Some cool things happened tonight at Harbor Lights. The 8th grade white team moved to 8-2 with their victory & the 8th grade black team decided to SPREAD INCLUSION by inviting this guy to play with them as they moved to 10-0 on the season and Holland helped make sure HE SCORED

@k_klassen11 They sure do! You are a busy guy with all your kids’ sports!!!

Kids notice. They notice this about teachers too.

RECORD WATCH | A few hours ago, Murray Key located just south of the Florida Everglades, recorded a water temperatures of 99.3 F. This sits just shy of a global record for the warmest ocean water temperature ever recorded. @MyNews13 #FLwx

Principals … here’s an awesome ice breaker your teachers are guaranteed to love…it’s called “Go work in your classroom.” #edutwitter

At Tuesdays Board Meeting, we will be asked to vote on a Resolution to censure and remove Commissioner Bonnema from all committee assignments for his HR complaint against Administrator Gibbs. This Resolution is both an audacious attempt to squelch freedom of speech and infringes on an employee’s basic rights to seek redress. It also is a disenfranchisement of all residents of District 4 who would no longer have Commissioner Bonnema representing them on our Committees. There is no process at all in our Board Rules for Censure and Removal and to my recollection, would be the first time the Board has even contemplated such a maneuver. I will be voting no, and urge my colleagues to do likewise.

Let’s go girls! 🤍🖤🤍🖤

@Scott_Ander @peytonyager @FOX4 Several countries actually have travel advisories right now against traveling in the US due to gun violence.

@peytonyager @FOX4 If this happened to Americans in another country we’d have issued travel warnings and the news would be talking about how unsafe that country is.

6yo William Cho is the only surviving member of his family after they visited the #AllenTexas mall Saturday. According to a family friend, his parents (Cindy and Kyu Cho) and his 3yo little brother James were 3 of the 8 killed in the mass shooting. @FOX4 gofundme.com/f/allen-tx-sho…

WATCH: “…it wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle. I'm a gun lover. I have guns. I'm a former police officer. I’m a former Army officer ... prayers won't bring these people back. We need action in our legislatures.”

Ralph Yarl, age 16, knocked on the wrong door in Missouri and was shot. He went to the door at the wrong home to pick up his younger twin brother and that’s when he was shot, according to police. CBS affiliate KCTV reports: “The correct address Yarl was attempting to go to was a block away. According to the victim’s Aunt, Faith Spoonmore, the homeowner opened his door and then opened fire on Yarl. The man, whose identity has not been released yet, allegedly took a second shot at Yarl, hitting him in the head again.” According to KSHB TV: “Yarl was shot by a homeowner after mistakenly arriving at the wrong address — 1100 block of Northeast 115th Street instead of 1100 block of Northeast 115th Terrace.” The shooting happened April 13th. The shooter was held by police for 24 hours, pending investigation, but then released. “I want everyone to know that I am listening,” Kansas City police chief Stacy Graves said at a news conference at Kansas City police headquarters downtown, “and I understand the concern we are receiving from the community.” “Yarl is the utmost example of how you want a young man to carry himself in this world,” said one of the teen’s longtime teachers to the Kansas City Star. Meara Mitchell, a teacher of Yarl’s for several years, called his shooting “incomprehensible.” She described him Sunday as a “stellar human-being” with a “quiet fortitude.” KCTV 5 adds: “Yarl is a section leader in his school’s marching band and is said to be a top-base clarinet player in the state of Missouri.”
