“Immediate intervention in the form of injunctive relief is necessary to prevent the loss of election data and evidence needed to determine voter intent, any systematic fraud, and any criminal activity and/or civil liability,” the lawsuit continued according to the Hill.
“A sheriff has filed a suit with affidavits that focus on a conspiracy theory about markers that was debunked literally weeks ago. This is an affidavit in the case filed in federal court: ‘I do not know if my ballot was appropriately counter due to completing it with a marker,'” a reporter from the Detroit News, Craig Mauger, wrote on Twitter.

The lawsuit from Leaf is seeking to block the Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s rules for local clerks to delete electronic poll book software and other such files from the Nov. 3 election. (RELATED: Trump: Georgia Gov. Could Stop Voter Fraud ‘If He Knew What The Hell He Was Doing’)
Leaf was called by many to resign back in October after supporting a militia group that reportedly planned to kidnap Whitmer.

thedailycaller--2020-12-08--Heritage Foundation Report Delineates Critical Race Theory’s Marxist Roots And How It Went Mainstrea

Heritage Foundation Report Delineates Critical Race Theory’s Marxist Roots And How It Went Mainstream

A Heritage Foundation report released Monday delineates the history and purpose of the critical race theory movement , which has Marxist roots and aims to “ revolutionize a culture , ” its author told the Daily Caller While critical race theory was previously obscure outside of academic circles , it has grown to prominence in recent years .
The Trump administration has also drawn attention to the movement after the president issued a directive to federal agencies to cease and desist all critical race theory trainings .
Mike Gonzalez , one of the two authors of the report titled “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Its Grip on America , ” described how critical race theory grew from being a niche field in academia to being a subject taught in school districts , federal agencies and workplaces across the country .
It is also the backbone of many movements and phenomena Americans see today .
“ What ’ s important is changing culture and changing society , and that ’ s what critical theory sets out to do , ” Gonzalez told the Caller .
“ It ’ s an unremitting attack , all out ceaseless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the west in order to create a new social reality.
” The movement has its roots in the Frankfurt School , where a manifesto was created in 1937 that drew influence from Friedrich Nietzche , Georg Friedrich Hegel and Karl Marx .
One of the core tenets of the school of thought was to tear down Western institutions , and it claimed that “ traditional theory fetishized knowledge , seeing truth as empirical and universal.
” One of the ways critical race theory seeks to achieve these ends is through identity politics , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ categories , each group has its own specific claims to victimhood , which “ commands attention , respect , and entitlements , seen as compensatory justice.
” The rise of the Black Lives Matter movement also suggests that critical race theory has made an impression in popular culture .
Its acceptance among the media , corporations and nearly all other power centers demonstrates that the teachings have gone mainstream , according to the report .
Perhaps most pernicious result , Gonzalez argued , is the dissemination of critical race theory in K-12 schools @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that a San Diego public school district was requiring teachers to attend “ whites privilege ” trainings where they were expected to recognize their roles in perpetuating racism , a hallmark of critical race theory .
A slide in the training titled “ White Privilege and Culture ” informed teachers that “ white people in America hold most of the political , institutional , and economic power , ” thus benefiting from advantages that non-white people don ’ t , according to Christopher Rufo , who reported on the leaked documents .
( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ideas ’ : Teachers Reportedly Required To Attend ‘ White Privilege ’ Training At Public School ) The report mentioned multiple other instances where critical race theory has influenced school decision making , including focusing resources on helping school board members identify their “ implicit biases , ” an initiative adopted by the Ohio state board of education .
“ Curricular content for action civics range from encouraging students to volunteer in their community to suggesting that teachers assign students , even elementary-age students , material that advocates for unionizing workers and protesting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even for adults to consider , ” the report said .
Leaked documents have also shown that critical race theory is the backbone of trainings happening at federal agencies .
For example , National Laboratories , a federal lab , reportedly hosted a three-day mandatory training for its white male executives where they were instructed to apologize for their privilege , along with other tasks such as acknowledging the connection between “ white male culture ” and mass killings .
Trump ordered all federal agencies to end critical race theory trainings , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anti-American propaganda , ” in September .
But what the White House has referred to as critical race theory , others , including a presidential debate moderator , have called “ sensitivity training.
” Gonzalez said that there ’ s nothing “ sensitive ” about it .
“ This is not sensitivity .
This is the least sensitive thing there is .
This is teaching people that hard work is ‘ whitish , ’ that linear thinking or love of the written word is a white thing .
This is pernicious stuff that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right mind.
” The report makes multiple policy recommendations , including pulling federal support from diversity training , requiring public schools to make their curriculums available to the public and protecting free speech on public college campuses .
“ America has faults like every other country but it is a very successful experiment in terms of liberty and prosperity , ” Gonzalez said .
“ Before we change America so structurally , we should ask ourselves , is there really any other society we ’ d like to become ?
”

