(  )  President Trump is celebrating another Supreme Court victory.  The justices are allowing his administration to enforce a policy blocking transgender and nonbinary people from choosing passport sex markers that align with their so-called “gender identity”.  The decision is Mr. Trump’s latest win on the high court’s emergency docket and means his administration can enforce the policy while a lawsuit over it plays out.  The ruling halts a lower-court order requiring the government to keep letting people choose male, female or X on their passports.  Mr. Trump argues that the president has the authority to set rules on government documents.

(  )  A federal appeals court in Ohio has ruled against the state’s fourth largest school district in a case that pitted its gender pronoun policy against the rights of students.  The full Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says that the suburban Olentangy (oh-len-TAN-jee) Local School District cannot force students to call their peers by their preferred pronouns and punish them if they refuse.  The group Parents Defending Education had argued that the policy was unconstitutional.  The lawsuit captured broad national attention, with Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Hindu rights organizations lining up against the policy.

(  )  The Anti-Defamation League, which combats anti-Semitism, has launched an initiative to track policies and personnel appointments of incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani.  The ADL says the goal is to “protect Jewish residents across the five boroughs during a period of unprecedented anti-Semitism in New York City.”  Many Jews are concerned about Mamdani, who is a harsh critic of Israel and has voiced support for the global intifada.  A conservative pro-Israel newspaper, The Jewish Voice, depicts the city’s Jewish community bracing for an exodus.  New York has the largest Jewish population of any U.S. city.

(  )  Four Bulgarians have been sentenced to between two and four years in prison for their involvement in defacing the Holocaust Memorial in Paris.  French intelligence services linked the act of vandalism to a destabilization campaign by Russia.  A Paris court handed down two-year sentences to two of the men, who acknowledged their role in the graffiti painting, and four years to another man, accused of recruiting them.  The alleged ringleader, Mircho (MER-cho) Angelov, is still at large and received three years in prison.  Some 500 red hands were painted on a wall honoring those who helped rescue Jews during World War Two.
