Where did you get your figures that only 100,000 in the US identify as transgender? Pew Research Center survey finds that 1.6% of U.S. adults are transgender or nonbinary https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/06/07/about-5-of-young-adults-in-the-u-s-say-their-gender-is-different-from-their-sex-assigned-at-birth/ No MTG has not got a valid point.

Removal of ‘Ruby Bridges’ film from Pinellas school sparks outrage

More craziness from schools.......................... Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton song banned from Wisconsin school class concert MADISON, Wis. -- Administrators at a Wisconsin elementary school stopped a first-grade class from performing a Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton duet promoting LGBTQ acceptance because the song "could be perceived as controversial." Students at Heyer Elementary School in Waukesha had prepared a rendition of "Rainbowland" for their spring concert, but school officials struck the song from the lineup last week. Parents in the district say the decision was made because the song encourages LGBTQ acceptance and references rainbows. https://abc7.com/miley-cyrus-dolly-parton-rainbowland-song-and-rainbow/13034164/ -
The timeline is on the video for all to see. You keep referring to an out of date wiki page (what makes you think I've not read it?). The investigation was completed recently it does say that in the NYP link I gave you. Its not on the wiki page..............yet. In previously unreleased interviews, police who responded to the Robb Elementary shooting told investigators they were cowed by the shooter’s military-style rifle, this drove their decision to wait for a Border Patrol SWAT team to engage him, which took more than an hour. People have blamed cowardice or poor leadership or a lack of sufficient training for why police waited more than an hour to breach the classroom and subdue an amateur 18-year-old adversary. But in their own words, during and after their botched response, the officers pointed to another reason: They were unwilling to confront the rifle on the other side of the door. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/02/09/texas-dps-uvalde-investigation/

Removal of ‘Ruby Bridges’ film from Pinellas school sparks outrage
Bkk Brian replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
The movie is actually banned for all pupils in that school now until its been reviewed by a committee. "He noted that a single complaint can lead to a book or movie being removed pending review, yet the policy sets forth no time frame for considering the challenge and rendering a decision." "The scenes depicted in “Ruby Bridges,” released in 1998, are historically accurate, Davis said, adding that the truth will not change because someone doesn’t like it." -
Mitigation of Climate Change Summary for Policymakers https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGIII_SPM.pdf You can lead a horse to water but......................... There is no table of contents, start from page 31. Hint it does not say this is for policy makers to implement what it does do is give the facts and what can be done in design, access, and technology access and adoption, including information and communication technologies, influence patterns of demand and ways of providing services, such as mobility, shelter, water, sanitation, and nutrition. Note title of paper "for Policymakers" why do you think that is?

I would suggest you read the reports again. They full of actual policy recommendations.

Not according to the latest investigation just published: Uvalde cops admit they were too scared of school shooter’s AR-15 ‘battle rifle’ Cops who failed to rush in during the Uvalde school massacre repeatedly admitted to being too scared of the teen shooter’s AR-15 “battle rifle,” according to a new investigation. https://nypost.com/2023/03/21/uvalde-cops-were-too-scared-of-shooters-battle-rifle-ar-15/

The IPCC reports are compiled by scientists in the main. But don't let that stop your deflection on policy makers receiving their facts from them

"Policys for reducing our carbon output are political, not scientific." The policy makers get their information from the scientists before drawing up polices so that when they are enacted they are fact based.

What to make of Kim Jong Un and North Korea's barrage of weapon tests
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The love letters didn't work, Trump walked away......... North Korea said it had made "realistic proposals" at the summit. The two leaders had been expected to announce progress on denuclearisation. "Sometimes you have to walk and this was one of those times," Mr Trump said. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-47398974 -

"Uvalde: AR-15 Buffalo: AR-15 Boulder: AR-15 Orlando: AR-15 Parkland: AR-15 Las Vegas: AR-15 Sandy Hook: AR-15 San Bernardino: AR-15 Midland/Odessa: AR-15 Colorado Springs: AR-15 Poway synagogue: AR-15 Sutherland Springs: AR-15 Tree of Life Synagogue: AR-15 Nashville: AR-15" Of course the NRA will tell you more guns and security is needed. What happened to that argument at Uvalde where multiple armed police were too scared to confront the shooter.

Did you also know that: "under federal law, an individual who possesses an Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit issued by the State of Tennessee would be permitted to possess a firearm in a school zone located in Tennessee. Additionally, under the Gun-Free School Zones Act, a person without a license issued by the state in which the school zone is located who is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm may possess a firearm in a school zone so long as the firearm is unloaded and either locked in a container or locked in a firearm rack inside a vehicle, similar to the Tennessee State law exception." https://www.uslawshield.com/tennessee-gun-law/
