(AP Photo/Markus Schreiber) In Virginia, at least one town’s trying to educate kids about racism.
Via a Freedom of Information Act request, advocacy group Parents Defending Education recently obtained emails between Amazon and Arlington Public Schools.
According to documents, in February, Amazon contacted the district as part of a donation effort by its NeighborGood program.
From the initiative’s website : NeighborGood is a not-for-profit corporation that mobilizes, empowers, and resources neighborhoods financially and/or organizationally to start initiatives that benefit the schools and/or communities to which they belong. We help identify the biggest community needs and helps connect those needs to particular neighborhoods who can help. As part of the retail giant’s Black History Month measures, Amazon Public Relations Manager Justin Grayson wrote the following to Arlington Public Schools Director of Communications Frank Bellavia: “Amazon Logistics will be delivering smiles to educational institutions and nonprofit organizations that empower Black voices and serve Black communities. Through Amazon’s NeighborGood program, we have committed to donating $100,000 to a select group of recipients in Atlanta, Georgia; Arlington, Virginia; Houston, Texas; and Nashville, Tennessee.” The email indicated Amazon would contribute “items from Black-owned small businesses and books by Black authors, as well as financial donations that support the company’s efforts to invest in education and technology by providing devices to students and families in historically underserved communities.”
Justin went on to explain that, in the past, Amazon had “donated kindles, laptops, school supplies, robotics equipment.”
He relayed he’d “work to ID the best options” once the “appropriate parties” were reached.
Justin also explained the company was “looking for a school that serves a large population of Black students and families.”

Before markets collapse, the smart play is to move wealth or retirement to precious metals. Contact Genesis Gold now to make it happen smoothly with no hassles from a group driven by fellowship.
Also attractive: schools “located in an historically underserved community,” comprised of students “interested in the arts or innovation,” and having “specific other needs related to student access to technology and devices.”
Kindles may have been good, but Arlington Public Schools Director of Diversity and Inclusion Arron Gregory wrote back with the following request: “I corresponded with our library services, and this opportunity is so timely. Library services just spoke to Wakefield about trying to purchase the book Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You, […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
