Actor Marlon Wayans says the latest iteration in the “Scary Movie” satirical franchise will “cancel the cancel culture.”

The Wayans brothers are returning to helm the franchise after they were kicked off the sequels to the first two blockbuster movies by the disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein.

‘What we’re trying to do is bring back laughter. … You have to cancel the cancel culture.’

After the trailer to ‘Scary Movie 6’ dropped, Wayans described the film in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

“What we’re trying to do is bring back laughter,” he said. “This is about bringing back comedy the way it used to be. And I think the only way to do it is you have to cancel the cancel culture.”

The movie satires are known for making mocking references to famous horror flicks, but Wayans said the newest version is trying to make a mark on the debate over censorship in art.

“We’re gonna do what we always do. We’re gonna make fun of everybody because we’re equal opportunity offenders,” he explained. “We have a recipe, we have a formula that you can’t mimic or copy. You could try, but it’s very specific. It’s how we grew up, and it’s how we see the world. It’s the household we were raised in with the sense of humor that we all were governed with, that we inherited from our mother.”

The film includes the return of many of the characters from earlier movies.

“We like to be fearless,” he added. “Yet still do things with kid gloves to let people laugh at themselves.”

Wayans has previously decried the effect of cancel culture on comedy.

“It’s sad that society is in this place where we can’t laugh anymore. I ain’t listening to this damn generation. I ain’t listening to these folks: these scared-ass people, these scared executives,” he said during a 2022 interview.

“Y’all do what you want to do? Great. I’m still gonna tell my jokes the way I tell them,” he added. “And if you want to make some money, jump on board. And if not, then I’ll find a way to do it myself. I know my audience.”

‘Scary Movie 6’ will be released in theaters on June 5.

As part of his affordability agenda, President Trump has been looking for ways to bring down housing costs.

He’s had some success. Mortgage rates are lower than at any point since his first term. The National Association of Realtors’ Housing Affordability Index has started ticking up again. And as Trump noted during his State of the Union address, the cost of buying a house has dropped about $5,000 since he took office.

Affordability is the target. A serious policy needs to increase the number of homes Americans can actually buy, not just score points against investors.

More work remains. Trump brought a guest to the State of the Union to make the point. Rachel Wiggins, a Houston mom of two, told a story many families recognize: She bid on 20 homes and “lost all of those bids to gigantic investment firms that bypassed inspection, paid all cash, and turned all those houses into rentals, stealing her American dream,” Trump said.

That experience explains the executive order Trump signed to curb large institutional investors from dominating the single-family market — driving up prices for buyers and renters alike while shrinking supply for both.

Trump’s order sets a clear policy: Large institutional investors should not buy single-family homes that families could otherwise purchase. It does that by restricting federal approval, insurance, guarantees, securitization, and other forms of facilitation for institutional purchases of single-family homes that could go to owner-occupants. It also limits the disposal of federal assets in ways that transfer single-family homes to large institutional investors.

The order goes farther. It directs the administration to promote sales to individual owner-occupants — people who actually live in the homes and care for the neighborhoods — through first-look policies, disclosure requirements, and anti-circumvention provisions. It also directs the legislative affairs office to produce legislation to codify the order.

The order includes narrow exceptions for build-to-rent projects planned, permitted, financed, and constructed as rental communities, as well as other tailored cases. It also directs the Treasury Department to tighten rules affecting housing acquisition and instructs the attorney general and the Federal Trade Commission chairman to review major acquisitions, especially serial purchases, and to prioritize antitrust enforcement as warranted.

Trump also directed Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner to require owners and managing agents of single-family rentals participating in federal housing assistance programs to disclose indirect owners, managers, and affiliates and to report changes in ownership.

In other words, Trump offered a concrete proposal: prioritize owner-occupants, expand supply, and curb the worst market distortions without choking off lawful investment that supports construction and growth.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) offered something else.

Warren unveiled legislation last week before the Senate Banking Committee, where she serves as ranking member. Her approach targets the tax incentives that support housing investment. It would impose higher taxes on any person or entity that owns more than 50 single-family homes. It would also bar access to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-backed mortgages and restrict purchases of foreclosed homes.

That is less a housing plan than a punishment plan. It aims to drive investors out, even though big investors have never owned more than about 4% of U.S. housing stock. The core problem is supply: The country does not have enough homes for a growing population. The answer is not to chase away capital that can help build housing. The answer is to align incentives so that families — owner-occupants — get first priority.

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Warren’s co-sponsor, said he’s willing to work with anyone trying to bring down home prices. Trump should take him up on that offer and make the point directly: The goal is not to punish firms that operated lawfully. The goal is to create rules that prioritize families, encourage construction, and expand affordable supply.

Affordability is the target. A serious policy needs to increase the number of homes Americans can actually buy, not just score points against investors.

A California high school is investigating a math teacher after he gave his students Algebra I quizzes that many described as sexist and fat-shaming.

Veteran educator Tom Chan was placed on leave, according to a message from Lowell High School Principal Jan Bautista on Monday to parents.

‘They’re finally teaching real world math in schools.’

The San Francisco Chronicle documented some of the politically incorrect questions.

“The amount of money you spend on a date varies inversely to how much they weigh. A typical girl that weighs 120lbs will cost you $55,” one problem reads.

Students were asked to “derive the variation equation” and then figure out how much to spend on a date “with Ashely who is 220lbs.”

“The fat kid from last time wouldn’t be quiet about the candy I was eating in front of him, so I punted him into the air,” another question reads.

“How tall are you, and how much do you weight?” students were asked.

A spokesperson for the San Francisco Unified School District released a brief statement to the Chronicle.

“We take these concerns seriously and are actively investigating,” Laura Dudnick said.

“It’s pretty shocking,” one parent said about the quizzes. “The fact that nobody has brought this up to the school and he’s been there a really long time.”

Some online took the opportunity to take their own comedic jabs.

“They’re finally teaching real world math in schools,” one comment reads.

“This precisely the sort of practical question that will get kids to take math seriously,” an NRO writer said.

“Y’all wanted culturally relevant education,” another user responded.

“Ask a 220 pound girl on a date and she’ll pay for everything,” online raconteur David Burge replied. “This why I got an 800 on the math section of my Dude Aptitude Test.”

“I’m more upset that 9th graders are doing simple ass math that Chinese kids do in the 4th grade,” another said.
