PNN w/Jeanine Molloff - GOP 'war on woke' violates 1st amendment

Progressive News Network

Alabama governor Kay Ivey fired a top education official over a teacher training manual that mentioned 'white privilege', and 'systemic/structural racism.' This wasn't part of a curriculum taught to children, but a training manual for teachers. This illegitimate firing is merely the latest salvo in an organized attack on democracy itself coming from the GOP. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is one of several state level attorney generals threatening to sue Target Stores over their 'Pride' merchandise. The fact that this tactic is an egregious abuse of power doesn't bother Mr. Bailey. He lives for White Christian nationalistic fascism. Citizens peacably protesting questionable projects using public money such as Atlanta's Cop City are being arrested, and some murdered. The corporate media are normalizing hate speech coming from groups like Moms4Liberty, while those on the left are being violently arrested or otherwise threatened and abused, for daring to use their 1st Amendment free speech, free press rights. Publicly elected representatives are being expelled from office by their GOP opposition for daring to speak the truth and question the MAGA agenda. While DeSantis and Trump claim this is a 'War on Woke'; it is actually a war on the 1st Amendment. Today I will discuss the attacks on the 1st Amendment sponsored by the GOP. Rick Spisak will also cover this growing fascist danger, but through the lens of official enablers in the FBI, the corporate media and the Supreme Court in a killer interview with Professor Wendy Lynn Lee. How is it that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies 'missed' the obvious insurrection being planned in PLAIN SIGHT? How did the Supreme Court enable this insurrection? We will also have our new feature, "My Little Margie." Come join me. Jeanine
