And then we will have the executive director and principal of orangeville Charter School, travis and then finally nicole. Morning. Its good to be here. I have the good honor of leading summit Public Schools and we have what i discovered this summer is a shared division for the outcomes that we expect to deliver for our students. I had the good fortune the summer of working with about 3000 educators across the country and i got to spend time in a whole bunch of cities and towns and conversation and dinner discussions with teachers and superintendents and principals and parents and University President s and Business People , and we just talked about our vision for education. In a world that can sometimes feel very divided, i was inspired by how much we actually have in common. What it really came down to is, at the end of the day we all want our children to leave our system equipped to lead a good life and really the elements of a good life are to engage in purposeful work on a daily ba
Before the new school year. And searching for survivors tonight in the rubble in central italy after the devastating earthquake. We start tonight with breaking news here at the live desk. An outbreak of at least eight tornados forced indiana governor mike pence to leave the campaign trai trail. Oh my gosh, starbucks just got blown over. There is people in there. This is what it looks like after the twister completely flattened the starbucks. The company says none of its employees or customers were injured which is amazing when you look at the pictures. The mayor says tornados damaged at least 50 homes and towns and right now tens of thousands of people in indiana dont have power. The state police say no one has been seriously hurt but about a dozen people were injured including a 5 month old baby when he got word and immediately flew home to indiana. Well be home so long it takes to make sure the communities have resources and support they need to put themselves back together after the
Militarizing Law Enforcement act does. And that is to stop that flow. And return control of the process of accusation of acquisition back into the hands of civilian authority. Thats the first thing that we need to do. And the second thing with need to do isening sure a good analysis of the personnel that we have doing the Law Enforcement, because as i said, if you have been to a war zone, the statistics show that many of those who return from the battle suffer from posttraumatic stress and other illnesses that affect the Mental Health of the people. And so, we must take better care of the Mental Health of our Law Enforcement personnel. Be they having or having been deployed or not, being involved in Law Enforcement is very stressful and sometimes that Mental Health can break down and people start making bad decisions. And so we must get a handle on that in this country. And then, once we get a handle on the militarization, there are structural issues that need to be dealt with, loss of
Our statutory authority. Increasingly we are finding ourselves unable to read what we find or unable to open a new device. That is serious. I think encryption is a good thing. I think there are tremendous societal impacts to encryption. Not only lock your cars, but you should encrypt things that are important to you. We have a collision in this country getting closer and closer to a head on, which is our important interest in privacy and our important interest in public safety. The logic of universal encryption is inexorable, that our authority under the fourth amendment, and amendment i think is critical to liberty and the right oversights to obtain information is going to become increasingly irrelevant. As all of our lives become digital, the logic of encryption is all of our lives will be covered by encryption. Terrorists and spies will be in a place that is utterly unavailable to courtordered process. That i think should be very concerning. I think we need to have a conversation ab
Time. Placing an employee on openended paid vacation as reward for bad behavior instead of removing them. Next, hr 571, the Veterans Affairs retaliation prevention act would improve the process for whistleblowers within the department to report waste fraud, and abuse, to correct problems at the lowest level in the agency possible. Perhaps more portly it would expand accountability of supervisors who would seek to retaliate against employees who report wrongdoing. Also, require the v. A. To undertake more training procedures to ensure employees are well aware of their rights and methods to report wrongdoing, and supervisors know there are serious consequences. It is a massive substantial support focus on whistleblower protection. I introduced hr 94. It would give the secretary the ability to remove any employee in a similar process that found that was found in a choice act signed into law last summer. Also our protections to ensure this process is not apply to whistleblowers, an extensi
