SUMMARY: The ongoing debate about what American history should be taught in schools continues, as Governor Reeves proposes to teach patriotic education in public schools, while critics argue that all history, good and bad, should be taught. This proposal is part of the broader political controversy surrounding what children are taught about American history, from the 1619 Project to critical race theory. Human Rights Campaign Mississippi State Director Rob Hill states that the proposed Mississippi Women's Bill of Rights is an attempt to promote anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Governor Reeves signed a law last year banning critical race theory from being taught in schools.

SUMMARY: April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the Schaefer Center for Crisis Intervention in Pine Belt is working to break the stigma by encouraging everyone to get involved. They provide counseling and resources for victims of sexual assault, emphasizing the importance of being an active bystander to prevent or stop sex-related crimes. Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted, with one out of every six women and about 3% of men being victims. The Green Dot training empowers the community to intervene by being direct, delegating, or distracting in situations of potential harm. Taking action can make a difference in reducing the number of victims.
