Trump Admin Tells UNC, Duke to Revise Islam Program or Lose Taxpayer Funds

The Trump administration is calling on the University of North Carolina (UNC) and Duke University to revise their joint Middle Eastern studies program or lose taxpayer funding. According to the Department of Education, the program offers very few, “if any,” programs focused on the historic discrimination against religious minorities in the Middle East, and lacks balance, focusing on the “positive aspects of Islam” while having an “absolute absence” of a similar focus on the positive aspects of Christianity and Judaism.
The U.S. Department of Education says that Duke and UNC are misusing a federal grant to advance “ideological priorities,” and is ordering the Duke-UNC Consortium for Middle East Studies (CMES) to revise its joint program by September 22 or risk losing federal funding, according to a report by the Associated Press.
“The Duke-UNC CMES appears to lack balance as it offers very few, if any, programs focused on the historic discrimination faced by, and current circumstances of, religious minorities in the Middle East, including Christians, Jews, Baha’is, Yadizis, Kurds, Druze, and others,” states the Department of Education in an August 29 letter.
“Also,” added the letter, “there is a considerable emphasis placed on the understanding the positive aspects of Islam, while there is an absolute absence of any similar focus on the positive aspects of Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion or belief system in the Middle East.”
The Trump administration says that the “lack of balance of perspectives is troubling and strongly suggests that Duke-UNC CMES is not meeting legal requirement” that mandates National Resource Centers to provide “a full understanding of the areas, regions, or countries.”
In June, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos ordered an investigation into the Middle East program after Rep. George Holding (R-NC) noted that it hosted a tax-payer funded conference with “severe anti-Israel bias and anti-Semitic rhetoric.”
The report added that the investigation is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to root out antisemitism on U.S. university campuses, and that investigators concluded the program had intended to use funds on offerings that are “plainly unqualified for taxpayer support,” adding that foreign language and national security “have taken a back seat to other priorities.”
Anti-Israel and antisemitic movements have, in fact, been an issue popping up on U.S. college campuses via tactics such as the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), which is designed to ultimately destroy the world’s only Jewish state.
The BDS movement — supported by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — has manifested itself on college campuses across the country, in an effort to delegitimize Israel in the minds of students, galvanizing them to march in lockstepwith the anti-Semitic campaign.
Henry Reichman, the chairman of a committee on academic freedom for the American Association of University Professors, reacted to the Education Department’s letter by referring to it as, ironically, “political correctness” enacted by the “right-wing.”
“Is the government now going to judge funding programs based on the opinions of instructors or the approach of each course?” asked Reichman. “The odor of right wing political correctness that comes through this definitely could have a chilling effect.”
UNC professor Jay Smith reacted by stating that the Department of Education’s letter is “ideologically driven harassment,” and that the official who signed the letter “should stay in his lane and allow the experts to determine what constitutes a ‘full understanding’ of the Middle East.”
The Education Department maintains, however, that the Duke-UNC CMES may still offer programs in, for example, “Iranian art and film,” but that such programs should not be funded or subsidized with taxpayer money, as CMES has not clearly demonstrated how these programs are secondary to more rigorous and relevant coursework.
The department also cited examples of reading materials such as Amihri Hatun: Performance, Gender-Bending and Subversion in the Early Modern Ottoman Intellectual History and Radical Love: Teachings from Islamic Mystical Tradition, noting that their relevance to Title VI is “patently unclear.”
“The Consortium deeply values its partnership with the Department of Education and has always been strongly committed to complying with the purposes and requirements of the Title VI program,” said a UNC-Chapel Hill spokesperson to Breitbart News.
“In keeping with the spirit of this partnership,” added the spokesperson, “the Consortium is committed to working with the Department to provide more information about its programs.”

Trump policies keep killing, as asylum-seekers forced to wait in Mexico drown trying to come back
Sep 20, 2019 10:23am PDT by Gabe Ortiz, Daily Kos Staff

The Trump administration’s anti-family, anti-immigrant policies continue to kill parents and their children. Twenty-one-month-old Iker Gael Cordova Herrera and his mom Idalia Yamileth Herrera Hernández, asylum-seekers who had been forced to wait out their cases in Mexico under inhumane U.S. policy, drowned in the Rio Grande last week, after becoming desperate and deciding to again try to enter the U.S. They never made it.
CNN reported that Idalia and Iker had slept in the streets and in Mexican shelters after U.S. immigration officials sent them back across the border under the Migrant Protection Protocols policy, or “Remain in Mexico.” But asylum-seekers, their advocates, and legal experts have all said that this policy is anything but “protection,” when some families are sent to dangerous regions where violence and kidnappings are becoming more and more common.
Idalia had “told her husband that she felt scared and nervous about crossing the Rio Grande,” but she had no other choice. “So far in 2019, 15 children have died at the US–Mexico border, according to data from the International Organization for Migration,” BuzzFeed News reported, including deaths of kids in U.S. custody. “That is the highest number of dead children since 2014, which is when the organization started tracking deaths along migratory routes for its ‘Missing Migrants Project.’”
This past summer, Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his baby, Valeria, also drownedafter attempting to cross the river, also having grown despondent after waiting in Mexico for two months for a chance to ask for asylum. Devoid of basic human decency much like the white supremacist in chief he works for, a Trump official went on cable news to blame Óscar for his and his daughter’s deaths. Last December, former Homeland Security Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen also blamed Jakelin Amei Rosmery Caal Maquin’s death on U.S. watch on the child’s parent.
Advocates have previously warned that the Supreme Court’s move allowing the administration’s Asylum Ban 2.0 to continue for now “will be a death sentence for many of the vulnerable asylum seekers now seeking safety,” but the families fleeing their home countries for the U.S. are already dying. There’s already blood on the hands of this administration. "Imagine, I'm going to cross the river and I don't know how is it going to be,” Idalia’s husband said she wrote in her final text to him. “What if I drown?"

