LGBT discrimination brought to city council, addressed by Lubbock mayor

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

A

nnually the Human Rights Campaign organization prints up a scorecard on a wide-variety of issues and subjects, ranging from corporate, political and social issues.

Lately though, one of the more widely publicized scores that have been coming to light are LGBT issues and individual states support for them, according to their website.

Texas, among many other southern states, has scored low overall on issues such as housing discrimination, employment policies and transgender healthcare — there are seven areas that show the state does not support, according to the scorecard.

Lubbock’s lack of legal support for the LGBT community was brought up to the city council in a June 2016 meeting by Tony R. Thornton-Tippit, LGBT activist and president of the Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays organization.

Starting research on this subject in 2015 after the city of Houston failed to enact policies that allowed for fair transgender bathroom use, Thornton-Tippit said he thought if Houston does not have any LGBT protections, then more than likely Lubbock does not as well.

“I found, of course, nothing comes up in the city of Lubbock — personnel, policies or city ordinances that are inclusive in their non-discrimination policies,” he said.

However, because the state overall has not enacted non-discrimination policies this has not barred individual cities to incorporate their own polices. Thornton-Tippit used cities like Austin, Dallas and San Antonio as models.

After Mayor Dan Pope was elected in May and other new city council members in June, ThorntonTippit said, he thought it would be a good time to bring it up to the city council. Points like these should

also be relatively easy to enact, he said, after Lubbock also implemented an ordinance that protects Uber drivers from discriminatory practices in May. “I feel like the other things need to be looked at,” he said, “in addition to the Uber (issue).”

For Pope, he said, there is to be a long discussion city officials will need to have as to treating this as a municipal, state or federal responsibility. On a federal level the case law is specific and protects everybody, he said.

“Even though congress has not gone back and added the language, that was suggested in our council

meeting a few weeks ago,” Pope said. “Congress hasn’t even added that to the federal law.”

Looking into practices for city employees, Pope said he feels comfortable with the way the city treats those within the LGBT community — they are covered under their healthcare system very well.

But right now the city council has to weigh out what is most important at the moment, Pope said.

At the moment there has yet to be any city council official that has seen this as a majorly important issue. The first thing needed to get out of the way is going to be the city budget, after that other

Black Student Association responds to Twitter situation After a tweet was posted from the organization’s account on July 6, the Texas Tech Black Student Association responded to the situation again on Friday.

The tweet read “All lives don’t mater (sic), white lives don’t matter, blue lives don’t matter, black lives matter,” and was posted the day before a shooting in Dallas killed five law enforcement officers.

On Wednesday, they created a new Twitter account, @BSATXTech, and released a statement saying the tweet does not reflect the organization or its beliefs. It also said they would be looking into who sent the tweet out and how they received access to the account.

A new statement was emailed to The Daily Toreador and put on the Black Student Association’s new Twitter account on Friday evening.

“The events of last week have tested the nation and while the South Plains is not the center of the controversy we are not immune to the dialogue. Earlier this

week The Black Students Association had a statement attributed to our organization that is unfortunate and untrue,” the organization said in the statement. “It was negligent on our part that our account access was compromised and we take full ownership of the mistake.

We do not endorse the message or the messenger. However in this moment, on a campus of Higher Learning we are reminded that we are all students and the lesson for us and the nation is simple; own your mistakes and learn from them. This situation has initiated a campus dialogue that not everyone wants to have, but we believe it is necessary. As leaders of The Black Students Association we are encouraged by other student leaders and organization who have embraced this opportunity to discuss, acknowledge, accept and celebrate differences.”

The Black Student Association said in the statement they want to follow their mission and expand

people’s thinking while narrowing their differences.

issues should be able to get more focused attention.

However, Pope said, he has asked officials including the city attorney’s office to look into specifics as to current policies and ordinances.

“I can’t predict whether this will be something that we as a group take up,” Pope said. “I don’t think it’s going to be something that we take up in the next 60 days.”

In Thornton-Tippit’s view, he said, all of the legwork has been done for the city. There has been a diverse, though unofficial, committee that has aided in incorporating the correct language and legal documents that would need

to be imposed.

This imposition is not meant as an attack on the city, he said. This is a simple proposition that needs to be addressed. Thornton – Tippit and his advocates are willing to do research and present it to the city, he said.

“I don’t think anyone wants a world where we discriminate against and we’ve been down that road as a country,” Pope said.

