Summary: <br> <p>Welcome, to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and <br> analysis from a Black Left perspective with your host Glen Ford and <br> co-host, Nellie Bailey. </p><br> <p>– The FBI has issued new guidelines for <br> advising teachers who to look out for in terms of political dissent in <br> the classroom. The FBI’s guidelines are mainly targeted at Muslims, but,<br> according to Michael German, a fellow at the Brennan Center for <br> Justice, the language could also be used to persecute almost any person <br> or group that a teacher did not like or understand.</p><br> <p>- In <br> Inglewood, California, community members protested yet another police <br> killing. 31 year-old Kisha Michael, a mother of three sons, and 32 year <br> old Marquintan Sandlin, a father of four daughters, were shot dead by a <br> police SWAT team, apparently while they were asleep in a car. Keith <br> Jackson is an organizer with the Stop Mass Incarceration Network. He <br> assisted the victim’s families in organizing this weekend’s protest.</p><br> <p>-<br> Virginia Sewell is the aunt of Kisha Michael, the mother of three who <br> was killed by the Inglewood, California police. Ms. Sewell says the <br> community is outraged.</p><br> <p><strong>- </strong>Donald Trump has caused <br> sheer panic among establishment Republicans, many of whom claim they’ll <br> leave the party if Trump wins the presidential nomination. But, how <br> should the Black Left view the Trump campaign? We asked Dr. Anthony <br> Monteiro, a member of the Black Radical Organizing Committee, which put <br> together a conference on the Black Radical Tradition, in Philadelphia, <br> back in January. Monteiro says both political parties are in trouble, <br> and Trump’s rise is just a symptom of the crisis.</p><br> <p>- This month marks the 15<sup>th</sup><br> anniversary of the historic United Nations conference Against Racial <br> Discrimination, Xenomphobia and Related Intolerance, in Durban, South <br> Africa. BAR editor and columnist Ajamu Baraka, a founder of the U.S. <br> Human Rights Network, attended the Durban conference back in 2001. Later<br> this month, Baraka will be in The Netherlands to lead a panel <br> discussion at on the Durban process.</p>
