An Allentown City Hall employee was charged with planting a noose at their desk in January, according to police.

LaTarsha Brown is charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and false reports to law enforcement, Allentown Chief of Police Charles Roca said Monday.

"Today, we're even more surprised to learn that it was likely fabricated by the employee herself," Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk, a Democrat, said.

The Allentown mayor believes the incident has helped bring the conversation over inclusion to the forefront at City Hall.

Sixty-seven years after the Supreme Court blocked Alabama from forcing the NAACP to turn over its membership lists to chill its speech, and four years after the high court extended that bar to California's attempted unmasking of a free-market group's donors, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals finally got the message on freedom of association and privacy.

The first Harvard Law class admitted into the university since the Supreme Court effectively ended affirmative action at U.S. colleges last year is significantly less diverse, with a steep decline in Black and Hispanic student enrollment, according to data reported by The Harvard Crimson.

Black student enrollment at Harvard Law took a nosedive after the Supreme Court ruled against race-based admissions last year.

The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a major ruling on affirmative action in the summer of 2023, rejecting the use of race as a factor in college admissions as a violation of the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.

The Supreme Court issued a divided ruling on a pair of challenges to affirmative action policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina, with potential implications across higher education and beyond.

The idiotic racialism of Jamaal Bowman

In the wake of the Daniel Penny verdict, the soon to be departing, progressive member of Congress Jamaal Bowman addressed a thread on X to “Dear White People.”

What followed was typical dreck. “I don’t know why I feel the need to keep talking to you,” Bowman opened his missive. “I don’t know why part of me still has hope for you and for us.”
