Not long after the French Jewish group UEFJ sued Twitter, Facebook and Google in Paris for how they monitor hate speech on the Internet, the social media platforms are vowing to tackle hate speech within the next 24 hours. Over the course of about six weeks in April and May, the anti-discrimination watchdog flagged what they described as undoubtedly racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic hate speech, 90 percent of which was reportedly found on Twitter and YouTube. The majority of that hate speech, the UEFJ said, remained online for an average of 15 days following requests for removal. Photo by Bethany Clarke/Getty Images Beyond national laws blocking h…

She often found herself echoing the virtues taught in Dietrich’s only church. Kindness and patience can overcome ignorance in the mostly white, rural community, she told her kids. Forgive.

The attack came after the woman said she spent months trying to convince school officials that her and he…

Rick Perry penned a Fox News op-ed blasting a recent report that Chris Kyle — the late Navy SEAL known as the “American Sniper” — embellished his military record by claiming he was awarded more medals than he actually received. Chris Kyle (AP Photo) Perry called the Intercept, which ran the article on Kyle, a “click-hungry website” and a “leftwing publication whose only knowledge of the military was likely acquired while Googling derogatory slogans to scrawl on protest signs.” He added that the Intercept’s research was “inadequate” and produced a “slanted interpretation of valid data and some overly dramatic language.” More from Perry’s Memorial Day…
