SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

ANOTHER GREAT MOMENT IN EDUCATION – FROM FOX:  Brandeis University assistant dean Kate Slater says that "all White people are racist" and has declared that she hates "whiteness."  "Yes, all White people are racist in that all White people have been conditioned in a society where one's racial identity determines life experiences/outcomes and Whiteness is the norm and the default. That includes me!" read an all-caps Instagram post from Slater, who serves as assistant dean of student affairs.  She added in Saturday's post that while she doesn't "hate White people," she does hate "Whiteness."  Her comments touched on a raging debate over critical race theory and how public institutions discussed racism in the fallout of George Floyd's death.   I wonder how Brandeis parents will feel about this the next time they have to write a tuition check.

WOKENESS HAS COME TO THE HOUSE THAT RUTH BUILT – FROM THE NEW YORK POST:   Two men were escorted out of Yankee Stadium Thursday – one of them apparently in cuffs – after they hung a large pro-Trump banner from the second deck.  Video and photos show two men unveiling a “Trump Won Save America” flag on the first-base side of the stadium which prompted a Bronx cheer of boos from many in the crowd.  The two men appear to be struggling over the flag with a security guard in pictures taken by a photographer from the Post.  The men were escorted out of the stadium with one man in handcuffs.  I'm sure New York's woke crowd will regard the banner as a capital offense, worthy of the death penalty.  What would Babe think?
