Thursday, Sen. Marco Rubio addressed The King's Academy's senior class at its graduation ceremony, encouraging the 142 members of the Class of 2018 to rebel against our current culture. Rubio paraphrased the typical commencement address, most of which are full of shallow, self-serving platitudes, reflective of today's extremely secular, cruel culture.

In Denver this past weekend, some soulless busybody called the cops on three little boys working their own lemonade stand. Aged 6, 5, and 4, the Knowles boys set up a lemonade stand to raise money for Compassion International. All proceeds made from their entrepreneurial endeavor would have been sent to "a little 5-year-old boy from Indonesia with siblings, two siblings, kind of like them,” said their mother.

Parkland activist David Hogg has carved out a special place in the hearts and minds of the uber-left and is thoroughly enjoying every minute, seeming at times drunk with the power he perceives he possesses. Hogg has no power on his own, of course, but he does have substantial power bestowed upon him by the targets of his destructive activism, power that Publix, at least, acknowledges as it suspends political donations in light of Hogg's anti-Second Amendment, anti-NRA "die-in" effort.

Prompted by the actions of former quarterback Colin Kaepernick who, in the name of social justice, began taking a knee during the national anthem, the NFL released a new league policy for players during the national anthem. The league will allow players to remain in the locker room during the national anthem, but if a player chooses to appear on the field during the anthem, they're required to stand for the song's duration.

Eric Barga arrived at Covenant Presbyterian Church about a half hour early for bell choir practice. April 5 was “one of the first nice days,” Barga remembers, so he sat on the trunk of his car and began killing time by playing scales. Less than ten minutes later, two law enforcement units rolled up, having received a report of a man with a long rifle.

Today is Cultural Appreciation Day here at Legal Insurrection. While some yammer on about 'cultural appropriation' (if such a thing does exist, it's certainly not bad), we've decided to share how we celebrate various cultures. A few writers and readers have shared your stories. Leslie is all over Culture Appreciation Day and I refer you to her other posts here and here.

My mom has always been very meh about Mother's Day. She always thought (and still thinks) it's a Hallmark holiday and has said more than once that if we didn't bother appreciating her throughout the year, there was no point in doing so on Mother's Day. We always wanted to make it a special day for her and bought for her all the things you get for moms on Mother's Day. She insisted she never wanted anything other than to spend time with her babies. I never completely understood until I became a Mom.

Welcome to Legal Insurection's First Annual Cultural Appreciation Day. This day was inspired by the brave response of 18-year old Keziah Daum to the social media storm she sparked by wearing a gorgeous Chinese cheongsam dress for some selfies before her prom. Daum refused to apologize after she was deluged by social justice warriors with charges of "cultural appropriation."

I am thrilled to be able to be able to share some of my "cultural appreciation" experiences with our Legal Insurrection friends. In fact, this idea came from a response I was going to make during the social justice brouhaha over 18-year old Keziah Daum's Chinese cheongsam prom dress. I, too have such a dress.
