CHARLES TOWN, WV: "A new program in Jefferson County is looking to expand representation in the classroom. It’s a pilot program where African-American men from the community come out and read to fourth-grade students. The Black Men Read program is making its way around Jefferson County. The goal is not only to enhance literature for these fourth graders but to highlight children, families, communities and representation one book at a time. Every other week community members from local businesses and organizations will read culturally competent stories to all fourth-graders.

“I just, I think seeing men in the elementary schools, seeing men of color in the elementary schools…these are things that not every student will see every day. We’re really, really proud to be able to provide that,” said KB Slaine, Director of the Contemporary Theatre Studies at Shepherd University."

Congressman Moolenaar: That's true even if you are vaccinated, correct?

Becerra: Less likely to happen if you're vaccinated, far more likely to happen if you're not.

Secretary of Education Cardona [child abuse advocate] is at some event for the 'Transgender Day of Visibility', and just brought out a ten-year old boy in a dress [she/her], complaining about not being able to be on whatever team he wants.

"I am a transgender girl, and I am the fastest girl in the school, and when I go into 6th grade, I might have to play on the boys team, which I think is not okay at all."
