WARNING: Content may be disturbing for some. DENTON — A criminal investigation is unfolding in Denton after a 13-year-old girl is attacked on a school bus by adults. The bus was leaving Bettye Myers Middle School last week when the 8th-grade girl says she was attacked by someone she says she didn't really know. Earlier in the day, she'd heard rumors that the girl, new to the school, wanted to fight her. "She said if I didn't keep her name out of my mouth, then she was going to beat me up," explained the student we'll call "Nicole" to protect...

MOUNT HOREB, WI -- An active shooter threat led to schools in the Mount Horeb Area School District to implement a full lockdown Wednesday. According to the Mount Horeb Area School District, the threat was neutralized outside the middle school. Authorities said without giving details that the "alleged assailant" was harmed, and a witness said she had heard gunshots and saw dozens of children running. Shannon Hurd, 44, and her former husband, Nathian Hurd, 39, sat in a car waiting to be reunited with their 13-year-old son, Noah, who was still in the locked-down school. Shannon Hurd said she was...

'I am horrified by the actions not taken by school administrators, who allowed this student to enter back into school days' after naming 45 students and teachers on a kill list, said the worried...

SHOULD CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTERS BE A PART OF K-12 SEX-ED? California law requires K-12 students to receive comprehensive sexual health and HIV-prevention education. Should that education include information about anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers? Some California schools already do so — California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced earlier this month that his office sent a letter to one such center, Modesto Pregnancy Center which provides sex ed curriculum materials to Modesto City Schools District, demanding that it provide proof that the center provides medically accurate and unbiased sexual health education to public school students. A California Republican lawmaker has introduced a...

(Live Action) — In an op-ed for USA Today, elections columnist Sara Pequeño admits the real reason that abortion advocates are fighting so hard to stop a prenatal development video from being shown to students in schools. It isn’t the video’s so-called “inaccuracy,” even though they repeatedly claim it will “mislead” people because it tracks the baby’s development from fertilization instead of from the mother’s last menstrual period (an estimated two weeks before the baby’s existence). The specific issue they take with Live Action’s “Meet Baby Olivia” video is that by sharing a realistic look at the development of preborn...

Weird how we never hear about men's toilets or locker rooms becoming gender-neutral or 'unisex', isn't it? Only women's locker rooms and bathrooms must be converted to accommodate men who think they're women. In Brisbane, girls are afraid to use the bathroom -- a basic and necessary biological function -- because the now unisex spaces are populated with boys loitering outside and urinating in waste bins. But suck it up, young ladies. Can't make a man feel unsafe or unwelcome. Why were the girls facilities converted to “gender neutral”? Why is it the girls who lose out? Who thought it...

The co-founder of The Satanic Temple has challenged Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to a debate on religious freedom in America after the governor said this week that Satanists can't be part of a recently approved chaplains program for public schools.

The law takes effect on July 1. In comments made Thursday, DeSantis said the new measure...

Students at a Utah middle school staged a walkout to protest their peers who identified as 'furries' - people who dress up in costumes of animals - scratching and biting classmates. The hours-long protest took place outside Mt. Nebo Middle School in Payson, Utah, on Wednesday. It was triggered by a petition demanding a stricter dress code, with some middle schoolers reported the offending students were physically attacking other people. A 'furry' is anyone with a strong interest in anthropomorphic animals. Enthusiasts often don full-body animal costumes and gather at 'furry' conventions. The allegations from inside Mt. Nebo Middle School...

Yikes. It's been just over a year since Audrey Hale killed six at Covenant School in Nashville, TN. Authorities still haven't released Hale's manifesto (something the police said they were 'considering' for release a year ago), but the Left insists Hale was 'right-wing' and not one of their own.
