That controversial Super Bowl ad with MLK wasn't made by Dodge's Austin ad agency
[It looks like a tribute to ordinary people]( — students, construction workers, firefighters — set against epic music and a soaring sermon Martin Luther King Jr. delivered 50 years ago.
But it's also a commercial for Ram Trucks, and that didn't sit well with a lot of viewers.
"There was audible painful groaning at the Super Bowl party I'm at as everyone realized Dodge Ram was trying to profit off of an MLK speech," tweeted Hunter Walker with Yahoo News, one of several people who turned to social media to blast the brand.

Immigration
McCain boosts Hurd plan to protect 'dreamers' and enhance border security without The Wall
[Sen. John McCain threw his weight Monday behind a plan from West Texas Rep. Will Hurd]( that would protect young immigrants and beef up border security — adding momentum to a bipartisan bill that has emerged as the main alternative to a draconian push from the White House.
With the DACA program set to expire in a month, and the issue looming over budget talks, urgency has been growing to address the issue. The White House quickly rejected the approach as weak on border security.

Photo of the Day
Austin Mann and Esther Havens pose for a portrait at DFW Airport in Irving, Texas on Feb. 3, 2018.

[So he taped a special note just for her underneath a table at Starbucks](. As the relationship blossomed, he continued leaving her notes at airport Starbuckses around the globe. Six years later, Havens found another note in the Amsterdam airport Starbucks, and Mann surprised her halfway across the globe for a proposal.

Finally...
Parents, we need to start showing our kids we're proud even when they fail
From contributor Tyra Damm
[When I see one of my students struggling with self-confidence](, I wonder who whispers words of pride to that child at home.
When one of my own children makes a poor choice, I wonder if I've shared "I'm proud of you" often enough.
Maybe all those children — yours and mine — aren't always listening. Or perhaps we adults aren't always skilled at expressing love and pride while at the same time correcting and guiding.
