Candidate for School Board Speaking out Against School District’s “Black Lives Matter” Curriculum
Illinois | April 9, 2021
A candidate for the school board in Evanston, Illinois, is speaking out against the school district’s “Black Lives Matter” curriculum, which she says is negative, divisive, and disempowering for black kids who are taught that they cannot overcome systemic racism in America.
Ndona Muboyayi is running for school board in District 65, located in a Chicago suburb that recently made headlines for becoming the first American city to offer slavery reparations for black residents.
It’s the same school district that made news this week for prioritizing “black and brown” students for in-person learning due to limited capacity as schools reopen after closing during the pandemic….
“Upon my return to Evanston, I learned quickly that the curriculum changed drastically. No longer were they teaching children basically about the history of the world — including the history of African Americans and people of the African diaspora — but they had added something that they called, ‘Black Lives Matter’ curriculum,” Muboyayi told Fox News….
“But it doesn’t speak about when African Americans have fought against white supremacy or fought against oppression,” she continued. “So it was very much speaking about the one side, a very negative side, and nothing really about the things black people have accomplished in this country.”…

Texas | April 9, 2021
The border crisis is “out of control,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said in a video shot as a group of more than 100 illegal immigrants trooped across the border.
“This is out of control. It’s the middle of the night. We’ve seen dozens of children flow freely across the border in just the past few minutes. This is the reality of [President] Joe Biden’s disastrous amnesty agenda,” Scalise tweeted on Friday.
In the video posted to Twitter from McAllen, Texas, Scalise highlighted the out-of-control flood of illegal immigrants crossing the border….

Pro-Life Democrat Mayor Becomes a Republican
Nevada | April 9, 2021
Another Democrat politician has left the party because of its increasingly radical pro-abortion agenda.
Fox News journalist Gregg Jarrett reports North Las Vegas, Nevada Mayor John Lee announced his switch to the Republican Party on Tuesday.
“When you’re a pro-life Democrat, a pro-gun Democrat, and you’re a very conservative person, that’s not really well known in the Democratic party anymore. And so for me to hang on as long as I did hoping the party would change, it didn’t. It got worse,” Lee told Fox & Friends.
Lee, a life-long Democrat up until now, became mayor of North Las Vegas in 2013. He was re-elected in 2017, according to the report.
The mayor expressed frustration with the Democratic Party’s increasing radicalism and its abandonment of working class Americans and small business owners as well as unborn babies.
“Though I’ve been a registered Democrat on paper my entire life, I made the switch in my heart a long time ago because, on some things, there’s simply no compromise,” Lee said in a statement. “It’s not the party that I grew up with 25 years ago in this environment, and it’s not the party that I can stand with anymore.”….

OBGYN Confirms: Abortion Kills Babies
District of Columbia | April 9, 2021
“I always tell people, yes, please follow the science,” she said, “because I know exactly where it’s going to lead you. It’s going to lead you to the side of life, and it’s going to lead you to the fact that abortion isn’t good for women. It harms them.”
Francis is a board-certified OB-GYN practicing in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As an OB hospitalist managing inpatients, mostly obstetrics, she cares for a lot of high-risk pregnancies, and gets to see a lot of different types of pregnancies from the perfectly routine to the very complex.
“It’s the best job in the world, I think,” she said.
Francis grew up in Indiana. After her residency she lived and worked in Kenya doing medical missions for about three years. Francis then decided to come back to the States to practice and to do pro-life work with the American Association of Pro-life OB-GYNs (AAPLOG), the largest professional medical organization for pro-life healthcare providers in the world.
“I was challenged by a dear friend that as a pro-life female OB-GYN, I should be doing more for women and preborn children,” Francis told Pregnancy Help News.

Nebraska City Becomes “Sanctuary for the Unborn”
Nebraska | April 9, 2021
On Tuesday, the village of Hayes Center became the first in Nebraska to pass a Sanctuary for the Unborn ordinance and the 24th in the nation, The Hayes Center Times-Republican reports. The vote was 5-0 in favor of the pro-life ordinance.
Chairwoman Kimberle Primavera spearheaded the effort after reading about the city of Carbon, Texas passing a similar ordinance in February, according to the report.
The Sanctuary for the Unborn ordinance recognizes that unborn babies are valuable human beings who deserve to be protected under the law. It prohibits abortions within city limits and prevents abortion businesses from opening there. It also penalizes abortion practitioners for aborting unborn babies, but it does not penalize women who seek or have abortions.
“It shall be unlawful for any person to procure or perform an abortion of any type and at any stage of pregnancy in the village of Hayes Center, Nebraska,” the ordinance states. “It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly aid or abet an abortion that occurs in the village of Hayes Center, Nebraska.”…

Biden to Create Commission on Changes to Supreme Court
District of Columbia | April 9, 2021
President Joe Biden on Friday will order the creation of a commission to study possible reforms to the Supreme Court, including whether to expand the number of justices, which is a key goal of leftist members of the Democratic Party, or setting term limits for justices.
The order will form “the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States, comprised of a bipartisan group of experts on the Court and the Court reform debate,” according to the statement from the White House on Friday.
The panel will consist of former federal judges and lawyers who have argued in front of the Supreme Court, as well as “advocates for the reform of democratic institutions and of the administration of justice,” the White House said. “The expertise represented on the Commission includes constitutional law, history, and political science.”…
