BRYAN PRESTON: Cancel Culture Comes for a 15-Year-Old Girl, Helped by the NYT and the Univ. of Tennessee. The proper response would have been to note that we expect 15-year-olds to be immature, and that the role of a university is to help them mature, not punish them for being what 15-year-olds are. That, sadly, would have required courage and principle on the part of university administrators.

STACY MCCAIN: Will the New York Times Ever Stop Slandering the South?
Nothing is more certain to convince a Manhattan liberal that black people are victims of white racism than to tell them a story set in a Southern locale. That’s why the New York Times didn’t devote 2,400 words to white teenagers who said the n-word in New Jersey or Ohio or anywhere else but Virginia, in a town whose very name invokes Confederate symbolism. Never mind the fact that Leesburg is now just part of the massive suburban sprawl surrounding Washington, D.C., and also never mind the fact that Mimi Grove was just throwing out some hiphop slang for her teenage friends on Snapchat. No, readers of the New York Times are supposed to assume that Miss Grove’s use of the n-word is reflective of the history of Loudon County stretching back decades or even centuries into the past. This is the time-proven method by which liberal media maintain the blood-guilt narrative of Southern wickedness as a permanent fixture of American journalism.
If the Times really had nerve, it would explore a pop culture that has made the N-word safe to use by countless rappers and Hollywood filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, pushing it into the mainstream. As the late Stanley Crouch wrote in 2011:
But there’s a larger point here. Anyone actually worried about the demeaning and dehumanizing effects of ethnic insults made about black people should leave “Huckleberry Finn” alone and turn their attention to the minstrel updates of hip hop. At least since the emergence of gangster rap in the early 1980s, that pop idiom has celebrated thugs and borderline whores known as “video vixens.”
This led to a black joke that says as long as there is hip hop of the most popular kind, all white bigots can relax and take a nap. All of their claims of violence and irresponsible sexual behavior have been taken over by rappers who claim to be “keeping it real.”
But that would mean taking a stand by the paper which famously adopted the motto “All the news that’s fit to print” to distinguish itself from an earlier era of gutter culture. Far easier to simply destroy a young student’s life instead.

CHANGE: U.S. appeals court blocks NY governor’s limits on religious gatherings.
The federal appeals court in Manhattan on Monday blocked New York state restrictions on the size of religious gatherings put in place to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
In a 3-0 decision, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, the Orthodox Jewish group Agudath Israel of America and two synagogues in enjoining New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Oct. 6 attendance caps at “houses of worship.”
The governor limited attendance to the lesser of 10 people or 25% capacity in “red” zones where the coronavirus risk was highest, and 25 people or 33% capacity in slightly less risky “orange” zones, even in buildings that seat hundreds.
Circuit Judge Michael Park said the plaintiffs established irreparable harm by showing the restrictions impaired their free exercise of religion.
He also said “no public interest is served by maintaining an unconstitutional policy when constitutional alternatives are available to achieve the same goal.”
Cuomo’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Monday’s decision followed the U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling on Nov. 25 against enforcing the caps.
Expect more of this.
