    Florida stands up against woke mind virus and rejects leftist university president who promised 'DEI 2.0'
    www.foxnews.com
    The defeat of Santa Ono, as the sole nominee to lead the University of Florida, is a success for Florida but also for the higher education system across the country.For a long time, our best universities fell like dominoes to the woke mind virus. Schools where rigor and merit were meant to flourish became institutions of identity politics and far-out leftism. They moved seamlessly from safe spaces to land acknowledgements to anti-Israel encampments. Education was an afterthought.Ono was the former University of Michigan president. For Michigan, he was considered a "moderate." A moderate in this case meant someone who promised, in his inauguration speech in 2023, to implement "DEI 2.0" and described racism as "one of Americas original sins."UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA PRESIDENTIAL PICK REJECTED BY STATE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OVER PAST DEI SUPPORTIn the strategy document for that DEI 2.0, the plan was to "emphasize DEI in terms of strategic priorities; build a campuswide effort; develop institutional and constituent capacity to implement and improve DEI initiatives; fully institutionalize DEI into the university; and ensure continued progress and long-term sustainability."CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONIn his previous role as president and vice-chancellor of the University of British Columbia, Ono made land acknowledgments and wrote an op-ed about the "systemic racial inequities" that "permeate the halls of academia."Ono clearly had a lifelong devotion to inserting leftist politics in his roles.WATCH: UNEARTHED FOOTAGE EXPOSES MEDICAL SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS PLEDGING TO RESIST TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDERSAfter October 7, he said he would commit the University of Michigan to "a shared commitment to pluralism, to mutual respect and to freedom of speech and diversity of thought." That didnt happen. Radical anti-Israel protesters were able to frequently interrupt events with no repercussions and the free speech of those who disagreed with them went unprotected.Over the last few weeks, Ono had been on something of a rehabilitation tour. In an op-ed in early May, Ono wrote that he agreed "with the state leaderships vision and values for public higher education" and that, "Public universities have a responsibility to remain grounded in academic excellence, intellectual diversity and student achievement. That means rejecting ideological capture, upholding the rule of law, and creating a culture where rigorous thinking and open dialogue flourish."But just a month earlier, in April, Ono had signed an anti-Trump letter as the administration used pressure to force universities receiving public funds to curtail illegal activities on their campuses. Ono had his name scrubbed from the letter once he was being considered for the UF role. His flip-flop had been so sudden that it was impossible to trust. Of course, people develop and change over the course of their lives, and its possible Ono has realized how damaging his past support for these far-left policies had been, but the recency of his conversion had given many pause.UNIVERSITIES FACING 'IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION' AS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CRACKS DOWN ON DEI: REPORTSuccess has many fathers, of course, and a number of people and organizations are rushing to take credit for knocking down the Ono pick. But the real credit goes to the Florida Board of Governors, the majority of whom were appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. It took guts to overturn the unanimous vote for Santa Ono of the University of Florida Board of Trustees and stand strong against someone who was seen as a prestigious choice for UF. The BoG final vote was 106 with one member abstaining.Several members of the Board of Governors asked excellent, probing questions of Ono, trying to get to the bottom of his beliefs. Vice Chair of the Board of Governors Alan Levine, in particular, asked pointed questions about Onos lack of response to the anti-Israel protests that had rocked the UM campus. Ono didnt have a great answer on why he took so little action to stop the encampments, the vandalism or the interruptions of events at UM. "Antisemitism will not rear its head again," Ono promised. Not at the University of Florida it wont.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM KAROL MARKOWICZ

    NY Times says 'real emergency' is Trump sending troops to Los Angeles
    www.foxnews.com
    The New York Times editorial board argued on Sunday that the "real emergency" with regard to the Los Angeles anti-ICE demonstrations was that President Donald Trump sent troops to quell the unrest.The editorial board wrote that the National Guard was typically called in for natural disasters, civil disturbances or for support during a public health crisis, adding, "There was no indication that was needed or wanted in Los Angeles this weekend, where local law enforcement had kept protests over federal immigration raids, for the most part, under control."Trump sent the National Guard to California over the weekend as anti-ICE riots escalated, with participants vandalizing vehicles and buildings and assaulting police officers to protest the ICE raids in LA.The Times editors argued that sending the National Guard in was creating "the very chaos it was purportedly designed to prevent."SEN. CORY BOOKER CALLS LOS ANGELES RIOTS PEACEFUL, SLAMS TRUMP FOR DEPLOYING NATIONAL GUARD"Past presidents, from both parties, have rarely deployed troops inside the United States because they worried about using the military domestically and because the legal foundations for doing so are unclear. Congress should turn its attention to such deliberations promptly. If presidents hesitate before using the military to assist in recovery after natural disasters but feel free to send in soldiers after a few cars are set on fire, the law is alarmingly vague," the editors wrote.The FBI is searching for a suspect accused of assaulting a federal officer and damaging government property during the anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles.On Saturday, the