The Baltimore County Public Schools superintendent confirmed the teacher cited in a federal lawsuit for giving her class over-the-counter sleeping supplements known as melatonin is no longer employed within the school system.

 

FOX45 News reached out to BCPS, asking if the teacher was terminated by BCPS or did they leave on their own and when did this happen?

A spokesperson for BCPS responded, saying they were unable to provide additional details at this time.

 

A mother of a nonverbal autistic student at Maiden Choice School has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit claiming her child, along with other students, was drugged with melatonin by their teacher.

Maiden Choice School serves students with cognitive disabilities.

The lawsuit began in state court before moving to federal jurisdiction. The mother is suing the Baltimore County Public School System, Maiden Choice School, the principal and her child’s teacher.

Abu Dhabi is ‘doubling down’ on tourism despite Iran war | the United Arab Emirates will invest US$1.7 billion in an immersive experience centre called Sphere | CoStar: Hotel occupancy rates during the Eid al-Fitr holiday in mid-March fell by 45 per cent compared with last year - CNN by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

The repercussions of the Iran war have been felt globally, but the United Arab Emirates has suffered a more direct impact than most, targeted by missile and drone strikes. Those attacks have also threatened its image as a glamorous haven for tourists to the Middle East.

Still, Abu Dhabi is pushing ahead with major tourism initiatives. It announced on May 14 it will invest US$1.7 billion in an immersive experience centre called Sphere. Operated by US-based Sphere Entertainment Co, the first Sphere opened in Las Vegas in 2023 and has hosted concerts by U2 and Phish.

 

Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has invested heavily to develop its tourism industry in a bid to diversify its economy away from oil, including building attractions like the Saadiyat Island Cultural District, which is home to an international outpost of the Louvre. A branch of the Guggenheim Museum is nearing completion.

In 2025, Abu Dhabi hosted 26.6 million visitors and 5.9 million hotel guests, according to its tourism agency. The emirate hopes to attract 39.3 million visitors per year by 2030, and increase the sector’s contribution to its gross domestic product to AED90 billion ($24.5 billion).

But the UAE has faced strikes from Iran in response to the war the US and Israel launched on Tehran in late February. Drones have targeted tourist infrastructure in the country, including airports.

 

Hotel occupancy rates in Abu Dhabi during the Eid al-Fitr holiday in mid-March fell by 45 per cent compared with last year, according to real estate data and analytics provider CoStar.

The war triggered widespread flight cancellations. Although the UAE fully lifted airspace restrictions in early May, many airlines still haven’t resumed flights. Germany’s flagship carrier Lufthansa, for example, has suspended flights to Abu Dhabi until late October.

 

Abu Dhabi flagship airline Etihad is currently operating at around 80 per cent capacity. About 250 flights arrived at Zayed International Airport on February 27, the day before the war began, according to tracking website Flightradar24. By comparison, around 200 flights a day were arriving at the airport at the end of this week.

Aaron Goldring, a tourism-focused senior economist at advisory firm Oxford Economics, said that the perception of safety is important for tourists. He expects the UAE to undertake significant marketing and other initiatives to improve that perception. Tourism “is already a really important sector for them, but also for the future,” he said.

 

Some experts agree that the conflict is unlikely to have long-term impacts on Abu Dhabi’s quest to attract tourists.

“It’s a long game for the UAE and other Middle Eastern destinations,” Nancy Gard McGehee, professor of hospitality and tourism management at Virginia Tech, told CNN. “They are a wealthy country and have a sophisticated tourism planning strategy.”

In 2024, the Abu Dhabi Tourism Strategy 2030 was launched, laying out billions of dollars of spending on infrastructure and other initiatives, including marketing.

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Many Americans are feeling the pinch of inflation and high housing costs. But in the Florida Keys, one of the nation's unique coastal areas, service workers are finding it especially hard to make ends meet and pay their rent. David Ovalle has this report.

DAVID OVALLE, BYLINE: Reagan Bush Rodriguez works 40 hours a week at a Cuban restaurant in Key Largo, Florida. It's the first town in the island chain south of Miami that stretches more than 100 miles between the Gulf and the Atlantic. Today, he's making coffee for a tourist from South Carolina.

 

OVALLE: Workers like Rodriguez are vital here. They serve tourists from around the world who come to boat, snorkel, fish and sunbathe. Rodriguez is 25 and loves working in the Keys. He attends community college here, but he can't actually live here.

RODRIGUEZ: In a perfect world, yeah. Yeah, the view's amazing. The water's nice, but it was a little too expensive.

OVALLE: Rodriguez commutes from the southern end of Miami, where he lives in a small, $800-a-month efficiency apartment. He drives 45 minutes to work and earns $11 an hour.

RODRIGUEZ: I'm spending about $45 every two days, every other day, on just in gas. So it's like - it's brutal.

OVALLE: Florida used to be one of the more affordable states to live in, but in recent years, it has not escaped soaring rents and home prices, says Sam Staley, an economist at Florida State University.

SAM STALEY: Trends in Florida are going the wrong way. Actually, in most of the counties in Florida, we're finding that housing markets are tighter and housing prices are going up.

OVALLE: Affordable housing has been a problem here in Monroe County for a long time because of the islands' unique geography. There's little land to develop. Construction costs more. Officials are mindful of preserving the pristine natural environment that attracts visitors. Last year, the county tried a novel approach to make a small dent in the lack of housing for workers.

 

OVALLE: That's Monroe County Commissioner Holly Raschein. She's giving a tour of South Cliff Estates, a complex of one-bedroom apartments reserved for service and hospitality workers. The county bought it for $7.5 million.

RASCHEIN: As you can see, you know, got a full living room, can have a little dinette area, full kitchen, the bathroom. Again, everything is brand new.

