Officials believe the attacks are connected to a controversial sexual education school program.De Croo spoke just hours after a sixth school in the French-speaking Wallonia region was torched this week. Signs protesting the so-called Evras program were discovered in some of the schools, according to authorities.The program is a required four hours of training for students aged 11 to 12 and 15 to 16, intended to help them develop their relational and sexual lives.

The Loop Fantasy Football Update Week 2: Last-minute moves

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:33:30 GMT

UPDATE: 10:08 p.m. Saturday There’s a couple of notes tonight that fantasy mavens will need to act on. The first involves Chargers RB Austin Ekeler, who has now been ruled out of tomorrow’s game in Nashville against the Titans. This makes Joshua Kelley a very good starting option, considering how he ran freely through the Miami defense last week.Cleveland wideout Amari Cooper reportedly aggravated a groin injury during Saturday’s workout, and he is listed as questionable for Monday night’s game in Pittsburgh. You can wait the extra day and hope that Deshaun Watson’s favorite receiver can play on Monday Night Football. Or you can play it safe and start somebody else who’s playing on Sunday. … Think it over overnight …UPDATE: 11:41 a.m. SaturdayIt’s already been a big newsmaking week for Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.First, the all-pro was reported to be “hanging out” with Taylor Swift. Yes, that Taylor Swift. Now comes word that tomorrow he’ll be hanging out again with Patrick M...

NYS makes changes to red flag law fees

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:33:30 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- New York State's extreme risk protection orders - also known as red flag laws - prevent those who are a threat to themselves or others from owning a gun. The Governor recently signed legislation making the application process easier. Just last month, a total of 355 extreme risk protection orders also known as ERPOs were issued in New York. An ERPO can be filed by a family member, police officer, school official,  health care worker or district attorney, but it comes with a price tag of $210. "And a lot of people don’t have that kind of cash laying around, that’s a huge chunk of one’s paycheck in a lot of instances, and so what this bill very simply does is it waived this $210 indexing fee," said Senator James Skoufis, who sponsored of the bill. Skoufis reflected on the impact that red flag laws carry and pointed to the 2018 Parkland Florida shooting that left 17 dead. "There were all these … recountings of how many times sheriffs went to that young man’s home,...
