Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:55:55 GMT

Clear bags and backpacks were going to be mandatory at all Broward public schools. But now, officials decided to change course. Broward County’s clear backpack initiative will no longer move forward or be enforced in the fall. In a 5-4 vote at Tuesday’s school board meeting, the board voted to stop the rule making process, which was mandatory in order to make the clear backpacks policy. “As someone who has lost someone in a school shooting, I will say, 100%, it wasn’t about clear backpacks, it was about staff following the rules,” Debra A. Hixon said. “We have policies, we have procedures in place, they were not followed that day, and that’s why there are 17 people not walking the Earth today. The clear backpack would not have changed that day for us.” This comes after a contentious townhall that took place Monday night in Plantation.

Kaplan gave new life to a defamation lawsuit by writer E. Jean Carroll that was stalled by appeals after the U.S. Justice Department supported a request by Trump’s attorneys to substitute the United States for him as the defendant on the grounds that he cannot be held personally liable for comments made while carrying out presidential duties.The 2020 defamation lawsuit was originally filed after Carroll wrote in a 2019 book that Trump raped her in a midtown Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman store after he turned a friendly and flirtatious chance encounter between the pair into a violent encounter once behind a closed dressing ...