“And that’s not something we want and what I hope we can be as a city is a city where everyone is valued and where everyone is treated equally.” @MichaelCantuDT

Tech fills two student affairs positions

By MCKENZI MORRIS

T

Editor-in-Chief

exas Tech announced the hiring of Matthew Gregory as the dean of students and Kimberly Thornton as the director of the Center for Campus Life on Monday.

Both are new to Tech and come from colleges in Louisiana according to a Tech news release.

Juan Muñoz, senior vice president for the Division of Institutional Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement

and vice provost for the Division of Undergraduate Education and Student Affairs, said both Gregory and MUÑOZ Thornton will help Tech achieve success and they are great additions to the Red Raider family.

“We are thrilled to have two new student affairs professionals of this caliber join the Texas Tech family,” Muñoz said in the release. “Two strong search committees

were assembled and a national search was conducted for each position, and we were fortunate enough to attract the attention of two rising stars within student affairs and student services in higher education. I look forward to great things from Dr. Gregory and Ms. Thornton as they help Texas Tech achieve greater levels of student success.”

Gregory has been working in higher education since 1996 and came from Louisiana State University, according to his website, where he served

as the associate dean of students and director of student advocacy and accountability.

He said he decided to come to Tech because the position is meant to be an advocate for the students and the campus is a great environment with rich traditions and a sense of pride.

“I am thankful for the opportunity to serve the Texas Tech University community,” Gregory said in the release. “From the moment I stepped foot on the beautiful Texas Tech campus, I was im-

pressed by the commitment and pride exhibited by the students, staff and faculty I had the privilege to meet.

I welcome the opportunity to attend events and meet fellow members of the university community during my tenure as the students’ dean.”

Thorton was previously the director of career services at Louisiana State University Shreveport according to the news release. She will be in charge of all student involvement activities, including Greek life, Red-to-

Black, Student Government Association and the Tech spirit programs.

Getting to watch the students grow and help them while at Tech is what Thornton said she is most excited for.

“Texas Tech is such a great university full of opportunity, and I am excited to be working with staff and students as the new director,” Thornton said in the release.

“I have worked in other areas of a university, but this is the area I enjoy the most.” @McKenziMorrisDT

Vietnam veteran receives Medal of Honor WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama awarded the nation’s highest military honor to a Vietnam War veteran on Monday, noting that the story of retired Lt. Col. Charles Kettles’ bravery nearly 50 years ago serves as great inspiration at a time when Americans could use some.

Kettles led helicopter flights carrying reinforcements to U.S. soldiers and evacuated the wounded after they were ambushed in combat operations near Duc Pho in May 1967, helping to save more than soldiers.

Obama said the story was quintessentially American because Kettles showed the importance of looking out for others and how nobody should be left behind.

“This shouldn’t just be a creed for our soldiers. This should be a creed for all of us,” Obama said.

Obama said during the ceremony that after police shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge, the nation has had “let’s face it, a couple of

tough weeks.”

“For us to remember the goodness and decency of the American people in a way that we can all look out for each other even when times are tough, even when the odds are against us, what a wonderful inspiration, what a great gift for us to be able to celebrate something like this,” Obama said.

Obama told how Kettles repeatedly returned to a landing zone under heavy fire. He is credited with helping to save 40 soldiers and four members of his unit. During the final evacuation effort, he was advised that eight soldiers had been unable to reach the helicopters, so he returned without benefit of artillery or tactical aircraft support.

The Army said his helicopter was hit by a mortar round that damaged the main rotor blade and shattered both front windshields. Small arms and machine gun fire also raked the helicopter.

“In spite of the severe

damage to his helicopter, Kettles once more skillfully guided his heavily damaged aircraft to safety,” the Army said in describing his actions. “Without his courageous actions and superior flying skills, the last group of soldiers and his crew would never have made it off the battlefield.”

The Veterans History Project launched a formal campaign to upgrade Kettles’ Distinguished Service Cross for his actions that day to the Medal of Honor.

After the Pentagon agreed his actions merited an upgrade, Congress passed legislation waiving a time limitation for the award, and paving the way for Obama’s action.

Obama said Kettles was humble and described how Kettles had noted there were some 74 pilots and crew members serving in that mission.

Obama said that Kettles had remarked of the ceremony: “This seems like a hell of a lot of fuss for something that happened 50 years ago.”

Caregiver gets Zika virus from man who died SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah man who became the first person in the continental U.S. to die after being infected with the Zika virus passed it to a caregiver, creating a medical mystery about how it spread between them, health officials said Monday.

The two people did not have sexual contact and the type of mosquito that mainly spreads the virus is not found in the high-altitude area where they live, the Salt Lake County Health Department said.

