I'm somewhat reassured that former law enforcement professionals like Mr. Figliuzzi acknowledge the danger the rebirth of the crazy Confederacy is. But I'm perplexed that he, or Chuck Rosenberg, didn't seemingly, suspect complicity by the FBI and Secret Service in not responding to voluminous amount of credible information about the Jan 6th insurrection? Why didn't they act? Why go ballistic about people protesting police misconduct, the innumerable murder of innocent people? I can only hope and pray that Trump's fellow travelers in the S.S. and FBI are found and censured or drummed out. We kind of forgot about the corruption because, I think, they were our only line of defense. Let's not let this crisis go to waste. Now would a good time to make sure these agencies are in fact as good as their reputations.

I've seen Tiffany Cross speak on MSNBC. I'm a former history teacher. We don't need Critical Race Theory in schools as she claims. Cause guess what? American schools spend a great deal of time **already** talking about white supremacy in America -- slavery. We don't need CRT. Cause guess what? Slavery ended over 150 years ago. Blacks can do whatever the hell they want now. Thanks to African American heroes and leaders which we also **already** teach about: Frederick Douglass. Harriet Tubman Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Rosa Parks George Washington Carver Obama The only people who benefit from CRT are people like Tiffany Cross. The journalists, activists, authors, and professors who fight for CRT and make millions of dollars off "The Blacks Are Still Oppressed" industry. Stop dividing and ripping apart our country. Stop spreading the lie that whites want to stop black achievement. Stop CRT. CRT activists: walk the talk. Get in the trenches and serve the black community as t
