University forcing incoming freshman to take sex ed training course teaching that women can revoke consent after sex

sex assault training course

The mandatory course treated the sexual assault prevention training like a video game
American University is requiring all new students take a controversial sex education training course or face academic discipline.

In screenshots obtained exclusively by Red Alert Politics, American University asks students hypothetical questions about sexual encounters in an online course called "Campus Clarity: Think About It." The program also asks students personal behavioral questions like how many sexual partners they've had and how often they drink.

"Alex and Jen played beer pong together and she even made out with him," the module prompts. "How then could Alex have assaulted her?" one hypothetical asks.

The material teaches that women can change their mind about consent the day after an encounter, effectively leaving women with the ability to re-write history and accuse sexual partners of inappropriate behavior despite receiving consent.

Father of murdered Parkland shooting student files wrongful death lawsuit against officer who stayed outside school during shooting

Andrew Pollack

Andrew Pollack, whose daughter was murdered in the Parkland school killing
Andrew Pollack's daughter, Meadow, was murdered in the Parkland school shooting in February. On Monday, he filed a wrongful death lawsuit against a number of parties, including the school resource officer who was on duty at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on the day his daughter died.

The school resource officer, Broward County Sheriff Deputy Scot Peterson, remained outside the building while Nikolas Cruz killed seventeen people on Valentine's Day.

Other defendants include the estate of Lynda Cruz, James Snead, Kimberly Snead, Henderson Behavioral Health, Jerome Golden Center for Behavioral Health, Inc., and South County Mental Health Center, Inc.

In a Twitter post, Pollack announced: "I filed a wrongful death suit against Deputy Peterson today. I want to expose that coward so bad. Where ever (sic) he goes I want people to recognize him and say that's one of the cowards of Broward. The SRO that let those children and teachers die on the 3rd floor!"

Some birthdays are not for celebrating. Last month Yemen's civil war slipped into its fourth year. It's a war without obvious good or bad guys: Security Council investigators have documented violations of international humanitarian law by all sides. UN human rights officials nonetheless claim that the "leading cause" of civilian casualties are airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition, which backs Yemen's President Hadi against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels and allied supporters of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh. The coalition's air operations may not be any more indiscriminate or lacking in precaution than Houthi artillery and missile attacks, but are certainly more powerful and widespread.

What is Britain's involvement in a war the UK government itself calls the world's largest humanitarian crisis? Limited, if ministers are to be believed.

Throughout the Yemen conflict, Saudi Arabia has remained by far Britain's leading arms export customer. Half of all UK exports of weapons and military equipment from 2013 to 2017 went to the Kingdom (up from 28% in 2007-11). Most were for the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF), 151 of whose 324 combat aircraft are British-supplied, along with weapons, ground systems, parts and spares.

The death of a 19-month-old baby girl, following a brutal rape by her aunt's partner, has caused shockwaves across Chile. Protests have erupted demanding punishment of the perpetrator of the horrific attack against the infant.

On Sunday, the bleeding baby Ambar was brought to a hospital in the Valparaíso Region by her aunt with her boyfriend, who claimed that the 19-month-old girl had suffered an injury after falling from a bed. The doctors who battled to save the toddler's life, however, saw a completely different, shocking story of a savage rape.

Hospital de Los Andes medics immediately figured out that the injuries suffered by the child were absolutely inconsistent with a fall. The examination revealed that Ambar had suffered from pneumoperitoneum and lesions suggestive of anal penetration.

Texas mom who left her kids in hot car to 'teach them a lesson' gets 20 years in prison

A Parker County jury found Cynthia Marie Randolph, 25, guilty on two counts of reckless injury to a child in the deaths of her two-year-old daughter Juliet Ramirez and one-year-old son Cavanaugh Ramirez. The jury sentenced her to 20 years on each count. Jeff Swain, Parker County assistant district attorney, told reporters the sentences will run concurrently.

Breitbart Texas reported that on May 26, 2017, Randolph told police that her toddlers, Juliet and Cavanaugh, vanished, locking themselves in the sweltering SUV parked in Randolph's driveway near Lake Weatherford, located around an hour west of Fort Worth. She claimed she later "found them unresponsive in the car" on a day when the temperature soared to 96 degrees.

