MIRANDA DEVINE AND THOSE CORRUPTED NEWS ORGANIZATIONS.....

The sinister media soft-soaping of Saturday’s ISIS bomb attack on the Upper East Side shows exactly whose side these corrupted news organizations are on — and it’s not yours.

They are so far in the tank for the revolutionary left that they aren’t even capable of hiding it with their usual cunning. MORE AT Miranda Devine: The far-left media showed just whose side they're on during coverage of the NYC ISIS-inspired bomb attack

ICYMI-----ABOUT THAT NY TIMES/HECHLINGER ARTICLE---FROM THE CROTON HARMON DISTRICT, STEPHEN WALKER

ABOUT THAT NY TIMES/HECHLINGER ARTICLE---FROM THE CROTON HARMON DISTRICT, STEPHEN WALKER

Dear Croton-Harmon Community:

Yesterday, an article about technology use in elementary schools that included references to the Croton-Harmon School District was picked up by The New York Times from The Hechinger Report, a nonprofit newsroom that covers education. While the piece raises questions about screen use in schools, it does not fully reflect the broader work our district has been engaged in for some time or the leadership Croton-Harmon has taken in examining this important issue.

When contacted by the reporter at The Hechinger Report, I provided a detailed written response outlining the district’s philosophy and approach to technology in our schools. Because the article did not include the full context of that response, I am sharing it in its entirety below and encourage you to review it. It reflects the message I also delivered in my recent Community Update and Superintendent’s Video on this same topic.

COURT RULES FIRST GRADERS HAVE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS IN BLACK LIVES MATTER DISPUTE

A federal appeals court has ruled that First Amendment free speech rights apply all the way down to first-graders, as the judges weighed in on a tricky case involving a student who wrote a note to a Black classmate trying to say “all lives matter.”The girl said the school principal deemed the note racist and inappropriate and gave her a talking to, ordering her to stop giving notes to classmates. The youngster said she faced a two-week ban on recess.

The parents of the 7-year-old, identified in court documents as BB, filed a lawsuit. They lost in the lower court when a federal district judge tossed their lawsuit, saying the First Amendment didn’t apply to students so young.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Tuesday that first-graders do, in fact, have some free speech rights. The appeals court sent the case back for more arguments to determine what happened and whether the school crossed any lines.  “In sum, elementary students’ speech is protected by the First Amendment,” the three-judge panel said in an unsigned opinion. The judges included two Biden picks and one George W. Bush appointee. MORE AT Court rules first graders have First Amendment rights in Black Lives Matter dispute
