| | Good morning from Washington, one place where two writers are driving the “woke” conversation about “anti-racism” that threatens to go mainstream. Our Jarrett Stepman has what you should know. President Trump appears unflappable as a shooting interrupts his briefing, Fred Lucas reports. On the podcast, “America on Trial” author Robert Reilly defends the Founding Fathers. Plus: a top homeland security official denounces liberal pols and the media over urban violence; why suspending the payroll tax isn’t the way to go; and sex ed that should horrify parents. On this date in 1965, the mostly black Watts neighborhood in Los Angeles explodes into five days of riots after two white police officers scuffle with a suspected drunk driver who is black. | |

“This is really about politics over public safety,” Mark Morgan, acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, says during a virtual event held by The Heritage Foundation. “This is really about trying to score political points rather than giving the American people the truth.”

Systematic sexual indoctrination would be a good description of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education programs being dished up to children in countries as diverse as Namibia, Nepal, and Nauru, and in U.S. states from Montana to Michigan to Maine.
