Parent gives passionate speech opposing Critical Race Theory
A parent is receiving praise for his speech caught on camera. Ty Smith gave an impassioned speech in opposition of Critical Race Theory. The speech was made during a school board meeting concerning the use of the teaching method in Central Illinois. Smith passionately spoke against the teaching method calling it the exact opposite of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s teachings. Mr. Smith, who is a conservative Podcast host, says he would not be a successful college graduate if he believed the concept of critical race theory. The father went on to say this particular belief and teaching will divide children instead of bringing them together. Critical race theory is a teaching theory that focuses on injustice to ethnic groups under the American law system. The theory claims these groups in America are disadvantaged due to the lack of reform in the U.S. legal system. Smith says if this theory is taught in Central Illinois schools’ there is no reason to celebrate or remember Dr. King in that school district because this theory dismisses King’s speeches on peace and unity among different ethnic groups in the US.

Chinese Government reportedly working on national digital currency
There is a surprising new addition to the push for a digital currency. The nation of China is reportedly trying to push its citizens into accept a government created form of ditigal currency. According to reports the communist government is working to create a digital currency that will replace their paper money and coins. The plan according to a former analyst with the CIA is to create a cashless society. According to the expert there is more to the potential move then just currency. Digital currency would give the Chinese government control of its citizens financial income since the government would be the only ones distributing this currency. This would give them the ability to monitor, control and freeze assets whenever the Communist government wished. The idea of a cashless society is controversial because it could lead to issues with hackers attacking digital systems. This could also lead to the eventual elimination of currency leading to people using their hands, or a mark as spoken of in the Bible. The Chinese government according to sources is already testing the system and plans on making a major test run in 2022 during the Beijing Olympics.
