By: Bonny Chu | Fox News Lawsuit alleges Colorado district assigns overnight rooms by gender identity without parental consent Several Colorado parents are suing their local school district after an overnight school trip allegedly tried to place a transgender-identifying male student in a hotel room — and ultimately the same bed — with an 11-year-old girl.

Jefferson County Public Schools" with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit on behalf of four families. The lawsuit alleges that the district, located near Denver, allows biologically male students to share overnight accommodations with girls based so...

Editorial: Aurora’s blueprint for Colorado’s crime fight

By The Gazette editorial board For two years running — 2022 and 2023 — Colorado bore the dubious distinction of the nation’s highest auto-theft rate. Coloradans stood a better chance of having to walk home from a dinner date or ride-share to work than did motorists even in California or New York. At root of Colorado’s woes was our state’s notoriously soft-on-crime Legislature. In 2021, lawmakers had reduced a range of criminal penalties to misdemeanors, including for stealing vehicles valued under $2,000.

‘The melting pot’ is more of a boiling cauldron

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: The rhetoric surrounding immigrant-linked violence exploits visceral fears, transforming isolated incidents into existential threats to national identity and safety. Media sensationalism and political opportunism amplify divisive narratives, reducing immigration debates to polarized, exclusionary binaries devoid of systemic nuance. Emotional weaponization of personal tragedies cements the public's perception of immigrants as inherent societal threats, driving policy discussions toward punitive extremes. The American discourse on immigration has reached a boiling point, with violent incidents tied to immigrants becoming a rallying cry for sweeping policy changes and cultural introspection. Narratives centering on high-profile crimes, such as a...
