Jew Hate in Kindergarten and more...

Hi all,

We had a very successful screening last Sunday night at UC San Diego. It now looks like we will be showing the film at one of my favorite places, Coronado, this fall as well as several other San Diego locations.

Screening requests continue to come in and we will be screening Killing America at the U.S. Capitol Building this July. Moms for Liberty will be showing the film online to over 1,000 people in July. There’s a possible fall screening in NY coming up that would be hosted by a prominent online magazine. I recently signed with a distributor, 7th Art Releasing, to help spread the film to new audiences.

I also have been fielding requests to host an national online watch party for the film, followed by a panel discussion. Please let me know your interest with the following poll:

The issue of teaching antisemitism in K-12 schools is one that is not going away. There’s been quite a few articles on it like this one from National Review:

A few days ago, Chris Rufo revealed that even kindergarteners are being taught falsehoods about the Israel-Hamas war and are being indoctrinated in liberation ideology:

Here’s one misleading graphic from the lesson:

The Hamas-Israel war is being exploited by the Left to move our education system onto the oppressor vs oppressed model. So far, they are succeeding. Why? Too many parents choose silence over action. They say, it’s not that bad — this will pass. However, this false hope ignores how much the George Floyd tragedy transformed the educational system in America, including my kids’ school which is gradually placing DEI front and center of everything.

Now, the Left is exploiting the Hamas-Israel war to advance its agenda even further. If left unchecked, today’s K-12 students will grow up accepting these biased and ideological lessons as truth and history and that is something that doesn’t just fade away with time. And too many individuals and groups refuse to see the reality of what is going on — the resistance from Jews has been especially surprising. That is why we’re committed to showing Killing America everywhere possible.

Aside from this, some of you may be aware of the Jim Crow controversy surrounding Congressman Byron Daniels. He said in a talk that more black families were together under Jim Crow. He is right. The black marriage rate was high and black unemployment was going down. However, it got distorted to this:

I bring this up because my father, Shelby Steele, and I covered extensively this in “What Killed Michael Brown?” See this clip:

Lastly and on a lighter note, I came upon a Ibram X. Kendi profile in the New York Times. Some of you may remember my exchange with him last February.

The one thing that struck me the most about the article was his level of fear and paranoia. So I posted the following to X:

I can assure you that Shelby Steele and Thomas Sowell received a greater number of threats than Kendi and yet never showed this level of fear and paranoia. The difference? Backbone and merit.

Quotes from below article:

"Kendi told me he received regular threats; he allowed me to come to the center only on the condition that I not reveal its location. 'When it comes to the white supremacists who are the greatest domestic terrorist threat of our time, I am one of their chief enemies.'"

“He doesn’t trust anybody. He doesn’t let anyone in.”

"Kendi had gone searching for answers in conspiracy theories and Nation of Islam theology that cast whites as a 'devil race' bred by an evil Black scientist to conquer the planet. 'Europeans are simply a different breed of human,' he wrote in a column for the student newspaper in 2003. They are 'socialized to be aggressive' and have used 'the AIDS virus and cloning' to dominate the world’s peoples."

“The paranoia is INSANE.”

“Ibram is so lily-livered he probably jumps when the biscuit tin pops...”

"Employees said Kendi’s fear of leaks slowed the work and created confusion and unease."

“I wonder if some of the secrecy and paranoid behavior came about as a result of (being criticized)..." "I got the impression that Kendi spent a lot of time in his head, in that defensive pose, anticipating or parrying attacks from his critics. When I asked him later where he and Sadiqa had gone on vacation over the New Year holiday, he declined even to name the country for fear that 'bad-faith people' would try to figure out where they had stayed and how much their hotel room cost."

Here’s the link to the full article.

That’s it for now. Thank you for your support! Have a great weekend.
