National Review: Michigan Republican Sets the Record Straight on Hate-Crime Bill That Could Criminalize Using ‘Wrong’ Pronouns
Michigan's hate-crime bill is criticized by state representative Beeler, who argues that it is subjective and could infringe on free speech. The bill targets speech that "intimidates another individual" but the definition of intimidation is vague. The bill expands protections for gender identity or expression, but it is difficult to apply a reasonable-person standard when there is disagreement about basic truths regarding gender.
Washington Free Beacon: Drew's Receipts: Media Failures of the Week, July 8
Media narratives surrounding Independence Day focus on declining patriotism, concerns about gun violence, and environmental impacts of fireworks. Some individuals, influenced by the Black Lives Matter movement, feel less patriotic and criticize the holiday. Others express unease due to confusion between gunshots and fireworks, as well as environmental harm caused by fireworks. Meanwhile, media reports discuss alternatives to traditional fireworks displays, such as drone shows. Additionally, the media highlights the link between gun violence and Independence Day, and presents statistics on declining patriotism and concerns about air quality. The media also looks at the state of the economy, with mixed reviews on job growth, unemployment rates, and inflation. The White House uses the Fourth of July as an opportunity to promote its economic plan. The overall media coverage suggests a nuanced and complex portrayal of the holiday and its associated issues.
American Thinker: Nazis on the Left?
Former NCAA female swimmer Riley Gaines has faced verbal and physical attacks from transgender activists for speaking out against males competing as females. Gaines was recently assaulted by a mob of transgender rights protesters after speaking at a university. The left's resort to violence and attacks on conservatives poses a grave danger to democracy. Leftist protests have taken a violent turn, as seen in an anti-Israel demonstration at the University of Michigan that called for "Intifada" and echoed Hitler's "final solution." The left's violent tactics seek to silence opposing voices and intimidate those who uphold the law and defend common sense and peace.

Washington Free Beacon: REVIEW: 'The Idol'
HBO and A24's "The Idol" faces criticism for its explicit content, but it serves as both an entertaining throwback to HBO's origins and a critique of the entertainment industry's obsession with stardom. The show follows pop star Jocelyn and her destructive relationship with abusive cult leader Tedros, but it falls short in portraying Tedros' supposed charisma. However, the final episodes bring a satisfying reversal as Jos regains control and exposes their toxic codependency.

National Review: Higher Education Fails to Honor Diversity of Opinion on Affirmative Action

Tina Kotek, the governor of Oregon, has appointed Charlene Williams as the state's next education director.

American Thinker: How Leftists Are Bypassing Red-State Legislatures to Corrupt Kids
For conservatives, there is concern over Democratic infiltrations in state agencies to sway elections. However, another infiltration is occurring through the creation of "Trauma-Informed Schools," where teachers shape children's personalities by linking past trauma to issues like racism and sexism. This approach is spreading in schools and is funded by the Biden administration.
National Review: The End of Affirmative Action Is Good News for Black and Hispanic Students
Affirmative action in college admissions is no longer practiced. The end of this practice benefits minority children, as affirmative action did not truly address the achievement gaps between racial groups. Admitting students based on proportional numbers would require large race-based advantages, leading to a "mismatch" between students and difficulty for minority students to succeed.
