The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.
The Iowa Legislature has passed a "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Act" forbidding any use of these words or discussion of goals toward those ends. Hmm? Sounds a lot like cancel culture to me. What's next? An act forbidding fairness, justice and truth?
