Morning Wire, Daily Wire's new podcast, has quickly gained popularity and is making waves in the podcast charts, ranking high on both Spotify and Apple. This success not only provides listeners with quick, compelling news stories but also contributes to breaking the hold of establishment media. A recent notable event covered on Morning Wire involved a clash between doctor Anthony Fauci and senator Rand Paul during a senate hearing, with Paul accusing Fauci of lying to Congress, which could potentially lead to legal consequences. The implication being that Fauci may have broken the law regarding funding of gain of function research in China and its potential relation to COVID-19. This is a developing story, and Morning Wire is at the forefront of bringing you the latest updates.
Senator Paul Accuses Fauci of Lying About NIH Funding for Wuhan Research: Senator Paul accused Dr. Fauci of lying to Congress about the NIH funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, contradicting Fauci's May denial.
During a Senate hearing, Senator Rand Paul accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of lying to Congress about the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. The research in question, carried out by a Wuhan Institute researcher named Doctor Shi Zhengli, involved combining bat coronavirus genes with a SARS related backbone to create new viruses that could replicate in humans. This research, according to Senator Paul, fits the definition of gain-of-function research, which the NIH reportedly paused between 2014 and 2017. In May, Dr. Fauci denied that the NIH had ever funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan. However, Senator Paul's accusations suggest otherwise, leading to a heated exchange between the two. Dr. Fauci, being under oath, was asked if he wished to retract his statement from May 11th where he claimed that the NIH never funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan. The implications of these allegations are significant, as they tie into the broader debate over the origins of COVID-19 and the role of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Senator Paul and Dr. Fauci's Contentious Debate over Gain of Function Research and Parental Concerns over Critical Race Theory in Education: Senator Paul and Dr. Fauci clash over gain of function research definition, while parents express concerns over critical race theory's politicization in education, leading to debates and tensions in scientific research and education policy.
The debate between Senator Paul and Dr. Fauci over the definition of "gain of function" research in the context of virology continues to be contentious. Senator Paul, a medical doctor, accused Dr. Fauci of not understanding the science, while Dr. Fauci dismissed Senator Paul's concerns. Meanwhile, in the education sector, the focus on critical race theory in public schools has become a contentious issue. Parents are expressing concerns over the politicization of curriculum and the potential for forced equality and the promotion of Marxist ideologies. Professional teacher organizations, such as the National Council of Teachers of English and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, have made race a dominant theme in their annual conferences this summer. The National Science Teaching Association is even holding a conference titled "What is social justice teaching in the science classroom?" which racially segregates attendees into "affinity groups." These developments highlight the ongoing debates and tensions surrounding scientific research and education policy in the United States.
Emphasis on social justice and race in education at mathematics conference: Despite a focus on improving outcomes for minority students through addressing hidden racism in education, there's a lack of concrete data showing effectiveness of teacher training programs, declining scores since 2013, and uncertainty among teachers about new direction.
The mathematics conference this year has placed a significant emphasis on social justice and race in education. The rationale behind this focus is the belief that schools can improve outcomes for minority students by addressing hidden forms of racism. However, there is a lack of concrete data to show that these teacher training programs specifically are effective in achieving this goal. In fact, reading and math scores have been declining since 2013, and the pandemic has further set students back. It's unclear what the average teacher thinks about this new direction, as the agenda is being set by national teachers' councils and unions. Despite this, the focus on race and identity continues to be a dominant theme in education conferences.
