The Western Journal: With Christmas Barely Over, Flood of Kwanzaa Posts Hits the Media - Here's the Truth About the 'Holiday'
Kwanzaa, celebrated by some as a cultural holiday, has origins linked to its creator, Maulana Karenga, a convicted felon with a violent past. Critics argue that the holiday was designed to undermine Christmas and promote Marxist ideals, despite its portrayal by politicians and media as a celebration of African heritage.
Prominent Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom, have publicly embraced Kwanzaa, leading to criticism that they overlook its contentious history and ideological roots. The call for unity and community is seen by some as a facade for a deeper agenda.

Fox News: University of Iowa announces plans to close Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies department
The University of Iowa plans to close its Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies department as part of a broader shift in response to changing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The proposal includes creating a new major in Social and Cultural Analysis, with implementation set for July 1, 2025, pending approval.
This decision aligns with actions taken by other institutions, such as the University of Michigan and the University of Austin, which have also moved away from DEI requirements. These changes reflect a growing trend among public universities in the state and beyond to reevaluate DEI programs.
