Was a Student Suspended for Pretending to be Transgender to Use the Girls' Locker Room?

A high school student pretended to be transgender so that he could take showers in the girls' locker room during gym class. A transgender male student has been suspended indefinitely after being accused of pretending to be transgender. He wanted to use this as an excuse to use the girl’s shower during gym class. The transgender male student also allegedly bragged about how the school would let him take showers with the girls just because he “wore a wig” and “painted his nails”. “I don’t think so. Why not? There is not anywhere in the code of conduct or dress code that says boys can’t dress like girls,” Evans commented.

Did Pope Francis Forgive 4,444 Pedophile Priests in Australia?

  

                      

Pope Francis had granted forgiveness and “covered up” the acts of 4,444 Australian priests accused of pedophilia. The Australian commission reported that not only were the priests forgiven by the Vatican for their crimes, allegations were “swept under the carpet” and never reported to law enforcement. The item quoted an early 2017 article in the German newspaper Deutsche Welle as its source, which in no way authenticated the claim Pope Francis had forgiven or covered up the acts of 4,444 priests in Australia. There have been several rumors about priests and them being pedophiles. It seems like all people are starting to speak up about sexual assault. [ 1 image, 1 link, 1 quotation, 107 words]

Parkland Shooting Conspiracies

Recently, CNN posted an article on their website detailing new conspiracy theories surrounding the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Author Nicole Chavez slams the “demonstrably false conspiracy theories” and fake news being spread about the shooting and rips on certain internet sources that are making “outlandish claims that some of the students are ‘actors’ working for anti-gun groups.” The author intends to single out these rumors as just that, and attempts to discredit them so as to prevent them from spreading further. Chavez continues on, referencing similar conspiracies that sprung up as a result of the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012, and condemning those who spread them.
