Nightly News in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• A fourth grade teacher in Virginia sparked controversy with a history lesson whereby Black students were subjected to participating in a mock slave auction. A school official admitted, “The lesson could have been thought through more carefully, as to not offend her students or put them in an uncomfortable situation.” Hopefully, there aren’t any Native American students in the class for additional lessons.
• A new global study showed being unemployed increases a person’s risk of premature death by 63 percent. Um, has anyone checked to see if a spike in early deaths fueled the lowered unemployment rate?
• The New Jersey Nets were fined $50,000 by the NBA after minority owner Jay-Z was spotted in Kentucky’s locker room during the NCAA Elite Eight competition. League rules prohibit excessive contact with college players until they declare for the NBA Draft. Sounds like Jay-Z just made a rookie mistake.
• Authorities in Franklin Park, Illinois, found $27 million worth of cannabis in a moving truck. Somewhere, there’s a very disappointing housewarming party.
• Johnson & Johnson will cough up $70 million to settle civil and criminal charges of bribing European doctors and paying kickbacks to the Iraqi government to illegally gain business. Hey, maybe that moving truck filled with $27 million of cannabis belonged to J&J bribe artists.
