    School officials at Richneck Elementary School in Virginia are being accused of overlooking concerns about the six-year-old boy who went on to shoot his teacher, Insider reports.

    Now new details have emerged that the shooter had expressed threats against Zwerner before the incident. The Post obtained a message written by a Richneck teacher through the local teachers union, which revealed that the boy wrote a note to Zwerner saying that he hated her and wanted to

    “light her on fire and watch her die,”

    reports note. When the note was brought to Richneck administrators, Zwerner was told to

    “drop the matter,”

    the account claims per the outlet. 

    The boy allegedly would disturb the class by throwing furniture around in the classroom. On one occasion he reportedly barricaded the doors to a classroom, preventing a teacher and students from leaving. The family of the six-year-old said that he had

    “an acute disability”

    and is usually supervised by his parents in school however, they were not in attendance on the day of the shooting. 

    According to the outlet, Zwerner had requested help from administrators

    “two hours prior”

    to the shooting as well as

    “all year.”

    Superintendent Parker also revealed that before the shooting, school administrators were notified that the boy brought a gun into the building. He claims, staff searched the boy’s bag but didn’t find the 9mm semi-automatic pistol legally owned by his mother.

  • Married Woman Refuses To Adopt Her Nephew Before Her Sister Loses Custody, Says ‘We Enjoy Our Life As It Is’

    Married Woman Refuses To Adopt Her Nephew Before Her Sister Loses Custody, Says ‘We Enjoy Our Life As It Is’

    A married woman has taken to Reddit seeking advice on a decision she made to not adopt her infant nephew who is on the verge of going into child protective custody.

    The 34-year-old woman and her husband, 32, say they refuse to take in their sister’s baby because it will seep into their life plans. The two claim they live a very comfortable life with just themselves and their 4-year-old son and want to maintain themselves financially to be able to go on vacations, pay for classes for their son, etc. Therefore adding another child to the mix would not be feasible. 

    She wrote in her post,

    “My sister is 20. She recently had a son. My sister lives a very different life. She is the product of my father’s affair with another woman and lived with her mother until I was a teenager and my father got full custody. She was kind of a difficult teenager and made a lot of poor decisions. She still lives with my parents, and the pregnancy is the result of a friends-with-benefits situation.” 

    She alleged that her sister is not doing a good job caring for the child and might lose custody of him. Their parents, who are in their late 60s, asked her to step in and help as they are moving up in age to take on an infant at this stage of their life. She responded,

    “I told him absolutely not. We enjoy our life as it is and do not have the capacity or willingness to care for another… I feel bad for my nephew but don’t feel like it’s my responsibility to pick up where my sister failed.”

    Parents Outraged Over School Board Member’s Comments About ‘Whiteness’, Says White People Are More Dangerous Than Animals

    A Jackson County School board member, Kesha Hamilton, is receiving backlash for her recent tweets where she called

    “Whiteness” an “evil,”

    per Fox News. 

    The tweets, shared by Libs of TikTok, display a thread of Hamilton’s comments where she addresses white women as the

    “stupidest”

    and calls

    “Whiteness” an “evil.”

    It reads,

    “Whiteness is so evil.. it manipulates then says, I won’t apologize for my dishonesty and trauma inducing practices and thinks you should applaud it for being honest about its ability to manipulate and be dishonest. #Deceitful #Perfidous.”

    She went on to say that white people are more ‘dangerous’ than animals.

    “The last thing you have to worry about is an animal – though that could be a very real threat.. more dangerous are any whites you may see on the trail.. be safe!”

    Fox News reached out to Hamilton for comments where she defended her Twitter rant.

    “Whiteness defined is ‘white racialized identity (which) refers to the way that white people, their customs, culture and beliefs operate as the standard by which all other groups are compared,”

    she told the outlet. 

    “Whiteness is a construct, a normalization with a foundation in white supremacy, recent examples of the normalization of whiteness with a foundation of white supremacy are the murder of George Floyd, the massacre of Black residents in Buffalo, NY, the attempted kidnapping of MI Governor Whitmer, the attack on our Democracy on January 6th, 2021, inconsistencies of our criminal justice system, etc.”

    Parents are outraged by Hamilton’s comments and want her to be immediately removed.

