In 2020, Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas caved to pressure from the student body and [presumably] expelled Ashley Brock, a White student, over a tiktok video she made pointing out the double standard in reactions to inter-racial violence.
This is a very poor copy of an article in the 41st edition of Der Spiegel which reports on the findings of the German 's investigation into Anne Frank's alleged diary, in which they found that ballpoint pen had been used in additions made to the diary. If you read jewish sources on the diary, they claim that she re-wrote significant portions of her diary after a Dutch politician stated that the government wanted to collect diaries after the war for historical purposes.

Below is a New York Post article from 1980 referring to the same article:

"The results of tests performed at the BKA laboratories
show that portions of the work [Anne Frank's diary],
specially of the fourth volume, were written with a
ballpoint pen."
- Al Fredricks, New York Post, October 9, 1980
Anne Frank may not have
inked that famous diary

One of the last known images of
Anne Frank
A REPORT by the German Federal Criminal
Investigation Bureau (BKA) indicates that portions of
The Diary of Anne Frank had been altered or added
after 1951, casting doubt over the authenticity of the
entire work, the West German news weekly Der Spiegel
has disclosed.
The diary, a day-to-day account of the anguish of a young
Jewish and her family hiding in their Amsterdam home during
the Nazi invasion, has touched the hearts of millions.
The manuscript was examined on orders of a West German
court as of a libel action brought by Otto Frank, Anne's
father and the only family member to survive the
concentration camps, against Ernst Roemer for spreading the
allegation the book was a fraud.
This was the second suit against Roemer, a long-time critic of
the book, by Frank. In the first case, the court decided in
Frank's favor when the testimony of historians and
graphologists sufficed to authenticate the diary.
In April, however, only a short time before Frank's death on
August 19, the manuscript was turned over to techicians of the
BKA [Bundeskriminalamt, Germany's "FBI"] for
examination.
The manuscript, in the form of three hardbound notebooks
and 324 loose pages bound in a fourth notebook, was
examined with special equipment.
The results of tests performed at the BKA laboratories show
that portions of the work, specially of the fourth volume, were
written with a ballpoint pen. Since ballpoint pens were not
available before 1951, the BKA concluded, those sections
must have been added subsequently. [*]
The examination of the manuscript did not, however, unearth
any conslusive evidence to lay to rest the speculations about
the authenticity of the first three notebooks.
* Anne Frank fell ill with typhus at the Bergen-Belsen camp and
died in March 1945.
The rights of LGBTQI people have been under threat ever since the white-supremacists were empowered by their leader Donald Trump to dead-name Black and Brown bodies. Anthony Blinken will use his position as the US Secretary of State to ensure that LGBTQI sexual practices are safe from.... I'm not sure exactly. But whatever it is, it's a good thing.
Churchill begins speaking at 8:42.
This speech given by Winston Churchill before Westminster College, in Missouri is credited as a milestone indicating the beginning of the Cold War. In it, Churchill describes the Eastern Europe's falling into the Soviet sphere of influence, cites early evidence of the creation of a Communist regime in East Germany, and describes America's role as the new major power.
