Daycare Workers Fired For Refusing Transgender Child’s Name Two daycare workers are suing on the basis of discrimination, alleging that they were fired due to their Christian faith after refusing to recognize a transgender child’s new identity. Via MailOnline : Two Christian childcare workers who were fired after refusing to call a transgender six year old by a boy’s name are suing the center for discrimination. Madeline Kirksey and Akesha Bogany Wyatt were sacked from the Children’s Lighthouse Learning Center in Katy, Texas, a week ago after the pupil, who had attended school for four months as a girl, began identifying as a boy. According to Adam Taylor, Kirksey’s lawyer, the child’s parents – both of whom are male – took their daughter home on a Friday, and sent her back to school the following Monday as a boy. Taylor says the child’s hair had been cut into a masculine style, and the formerly female student had been given a more classically masculine name. However, Kirksey and Wyatt refused to go along with the name change, and said they felt uncomfortable speaking to other young children about transgender issues. Kirksey also apparently feels that the child’s gay parents are pushing their daughter into being transgender: Kirksey added that she feels the male parents of the student are forcing the issue of gender on to their child, which she disagrees with. Taylor said: ‘Madeline’s rights have been violated. Literally she was sacrificed on the alter of political correctness. “It is not just Madeline and it is not just this school that we are concerned about. We need to send a strong message that Christians need to push back on this agenda.” We understand people holding on to their own set of beliefs…but is it really this teacher’s place to grandstand on this child’s struggle? On the other hand, it doesn’t seem necessary to fire her for being uncooperative…surely the child could have been moved to another class. FoxNews

Cheating Partners Murdered While In The Act A couple — each of whom had been cheating on their primary relationships for a number of years — met a grisly end during one of their secret late-night trysts . While the couple was having sex in a secluded area inside a parked car in the middle of the night, someone flung the door open and shot them both in their heads. Via MailOnline : Shakoor Arline, 25, and mother-of-five Lisa Smith, 32, were together in the back seat of a SUV in Philadelphia when someone opened the rear door and fired nine shots, hitting the pair multiple times in the head. Maintenance workers found their bodies on Friday afternoon near Lemon Hill Mansion, a historic building in the city’s Fairmount Park. Arline was naked and Smith was only partially clothed, NBC Philadelphia reported. Homicide Capt. James Clark said Arline and Smith met at work at a previous job and had been seeing each other on and off for the two years. But both were also in relationships with other people. The area they were found in is sometimes referred to as a ‘lovers’ lane’. ‘So obviously that’s where our investigation is going to start, because somebody knew that they were in the park at that time and obviously had an issue with that,’ he said. ‘You’ve got nine shots fired, all of them head shots to both of the victims, so it appears to be very much a crime of passion,’ Clark said. Damn. Now, we’re not detectives over here…but it seems pretty obvious who’s responsible for this murder. We’d be willing to bet money that either the woman’s boyfriend/husband or the guy’s wife/girlfriend gets picked up for this one sooner than later… Fox29 Philadelphia
Canon City High School Sexting Scandal Gets Serious These kids are facing felony child pornography charges over sexting, SMH. Via CBS Colorado parents are outraged and concerned as school district officials reveal new details on the “large scale” sexting scandal at Canon City High School. The school district says the scandal involves an equal number of boys and girls — including some who are only in eighth grade – who could face felony charges. This is forcing parents and administrators to re-evaluate how they monitor teen activity in a high-tech world, reports CBS News correspondent Carter Evans. At an emergency meeting Thursday night, concerned parents learned that possibly hundreds of students at Canon City High may have been collecting and trading nude pictures of themselves and friends on their cell phones, like trading baseball cards. Police are still gathering evidence and warrants to search the devices. Investigators say the teens hid the pictures from parents using special “photo vault” apps, including one that looks like a calculator. “The city of Canon city is any town, USA, it’s going on everywhere,” Welsh said. “I think it’s important that parents and students understand that the mere possession of these materials does constitute an ongoing crime,” said District Attorney Thom LeDeux. “They are scary. They are scary,” said Misty Vernetti, whose son plays football but says he wasn’t involved. “They could affect some of these boys for the rest of their lives.” The district attorney says he’ll work on a case by case basis, but students could face felony charges.

11-Year-Old Dies Saving His 7-Year-Old Sister From A Hit-And-Run At Bus Stop It’s a sad day when children are killed, but especially when their killer appears to be so callous according to a story in the NYDailyNews A brave 11-year-old boy died after he pushed his little sister out of the way of an out-of-control car as the two siblings were waiting for their school bus, his family said Wednesday. Little La’Darious Wylie sacrificed his short life last week, shoving his 7-year-old sister, Sha’Vonta, to safety as a hit-and-run driver barreled into his tiny body at a South Carolina bus stop, the children’s mother told The Herald. “He knew to look out for her,” devastated mom Elizabeth McCrorey said. The fifth grader was struck on the corner of his family’s home last Tuesday morning and died from his injuries the next day. The children were reportedly waiting for the school bus when a woman named Michelle Johnson recklessly sped toward them then immediately fled the scene without even attempting to check on either of the children or calling an ambulance. Johnson was arrested Thursday and charged with hit and run resulting in death, according to The Herald. She was released on a $25,000 bond and has no criminal record. La’Darious’s organs were also donated to save another child, his family said. The little boy who was a good student and loved playing football “had his whole life ahead of him,” loved ones wrote in a GoFundMe page started to help the family pay for funeral costs. So incredibly sad. R.I.P. La’Darious Wylie. Image via GoFundMe
