DENVER (KDVR) -- School safety is still at top of mind for Denver parents.  Ahead of a Denver Public Schools (DPS) Public Comment and Progress Monitoring Session on Monday, dozens of parents and students gathered outside DPS headquarters calling for the resignation of the board.  “We just don’t feel safe and our voices we just want to get them heard so we’re here protesting trying to get the board to resign,” Kayden Robinson, a junior at East High School, said.  DPS superintendent skips meeting with city council Danny Foster said they’re part of a group called Resign-DPS.org. “If we can get a new group of people that can understand that the whole goal is to work together to create better systems for these students then I think we have a real shot at saving DPS," Foster said. Isreall Blake, a junior at East High School, told FOX31 they’re asking for change. “It’s just a lot to go through as a student and I feel like they’ve been going around about the wrong way," Bla...

PHILADELPHIA — Royce O’Neale slapped the stanchion when reality set in. Jacque Vaughn replayed wide-open missed shots in his head at the podium while attempting to answer questions postgame. Dorian Finney-Smith sat at his locker, solemn.“F—, man,” he said.The Nets had an opportunity to even their first-round playoff series at one apiece after building momentum in an impressive first half in front of a raucous, sold-out Wells Fargo Center crowd on Monday.The wheels fell off in the second, where the offense sputtered — once again.

Perrino: Campus disruptions don’t count as free speech

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:57:47 GMT

America is experiencing two disturbing simultaneous trends: the rise of mob censorship to shut down speaking events on college campuses, and an attempt to justify it as merely the exercise of “more speech.”At SUNY Albany this month, protesters stormed an event, formed an improvised conga line and prevented a lecture — ironically, titled “Free Speech on Campus” — from beginning.In a now notorious incident at Stanford Law School last month, protesters shouted down a federal appellate judge’s speech.And in November, hecklers drowned out conservative commentator Ann Coulter at Cornell, playing loud music, chanting, shouting at her and repeatedly preventing her from speaking. “We don’t want you here, your words are violence,” screamed one heckler.I have defended free speech on college campuses for over a decade. We’ve seen waves of shout-downs before. But few defended the disruptions. In fact, they were usually met with near-universal condemnation.Not so anymore. Some now argue that drow...
