A Virginia-based tech company will pay >$38k in penalties for posting a #discriminatory#job ad that only sought to hire White US citizens, the #Justice Dept announced.
Arthur Grand Technologies Inc, a firm that provides IT services, in March 2023 posted a job ad for a business analyst position on the hiring site Indeed that asked in a bolded note for “Only Born US Citizens [White] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas,” acc/to a DOJ news release. “Don’t share with candidates,” the ad read in brackets.
It's obvious what happened at the University of #Virginia on May 4th. The police were rioting. If the authorities had just left the students alone, the pro-Palestinian encampments would have been dissolved on their own accord.

Like other #SchoolDistricts across the #South, the county had decided to remove the #Confederate leaders’ names during the national reckoning about race sparked by the 2020 killing of #GeorgeFloyd.
Private donations will fund the implementation of the name change, according to the school board’s meeting agenda.
Virginia school board votes to restore Confederate names to two schools.
CNN reports from Shenandoah County, where the schools were renamed four years ago. "That 2020 move was part of a resolution condemning racism and affirming the district’s 'commitment to an inclusive school environment.'" None of the 2020 board members still serve.

Back when they were an independent brewer, I took a tour of their factory, where I fell in love with their aged Oak Barrel Stout, growlers, and their amazing root beer.
Since then they were sold to a larger company, and looks like they've been permanently closed for 6 months.
"Freedom. Prosperity. Strength. That's what America stood for under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump -- the best president of my lifetime. [🤣] That's why I'm introducing legislation to rename Dulles as the Donald J. Trump International Airport," Rep #GuyReschenthaler said on X.

"Congress must act on pressing issues like reauthorizing the #FAA & passing the #NationalSecurity supplemental. Yet this is what… #HouseRepublicans leadership focuses on -- renaming #Virginia's #Dulles airport after #Trump," Abigail Spanberger wrote on X.
