...because education is in the dumper. Really.
Wayne State Drops Math In Favor Of Diversity
"A faculty committee has proposed adding a three credit hours requirement in diversity to the general education curriculum at Wayne State University. It also recommended that WSU drop its university-wide requirement in mathematics, an idea that was carried out on June 13.
“We are proposing the creation of specific ‘Diversity’ courses, with students required to take one course in this designation,” said a document from the General Education Reform Committee, which is recalibrating what the university will expect from all students who earn a degree from the state university. It released the proposal in May."

Spin Zone / House Dems Walk Out Of Moment Of Silence

"A day after a mass shooting in Orlando, Democratic lawmakers erupted on the House floor with loud criticism of House Speaker Paul Ryan and other Republican leaders for leaving the nation’s gun laws untouched. Some protested by leaving the House chamber during a moment of silence honoring the victims.
Democrats yelled “Where’s the bill?” and “No leadership!” Monday evening after Ryan held a moment of silence for 49 people killed at an Orlando nightclub early Sunday."
I guess we need to pass a law making it illegal to kill people.

..in the Freddie Gray cases, says the Judge:

" The judge overseeing the trial of a police officer charged with murdering Freddie Gray has determined that prosecutors withheld information that would have been beneficial to the defense.
Judge Barry Williams was visibly angry in the Baltimore court, but he did not dismiss the charges against police officer Caesar Goodson, as his attorneys had requested. Williams is giving prosecutors until Monday to disclose any other relevant evidence they have withheld. Goodson was the driver of the van during the arrest of Gray, 25, last year. "

…At Arlington
"His nickname was "Marvelous Mal." And those who gathered Wednesday at the National Cathedral to remember the 91-year-old Olympic track star, Air Force tail gunner and U.S. sports ambassador came from every chapter of his big-screen life: a comrade from the renowned African American Tuskegee Airmen, a Kenyan running protege turned Olympic gold medalist, old State Department buddies, and his daughter, CNN news anchor Fredricka Whitfield, his 83-year-old widow, and other relatives."