While colleges, government agencies and even public schools race to spend money adopting critical race theory, a new report released Monday by the Heritage Foundation concludes its goals are nothing short of “revolutionary.”
“What’s important is changing culture and changing society, and that’s what critical theory sets out to do,” Mike Gonzalez, one of the two authors of the report titled “Critical Race Theory, the New Intolerance, and Its Grip on America.” “It’s an unremitting attack, all out ceaseless criticism of the traditions and norms of the west in order to create a new social reality.”
It has found its way into k-12 schools, with some schools holding mandatory “white privilege” training sessions and “equity” audits to root out racism among faculty. The Trump administration drew national attention to it by issuing a directive banning it in federal agencies after news broke that white men in Sandia National Laboratories, which assesses the United States’ nuclear weapons, were being forced to attend race re-education classes.
It’s critical for Americans to understand WHAT #CriticalRaceTheory really is.

Perhaps the most pernicious result, Gonzalez argued, is the dissemination of critical race theory in K-12 schools.
In December, leaked documents showed that a San Diego public school district was requiring teachers to attend “white privilege” trainings where they were expected to recognize their roles in perpetuating racism, a hallmark of critical race theory.

Leaked documents have also shown that critical race theory is the backbone of trainings happening at federal agencies. For example, National Laboratories, a federal lab, reportedly hosted a three-day mandatory training for its white male executives where they were instructed to apologize for their privilege, along with other tasks such as acknowledging the connection between “white male culture” and mass killings.
Other leaked documents revealed that the federal agency United States Agency for International Development (USAID) had given manuals to its employees to educate them about topics such as “microaggressions” and “misgendering.”
Trump ordered all federal agencies to end critical race theory trainings, which the White House called “divisive, anti-American propaganda,” in September.
But what the White House has referred to as critical race theory, others, including a presidential debate moderator, have called “sensitivity training.”
“This is not sensitivity. This is the least sensitive thing there is. This is teaching people that hard work is ‘whitish,’ that linear thinking or love of the written word is a white thing. This is pernicious stuff that should go nowhere near anybody in their right mind.”

Whoa…. Suddenly also hearing names of several recently retired 4 stars suggested as potentially serious contenders for Secretary of Defense. From a civil-military relations perspective, this seems like a terrible idea. 1/ — Rosa Brooks (@brooks_rosa) November 26, 2020
Civ-mil relations in DoD need to be reset… lots of damage during the Trump era. Especially after Mattis, Kelly, McMaster, Flynn…. putting a recently retired 4 star, no matter how wonderful, into the top civilian DoD position sends the worst possible message. — Rosa Brooks (@brooks_rosa) November 26, 2020
Brooks was also a proponent of appointing a woman to head the Pentagon, according to a recent op-ed she wrote for the New York Times. “If Joe Biden chooses a woman as his secretary of defense, he would send an important and long overdue message,” she wrote.
Sixteen Democrats — and Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — voted against the waiver that allowed Mattis to serve as President Donald Trump’s first defense secretary.

The mom finally told the little boy not to worry and that his dad would still get it for him.
The Harlem Irving Plaza (HIP) in Norridge, Illinois, has since issued an apology to the little boy and his family in a message posted on its Facebook, stating that “HIP and [its] third-party Santa company are distraught and deeply apologetic about the unfortunate incident which occurred at Santa set on December 6, as both parties strive for families and their children to have a happy holiday experience.”
“Santa is heartbroken and crushed that he has made this child so sad and upset, and turned in his resignation,” the statement added. “The Santa company will continue to remind all Santa’s how important it is to not impose personal opinions during visits with the children.”
The statement went on to explain that, “HIP immediately contacted the family and worked with” its “Santa company in hopes of rectifying the situation.”
A visit from the “real” Santa then took place at the little boy’s home where the jolly old elf presented him with a fancy nerf gun.
