Jan 17, 2023: Columbus Dispatch: Slimantics: The Republican “All Lives Matter” distortion
Every year, Rep. Kabir Karriem of Columbus, files a bill to address the Robert E. Lee holiday. First, it was to observe the two holidays on separate days, which would have given state employees an extra paid day off.
Karriem’s current bill would eliminate the Lee holiday altogether as well as Confederate Memorial Day.
Karriem’s bills have gone nowhere and died in committee.
That’s likely the fate of this bill, too. Karriem said not a single Republican has offered to sponsor the bill. That includes our Golden Triangle delegation, Dana McLean, Andy Boyd and Rob Roberson.

Feb 9, 2022: Mississippi Today: House clerk Andrew Ketchings takes credit for moving Bilbo statue out of public view
House Clerk Andrew Ketchings said he acted on his own to remove the statue of racist former governor and U.S. senator Theodore Bilbo from public view in the Mississippi State Capitol. Bilbo, known for his extreme racist rhetoric and views, had been memorialized with a statue in the Mississippi Capitol since the 1950s. Various Black legislators and others have for many years called for the removal of the Bilbo statue, saying it was inappropriate that such a vocal white supremacist was one of two governors to be memorialized with statues in the Capitol. |

👉 A transgender senior in Mississippi opted to skip high school graduation Saturday when the district refused to allow any deviations from the gender-based dress code. The student, referred to in court documents as LB, was required to dress in "socks, dress shoes, pants, a button down shirt and tie" which is Harris County School District's dress code for male graduates. In an attempt to earn more leeway in choosing a graduation outfit, LB sued Harris Central High School Principal Kelly Fuller, the Harrison County School Board, Harrison County School District, and Superintendent Mitchell King. U.S. District Judge Taylor McNeel upheld the dress code in a ruling Friday. McNeel is a Trump-appointed judge who oversaw the first hearing on Thursday and expedited the entire process in order to rule in time for the ceremony on the weekend. More at Washington Examiner