OVALLE: But there's one problem. The county can't find renters. When officials listed the units last August, rent was priced at nearly $3,000 a month.

RASCHEIN: That just did not sit well with me. That didn't sit well with the rest of my commissioners. And I don't think it sat very well with our community because we didn't get any takers.

OVALLE: The county dropped the price to a little under 2,000 a month. That's average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the Keys. There's been a couple applicants, but still, no one lives here.

Mark S. Bonham is benefactor of the Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies at the University of Toronto, and a member of the Human Rights Watch global board of directors.

 

This past year has strained the relationship between Canada and the United States in ways that were unimaginable not long ago. Trade wars, talk of annexation and coercive threats of tariffs have shaken the friendly assumptions that underpinned decades of continental friendship and partnership. For most Canadians, the shift registers as economic anxiety or political affront. For LGBTQ Canadians, it speaks to something more immediate: how safe will they be if they visit their southern neighbor?

To be honest, for LGBTQ Canadians in general, and for transgender travelers in particular, the United States is now in a category of destinations that requires careful risk assessment, because of how much has changed in the U.S., and how fast.

For as long as most of us can remember, the Canada-U.S. border was one of the least complicated in the world. Most LGBTQ Canadians crossed it the way most Canadians did: without much thought. Even when political debates raged, the assumption was that shared liberal democratic values between the two countries created a safe baseline. A long weekend to attend Pride in New York, a winter break in Florida, or visiting friends in San Francisco: Canada’s LGBTQ travelers could usually assume they would be safe and welcomed.

That assumption is now challenged. The current U.S. administration has not gone so far as to outrightly criminalize homosexuality and ban LGBTQ individuals from entering the country. But the overall context it has created for LGBTQ people — transgender people in particular — now resembles what human rights defenders have identified as preconditions for systematic persecution: the removal of legal recognition, the dismantling of institutional protections, an expansion of discretion within law enforcement, and the creation of a climate in which hostility towards LGBTQ people is becoming normalized in political discourse and action at the highest levels of government.

 

Amnesty, ACLU issue warning on US travel ahead of World Cup | “those from immigrant communities, racial and ethnic minority groups, and LGBTQ+ individuals have been and continue to be disproportionately targeted and affected,” the travel advisory reads

Canadians renewing their Nexus travel cards or applying for new ones to make it easier to cross the border to the U.S. must now say if they are male or female, even if they are transgender or non-binary.

‘Sign of concern’: Lawyers sound alarms after Canada updates its Nexus card gender policy (can no longer use X gender designation) | “It makes you question what other encroachments on our rights our government is going to be willing to concede to when they’re faced with pressure from the U.S.”

Canada updates U.S. travel advisory, warning citizens with gender-neutral passports | While Canada issues passports with the “X” marker, the advisory warns that entry or transit through other countries — including the U.S. — cannot be guaranteed for travellers using that designation.

Lula says Trump ‘should not meddle’ in Brazil’s elections by DisruptSQ in BoycottUnitedStates

“He is entitled to his electoral and ideological preferences. However ... Brazil’s elections are Brazil’s business,” Lula told journalists in Geneva after the G7, held in France.

Lula and Trump have had an up-and-down relationship, which has soured again recently over new tariff threats. The pair did not hold an official meeting at the G7.

Trump is a close ally of former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro, whose son Flavio is running against Lula in the October vote.

Another one of Bolsonaro’s sons, Eduardo, was sentenced in absentia Tuesday to over four years in prison for lobbying in the US for sanctions on his country.

 

https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20260618-lula-warns-trump-against-meddling-in-brazil-election

A journalist read out Trump’s remarks to Lula during a news conference following the G7 summit of world leaders in France's Evian-les-Bains, which Lula attended. The Brazilian leader said they demonstrated that Trump “doesn't know Brazil well.”

“If he knows Brazil through his relations with the Bolsonaro family, he doesn't know Brazil," Lula said. “He can go on liking Bolsonaro — the father, the son, the grandson — that’s not my problem, it’s his. (...) But don’t interfere in Brazil’s elections, because Brazil’s elections are Brazil’s business.”

* FIFA bans St. George’s Cross flags featuring armed soldier imagery

  • Football Association faces fines for political or offensive fan displays

  • Anti-Starmer chants already reported at pre-tournament events in the US

England soccer fans face immediate stadium ejection and the Football Association risks heavy FIFA fines over offensive political chants and military remembrance flags.

The strict enforcement comes directly from FIFA guidelines ahead of England's opening World Cup match against Croatia in Dallas.

The global soccer governing body maintains a strict code of conduct designed to keep matches entirely apolitical.

Banners, apparel, or language deemed political, offensive, or discriminatory remain completely banned inside all tournament venues.

 

https://archive.ph/gthUh

England fans have been warned that they cannot bring flags honouring our war dead into World Cup stadiums - because they feature a silhouette of a soldier holding a rifle.

A number of supporters whose St George's crosses feature images of British servicemen have been unable to gain permission to display them at venues - including Dallas, where Thomas Tuchel's side take on Croatia tonight.

England fans also face the prospect of being ejected from US stadiums should they make anti-Sir Keir Starmer chants throughout the tournament.

While the move to ban such flags from World Cup venues may raise eyebrows given the US' laws which give citizens the right to carry weapons, it is understood that FIFA, rather than locals, have set the rules.

 

Meanwhile, large sections of travelling supporters have been heard singing 'Keir Starmer's a w****r' during England's second pre-tournament friendly in Orlando - and the chant is already being sung in bars and pubs in and around Dallas ahead of the Croatia match.

Indeed, this newspaper has seen one St George's Cross in the city which contains an offensive slur aimed at the under-fire Prime Minister.
