    Local California women’s rights activist Beth Bourne protested the policy allowing transgender students access to girls’ locker rooms by stripping down to a bikini at a local school board meeting. Bourne, who chairs the Moms for Liberty in Yolo County, took part in the Davis Joint Unified School Board meeting on Sept. 18, where she highlighted school policies on locker room access. “I’m a parent in the Davis Unified School District, and I’m here today to talk about the policies you have for the locker rooms in the junior high schools. So Emerson, Holmes, Harper Junior High. Right now, we...
  • Largest town in US held in contempt for producing just 17 of nearly 3K court-requested emails over school-bus cameras

    The largest town in America has been held in contempt by a New York judge for releasing just 17 of nearly 3,000 emails sought in a battle over alleged illegally issued school-bus-camera tickets. State Supreme Court Justice Maureen McHugh Heitner last week ruled that the failure of the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, Long Island, to produce the roughly 3,000 records amounted to “willful disobedience and resistance.” The town had agreed to release the records after signing an agreement in June with the Brooklyn-based Aron Law PLLC, which is repping accused scofflaws — yet Hempstead has produced only 17...

    The challenge to the Gun Free School Zone (GFSZ) case from Billings, Montana, involving Gabriel Metcalf, has an interesting twist. The judges in the case asked the attorneys on both sides to present briefs addressing the impact on the case from Rehaif v. United States, 2019. Rehaif established a precedent that, in order to be found guilty, the defendant had to know he belonged to a category that was barred from possessing a firearm, as that was one of the elements of the crime. As mentioned in previous articles, local officials repeatedly told Gabriel Metcalf he was not violating the...

    This is the wrong kind of book cracking. Two rotten Florida boys allegedly caused over $50,000 in damages to their school library — and were turned in to police by their own moms, according to officials. The alleged bad seeds were identified as 12-year-old Felix Cohen Romero and 13-year-old Bentley Ryan Wehrly, who confessed to the outrageous vandalism of the Friendship Elementary library in Deltona, according to a Facebook post from the Volusia Sheriff’s Office. Chaotic bodycam footage posted to Facebook Sunday showed officers responding to a fire alarm at 1 a.m. — guns drawn as they stumbled through a...

    JESSE WATTERS: A suicidal transgender who hates Trump's Christians and Jews shoots up kids at a Catholic school and the media wants to take away your handgun. So how are we supposed to protect ourselves from trans shooters? The media is bad at pattern recognition. We aren't. Just two years ago, another trans 20-something walked into a Christian school in Nashville with a rifle and shot three kids and three adults. They buried the manifesto and locked down the case. We've seen trans shootings in Colorado and in Maryland. They even shot up an ICE facility in Texas. And it...

    Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki shamed Christians on Wednesday who were praying for those afflicted in the Annunciation Catholic School shooting. A now-deceased gunman fatally shot two children ages eight and ten and injured 17 others by opening fire through the window of the Catholic Church during a Mass service. Following the tragedy, Psaki wrote on X that “prayers” are “not freaking enough” to stop school shootings. “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings. [P]rayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough...

    A school board meeting in California descended into explosive debate after a girls' volleyball team forfeited to an opponent with a transgender player. The players on the Riverside Poly High School girls' volleyball team chose to forfeit last Friday's game against Jurupa Valley High School. Multiple parents previously told Fox News Digital the forfeit was in response to the presence of trans athlete AB Hernandez on the Jurupa Valley team. Local parents showed up to the Riverside Unified School District board meeting on Thursday to speak out in support of the girls who forfeited and against the school district for...

    Two high school students under the age of 18 in Fairfax County Virginia claimed school officials arranged abortions for them at a local healthcare center, without informing their parents, thereby violating state law. Virginia is “a parental-notification” state, meaning parents must be notified of any abortion related procedure and give consent. This incident is said to have happened in 2021, years after the law took effect back in 1998. WJLA covered the incident on Wednesday, writing that Fairfax County Public Schools are launching an investigation into the matter. “We learned yesterday of these concerning allegations from 2021,” FCPS said when...

    Every man has a hobby or two. Some, like stamp collecting or bowling, reveal very little about his character. Others ... well, let me point you in the direction of Donald Barr, father of former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr. When Donald wasn’t doing his 9-to-5 work as headmaster at the exclusive New York City private school Dalton, he was busy writing some rather peculiar science fiction. His 1973 novel, "Space Relations: A Slightly Gothic Interplanetary Tale," envisions a universe where the elite indulge in the most depraved of activities. On the planet Kossar, trafficking, sexual debauchery, and the enslavement...

    A new K-12 online school is focusing on promoting American principles and "eliminating woke ideology." The president of the American Virtual Academy, Damian Creamer, told Fox News Digital that he wanted to provide an alternative to parents who were fed up with liberal ideology being taught in the classroom. "We’re really focused on giving families an opportunity to put their kids in a school that is going to respect their values and make sure that we're teaching American principles and providing a different option to families out there than what they typically run across," Creamer said. The online-only Kindergarten through...

    When Sen. Ted Cruz pitched the president on the most far-reaching federal school choice measure on the books, he encouraged Donald Trump to consider his legacy. “I made the argument to him that there was no provision in this bill that would have a greater legacy than the school choice provision,” Cruz told The Daily Signal in an exclusive interview. The Texas Republican authored an amendment in the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act expanding Section 529 college-savings plans to allow parents to pay for K-12 education expenses up to $20,000 per year. Previously, the distribution cap for the tax-neutral savings...

    Unsympathetic defendants make for bad precedents. This is what happened in the Rahimi case, where the Supreme Court opened the door a crack, allowing judges to believe they can create more exceptions to Second Amendment rights. Rahimi is cited as the reason for the upholding of the Gun Free School Zone Act in the Fifth Circuit. On January 29, 2023, 25-year-old Ahmed Adballa Allam had been living and traveling around the United States in his father’s Toyota RAV4 since July of 2022. He had purchased an AR-15 type rifle in Pennsylvania on the way to California. He had traveled to...

    Philadelphia's public school system, according to documents provided to the Free Beacon, teaches identity politics and hosts radical pro-Hamas employees.. Philadelphia’s public school system has become an "absolute cesspool" of anti-Semitism and anti-American hatred, according to local parents, who say Gov. Josh Shapiro (D.) has "completely ignored" their pleas for help. Since Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, Philadelphia school officials have publicly defended terrorism, called for the release of convicted cop killers, claimed Israel is an "apartheid theocracy," and denounced the United States as a "criminal Amerikan empire." The Philadelphia school district settled a federal discrimination case with the Department...
