™s no room for racism in this myth. вЂњWhen you start re-examining the founding myth in light of evidence thatвЂ™s been discovered in the last 20 years by historians, then that starts to make people doubt the founding myth,вЂќ said Christopher S Parker, a professor of political science at the University of Washington who studies reactionary movements. For a time, it seemed that America was finally ready to tell a more honest, nuanced story of itself, one that acknowledged the blood at the root. The laborious project of establishing truth in the face of official lies is one that Americans embraced during the racial reckoning of the summer of 2020, whether it was individuals speaking out about their experiences of racism at work, or institutions acknowledging their own complicity in racial injustice. That something else happened вЂ“ that it is now possible for a news organization to say without caveat or qualification that Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd вЂ“ required herculean effort and extraordinary bravery on the part of millions of people. Police lies are accepted and endorsed by the press press accounts are accepted and believed by the public. That version of reality unfolds every day. It is not difficult to imagine a version of reality where this, the first police account of George FloydвЂ™s brutal death beneath the knee of an implacable police officer, remained the official narrative of what took place in Minneapolis one year ago. He was taken to the hospital вЂњwhere he died a short time laterвЂќ.

He вЂњphysically resisted officersвЂќ and, after being handcuffed, вЂњappeared to be suffering medical distressвЂќ. The man was suspected of forgery and вЂњbelieved to be in his 40sвЂќ. 1.O n, a man died after a вЂњmedical incident during police interactionвЂќ in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Below are nine of the most scandalous dresses of the roaring 20s.

From the dazzling Josephine Baker stepping on stage in nothing but a banana skirt, to 'It Girl' Clara Bow dancing in Greenwich Village in a dress that seemed more shocking than a naked body, the flapper dress wasn't the only outfit that tested social boundaries.

But some women pushed the envelope a little further than intended, producing some sinfully wonderful and downright wicked outfits. With restrictive girdles and long, bulky dresses becoming as untrendy as the 1980s Dynasty dresses of today, many ladies took on a 'less is more' ideal when it came to style. But with the new styles also came the need to toe a certain line. The trend was called ' la garГ§onne,' whereby women took on almost boyish personas, opting for flat-chested, unrestricted, sporty dresses. With sleeves becoming passГ©, hemlines rising to flirty lengths, and corsets turning old-fashioned, a woman's silhouette became freer and more on display. With the end of World War I and a 'live fast die young' mantra taken on by the new generation, fashion experienced a revolutionary shift, producing some scandalous dresses in the 1920s. The 1920s were a time for radical change, and that included for one's wardrobe.
