Well, Good Morning!
Let's take a look at what the day has in store for us.
So, let's dig in, shall we?
Here's What You Need To Know... 2 coaches have been charged with murder in relation to the death of a student Last month, the Atlanta-area grand jury indicted Larosa Walker-Asekere and Dwight Palmer after the death of Imani Bell, a 16-year-old high school junior. In nearly 100-degree weather, Bell was participating in required conditioning drills for the girls' basketball team when she collapsed after running up the football stadium steps. Bell died later that day of heat-related cardiac arrest and kidney failure, according to the wrongful death lawsuit filed by her family.
The family's lawsuit says school officials violated a Georgia High School Association rule banning outdoor practices in weather conditions such as those that Imani faced. It also says they never properly measured the temperature in advance. According to the grand jury indictment, coaches Larosa Walker-Asekere and Dwight Palmer caused the teen excessive pain by conducting outdoor conditioning drills.
Walker-Asekere and Palmer have been charged with second degree murder, second degree child cruelty, involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct. The day Bell died, the temperature ranged from 96-99 degrees with a heat index of 101-106 degrees. Bell and seven other students were told to run 1 mile, followed by exercises, a hill run and a run of the football stadium steps. Bell was reportedly struggling on the last lap of the run and walked the stairs with "physical assistance" from a coach. She collapsed at the top of the steps before her death at the hospital.
Why more lawmakers are getting banned (at least temporarily) by Big Tech Since March, Big Tech companies have apparently censored government meetings and silenced officials 15 times. Of those deletions and bans, nine were permanent. This issue has been particularly troublesome for officials who worry about how public comments could impact their ability to share information with all residents. Some commissioners are giving YouTube the boot, entirely, saying, "We the commissioners are here to do the people's business, even the people that maybe didn't vote for us, and we do it in front of the people, that's how it should be done."
Even high-ranking lawmakers are dealing with the issue of being silenced on social media platforms. This week alone, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was temporarily banned from Twitter for sharing her beliefs that the vaccines don't work. And YouTube removed a video posted by Senator Rand Paul, adding that he could not post additional content for another week. The video that was removed included claims that cloth masks were ineffective in curbing virus spread, while N-95 masks do work. He added: "Dr. Fauci knew that too, which is why he originally lied to the public and said that the masks don't work. He feared not enough health workers would be able to buy N-95 masks if the public was buying them. Ask any doctor or nurse what mask they wear when they go into a […] patient's room: only an N-95 mask, because the other masks don't work."