The caregiver is a “family contact” and has fully recovered, but officials did not give further details, including how the virus was transmitted.

“Our knowledge of this virus continues to evolve and our investigation is expected to help us better understand how this individual became infected,” said Dr. Angela Dunn, deputy state epidemiologist at the Utah Department of Health. “Based on what we know so far about this case, there is no evidence that there is any risk of Zika virus transmission among the general public in Utah.”

The man who died in late June caught the virus while traveling abroad to an area where mosquitoes are known to spread Zika and had an unusually high level of the virus in his blood, officials said. The exact cause of the death announced July 8 was not clear because the man was elderly and also had an underlying health condition.

Campus political divide is nonsense I

t is a mystery to me as to why we hold such steadfast loyalty to party and social ideology that continually encourages dogmatic animus to those on the other side of the social and political spectrum.

The campus was shown a great example of this hatred last week when a tweet sent out by the Black Student Association gained media friction with something along the lines of “All lives don’t matter, white lives don’t matter, black lives matter.”

This statement by itself is a domineering example as to how wrong some movements can be interpreted. However, through further investigation that did not take much effort, the public, as a whole, found out it was an accident.

Even though it did seem as though some type of ignorance accompanied someone to stir up the pot, a supplicant apology was

issued and all should have been well.

Should have been.

It was from the back a pejoratively stentorian voice condemned, unjustly might I add, the group for their tweet. The polemic attack came from the Young Conservatives of Texas at Texas Tech, a group who has before highlighted what is wrong with Tech.

It is through ignorance this group continually poisons the way people view the conservative ideology.

Continually the group gives off weak-handed animadversions while simultaneously showing off their diminutive acceptance of fruitful conversation about the exhibition of

competing ideologies.

There was once a time when the title of conservative meant to be tradition — one who held onto wisdom and thoughtfulness. The father of modern day conservatism, William F. Buckley Jr., I feel, would roll over in his grave if he saw what passed as conservative values today.

Continually the Young Conservatives parade their ignorance with a hubristic manner that would make Kanye West look like Mother Theresa. It was last April they wanted to host a lecture with a cattle prodding Breitbart writer Milo Yiannopoulos, which caused major uproar on campus.

Their hosting of this guy was not to create conversations about racism, economic inequality or anything productive. Their lecture was basically to try and incite some type of violence on campus — it’s sadistic.

Now the group has

ASSOCIATED PRESS

reached the point where they are calling people out (drum roll, please) on Facebook.

This is the type of actions people take while they are in high school, not a fully accredited university.

Once called on to apologize to the BSA they insouciantly diverted saying, “we will not be apologizing for spreading the truth. BSA did publish this post, and we have done nothing wrong in standing with our nation’s first responders.”

But let it be known to the Young Conservatives, they are not standing with the nations first responders by acting childish in front of the whole campus. They are arrogantly pushing aside the national conversation the nation needs to have on racial discrimination and police violence.

Furthermore, the BSA has publically retracted their statement and gave a reason as to how it came

to be tweeted out. In the days of social media we can all agree any weakness in password or user names can make web pages easy accessible to anyone from anywhere. They’ve conceded this fact, apologized and created a new twitter handle because of this situation.

They are reinforcing th concomitant association between conservatism and ignorance.

That is how an adult handles situations.

The discordant nature of the Young Conservatives is showing its face in public and we as a campus can do

nothing but bow our heads in defeat. It seems to me the only reason they are a group on campus is to try and piss off as many people as possible in the short while they are students here.

They are reinforcing the concomitant association between conservatism and ignorance. For this, our newspaper had to run an entire story on how there was no story to be told here.

Those who did wrong apologized for it, that’s the story.

Those who did nothing are waving their flag of victory, filled with the bombast of a hallow win. They have accomplished nothing in calling out not only the BSA but Tech Student Democrats.

They are further dividing people when it comes to competing ideology and have made the university look like a fool in the process. @MichaelCantuDT

Trump opening GOP convention Clinton campaign condemns with call for law and order shooting of Baton Rouge officers CLEVELAND (AP) — Republicans cast Donald Trump as the right man for turbulent times as they opened their presidential convention Monday against a backdrop of unsettling summer violence and persistent discontent within their own party.

The glue keeping Republicans together was disdain for Hillary Clinton. Convention speakers planned to relentlessly paint the presumptive Democratic nominee as entrenched in a system that fails to keep Americans safe.

