  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The U.S. Department of Education terminated over $600 million in grants that the agency said were hyper-fixated on race and involved training educators and institutions on "divisive ideologies."

In a Monday announcement, the department asserted that the grants awarded to teacher preparation programs contained "inappropriate and unnecessary topics," such as critical race theory, diversity, equity, and inclusion, social justice activism and anti-racism.

The department also claims that several of the defunded programs included instruction on white privilege and white supremacy. Other defunded programs contained teacher recruitment and staffing strategies based on race.
