| Facebook Accused of Racial Bias in Promotions, Evaluations, Hiring |
|
Facebook is facing a racial discrimination lawsuit alleging a culture of bias in promotions, evaluations, hiring, and recruiting. An African American manager at the company and two rejected job applicants filed the lawsuit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Black employees make up currently less than 4 percent of the social network's roughly 45,000-member workforce. In addition to the recent lawsuit, 500 advertisers recently decided to boycott the platform for what they say is a failure to control divisive and hateful content.

|
As of Tuesday, there were 950 reported positive cases of COVID-19 â?? 307 children and 643 staff members â?? at 668 child care locations. Statewide, 12,207 licensed child care operations are open, and total reported coronavirus cases have risen from 59 cases in mid-May and 576 on June 23. The rise comes as experts and health officials appear to diverge on how risky it is for children to gather in group settings like day care and school classrooms.
