NEW FROM EFSP: GEORGE SANDERS

New from our friends at EFSP: Goerge Sanders

English actor George Sanders (1906-1972) had a career that spanned over 40 years which he divided between the UK and the US. His heavy, upper-class English accent and smooth, bass voice often led him to be cast as a sophisticated but villainous character. He had a rare heroic part in Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent (1940). He is also remembered for his roles as Jack Favell in Rebecca (1940), Addison DeWitt in All About Eve (1950), for which he won an Oscar, and the voice of Shere Khan in Disney's The Jungle Book (1967). 

Sanders was married four times, including to Zsa Zsa Gabor and her sister Magda. In his final years, he suffered from severe depression and committed suicide in a Spanish hotel.  More at European Film Star Postcards: George Sanders

YOUNGKIN, VIRGINIA, EQUITY----"MANIACAL FOCUS ON EQUAL OUTCOMES".....HAS ONE WORD FOR WOKE EQUITY AGENDA

Glenn Youngkin Has One Word for Fairfax Schools' Woke Equity Agenda

Spencer Brown | January 16, 2023 11:15 AM

Virginia's Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin hasn't shied away from the culture war playing out in some of the Commonwealth's biggest school districts after numerous scandals came to light showing significant failures and attempted cover-ups in Fairfax and Loudoun County public schools.

The latest educational malpractice to come to light was the district's failure to notify its students of their national merit recognition and, as the governor and Virginia's Attorney General Jason Miyares launch greater oversight of how Fairfax County schools are being run, Youngkin is not holding back in his criticism.

"It impacts their ability to apply to college for scholarships, and in this idea of a 'golden ticket' as it is called was withheld from them — and it seems to have been withheld from them for the purpose of not wanting to make people feel bad who didn't achieve it," Youngkin said of Fairfax schools' latest scandal in an interview with Northern Virginia ABC affiliate WJLA.

"All of a sudden, we see it spreading around to the rest of Fairfax County," Youngkin explained.

"The reality is that we have a superintendent in Fairfax schools who has explicitly stated that her top objective is equal outcomes for all students, regardless of the price," Youngkin continued. "Now we know the price includes paying $450,000 to a liberal consultant to come in and teach the administrators in Fairfax County how to do this.  READ MORE AT Glenn Youngkin Has One Word for Fairfax Schools' Woke Equity Agenda (townhall.com)