While safety and security was the focus of Monday’s

opening session, Trump was also trying to shore up Republican unity, in part by assuring party leaders and voters alike that there’s a kinder, gentler side to what many see as merely a brash businessman. Trump’s family is playing a starring role, beginning Monday with a prime-time speech by his wife, Melania Trump, who has kept a low profile throughout the campaign.

In a surprise, Trump announced he would come to Cleveland and go onstage on opening night to introduce her.

The convention comes amid a wrenching period of

violence and unrest, both in the United States and around the world. On the eve of the opening, three police officers were killed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the city where a black man was killed by police two weeks ago.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus welcomed delegates with a brief acknowledgement of the “troubling times” swirling outside. The chairman called for a moment of silence out of respect for “genuine heroes” in law enforcement.

“Our nation grieves when we see these awful killings,” he said.

killing of three Louisiana law enforcement officers, the latest in a recent string of shootings involving black men in Louisiana and Minnesota and police officers in Dallas. She said anyone who kills a police officer or acts as an accomplice must be held accountable.

“We have difficult, painful, essential work ahead of us to repair the bonds between our police and our communities and between and among each other,” she said.

A former Marine ambushed police in Baton Rouge on Sunday, killing three law enforcement officers in the attack. Three other officers were wounded, one critically.

The shooting, the fourth high-profile deadly encounter involving police over the past two weeks, added to the tensions across the country between the black community and police.

Recent violence has cost the lives of eight officers, including those in Baton Rouge, and two civilians, and it has sparked a national debate over race and policing.

Clinton also acknowledged that the violence has gone both ways, pointing out the socio-economic disparities that have plagued the African-American community to the nearly uniformly black audience.

Trump team says Kasich ‘embarrasing’ GOP CLEVELAND (AP) — Donald Trump’s supporters promised party unity this week at the Republican National Convention. Then his campaign manager called the Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich “embarrassing” and “petulant” for refusing to show.

The remarks escalated an intra-party feud that had many Republicans groaning and wondering whether the party could conclude this week’s festivities with any semblance of civility.

“John Kasich is being petulant,” said Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, to reporters Monday morning at a Bloomberg breakfast.

Manafort later, at a convention briefing, said that Ka-

sich — the last member of the crowded GOP primary to end his campaign, clearing the path for Trump’s nomination — made “the wrong decision” in skipping the convention.

“There were no conditions for him. We invited him to speak at the convention. He chose not to,” Manafort said.

Ohio Republicans quickly pushed back.

“Manafort still has a lot to learn about Ohio politics,” Ohio GOP Chairman Matt Borges wrote on Twitter.

“Doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Hope he can do better.”

Manafort, speaking hours before Trump was to take the stage in Cleveland for the first time, also drew Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Port-

man into the dispute, saying Portman is “very upset” with Kasich and believes the governor’s lack of support for Trump is hurting his own reelection campaign. Portman is locked in one of the year’s toughest Senate races and is grappling with how closely to align himself with his party’s presidential nominee.

P o r t m a n ’s c a m p a i g n quickly disputed the idea of a rift between the Ohio senator and governor, who are longtime friends and colleagues.

“That’s totally false,” said Corry Bliss, Portman’s campaign manager. He added that Portman and Kasich are “working hand in hand” on the senator’s campaign and “any suggestion otherwise is inaccurate.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Hillary Clinton on Monday called for an end to the “madness” after the death of three law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, condemning a series of recent shootings involving police and vowing to hold those who kill police officers legally accountable.

“They represent the rule of law itself, if you take aim at that and at them you take aim at all of us,” Clinton told civil rights activists at the annual convention of the NAACP. “There can be no justification, no looking the other way.”

Culver places second at NACAC Championships Texas Tech track and field sophomore Trey Culver placed second in high jump on Sunday at the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletics Association U23 Championships in San Salvador, El Salvador.

With his silver medal, the United States won the event according to the Tech Athletics website.

Culver cleared the 1.95 meter bar on his first attempt to start the competition according to the website.

He made it easily through the next six bars to get to the 2.16 meter jump.

He cleared that bar, making it a battle between him and East Carolina’s Avion Jones for first place according to the website.

Both men cleared at 2.19 meters to keep the competition alive, but after the 2.22 meter jump Culver came in second.

The silver medal is another trophy for Culver during the 2016 season according to the website. He won the NCAA Indoor high jump title as well as the Big 12 Conference outdoor high jump earlier this season. @DailyToreador

Former Cardinals exec sentenced to prison for hacking Astros HOUSTON (AP) — A federal judge sentenced the former scouting director of the St. Louis Cardinals to nearly four years in prison Monday for hacking the Houston Astros’ player personnel database and email system in an unusual case of high-tech cheating involving two Major League Baseball clubs.