    “Her racist comments should not be condoned. How can all kids feel safe when physical characteristics over which they have no control are being called evil and dangerous,”

    parent, Gina Hastings said during a public comment held on Tuesday. She also called Hamilton

    “angry and bitter.”

  • Trans Dad Got Pregnant After One-Night Stand During Transition, Says ‘I Wanted To Carry At Least One Child’

    Trans Dad Got Pregnant After One-Night Stand During Transition, Says ‘I Wanted To Carry At Least One Child’

    A 36-year-old trans dad from Seattle who identifies as non-binary and queer has taken to TikTok to share their journey of giving birth after getting pregnant by a one-night stand during their medical transition, NY Post reported. 

    Danny Wakefield says they were assigned female at birth but now identify with masculinity. Wakefield reportedly started transitioning at the age of 25 when they started taking testosterone treatments and underwent a double mastectomy (a surgical operation to remove breasts). In 2020 Wakefield revealed they were expecting a child after a one-night stand with an unnamed man. 

    Although Wakefield identifies as a trans man, they said,

    “I’ve known for my entire life that I’ve wanted children and I knew before I transitioned that I would want to carry at least one child.”

    Continuing the story on TikTok Wakefield said,

    “just because I don’t feel like a woman, that doesn’t mean I can’t take advantage of the body organs I was born with.”

    “It was the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had. I’ve fallen in love with my body in ways that I’ve never experienced before,”

    they added. Despite the trans dad’s ‘beautiful experience’ they said they are still non-binary.

    “I was born with a uterus and so the world said I was a girl, but I’m very much not a girl,”

    they wrote.

    “I’m also not a boy. I’m non-binary! I have the reproductive system that allows me to carry and give birth to a child, so that’s what I did. Transmen and non-binary people give birth, too.” 

    Wakefield gave birth to their baby ‘Wilder’ in 2020, to whose gender Wakefield has not yet identified as it’s

    “part of their story,”

    they told the outlet.

    A Canadian woman, who caused $10 million in damages after driving drunk and crashing into a home that resulted in a massive explosion is now suing the bar that administered her the drinks; She believes they should be the ones to blame, NY Post reported. 

    Daniella Leis was reportedly arrested and charged with four counts of impaired driving in August 2019 after ramming her father’s Ford Fusion into a brick home which then punctured a gas line causing a huge explosion that destroyed four homes and injured seven people. The 26-year-old was reportedly on her way home from a Marilyn Manson concert at the Budweiser Gardens arena in London, Ontario, at the time of the crash.

    “caused or contributed to by the negligence, breach of duty, breach of contract”

    by the bar. The father-daughter duo says Ovations should be the ones to pay

    “any awards or judgment amounts”

    to the victims.

  • Tracee Ellis Ross Talks About Finding Peace In Being Childless, Single & Going Through Perimenopause at 50

    Tracee Ellis Ross Talks About Finding Peace In Being Childless, Single & Going Through Perimenopause at 50

    Tracee Ellis Ross candidly shared how she feels being 50, single, and without children.

    The award-winning actress opened up on a recent episode of Glennon Doyle’s, We Can Do Hard Things podcast, where she talked about what it’s like being 50, single, and going through perimenopause.

    “I have, for my entire life, been tethered to a very routine cycle. And I’m very connected to my body, so I would know I’m ovulating. I would have all the feelings of knowing that and all of that is out the window. And I turn 50. And here I am in this open space now, sort of allowing the bubbling up of whatever might be here.”

    She went on to say,

    “I feel fertile with creativity, full of power, more and more a woman than I’ve ever been. And yet that power that I was told I must use was not used.”

    For those who are unaware, perimenopause is defined as

    “around menopause”

    and pertains to the time during which a women’s body makes the natural transition to menopause, according to Mayo Clinic.

    The Black-ish star reflected on how it’s been making peace with

    “loneliness”

    and being single. 

    “I don’t have kids, I don’t have a partner, so I have been forced to go ‘what do I want…’ I have had many wonderful ins and outs of things, but no one stuck to the pan. As a result, I get to curate my family, my chosen family around me. And I don’t think I realized the gift of that until I’ve started to get older.”
