Two teachers are facing disciplinary action after they were caught dragging a seven-year-old autistic boy by the legs in school surveillance footage.

Corbin Kemle was reportedly misbehaving on the playground before the incident occurred at Crestline Elementary School in Ohio in May.

His mother, Bonnie McKean, released footage of the incident on Thursday, after the county prosecutor decided against pursuing felony charges on Wednesday.

McKean said she was "speechless" after watching the video of her son being dragged through the school.

The Google engineer fired for writing a controversial memo about diversity has gone beyond referring to the company as an "echo chamber" that won't stand for dissent and now says it's "almost like a cult."

In an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal, James Damore gave his explanation for why he was fired, taking a shot at the company's culture and its famous motto.

"For many, including myself," he wrote, "working at Google is a major part of their identity, almost like a cult with its own leaders and saints, all believed to righteously uphold the sacred motto of 'Don't be evil.'"

Damore was fired at the start of this week after 3 1/2 years as an engineer for a post he wrote, laying out his view that men are biologically more well-suited than women for many tech jobs.

He's not apologizing.

A former football player was "railroaded" by a "rogue" Title IX office at the University of Southern California, according to a surprising source - his alleged "victim."

Zoe Katz, the captain of USC's women's tennis team, is accusing the university of not only ignoring her protestations that her boyfriend Matt Boermeester didn't assault her, but threatening her for speaking up.

Boermeester, a redshirt junior kicker, was suspended from USC in February after a neighbor saw the football player allegedly assault Katz a month earlier. That claim was repeated to a coach and then to the university Title IX office, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The following "six-month" Title IX inquiry took the form of "repeated interrogations" plagued by "agendas, intimidation and falsehoods," Katz wrote in a two-page statement dated Sunday given to The College Fix from her attorney.

The owner of a summer camp in California that caters to transgender and "gender fluid" children, ages 4 to 12, says she wants to help children feel comfortable with who they are. Critics argue that the camp will only confuse young children.

The Bay Area Rainbow Day Camp in El Cerrito, California, focuses on providing kids with "a safe space for the exploration of gender identity and expression."

An American company has offered its fleet of underwater drones to the Malaysia government in the search for the Malaysia Airlines jet, MH370. The jet went missing near Australia three years ago with 239 people on board.

Ocean Infinity's six autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), or drones, are capable of operating at 6,000 meters under water to collect high resolution data. The company advertises them as offering "seabed intelligence," and equipped with sonar equipment and capable of search "huge swathes of the seabed, quickly and with outstanding accuracy."

"The terms of the offer are confidential, but I can ... confirm that Ocean Infinity have offered to take on the economic risk of a renewed search,"the company said in an email to AP.

"We're in a constructive dialogue with the relevant authorities and are hopeful that the offer will be accepted," it added.

Spoof ads are appearing all around Google offices in California after the tech giant fired an engineer over a politically incorrect internal memo. A free speech protest has also been organized against Google over the controversy.

On Friday, a street artist who goes by the name Sabo took credit for plastering anti-Google fake ads just outside Google offices in Santa Monica and Venice, California.

In one of the ads, the classic Apple slogan, "Think different," is printed next to an image of Apple CEO Steve Jobs, while the words "not so much" are printed next to an image of Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Another ad features Google's iconic styling with the word "Goolag," a reference to Soviet labor camps, known as Gulags.

CCTV footage has been released showing a moped gang smashing a woman to the ground in London and robbing her of a £600 (US$775) necklace while cars drive past without stopping.

The 52-year-old woman was standing outside a Hindu temple in Lewisham, south London, when she was attacked by a man wearing a crash helmet.

The shocking video, taken from cameras overlooking the temple, shows the attacker approaching her, throwing her to the ground and violently pulling the necklace off her body while she desperately clings to her handbag.

Aleppo, a city retaken by Damascus from rebels in December last year, has become a major destination for displaced Syrians returning home in 2017 as numbers of returnees to Syria spills over 600,000, according to the UN.

Over the first seven months of 2017, over 600,000 displaced Syrians returned home, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said Friday, citing its own figures as well as those of the UN Migration Agency and partners on the ground. The returnees are overwhelmingly internally-displaced people, but 16 percent returned to Syria from other nations, primarily Turkey. The number almost matched that recorded in the whole of 2016.

An estimated 67 percent of returnees went to government-controlled Aleppo Governorate, with the provincial capital itself being the primary destination. Among other places where refugees went in significant numbers, according to ICO, is Al-Hasakah Governorate, the north-eastern province dominated by Kurds.

Stanford University will introduce a course this fall which will task students with considering "abolishing whiteness" and the ultimate goal of understanding "what is the future of whiteness," according to the institution's course catalog.

The course, which is entitled "White Identity Politics," will be taught by instructor John Patrick Moran, and analyze the "future of whiteness." For the uninitiated, the concept of "whiteness" refers to the social aspect of race. According to the University of Calgary, "whiteness" is a socially and politically constructed learned behavior built upon the systematic privileges afforded to whites in Western society.

The Stanford course looks to abolish this social concept of "whiteness" through an analysis of what the course description alleges is "the rise of white identity politics in the United States" as a result of the 2016 Presidential election. Stanford Professor Tomás Jiménez explained that "whiteness" refers to "the set of behaviors and outlooks associated with the racial category, white."

Russian police have detained 'terrorists' who planned to crash two express trains together and drive a truck packed with explosives into a celebration attended by Vladimir Putin.

They were aiming to disrupt the Confederations Cup tournament last month, a precursor to the FIFA World Cup hosted by the Russian President next year, it is believed.

Police say an alleged jihadist cell tried to target a high speed rail line used by Russia's Sapsan 'bullet' trains at Farforovskaya railway station close to St Petersburg, Putin's home city. But the plot was foiled and police have released video of arrests being made (See here.)
