Russian authorities continue the destruction of the Turkish school in the occupied Crimea that they started back in 2014.

Today, they burned all the books in Turkish and fired all the teachers of the Turkish language. Mind you, though, the persecution against the Turkish school in the Crimea began over a year ago.

There is a narrative being promoted by the very clueless that Turkey’s decision to shoot down the Russian fighter jet that breached the country’s air space was sudden and unexpected. Nothing could be further from the truth. Russians have been provoking Turkey in every way they could for quite a while. Erdogan actually showed an uncharacteristic restraint in not responding for as long as he did. The current conflict between Russia and Turkey was a long time coming.

An Assistant Prof at Mizzou viciously assaulted a 14-year-old child because she wasn’t wearing a hijab.

I hope that Mizzou students have something to say about this hate crime committed by one of their faculty members. The department that hired and retained this woman-hater must be held accountable for its bizarre hiring practices. The administration should explain how it was possible that somebody who hates women this much was allowed to poison the campus environment for so long. I’m hoping to see a wave of protests, sit-ins and student demands about this hate crime.
