The network is close to securing a spinoff of the recently rebooted - and quickly canceled - comedy, without its controversial star, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

When students at J.E.B. Stuart Elementary School in Richmond, Va., return from their summer break, they will no longer be studying at a school named after a Confederate general who fought for the rights of slave owners in the Civil War.

The push to scrub the Confederacy from the public square has resounded in favor of President Barack Obama , a Chicagoan by way of Hawaii whose name is popping up on signs and structures throughout the South.

The myth of voter fraud has long been used to justify voter suppression tactics against minorities, and, this week, Republicans -- whose crusade has been to reduce voter access by claiming voter fraud received a huge victory when the Republican majority on the Supreme Court upheld one of the most aggressive voter suppression laws in the country. She soon went to guest Dale Ho of the American Civil Liberties Union who misleadingly asserted: "Ohio says if you don't vote in a two-year period, we're going to send you a postcard.
The comedian Roseanne Barr resurrected one of the oldest and most profoundly racist slanders in American history when she referred to Valerie Jarrett, an African-American woman who served as an adviser to President Barack Obama, as the offspring of an ape.