suspect allegedly threw rocks at law enforcement vehicles on Alondra Blvd. in Paramount, Calif., resulting in injury to a federal officer and damage to government vehicles.While The New York Times discouraged violence from protesters, it argued that Trump's move to send in the National Guard was not helping.NOEM SAYS TRUMP ADMIN WONT LET A REPEAT OF 2020 HAPPEN AS NATIONAL GUARD RESPONDS TO LA IMMIGRATION RIOTS"Mr. Trumps order establishes neither law nor order. Rather it sends the message that the administration is interested in only overreaction and overreach. The scenes of tear gas in Los Angeles streets on Sunday underscored that point: that Mr. Trumps idea of law and order is strong-handed, disproportionate intervention that adds chaos, anxiety and risk to already tense situations," the editorial board wrote.The Los Angeles Police Department declared an "unlawful assembly" Sunday night as protesters failed to disperse in the downtown area.California Gov. Gavin Newsom also criticized Trump for deploying the National Guard, accusing him of making it worse."Lets get this straight: 1) Local law enforcement didnt need help. 2) Trump sent troops anyway to manufacture chaos and violence. 3) Trump succeeded. 4) Now things are destabilized, and we need to send in more law enforcement just to clean up Trumps mess," Newsom wrote on social media.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREDuring a press conference Sunday evening, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell called the anti-ICE riots happening in the city and violence against law enforcement "disgusting."

    Trump travel ban blocking citizens from 12 countries takes effect
    www.foxnews.com
    President Donald Trump's ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens of 12 African, Middle Eastern and South American countries went into effect on Monday.The ban, signed last week, applies to citizens of Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.It also imposes heightened restrictions on people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela who are outside the U.S. and dont hold a valid visa.The order does not cancel visas that have already been issued to citizens of the countries, and those who possess them will remain free to travel to the U.S.SUSPECT IN BOULDER TERROR ATTACK DETERMINED TO BE EGYPTIAN MAN IN US ILLEGALLY: FBIThe president said on X the travel ban was being introduced after a terror attack against a pro-Israel group advocating for Hamas to release Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado, last weekend, allegedly by an Egyptian man who had overstayed his visa.In a White House fact sheet, Trump said, "We will restore the travel ban, some people call it the Trump travel ban, and keep the radical Islamic terrorists out of our country."This point was backed by the State Departments principal deputy spokesperson, Tommy Pigott. In a briefing last week, Pigott said,"This is a national security imperative.""We cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen those who seek to enter the United States," Trump said before signing the ban.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"That is why today I am signing a new executive order placing travel restrictions on countries including Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, Libya and numerous others," he concluded. "We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm, and nothing will stop us from keeping America safe."Fox News' Paul Tilsley and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

  • Anti Ice Protest La Man Spits On American Flag
    Anti-ICE protesters in Los Angeles spit on and burn American flag
    www.foxnews.com
    Protesters in Los Angeles were filmed burning and spitting on American flags as they chanted anti-Trump slogans over the weekend.Footage from the incident shows a circle of dozens of people, many wearing masks, surrounding an American flag burning on the ground. Several of the individuals then spit on the flag or sprayed flammable liquid to continue the blaze before a second flag was added to the fire.A number of the protesters held high the flags of South American countries like Mexico as the U.S. flag burned on the ground. They also chanted "F-Trump."The footage from this weekend's riots also shows officers with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department moving in to disperse the crowds, shooting flash bangs as they went.CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS SLAM NEWSOM, BASS FOR LETTING LA BURN WITH RIOTS AMID TRUMP IMMIGRATION BLITZThe Los Angeles Police Department declared an "unlawful assembly" Sunday night as protesters failed to disperse in the downtown area."Agitators have splintered into and through out the Downtown Area," the LAPD's Central Division wrote on X. "Residents, businesses and visitors to the Downtown Area should be alert and report any criminal activity. Officers are responding to several different locations to disperse crowds.""An UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY has been declared for the Downtown Los Angeles area," the department added.TRUMP BANS TRAVEL TO US FROM SEVERAL COUNTRIES TO BLOCK DANGEROUS FOREIGN ACTORSProtesters marched into the L.A. Live area, an entertainment complex in the heart of downtown Los Angeles that sits adjacent toCrypto.comArena and the Los Angeles Convention Center, and were blocking lanes on Figueroa and 11th streets, police said.President Donald Trump sent in the National Guard this weekend after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were reportedly attacked on the streets of L.A. as they conducted raids to catch and deport illegal immigrants. Seeing that neither California Gov. Gavin Newsom nor L.A. Mayor Karen Bass were moving aggressively enough to stop the attacks, Trump signed a presidential memorandum to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops to "address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester," the White House said in a statement.Newsom objected immediately even as the riots spiraled."I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command," Newsom wrote on X on Sunday alongside his letter to President Trump. "We didnt have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where theyre actually needed."Fox News' Louis Casiano contributed to this report.

