America the Beautiful
Oh, beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev’ry gain divine.
By Katherine Lee Bates
Music by Samuel Ward
1910 (Third verse)

Independent analysis assigns new history standards an 'F'
In an interview with Carolina Journal, N.C. Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt emphasized the Fordham report shows the structural weaknesses of the new standards and should throw up a cautionary flag for education policymakers.
“Our standards are so overbroad, so vague, and so absent of chronology as a historical concept that they are all but useless to educators,” Truitt told CJ.
Truitt said Fordham’s report does not wade into the politics behind the standards — it solely focuses on more structural factors, such as quality and usability. Read more.

Moore Democrat chairman
rejects 'Charters of Freedom'
Maurice Holland, chair of the Moore County Democratic Party, unearthed a well worn misinterpretation of American history in a recent letter published by The Pilot in a flimsy attempt to condemn a "Charters of Freedom" project championed by Moore Republican Women.
Holland points to a passage in the U.S. Constitution that he claims belittles the humanity of people held as slaves at the time it was written.
"Native Americans were not counted for U.S. House apportionment, nor considered citizens, while enslaved persons were considered three-fifths of a human being," Holland wrote disingenuously.
Historians long ago set straight the assignment of a three-fifths designation as a procedural compromise. The founders did not view a black slave as three-fifths of a person, but as part of a political maneuver, three-fifths of a vote. In his letter, Holland expressed concern that school children would not have this explained to them, suggesting little confidence in local history teachers.
The Charters of Freedom project would display the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights as a permanent shrine in Moore County. Thirteen other counties in North Carolina already have completed their Charters monuments. The Moore County Commissioners have approved a request to go forward with the Charters project as soon as a location is determined.

Abortion denies 'freedom' with
vile finality
By John Rowerdink
(Editor's note: Former Moore County Republican Party chairman John Rowerdink posted the following response to Holland's letter at ThePilot.com, making clear that Dems are not merely the party of slavery. It appears here with the author's permission)
Your criticism of the Constitution for the manner in which it counted slaves would be more believable if the Democratic Party did not have a long history of supporting the killing of unborn babies in the womb.
A disproportionate number of those aborted babies are black, and may well be the descendants of the slaves you claim to be so concerned about.
Since they never had a chance to live, they’re counted not as three-fifths, but zero. Were they not also created in the image of God?

Governor Cooper keeps
NC on the federal dole
Leaders who do not want to be held accountable are tyrants, not leaders. Exhibit A: North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper.
As reported by Rep. Tim Moore, NC House Speaker, Cooper refuses to shut off the federal "free money" pipeline, which is straining small businesses who can't convince employees to come back to work. Cooper approves of citizens being "paid" not to work.
On a Friday afternoon ahead of the Fourth of July weekend, Governor Cooper vetoed Senate Bill 116, the “Put North Carolina Back to Work Act.”
Once again, Governor Cooper has vetoed common-sense legislation that passed the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. SB 116 would have made unemployment benefits non-taxable income and withdrawn our state from the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation Agreement. Read more.

Dangers of child masks
unmasked by new study
|
A new report published by an American Medical Association journal revealed forcing children to wear face masks leads to adverse health effects. JAMA Pediatrics, a top-rated monthly journal published by the AMA, found wearing face masks increases the amount of carbon dioxide in inhaled air to unhealthy levels.
The study measured carbon dioxide levels in 45 children ages 6-17 while wearing masks. The normal content of carbon dioxide in the air is 400 parts per million (ppm), with anything above 2000 ppm considered unacceptable by the German Federal Environmental Office.
The JAMA report measured averages of 13,120 to 13,910 ppm of carbon dioxide in the inhaled air of children wearing masks, which is over six times higher than the unsafe threshold. The study further pointed out this measurement was after only three minutes of wearing a mask.

"The audit report by the (Arizona) State Senate will show significant discrepancies between the ballots (recently) audited and original count when it's released. Also, Maricopa County has failed to produce routers and passwords for machines. The Senate could issue a follow up subpoena."
AZ state senator Sonny Borrelli, tweeting on July 5, 2021, regarding a completed audit of 2020 ballots.
"Instead of offering real solutions to (current) crises, we war with each other over whether the deceased children's book author Dr. Seuss or the plastic toy Mr. Potato Head were racist of otherwise exclusionary. When our elites are clueless about national debt, inflation, illegal immigration, crime, soaring gas prices, and a global pandemic, they reassure themselves that at least they can cancel out Father Junipero Serra or knock down another statue of Robert E. Lee."
Victor Davis Hanson, writing for The Epoch Times, June 30, 2021, on the wokeness con game.
"Republicans leaders should not ban the teaching of critical race theory in public schools. ... Republicans should focus their energy instead on promoting school choice. ... The slogan writes itself: 'Is your child stuck in a public school unabashedly promoting Marxism, segregation and self-hate? Support school choice'."
An excerpt from a letter published in The Wall Street Journal by a reader from West Hempstead, NY.
