(SRN NEWS) Florida’s attorney general has filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, arguing that the organization is misrepresenting the safety of abortion pills. It is the latest legal challenge aimed at the drugs, which are now the most common way to terminate a pregnancy in this country. Pro-life advocates have increasingly targeted the pills in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision overturning Roe versus Wade. In a complaint filed in a state court in Santa Rosa County, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (UTH-meyer) stated that Planned Parenthood is “making false claims about the safety of abortion drugs.”
( ) Cornell University has agreed to pay 60 million dollars and stop promoting the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion agenda in order to restore federal funding and end investigations into the Ivy League school. The agreement is the latest struck between the Trump administration and elite colleges that the president accuses of tolerating anti-Semitism and promoting transgenderism and the LGBT agenda. Mr. Trump is still locked in a standoff with Harvard, the richest in the Ivy League, and lately has tried an incentive-based approach. The president says schools that push DEI should not be funded by taxpayers.
( ) The election of Zohran Mamdani as New York City’s next mayor isn’t just making waves here in the U.S. It has also sent a chill across Israel as people come to terms with the victory of a politician propelled by an outspoken pro-Palestinian message that is rare in U.S. politics. Israelis across the political spectrum say they fear that Mamdani’s election — in the city with the world’s second-largest Jewish population — could foreshadow icier relations with the U.S. The election result seems to illustrate a softening of support for Israel among the American public –particularly younger, Democratic voters.
( ) Tensions over the Israel-Hamas war have spilled into K-through-12 schools around the U.S., with advocates reporting a rise in anti-Semitism since the 2023 attack on Israel. Some argue that school leaders have failed to take the threat seriously. The Trump administration has not punished public school systems the way it has hit colleges that tolerate anti-Semitism, but schools are still facing pressure to respond more aggressively. Lawmakers in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee have passed measures to increase school accountability for complaints of anti-Jewish expression and California will provide training to public school officials.
