(SRN NEWS) – President Trump has vowed to tackle the hot-button social issues in his second term. Mr. Trump has said that in the wake of Roe versus Wade’s repeal, abortion should be left to the states. But he will probably seek to roll back President Biden’s guidance that hospitals must provide abortions for women who are in medical emergencies, even in states with bans. The president has called for ending Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs in government institutions, using federal funding as leverage. He would roll back the Biden administration’s policy of promoting transgenderism.
President Trump has just begun his second term, but his influence is already rippling through state capitols. Republican governors have announced Trump-themed policies on abortion, the LGBT agenda and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs. Even some Democratic governors are tapping into the themes Mr. Trump used to get elected, as far as their party will allow them. In West Virginia, new Republican Governor Patrick Morrisey issued numerous orders on his first day, including one ending DEI initiatives at state agencies and institutions.
The United Nations has announced new actions to counter the surge in anti-Semitism, including encouraging governments to enforce laws against hate crimes and discrimination. The U.N. was created in the aftermath of World War Two and the Holocaust in which six million Jews were killed and has worked to counter anti-Semitism. However, the 193-nation world body has been accused of being anti-Semitic itself, including by President Trump’s nominee for U.N. ambassador, New York Representative Elise Stefanik. She has called the U.N. a “den of anti-Semitism” that she intends to confront.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from parents in suburban Washington who want to pull their children from elementary school classes that use books that promote homosexuality. The justices say they will review an appeals court decision that went against parents in Montgomery County, Maryland. The moms and dads argue that schools’ policy violates their constitutional religious rights by not allowing them to opt out of lessons that include the books. The plaintiffs argue that public schools can’t force kids to participate in instruction that violates their faith.