Apparently, Randolph fabricated an elaborate story describing a frantic half-hour long search before finding the young children locked inside the car, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. She said she shattered a window to get to her daughter and son, then dialed 9-1-1. Parker County investigators said that when asked how long the children were inside the hot car, Randolph stated, "No more than an hour." Medics pronounced the children dead at the scene around 4 p.m. that day.

A Russian SU-27 fighter performs during an exhibition flight in July 2017 at the annual air show MAKS 2017 in Zhukovsky, near Moscow. An SU-27 recently flew close to a U.S. Navy jet, a move that was called "unprofessional" by two defense officials who spoke with CNN.
A Russian SU-27 jet flew close - reportedly within 20 feet - to a U.S. Navy plane over the Baltic Sea on Tuesday. While the maneuver was deemed safe, it was criticized as "unprofessional" by two defense officials who spoke with CNN.

What's the background?

The Russian SU-27 is a one-man fighter plane. It was developed by the Soviet Union as a counter to the American F-15. The Navy plane involved was a Boeing P-8 Poseidon surveillance plane. The P-8 is the military version of Boeing's 737 airliner.

Boy Scouts get new, 'politically correct' name after accepting girls into ranks

boy scouts bsa
Since we are no longer allowed to celebrate the differences between males and females, the Boy Scouts are set to admit girls into their organization, and with the new moronic confusion between "equality" and "sameness" comes a brand new politically correct name: Scouts BSA.

The Boy Scouts of America announced the new name on Wednesday, adding that the change will take effect in February.

"Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh said many possibilities were considered during lengthy and 'incredibly fun' deliberations before the new name was chosen," reports The New York Post, adding, "Surbaugh predicted that both boys and girls in Scouts BSA would refer to themselves simply as scouts, rather than adding 'boy' or 'girl' as a modifier."

At least six officers have been injured after a sudden explosion rocked a house in Connecticut, where police and SWAT officers were negotiating with a man who had taken his wife and family hostage.

Up to six police officers were reportedly injured in an explosion in North Haven, Connecticut, where a man took his family hostage after police responded to a domestic dispute call. The officers were rushed to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries at around 8:30pm.

"This started late this afternoon with what was apparently a very violent domestic call," North Haven First Selectman Michael Freda told Fox 61. The officers "were trying to coax him...out of the house and really try to calm the situation down. Then things took a turn for the worse with an explosion."

East Ghouta: Syrian army discovers Al Jazeera news HQ and seizes large amount of Israeli-made weapons and medicines

Al Jazeera News HQ Found Inside Al Qaeda Camp
As soldiers involved in clean-up operations made their way through the wreckage and ruins of the various Al Qaeda and other Daesh related strongholds, they stumbled into an 'expected surprise'.

Laptops, radios, camera, video-equipment and digital reels (hard-discs) were uncovered, showing that Qatar - a long time backer of some of the Daesh groups - had its official media outlet, Al Jazeera, actually embedded with terrorist groups.

Previously, journalists and experts were curious as to how Al Jazeera was consistently getting the scoop, and found themselves with first hand, original videos made by and produced by Daesh groups backed by Qatar. Al Jazeera had maintained that a clear fire-wall existed between them: 'anti-Assad activists' would somehow email or upload these surprisingly well produced video clips right to Al Jazeera, where we imagined that the Al Thani Dynasty owned and Qatari based news outlet, which replaced BBC in recent years as the region's English language Atlanticist news outlet, simply had better contacts on the ground.

Comment: The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) seized a large quantity of weapons from the jihadist rebels, Wednesday, after the latter's transport was caught traveling to the northern countryside of Homs.
According to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), the Syrian military seized several mortar shells, ATGMs, assault rifles, and ammunition from the jihadist rebels.

The SANA report would later claim that much of the weapons were reportedly manufactured in Israel - please see below:

The Syrian government has struck an agreement with the rebel armed groups in the Homs and Hama provinces. The deal involves providing a safe passage to the militants in exchange for handing over the territory to the Syrian forces.

Under the terms of the deal, those militants who refused to cease fighting would be transferred to the north-western Syrian province of Idlib, alongside their families. The transfer would take place within two days after the conclusion of the agreement, the Syrian SANA news agency reports.

The militants have to hand over their heavy and medium weapons, the report adds. The rebels also pledged to pass their maps of tunnels and mine fields, as well as ammunition depots, to the Syrian forces.
