In the aftermath of the tragic death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 and in the midst of the resulting Black Lives matter protests, the problem of systemic racism in America was brought to the forefront of the American psyche. Many governments and their agencies, private and public businesses, and organizations of all kinds including educational institutions and their leaders were quick to engage in self assessment, recognize the problem of systemic racism within, and then undertake to acknowledge and accept responsibility as the first step towards Case 1:21-cv-01565-CRC Document 1 Filed 06/09/21 Page 2 of 46 confronting and addressing this serious problem.

  • Symbol of Hatred
    Information about the symbol of hatred Nazi Salute Other names: The Nazi salute, Hitler salute, or Sieg Heil salute, is also known as “Ziguvannya” in Ukrainian slang and “Throwing a Sieg” in English slang. It is sometimes inaccurately referred to as the Roman salute, though this is a separate symbol. Almost certainly a Nazi Variations: salute due to gesture and presence of Death Head Sometimes the exclamation "Zip file” is used because it sounds similar to "Sieg Heil." The number 88, the abbreviation HH (which stands for "Heil Hitler") and the inscription "Zip file" are also sometimes used as codes for this greeting. Origin: According to Nazi literature, this salute is how the ancient Germans congratulated a new king, however Nazi literature does not present any evidence to back up this claim. It is most likely copied from the Roman salute used by Italian fascists. Beginning in the 1920s, “Sieg Heil” was the Nazi party salute, which went on to become a common greeting and later a mandatory Wehrmacht salute. As a rule, the phrases “Heil Hitler” («Хайль Гітлер») and “Sieg Heil” («Зіґ Хайль») are typically transliterated rather than translated into Ukrainian. Uses: The salute involves raising one’s right hand with its outstretched palm directed upwards at a 45-degree angle, while simultaneously exclaiming "Heil Hitler,” "Heil" or the unofficial version of the greeting, "Sieg Heil.” A similar salute, the Bellamy salute, was used in the United States to swear allegiance to the flag but was abolished in 1942 because of its resemblance to fascist and Nazi salutes. Use as a hate symbol: Right-wing radicals widely use the Nazi salute as a greeting and an expression of their commitment to Nazi, neo- Nazi, and fascist ideologies, as well as Hitler's Germany.

  • Pledge of Allegiance Written for the Chicago World’S Columbian Exposition of 1893 Honoring the 400Th Anniversary of Columbus' Landing in the Americas
    Living History of Illinois and Chicago® Living History of Illinois and Chicago® – Facebook Group. Digital Research Library of Illinois History® Living History of Illinois Gazette - The Free Daily Illinois Newspaper. Illinois History Store® – Vintage Illinois and Chicago logo products. Pledge of Allegiance written for the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 Honoring the 400th Anniversary of Columbus' Landing in the Americas. Many people don’t know that the Pledge of Allegiance came out of the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855–1931), who was a Baptist minister and a Christian socialist. In 1891, Daniel Sharp Ford, the owner of the Youth's Companion, hired Bellamy to work with Ford's nephew James B. Upham in the magazine's premium department. In 1888, the Youth's Companion had begun a campaign to sell American flags to public schools as a premium to solicit subscriptions. For Upham and Bellamy, the flag promotion was more than merely a business move; under their influence, the Youth's Companion became a fervent supporter of the schoolhouse flag movement, which aimed to place a flag above every school in the nation. Four years later, by 1892, the magazine had sold American flags to approximately 26,000 schools. By this time the market was slowing for flags, but was not yet saturated. In 1892, Upham had the idea of using the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus reaching the Americas to further bolster the schoolhouse flag movement. The magazine called for a national Columbian Public School Celebration to coincide with the World's Columbian Exposition.

