Conservative activists are encouraging parents to resist mask mandates and COVID-19 health orders in school districts across Michigan.
School board meetings have faced crowds of protesters demanding their districts reject emergency epidemic orders issued by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Activists who have called the coronavirus pandemic a “hoax” and questioned the effectiveness of vaccines have also attended the meetings to advance their agenda.
THERE is a consensus among historians that the King and the Archbishop of Glasgow did not initially intend to execute John Ogilvie. But the Jesuit priest - Scotland’s only canonised Catholic martyr - could not help himself during questioning, and on March 10, 1615 he was convicted of high treason at the Tolbooth and hanged on the same day at Glasgow Cross. John Ogilvie (1579-1615) claimed to be from a noble family in the North East and to have been raised as a Protestant. He was educated on the continent, converted to Roman Catholicism and was ordained as Jesuit priest at Paris in 1610.

CHARLIE Austin made a dream second debut on Tuesday night by scoring the opener in QPR’s well-deserved victory at Luton Town.
In true Charlie-Austin fashion he pounced from six yards with 39 minutes on the clock at Kenilworth Road to give Rangers the lead in Bedfordshire.
His night’s work was over just before the hour mark and his replacement, Macauley Bonne, made the result safe in stoppage time by converting Albert Adomah’s low cross.
The victory – which the R’s were well worthy of – secured their fifth victory of the campaign and lifts them five points above the Championship’s relegation zone.
