“Dope as Usual” podcast that he narrowly missed a 1988 school shooting after his mom barred him from going in.Johnson attended Hubbard Woods Elementary School in Winnetka, Illinois, and on May 20, 1988, a woman named Laurie Dann walked into a second grade class and began firing shots.“I was sitting next to my mom, I was in fourth grade,” Johnson said. “Out of nowhere, my mother turns to me and goes, ‘You’re not going to school tomorrow.’”The “Mummy” star explained that he was set to go on a field trip that next day and begged her to let him go since he wouldn’t physically be in class.He noted that she had a “gut feeling” that she would “never” see him again if he attended that day.Johnson recalled how Dann, who reportedly suffered from mental illness, “walked into the school wearing a robe and nothing underneath” and went into his class.“The room was empty, she walked through, walked down the hall, walked into another room, shot seven kids, killed one of them.

Oklahoma!But soon after, the school’s principal called Hightower’s father to inform him of a new district policy.“He said we’re instituting a new policy where only males can play males, and only females can play females,” Phillip Hightower told Dallas-Fort Worth NBC affiliate KXAS-TV.The elder Hightower was “devastated” by the decision, noting that Max has never been treated differently because of his gender identity — until now.Aside from being absurd — cross-gender casting has been a reality in the theater world dating back centuries — the school district’s purported policy will likely prove logistically difficult if it tries to avoid cross-gender casting, in part because there’s frequently a dearth of males in high school production casting pools.Illustrating that point, the sudden policy change also reportedly cost several other cast members their roles, according to the New York Post.Max Hightower’s adult sister, Gracie, recounted the events involving her brother, writing that some female students cast as “cowboys” were told they could not participate in the play due to the school district’s decision to intervene in casting.“Many opportunities were ripped away from kids not for bad grades, not for bad behavior, not for attendance, but for something that has absolutely nothing to do with the production whatsoever,” she wrote.A group of parents, including Phillip Hightower, plan to appeal the decision to the school board. “I’m not an activist.

law has led some administrators to censor any content that is sexual in nature unless it pertains to an academic standard.The Hillsborough County School District determined that many of Shakespeare’s works deal with or allude to sexuality (not to mention those works that contain cross-dressing characters), and should therefore be edited. As a result, some of the Bard’s classics, like Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Hamlet, now have been barred from the classroom, with students only reading excerpts of the plays in order to meet basic curriculum standards.The district said that teachers who violate the content restrictions for English classes could be subject to disciplinary action or have a complaint filed against them by a parent who believes the books or plays are “inappropriate” for minors to read.If a student wishes to read the censored plays in their entirety, they’ll have to pursue other ways of obtaining the texts on their own time, such as by seeking them out at a public library or privately-owned bookstore not subject to state regulation.Previously, English classes in the district required students to read at least two novels or plays during the school year.

Provo Canyon School in Utah, a residential treatment center where she claimed she was abused — revealing traumatic details in her 2020 YouTube documentary “This Is Paris.”“When I was 16, I was sent away, and I was emotionally, verbally, physically and sexually abused,” Hilton said Thursday on “Fox & Friends.” She continued: “This is still happening today at these places, and 200,000 children are being sent away to these places every single year.” The Post reached out to reps at the Provo Canyon School for comment.In her documentary, the “Simple Life” star alleged that she was forced to take drugs and was put in solitary confinement while at the school. While on “Fox & Friends,” she claimed some of these schools, which specialize in treating kids who suffer from addiction or emotional or behavioral problems, can sometimes “disguise” themselves.“There are thousands of these schools and they disguise themselves as emotional growth schools, wilderness camps, these are just names that they put and they have false advertising and people have no idea what’s happening behind closed doors,” she said.The “Stars are Blind” singer said she wasn’t allowed to tell her parents about what was going on at the school since everything was “monitored” — claiming that she was “cut off from the outside world.” “I’m doing everything I can in my power to fight for these children because these are children who come from families that can’t help and support them and children from the juvenile justice system, foster care system,” she told “Fox & Friends.” “And they have no voice.”She explained that she is turning her own painful experiences into advocacy for other kids in a similar situation.

The Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin, released a new policy regarding LGBTQ students in its Catholic Schools that equates being transgender to being sexually abused. The Diocese, led by Bishop David Ricken, published the new gender policy last month in its Education Policy Manual for the 2022-2023 school year.The manual explains how to “restrict” participation in the Catholic education of transgender students, staff, volunteers, and ally parents.The manual contains a section titled “Catholic Principles of Human Sexuality,” which promote current Church doctrine on sexuality and gender, including the idea that there are only two sexes, that every person’s body, as created by God, cannot be altered through social transition or medical interventions, and that heterosexual marriage is the ideal relationship for raising children and continuing the propagation of the faith.The manual also compares homosexuality or “expressing a gender that is discordant with one’s biological sex” with other sinful behaviors that are viewed as reprehensible or crude among polite society, including: the use of vulgar language, “immodest dress or deportment,” masturbation, pornography, fornication, adultery, cohabitating outside of marriage, obtaining an abortion, and sexual harassment or abuse. Section 5045 of the “Education Policy Manual” mandates that trans and non-binary people be addressed as their gender at birth, rather than based on how they identify.Based on this understanding, schools are expected to refuse to allow trans-identifying children to use their preferred names or pronouns, access gender-specific facilities that do not match their assigned sex at birth, or take puberty blockers to prevent the onset of secondary sex

KMBC reports.Last year, Utterback joined a growing trend of conservatives across the country demanding the removal of LGBTQ books from school libraries, often under the guise of objecting to “sexual content.”During an October 2021 school board meeting, Utterback attempted to convince North Kansas City School District to remove lesbian cartoonist Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel Fun Home, which chronicles her childhood in rural Pennsylvania, claiming it contained sexual material.In video of the meeting, Utterback can be seen holding boards showing enlarged images from Fun Home while standing alongside Northland Parent Association president Jay Richmond.Richmond demanded that Fun Home be removed from libraries and suggested that the board could be accused of solicitation of a minor for stocking the graphic novel due to its “descriptions and pictures of oral sex.”After students protested the attempted book ban, Utterback told KMBC, “I definitely understand their struggles.
