"Tichenor said that her bill, which will be called the Kentucky Education Equality Protection Act, will 'not affect instruction on the historical oppression of a particular group of people.'”
But it will affect education on continuing effects of past oppression & on contemporary racist oppression.

30 minutes left in regulation in NCAA Women’s Soccer final between Stanford & Florida State. Match getting feisty & physical. Cardinal have had the better of it, but the longer they go without scoring the scarier it gets that Seminoles somehow strike once & win. On ESPNU.

We officially have an epidemic in college basketball. With Arizona's pantsing of Auburn tonight, 8 out of 30 games between kp top 25 teams have been decided by at least 20 points. A rate which currently dwarfs previous seasons.

Been upset all day about Kentucky fans booing Pope & the team last night in Nashville. Have never booed or bet against Kentucky. Never will. Hated the booing of John Calipari & former Wildcats last season, too. Maybe the booing will motivate & help, but was raised to be a “Keep your heads up!” guy.

Time for Pope to go full Costanza & do the opposite of whatever he would otherwise do.
Halftime: No. 11 Gonzaga 43, No. 18 Kentucky 19.
Cats finish half 5-31 on FGs, 3-20 on treys.
Worst half of UK basketball since the infamous 3-33 second half against Georgetown in the 1984 Final Four

I love soccer. I would love to attend, follow & enjoy the World Cup. But giving any kind of prize to the evil, fascist, felon, insurrectionist, misogynist, pro-Putin, sociopath, xenophobe Trump & I am out. FIFA won’t miss me, of course, but to hell with FIFA if it thinks he merits any kind of honor.
Q: Mr President, have you been told that you're going to receive the inaugural FIFA peace prize today?
TRUMP: I have been told. There's a rumor about it. That would be a great honor.

LSU WBB looking like a team that has been feasting on cupcakes. They will probably come back to win, but Duke at Cameron has been a rude awakening for the Tigers early. (Kim Mulkey must be in mourning given her relatively somber, subdued get up.)

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.
