⚡️ Senate passes extension of highway funding for 30 days amid infrastructure stalls
👀 Residents of the city of Douglasville in Georgia have for months been receiving threats they thought were sent by a white male KKK member. The ill-fated sender turned out to be their neighbour, 30-year-old black woman Terresha Lucas.
"The notes threatened to burn their houses down and kill them and said that they didn’t belong in the neighbourhood", detective Nathan Shumaker told Fox 5 Atlanta.
For several months, the police had to conduct door-to-door investigations questioning residents and examining surveillance videos.
The results of the extensive work turned out to be quite unexpected: while the contents of the notes implied that the author was a white male and a member of the KKK, the suspect turned out to be a 30-year-old African-American woman, Terresha Lucas, who has since been charged.

👨⚖️ A UCLA professor said he filed a lawsuit against the school after he was sent on vacation and was allegedly threatened with dismissal for not evaluating a black student more leniently than their peers.
A white student emailed Klein requesting a no-harm final for black students. The professor's response when asked what to do with students from mixed parents, for example, half black, half Asian, was considered racist and students filed a petition for his dismissal.
😒 At the present time, some teachers are walking between raindrops when assessing their students.