  • The Pledge of Allegiance Francis J
    The Pledge of Allegiance Francis J. Bellamy ● The Pledge of Allegiance was written by Francis Julius Bellamy. He was an author, and editor, and an American Baptist minister. Pledge Origins ● The original Pledge of Allegiance was published in the September 8 issue of a children’s magazine called, The Youth’s Companion as part of the National School Celebration of Columbus Day. The Original Pledge ● The original Pledge read, I Pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic, for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. In the Classroom ● Francis Bellamy and James B. Upham, convinced the National Education Association, to support The Youth’s Companion as a sponsor of the Columbus Day Celebration along with the use of the American Flag. ● By June 29, 1892, Bellamy and Upham had arranged for Congress and President Benjamin Harrison to announce a proclamation making the public school flag ceremony the center of the Columbus Day Celebrations. The Ceremony ● The Pledge was first used in the classroom on October 12, 1892 during the Columbus Day observance that followed the opening of the World’s Columbian Expedition in Chicago, Illinois! Not All Happy In 1940 the Supreme Court in the Minersville School District ruled that students in public school could be compelled to swear to the pledge. In 1943 the Supreme Court reversed its decision because the ruling violated the first amendment. I Object ● One objection states that a Democratic Republic built on freedom should not require its citizens to pledge allegiance to it. ● Also, the fact that the people most likely to recite the pledge, everyday, are small children in schools who cannot really give their consent or understand what the pledge means.

  • North Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council Standards Committee Allegations Arising from Council Consideration of Members' Allow
    North Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council Standards Committee Allegations arising from Council Consideration of Members' Allowances Report of Peter Keith-Lucas 1 THE ALLEGATIONS I was appointed by Vivienne M Geary, the Monitoring Officer of North Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council ("the Authority") to investigate and report on 6 complaints arising from the Council's consideration at its meeting of 27 November 2014 of the report of the Independent Remuneration Panel's report in respect of Members' Allowances. These allegations are as follows (the numbers relate to the Authority's indexing system for allegations in respect of member conduct). The allegations were submitted before the local government elections in May 2015. This report refers to allegations made against or by Councillor David Ord. Councillor Ord was not re- elected in the May 2015 elections and is no longer a Member of North Tyneside Council. In this report for ease of reference Councillor Ord is referred to in his former capacity, as Councillor Ord, as at the time of the incident complained of (and the allegations made) he was a Member of the Authority – 1.1 Allegation 1 – Councillor Tommy Mulvenna in respect of Councillor David Ord (NT/10/2014) Councillor Mulvenna alleged that Councillor David Ord – 1.1.1 Failed to show respect to Mr John Anderson, Chair of the Independent Remuneration Panel, and conducted himself in a manner which could reasonably be regarded as bringing the authority and his office into disrepute in that, during questions to the Mr Anderson, Councillor David Ord had been argumentative and less than professional, at one point saying that the Panel's report was "mindless crap"; 1.1.2 Failed to show respect to Councillor Frank Lott and conducted himself in a manner which could reasonably be regarded as bringing the authority and his office into disrepute in that he "gave the finger" to Councillor Frank Lott.

  • Against Capital in the Twenty-First Century
    Praise for Against Capital in the Twenty-First Century “In Against Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Asimakopoulos and Gilman- Opalsky have assembled a collection of texts that traverses the borders of Marxism, feminist radicalisms, anarchism, and the interstices existing be- tween them. This will be the leading collection for contemporary students of radical thought and practitioners of freedom for decades to come.” —Deric Shannon, editor of The End of the World as We Know It? Crisis, Resistance, and the Age of Austerity and coauthor of Political Sociology: Oppression, Resistance, and the State “Against Capital in the Twenty-First Century is more than just a reader. Draw- ing upon a vast body of theoretical, scholarly, and political literature, rang- ing from the theoretical ideas of Cornelius Castoriadis to the transformative analysis of Staughton Lynd, this book generates stunning insights into the continuity and transformation of radical thought. It deserves the widest pos- sible readership.” —Andrej Grubačić, Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology and Social Change at the California Institute of Integral Studies “In this extremely timely volume, Asimakopoulos and Gilman-Opalsky do an excellent job of weaving together the loose and disparate ends of transfor- mative theory into a unified, mutually reinforcing whole. Against Capital in the Twenty-First Century is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the theoretical and practical trajectory of radical thought in today’s world.” —Nathan J. Jun, Associate
