Appeals court rules Texas law establishing book rating system is unconstitutional

Appeals court upholds ban on rating books

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the Texas Education Agency on Wednesday from enforcing a state law requiring booksellers to rate the explicitness and relevance of sexual references in materials they sell to schools.

The appellate court, one of the most conservative in the nation, sided with booksellers who sued the state after claiming House Bill 900 violated their First Amendment rights. The court affirmed a lower court’s decision to prevent TEA Commissioner Mike Morath from enforcing the 2023 law.

Wednesday’s decision was somewhat surprising since the appellate court blocked the lower court’s ruling in November. Addressing the reversal, Judge Don Willett with the 5th Circuit wrote that a “different panel of this court” had granted the state’s appeal to block that ruling.

Alec Baldwin indicted for manslaughterA grand jury indicted Alec Baldwin on Friday on an involuntary manslaughter charge in a 2021 fatal shooting during a rehearsal on a movie set in New Mexico, reviving a dormant case against the A-list actor.

Special prosecutors brought the case before a grand jury in Santa Fe this week, months after receiving a new analysis of the gun that was used.

Baldwin’s legal team did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the indictment, and special prosecutors declined to answer questions after spending about a day and a half presenting their case to the grand jury.

Florida Bans DEI and Sociology Class From State Colleges

DiSantis

Florida's State Board of Education approved a new set of rules on Wednesday that will prohibit taxpayer funds from being “used to promote DEI” in the Florida College System.

The regulations will limit the use of public funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, activities, and policies, as well as remove a sociology class from a list of required courses, and replace it with an American history course at Florida’s 28 state colleges.

The programs implicated by the new rule are defined as anything which “classifies individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation and promotes differential or preferential treatment of individuals on the basis of such classification.”

After 604 days, Uvalde families finally have DOJ's long-awaited school shooting report

Uvalde schoolIn sometimes damning language, the U.S. Justice Department's report into the worst school shooting in Texas history describes the response by law enforcement as a "failure" with no one taking full command, and the school's police chief taking actions that delayed efforts to save lives and to confront the heavily armed gunman.

To compile the nearly 500-page report released Thursday just blocks from the May 24, 2022, carnage at Uvalde’s Robb Elementary School, the DOJ’s team collected and reviewed more than 14,000 pieces of data and documentation, including training logs, audio, video, CCTV, photographs, personal records, investigative records. On the ground, federal investigators conducted more than 260 interviews of people involved or affected, including police officers, elected officials, hospital workers and survivors.

US supreme court won’t hear case over bathrooms for transgender students

SCORUS will not hear bathroom case

The US supreme court has decided it will not hear a case centering on the debate over bathrooms for transgender students.

The decision came on Tuesday despite an appeal from Indiana’s metropolitan school district of Martinsville.

Martinsville school district officials hoped the nation’s highest court would not require allowing transgender students to use the bathrooms of their choosing.

But the supreme court rejected the case without comment.

Federal appeals courts are divided over whether school policies enforcing restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use violate federal law or the US constitution.

'Catastrophic' Arizona hot air balloon crash leaves 4 dead, 1 injured; 8 skydivers survive

Hot air balloon crashes in ArizonaA "heartbreaking" hot air balloon crash in southern Arizona over the weekend left four people dead and one critically injured, authorities said.

Eloy Police Department Chief Byron Gwaltney said eight skydivers survived the tragedy in "an empty field in a desert area" of Eloy, a city in Pinal County about 65 miles southeast of Phoenix and 55 miles northeast of Tucson.

Shortly after the skydivers completed a jump from the balloon, Gwaltney said, “something catastrophic occurred with the balloon, causing it to crash to the ground."

At a news conference, Eloy Mayor Micah Powell reported the balloon had been carrying 13 adults − its operator, four passengers and the eight skydivers.

The impact, Powell said, took place in "the world's largest drop zone" for skydivers.

US supreme court to consider Starbucks case over fired pro-union workers

SCOTUS to consider Starbucks case

The US supreme court agreed to consider a challenge by Starbucks to a judicial decision requiring the world’s largest coffee chain to rehire seven union activists in Memphis, Tennessee. A federal agency determined the workers were fired for supporting unionization.

A lower court found that Starbucks – grappling with a wave of unionization across the United States – probably discouraged other employees from exercising their rights under US labor law by dismissing the workers, dubbed the “Memphis Seven”, in 2022.

But Starbucks has appealed the ruling. On Friday, the supreme court agreed to hear its case.

While the coffee giant resisted union efforts for decades, the Memphis store is one of more than 370 of its US outlets unionize since 2021.
