Cricket-Local man tried to save Symonds after crash – Metro US
MELBOURNE (Reuters) – A man tried to revive former Australia cricketer Andrew Symonds after he crashed his car in Queensland over the weekend, Australian media reported on Monday. Local resident Waylon Townson told the Nine Network that he had heard the crash and was first at the scene. Symonds’ death occurred with Australian cricket still coming to terms with the passing of all-time greats Rod Marsh and Shane Warne, who both died in March. A swashbuckling batsman and brilliant fielder, Symonds played 238 internationals, including 26 tests, for Australia between 1998-2009. “Roy (Symonds) was never perfect, that was for sure, and he never admitted that he was,” former Australia coach John Buchanan told ABC radio on Monday.

School Board Votes Against Censoring “Don’t Say Gay” Yearbook Photos
A Florida school board has overruled a superintendent’s executive decision and sided with students at a local high school, voting not to censor yearbook photos of a student-led protest against the state’s “Parental Rights in Education” law, more commonly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” law. The controversy arose after district officials balked at the inclusion of photos of the student-led protests in the yearbook of Lyman High School, located in the Orlando suburb of Longwood. Students also took to social media to criticize school and district officials, creating a hashtag #stopthestickers to draw attention to their cause. In fact, she argued her decision was consistent with school board policy authorizing prior restraint of school-sponsored publications. She also assured the school board that the smaller stickers could be ordered and added to the yearbooks, which could then be distributed to students in the coming week.

Judge Rules Transgender Student Has Right To Use Boys' Restroom
A federal judge has ordered an Indiana school district to allow a 13-year-old transgender student to use the boys’ restroom at his middle school. U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt, of the Southern District of Indiana, issued a preliminary injunction last week prohibiting the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville from barring the transgender seventh-grader, A.C., from the boys’ restroom at John R. Wooden Middle School. A.C.’s stepfather asked the school to allow the student to use the boys’ restroom, but the school district denied that request, reports Indianapolis-based FOX affiliate WXIN. Defying the school district’s decision, A.C., of his own accord, began using the boys’ restroom and did so for three weeks without incident or complaint from his fellow classmates. The principal then gave A.C. a choice: he could either use the girls’ restroom or the restroom in the clinic, but would be disciplined if he continued using the boys’ restroom.

Bill Allowing Teachers To Ignore Students’ Pronouns Stalls In Tennessee
A bill that would have permitted teachers to misgender their transgender students by refusing to use their correct names or pronouns has stalled in the Tennessee General Assembly. “Obviously, teachers in schools can and should be required to act with professionalism and treat all of their students with dignity and respect. Nothing in this bill changes that obligation,” co-sponsor Rep. Mark Cochran (R-Englewood), said during a House committee hearing last month, reports NBC News. In Loudoun County, the school board decided to settle part of a lawsuit brought by a gym teacher who was suspended after declaring he would refuse to use transgender students’ correct names and pronouns. Cross and two other teachers are continuing to sue the school district on the grounds that the transgender-affirming policies are inherently unconstitutional.

China signals easing of tech squeeze in bid to lift economy – Metro US
The South China Morning Post, which first reported on the upcoming meeting, said that tech giants Alibaba Group Holding, Tencent Holdings and TikTok owner ByteDance were also invited. Authorities are seeking to reassure the corporate executives about the current regulatory environment and encourage them to continue to develop their business, one source told Reuters. China lifted a nine-month freeze on gaming licences earlier this month partly to alleviate the economic fallout from the ban. The Hang Seng Tech index rose 10% for its best day since Vice Premier Liu He promised policy support six weeks ago. Markets had been hit hard over the past two weeks by fears that lockdowns would cause severe damage to China’s economy and derail a global recovery just as many countries are rebounding from pandemic-led slumps.
