Attention, Woke Leftists: Women Don’t Want Men in Restroom Stall Next to Them

Students attending Chicago public schools can now use whatever restroom they want. The change is being made in an effort to be more “inclusive” and “equitable,” according to Camie Pratt, chief Title IX officer for Chicago Public Schools. “All restrooms are open for use by anyone who feels comfortable,” Pratt said in a recent video announcing the change.  Pratt says the change is being made in an effort to comply with the U.S. Department of Education’s Title IX protections against discrimination, but there are serious concerns about how the policy…

What We Do, and Don’t, Know About Omicron Variant

There is still little data available on the new omicron variant of COVID-19 but that is not stopping some political leaders from implementing new policies and requirements.  New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has issued a vaccine mandate for employees across the city.