    Israeli officials recently put a unique 14th-century Bible on display just a year after it was bought for a seven-figure sum.The National Library of Israel announced its display of the Shem Tov Bible in a recent press release. The library began exhibiting the centuries-old book on loan from its owner on May 8.The Jewish book, which has been called a "monumental work of biblical, artistic, Masoretic and kabbalistic scholarship," dates back to medieval Spain. It was sold at a Sotheby's auction for $6.9 million in 2024, a representative confirmed to Fox News Digital.RARE 1,600-YEAR-OLD MOSAIC FROM CHRISTIAN MONASTERY UNVEILED AFTER CENTURIES OF OBSCURITYThe Bible was created by a Kabbalist rabbi named Shem Tov ben Abraham Ibn Gaon, who completed it in 1312 in Spain. After finishing the book, he took it on a two-year-long journey to modern-day Israel.He studied Judaism for the rest of his life until his death in 1330. The Bible soon began changing hands, but it remained in the Middle East before being moved to North Africa in the 17th century."In the 17th century, it moved to North Africa where mystical powers were attributed to it, including being brought to women in childbirth to assure an easy labor," the press release noted.Pictures of the medieval Bible show intricate artwork that was inspired by the Islamic and Christian art of its day."Its design features include arcades, gothic arches, birds and beasts, gilded frames surrounding biblical verses, illuminated marginal markers, and more," the statement explained.'EXTREMELY RARE' ANCIENT OIL LAMP WITH 1,700-YEAR-OLD SOOT MARKS DISCOVERED BURIED IN JERUSALEM"These motifs were inspired by the Islamic and Christian visual languages of the period, adapted to the long-standing Jewish tradition of beautifying ritual objects."Sallai Meridor, chairman of the National Library of Israel, called the display of the manuscript "profoundly significant.""Having traveled from Spain to Jerusalem, Baghdad, Tripoli, London and Geneva, the Shem Tov Bible has come full circle and is now back home, returning to the very place where Rabbi Shem Tov ben Abraham Ibn Gaon lived and intended for it to be, in the land of Israel, and now in Jerusalem," the official said.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleMeridor also thanked the owners of the Bible, the Herenstein family, who in turn said the book "characterized the best of medieval Jewish bookmaking."The family's statement read, "We are delighted to know that the Shem Tov Bible is incorporated into the Librarys permanent exhibition of its greatest treasures, and equally delighted that the manuscript will be digitized to the highest standard, making it available worldwide, for study, research or to simply enjoy its beauty."National Library of Israel curator Chaim Neria also noted that the Bible allows scholars to study Jewish traditions "that have all but vanished from the historical record."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"A significant aspect of the codex is its observance of the Sefer Tagei, a traditional guide outlining the scribal practices required for writing sacred texts," the historian said.Neria added, "The surrounding notations reference earlier, now-lost documents, specifically the Hilleli Codex of 600 CE."The Shem Tov Bible is one of many recently publicized Jewish historical finds in the last year.Last fall, the 16th-century Di Gara text was returned to a Jewish seminary after mysteriously ending up on an online marketplace.Earlier this year, a 1,600-year-old mikveh was uncovered in Italy making it the oldest of its kind in Europe.
