Cecilia Keizer, Oxfam country director in Nepal said:

“Communication is currently very difficult. Telephone lines are down and the electricity has been cut off, making charging mobile phones difficult. The water is also cut off. The number of people killed is continuing to rise. Many of the old houses have been destroyed and at least one large apartment block has come down in Kathmandu. Given the closeness to the epicenter, Pokhara must also be badly affected. Oxfam is preparing to help provide clean water and emergency food. People are gathered in their thousands in open spaces and are scared as there have been several aftershocks.”

Baltimore County PC Media – "man attacked by group of juveniles"….

Stop me when you’ve heard this before. The media headline reads “Baltimore man attacked by a group of juveniles”. What the headline intentionally avoids is the reality of a 61-year-old white male being attacked by a group of 15 to 20 black high school students for absolutely no reason.
The entire event was captured on a business CCTV system, which might lend the reader to think: great, the suspects will be captured (screen grab below).

Not so fast…..  Once again you see the familiar tactic of the Baltimore County Maryland police asking the business owner not to release the video footage. The police demand the CCTV footage not be released, yet the last line in the politically correct worded article says: (more…)

Education Secretary: Parents Who Opt Out Of Common Core are Racist – “Feds Will Step In” If Opt Out Continues…

Education Secretary Arnie Duncan is reminding parents in America “that all your children belong to them”. In a not-so-very veiled threat Secretary Duncan states the Federal Government will step in if parents continue to opt their children out of Common Core testing.

Holder+Duncan+Address+Youth+Violence+Chicago+xjeTGo8gtb9l(Via Doug Ross Journal) Secretary of Education Arne Duncan issued a veiled threat to the parents and students who choose to opt out of Common Core testing – The Feds “have an obligation to step in.”
Federal law, under No Child Left Behind, requires 95 percent of students in a state to take the annual standardized tests in reading and math from grades 3-8. It is a requirement which until now has never needed enforcement or consideration.
With as many as 184,000 students in New York choosing to opt out, the 95 percent threshold will not only be in jeopardy, it will be an easily missed mark.
When asked what would happen in states with such a high opt out rate, whether they would have to force consequences upon schools, parents, and students, Duncan responded “We think most states will do that.”
He added, “If states don’t do that, then we have an obligation to step in.” (more…)