Christopher Correa had pleaded guilty in January to five counts of unauthorized access of a protected computer from 2013 to at least 2014, the same year he was promoted to director of baseball

development in St. Louis. He was fired last summer and now faces 46 months behind bars and a court order to pay $279,038 in restitution. He had faced up to five years in prison on each count. Correa will remain free on bond until he reports to federal prison within about six weeks.

Correa read a letter in court before he was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Lynn N. Hughes and he said he was “overwhelmed with remorse and regret for my actions” that cost him his career and his home.

“I violated my values and it was wrong. I behaved shamefully,” he said. “The whole episode represents the worst thing I’ve done in my life by far.”

The judge scolded Correa for his continued blaming of the Astros for his actions, saying Correa was acting like he was in middle school.

Hughes did not elaborate on this information — part of a sealed presentencing report — but when he pleaded guilty in January, Correa had maintained he found proprietary Cardinals’ information in the

Astros’ database.

Hughes said Correa’s actions were primarily about a loss of trust.

“The loss is that every baseball team has much tighter security, making it harder for honest people to go about their daily lives ... A lot of little people whose lives were adversely affected by the cost taken to defend against people like you,” Hughes said.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred could discipline the Cardinals, possibly with a fine or a loss of draft picks, but has said only that he looked for-

ward to getting details on the case from federal authorities.

“Now that the criminal process has been completed, Commissioner Manfred has asked the Department of Investigations to conduct a complete investigation of the facts in this matter, including requesting information from the appropriate law enforcement authorities,” the league said in a statement.

“The commissioner hopes that the investigation can be completed promptly to put him in a position to take appropriate action.”

Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. had blamed the hack on “roguish behavior” by a handful of individuals.

“As we did with the government during its investigation, we intend to fully cooperate with the commissioner’s office in connection with its investigation so that this matter can finally be resolved,” DeWitt said in a statement Monday.

Kenneth Magidson, the U.S. Attorney in Houston, said he was pleased with the sentence, which he added concludes his office’s investigation. No one else was charged in the case.

NBC promotes Olympic unity NEW YORK (AP) — Disillusionment. Fear. Rage.

In a divided America, the political conventions are sure to arouse those sensations among the millions of viewers tuned in. Then in a commercial break, an electric guitar will blare the final lines of the “The Star-Spangled Banner” over images of a diverse group of U.S. athletes tearing up as they heard their national anthem during 2012 Olympic medal ceremonies.

The words flash by on the

screen, white on a black background, between the shots of sobbing and beaming champions: “FOR 17 DAYS ... WE ARE ALL ... UNITED.” The 30-second spot closes with a rising American flag, the graphic for NBC’s Rio Games coverage and the date of the opening ceremony.

NBC is buying ad time on other networks during both conventions the next two weeks, seeking a receptive audience for a not-sosubtle message.

“The country is more partisan, seemingly, than it’s ever been,” said John Miller, the chief marketing officer for NBC Olympics. “And for 17 days, we say we’re all united.

For 17 days, we all root for Team USA. We’ve got to put everything aside for a minute.”

The ad debuted March 15, the day of crucial primaries in Ohio and Florida, and aired on CNN and Fox News along with NBC networks. It appeared frequently during NBC’s coverage of the Olym-

pic trials, but it will again accompany non-sports fare at the conventions.

“Any place they’re talking about politics, that’s the spot we’re going to run,” Miller told The Associated Press last week.

With so much bleak news over the past few weeks — terrorist attacks, shootings and political division — another NBC ad promotes the message of global unity, with athletes narrating scenes of competitors from different countries embracing.

Bowlsby: Some in league feel Baylor scandal ‘sullied’ image DALLAS (AP) — Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby says there are members of the league’s board of directors who feel the sexual assault scandal at Baylor has sullied the image of the conference.

Bowlsby said Monday at the start of the league’s football media days that Baylor interim President David E. Garland and the chairman of the school’s board of regents will address the Big 12 board today in Dallas.

Baylor is reeling from allegations that its staff failed to properly handled accusations of sexual assault involving

some of its former players.

The school faces at least three lawsuits over the issue.

Bowlsby says Big 12 members are committed to “eradicating sexual assault” on campus. He says “it almost goes without saying that when you combine alcohol and drugs and raging hormones and the experiences of 18-22 years old, it’s probably unrealistic to think that these kinds of things are never going to happen.”

The Big 12 has asked Baylor for a full accounting relative to the alleged sexual assaults on campus and the university’s response to that situation.