President Donald Trump named two nominees for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday, tapping a federal prosecutor and a conservative appellate lawyer for the west coast court.
- President Donald Trump named two more appointees for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday.
- With Friday’s announcement, there are three nominees pending for the 9th Circuit. If confirmed, Trump will have appointed 10 of the 9th Circuit’s 29 judges.
- Friday’s nominees, Patrick Bumatay and Lawrence VanDyke, are both attorneys at the Department of Justice.
The nominees, Patrick Bumatay and Lawrence VanDyke, are likely to elicit strong opposition for Democrats. If confirmed, the pair would raise the number of Trump’s 9th Circuit appointees to nine, with one other nomination pending.

Charles Barkley: Not All Trump Voters Are Racist And Democrats Only Like Black Voters During Election Years
Matt Vespa | Sep 21, 2019 1:30 PM

Hall of Fame player Charles Barkley is excellent on TNT with Shaquille O’Neill, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson. He’s hilarious. He ripped Jussie Smollett and his hate crime hoax that sent the whole nation into a Trump-hating frenzy. In the end, two Nigerian brothers staged the hoax. The Windy City devoted countless hours and resources to this circus act—and while the national media thought this was an actual story, local news did its job, reported on the facts, and revealed it to be a fraud. Barkley’s commentary during a halftime show for TNT’s coverage only showed that it was now a national punchline.
Yet, when it comes to politics, Barkley, an Alabama native, threw his support behind Democrat Doug Jones for U.S. Senate in the state’s special election. Yet, he torched Democrats for pretty much exploiting black voters, only reaching out during election year and then doing jack when they’re ushered into power. Barkley made these remarks in an interview with Sirius XM’s Michael Smerconish.
He also said Republicans need to start doing outreach since they really don’t it at all with minority communities. That has changed in recent years, especially with former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s agenda of fighting poverty, but it could be better. On school choice especially is one area where the GOP can make inroad not just with black communities, but the urban areas. It’s a win-win issue across the board.
The former NBA star might give liberals heartburn when he said that not all Trump voters are racist, though he admits that some are. Yes, and there are probably some racists who voted for the Democratic Party last year as well. In fact, the Ku Klux Klan backed Democrats throughout the Reconstruction and Jim Crow era. That’s doesn’t make it the party of the KKK, though when Democrats try to make it seem as if the GOP is—that’s when you hit them over the head with this history lesson. So, in short, Barkley ripped everyone. That’s fair. I think you’ll find a lot of Americans who think both parties suck (via Daily Wire):
On Wednesday, speaking on Michael Smerconish’s SiriusXM radio show, NBA Hall Of Famer Charles Barkley, in his inimitably blunt style, said Democrats only talk to black Americans when they want their votes.
[…]
Barkley recalled, "I said 'Doug, I’m going to support you. I’m going to try to get every black person in Alabama to vote for you.' And it worked out. We won for the first time in 40 years. But I said, 'We need to start holding you Democrats accountable' because they’ve been taking black people’s votes – and they only talk to black people every four years. All of these politicians only talk to black people every four years because they want their vote."
Barkley added, "Oh, actually, the Republicans don’t, the Democrats do. But when they get elected, they do nothing in the four years in-between."
Barkley also opined on the supposed racism of Trump supporters, saying, "I don’t think everybody who voted for Trump is racist … I think some of them are, but I don’t think everybody who voted for Trump is racist.

Only Nine Students Show Up To White Privilege Workshop At School Of 30,000
September 21st, 2019

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte hosted a white privilege workshop where only nine students reportedly showed up—despite 30,000 students enrolled at the school.
The UNC Charlotte event page described the event as “Understanding the meaning and implications of whiteness and engaging in anti-racist practice is crucial in creating racial equity.”
The event, held earlier this month, was for undergraduate and graduate students “who are interested in engaging in conversations to assist in their understanding of how racism is perpetuated individually, culturally, and systemically.”
As The College Fix reported, “The total number of students in the audience for the first ‘White Consciousness Conversation,’ held Sept. 10, was nine — but two were students there not as participants but as journalists mainly to observe. One was from The College Fix and another from the Niner Times campus newspaper.” (RELATED: AU Students Plan Protests And Safe Space For Daily Caller Editor’s Speech)
On top of two of the attendants being journalists, The Fix also noted that five of the remaining seven were members of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) chapter on campus and were attending with a skeptical eye of the premise rather than attending in support.

Justin Trudeau says his privilege made him do it
Molly Roberts, The Washington Post | September 21, 2019People in the United States might feel a smidge of schadenfreude at our neighbor's struggle with a transgression alarmingly common among politicians here at home - if only our own schaden weren't so tremendous. Still, there's something about the Trudeau story that makes it especially hard to ignore, and his explanation for his behavior gets right at it.
"I came from a place of privilege . . . but now I have to acknowledge that that comes with a massive blind spot," Trudeau told reporters in the latest of his multiple apologies for his multiple mistakes. "The fact of the matter is I've always - and you'll know this - been more enthusiastic about costumes than is sometimes appropriate," he told reporters in the first instance.
