Despite age of consent being 16, Michigan Board of Education wants to teach ‘safe and healthy’ sex to 8-year-olds

Michigan’s Department of Education has proposed major updates to the state’s health education standards, reshaping how schools teach about sex, relationships, and identity. The draft guidelines, still under review, emphasize inclusivity, consent, and respect, and have sparked debate among educators, parents, and lawmakers across the state.

The proposal moves away from the state’s longstanding abstinence-focused framework toward a more comprehensive model. It calls for lessons that explicitly address sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, encouraging respect for all individuals regardless of their background.

Students in middle and high school would learn to define and distinguish between biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, treating each as a distinct part of personal identity. The framework also asks students to practice empathy and show courtesy toward those whose sexuality or gender differs from their own. Click here to read more.

Foreign Journalists Asked Kamala the Questions Americans Wouldn’t

Last month, former Vice President Kamala Harris made the rounds of supportive liberal networks to promote her campaign book “107 Days.” The title implied it was impossible for her to beat that allegedly despised dictator Donald Trump with so little time.

No one expected much of the interviewers, starting with ABC’s “The View",” which could have titled the interview “You Had Me at Hello.” They put a six-pack of suck-ups on the set. The “conservative” Alyssa Farah Griffin could only ask if Harris missed any warning signs.

The biggest event in that interview was co-host Sunny Hostin confessing to the Mom-ala that she felt she’d hurt her chances by asking an obvious question: Where do you differ from Joe Biden? Harris said she couldn’t think of anything. Click here to read more. Click here to read more.

Movement Barrels Forward To Euthanize 12 Year Old Children In Canada

Advocates for assisted suicide in Canada, where it’s been legal for just under a decade, are pushing to expand the practice to children.

Canada’s euthanasia program, known as MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying), started back in 2016 for people whose natural death was “reasonably foreseeable” and wanted to end their lives. It’s already been expanded — both expanding the pool of adults who are eligible and how it can be administered, leading to an explosion of suicides in recent years.

Now, groups are calling for minors as young as 12 years old to be included in the government-funded suicide program. One advocacy group, called “Dying With Dignity Canada,” recommends minors as young as 12 be included in the program, and goes as far as to suggest 16 and 17-year-olds shouldn’t even need parental consent to be killed by a doctor if they fit broad criteria.

The group calls for assessing age eligibility based on “maturity” rather than “chronological age.” Click here to read more.

Ranchers decry beef imports from Argentina, expert says good start

Consumers feeling the pang of high beef prices at the grocery store may see some relief from a plan to import beef from Argentina but it’s not likely to be much, according to an expert.

Marc Busch is an expert on international trade policy and law. He’s also the Karl F. Landegger Professor of International Business Diplomacy at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.

Busch said the increase in beef prices is the result of a combination of factors, including the lowest U.S. beef cattle headcount since 1951.

“We have a shortage of domestic beef. We have higher input prices, not least because of the tariffs, on what it takes to grow a herd, and we have a Byzantine system of import quotas that don’t make a lot of sense and that keep trade from filling in where domestic production falls short,” he told The Center Square.

Clerk’s mistake leads woman to $500K win, lottery says

COLUMBIA, S.C. - A woman in South Carolina won $500,000 off a scratch-off ticket because of a clerk’s mistake.

The South Carolina Education Lottery said the woman had bought a $10 scratch-off ticket at a Piggly Wiggly in Columbia.

She told officials she had pointed to a different one than the “Feeling Lucky?” game ticket the clerk accidentally handed her.

“I just kept it,” the woman, whose name was not released, said in a statement.
Thanks to the mistake, she won a $500,000 prize.

“It was a blessing that changed my life,” she said.

The lottery said the odds of winning $500,000 in the “Feeling Lucky?” game are 1 in 1.5 million. Two top prizes still remain for the game.
