Red State: Stephen King Shows Just How Twisted a Liberal Take on the First Amendment Can Be
Stephen King, a liberal author, made a bizarre take about the First Amendment, claiming that right-wingers defend the Second Amendment and not the right to read. However, King is twisting the First Amendment, which doesn't mention a "right to read" but protects other rights like the freedom of speech, press, religion, peaceful assembly, and petitioning the government. King's garbled way of arguing suggests that folks on the right are trying to "ban books," which isn't the case. This argument is dishonest, as schools have evaluated books based on their appropriateness for students, and the First Amendment doesn't protect sexually explicit books. Liberals have colluded to push their radical agenda and attack Republicans.

Fox News: Cornell medical school offering free anti-racism course, helps students apologize for old social media posts
Cornell medical school is offering a free anti-racism course that includes teaching students how to apologize for old social media posts. The course has come under fire for not allowing for "acceptance of grace," according to Johnny "Joey" Jones, co-host of "Fox & Friends Weekend." Jones argued that people should not be held accountable for every bad opinion they've had in the past and that it's more important to look at someone's actions in the present. The course is intended to promote anti-racist behavior and encourage students to become better allies.
Co-host Will Cain added that it's not society's job to punish children for their mistakes and that it's important to show grace in recognition that nobody is perfect. Jones also suggested that the course is null and void and that actions, not apologies for past social media posts, are what count in determining a person's character. The course was designed to encourage people to form discussion groups and apply allyship strategies in both personal and professional contexts on an ongoing basis.

The Epoch Times: Iowa Governor Signs Gender Identity Education Bill That Boosts Parental Rights
Iowa has passed a bill which prohibits students from receiving lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation. Religious texts are exempted, while provisions include parents being informed when a student requests to be referred to by a different pronoun to their biological sex, and no books containing sex-related depictions being allowed in libraries or classrooms. Parents may also request that books or educational material be removed from the curriculum or library. The state's largest union of teachers, Iowa State Education Association, opposed the legislation, while Democratic Rep. Lindsey James tweeted support for LGBTQ+ families.
Fox News: Poet blasts Florida school district for restricting piece to middle schoolers after one parent complaint
American poet Amanda Gorman's poem, "The Hill We Climb," was restricted by a Miami-Dade school due to a parent's complaint, which alleged that the material is "not educational" and has indirect hate messages, "causes confusion," and "indoctrinates students." Gorman tweeted that she was "gutted" by ECPS's move and vowed to fight back against book bans. Penguin Random House later sued ECPS for banning several books, claiming it was a violation of the First Amendment, and aims to challenge the school district and the Escambia County School Board's decisions to remove and restrict books from libraries. PEN America recently published a report that showed that nearly 1,500 books were banned in the first half of the 2022-2023 school year.

Roger Penske, the chairman of Penske Corporation, bought the Indianapolis Motor Speedway from Indiana's Hulman-George Family in 2019, ending their 74-year run as the owners of the famous sporting venue.

Fox News: 'Godfather of AI' says there's a 'serious danger' tech will get smarter than humans fairly soon
Geoffrey Hinton, known as "godfather of AI," warns of the dangers of achieving artificial general intelligence, which could be smarter than humans and have bad motives and take control. He thinks the issue is probably going to arrive very soon, and leaders need to think about what to do. Despite fears of job replacement and the spread of disinformation due to AI, Hinton does not think it's feasible to stop the research, and it would happen somewhere else if not in the US. He emphasizes the benefits of AI but asserts the need to put a lot of resources into controlling it, even when it's smarter than humans.
