Controversy in one Gloucester County community after a student project on display offends local law enforcement. The students were ordered by School Officials to take down the display. And that order has sparked quite a debate within that community. Fox 29 weekend anchor Bill Anderson is live in newsroom. Bill . Reporter its an interesting situation going on there, dawn. What started i was as a class project on community and Police Relations has turned into a social media fire storm involving sits in, letters from the police union and the good intentions of both students and teachers being questioned. Reporter students at clear view Regional High School were doing a humanities project that also had some discussion on Police Brutality and featured a collage with an image with raised hands and the words hands up dont shoot. When the police union found out about it, they wrote a strongly worded letter calling the display misleading. Offensive and a ridiculous display and asking for it to be removed. Superintendent john horshack had the display taken down which launch add community and social media debate about appropriate lessons versus freedom of speech speech. The students responded by having a sit in to show their support for their teacher and also to question why High School Students dont have the right to discuss controversial topic. I dont feel it needs to be taken down. I think eighths freedom of speech issue. I dont think its fair to be bashing on the police that help our town every single day. As long as administration and the teachers were guiding these children through this its createing a conversation, not necessarily sparking outrage. Reporter students i spoke to off camera made it clear that they were not protesting the police. They were just standing up for freedom of speech but the superintendent issued a statement saying that the images were taken down and now its time for the community to move on. Interestingly enough, superintendent horshack who i was told was unavailable to comment somehow found the time to approach me twice at a local Convenience Store and let me know that my presence was not welcomed near the school. The students manny taken theyre not anti police. They just wanted to have this discussion and dig deeper into it and we do, too. Tell us what you think.

Its all too familiar story in philadelphia Property Owners move away or they pass away and their home falls into disrepair. Bruce gordon spent the day in southwest philadelphia and joins us in studio with a frustrating and familiar tale. Bruce. Absolutely, chris and dawn. 6100 block of washington avenue is literally an award winner. Philadelphia horticultural societys green nest block four years running. But that was 30 years ago. The block has plenty of well maintain homes. Some could frankly sit op a golf course but right there mid block well theres the eye sore, 6135 washington. Vacant for many years and falling apart. Covered with weeds and trash. The city says theres not much they can do unless of course the place was about to literally fall down and so it sits. Ruining the rest of this otherwise nice neighborhood. A lot of times the door is wide open. Front door is open. You never know when somebody can go in there and start a fire or anything can happen. There are Young Children in this neighborhood. This is horrible. Would you want to live on this block . No. If i wasnt living on this block now, i would never moved here. Reporter the city couldnt or wouldnt do anything but it took me just 15 minutes to track down the husband and wife owners of that vacant home. I spoke to the wife by phone. She admitted there was no excuse for the mess out there and promised an immediate cleanup. It is already underway. Chris, dawn. All right good job bruce.

Thats where the surprise gets really fun. Nrg home solar heard their customer patricia had boyfriend who was a huge eagles fan. Barwin showed up to make their day live on good day philadelphia. Eagles on three. One work, three eagles this is not the first time barwin has teamed up with nrg. I go to haiti with them every off season. And now were doing this installation and hopefully it continues to grow in the future. Patricia was in on the surprise the whole time to help pull it off. I didnt expect to see this many media people here, but this is more than what i expect expected. Definitely. As for barwin, chip kelly might be the only person who doesnt want to see him cognition. In cherry hill, chris murphy, fox 29 news. Great to see connor helping out the community. Players like that do these type of things all the time. But while we had um we had to ask him a few eagles questions. The main topic, of course, the release of evan mathis. You have an quarterback a running back with a long history of getting hurt and now you cut your pro bowl guard. Good job chip. Ridiculous. We had to ask connor what his thoughts were on the move. I was surprised of course, but you knew i mean you didnt know. You new something was going to eventually happen. I wish evan the best. He was a great teammate for two years but im very confident in the guys that have been here all summer. Tobin, garner, Dennis Kelly Alan barber those guys had a good off season theyve been here every single day were moving forward. Excited about who we have and obviously evan is moving forward begun luck to him in the future. Now the phillies are still the phillies. They lost six out of their last seven and they had head to pittsburgh this weekend. So theres a great chance theyre going to get swept again. They cant pitch, they cant hit and they cant get any consistency outside Jonathan Papelbon and the guys who are in the slump the worst is mainly chase utley. Hes zero for the last six games games. See row for 19. One for 25 in his last eight. His batting average has plumed to. 185 on the season. Four homers. 24 rbis. Thats not getting it done phillies want to trade all the vets papelbon Hamels Howard and utley but it will be impossible to trade utley especially with 10 million hes making this year. Nba finals its tied up at two piece much the first four games were great but the warriors finally got on track finally got to their groove. Head coach made several changes to the lineup but when the media asked him before the game about potential changes he didnt say anything that was true. Tim asked me if was starting i lied. laughter . No, i did. I lied. I dont think they hand you the trophy for based on morality. They give it to you if you win. So sorry about that. I love it. Every coach lies to the media finally someone admits it and laughs about it i love it. Too funny. Good series going on. Great zeros. I think the warriors are going to win. Do you. Thing they found their stride. All right. We ask for the heat and it has arrived. Scott is back with a look at your full forecast neck. Hi everyone well cup back to the fox 29 news at 6 00. As we talk about this weather i mean its been hot oppressively hot. The high today made it up to 95 degrees. The hottest so far this year. That ties the record high for todays date of 95 set back in 1947. Right now at the Philadelphia International airport its hazy, hot and humid. 93 degrees. You factor in that humidity, it still feels like 95. Thankfully there is a little bit of a breeze winds out of the southwest at about 16 miles per hour. But until 8 00 oclock, the urbanized areas were talking about all of that concrete kind of acting to really fuel some of the heat across the area. Feels like temperatures are still going to be near 100 degrees until about 8 00 oclock so take it easy in Delaware Wilmington bear, into south jersey. Deptford mt. Laurel, trenton looking at feels like temperatures in the 90s. As far as those air temperatures right now its 90 in dover. 90 in wilmington upper 80s right now in trenton. A little rain cooled north and west. But take look at the feels like temperature right now in dover. It feels like 99 degrees. It feels like knife in wilmington and it feels like 90 right now in millville. So out ahead of this cold front temperatures are above average but behind it take a look at the cooler conditions. 60 in chicago. Upper 60s receipt now in desmoines. Its not going to get that cool once front arrives during a part of the week bend but had we will see slightly lower humidity and slightly cooler temperatures. We still are tracking a few popup isolated showers and storms. One really rapidly diminishing right now as it move out of the Conshohocken Norristown area as we take look towards sections of Lehigh Valley and the poconos you can see one exiting exiting sections of Northampton County but off to the we have, far west you can see a nasty line of some showers and thunderstorms a lot of that will weaken before it make it to our area. So as we go hour by hour, once again, maybe isolateed popup storm. Otherwise its going to stay pretty humid overnight for tomorrow a mixture of sun and clouds. Like al few popup showers and storms as well. Tomorrow if we hit 90 or better, that will make it official our first heat wave of 2015. So scattered clouds, muggy overnight upper 60 toss mid 70s across the area. Take it easy. Stay hydrated if youre stepping outdoors. Maybe a backyard barbecue. Either tonight or tomorrow and then 90degree heat as we move ahead to the up coming weekend that seven day forecast is going to show temperatures stay pretty much above average over the next seven days. So summer not officially started but certainly feeling like it. All right. Thats going to do it for us right here at 6 00. Well see you back here tonight at 10 00.
