Dozens protest as Paulo Freire charter school axes half its teachers
Unionized staff from the Paulo Freire Social Justice Charter School and their allies picket in front of the Chicopee school on Wednesday. The union has alleged that the school’s administration is union-busting by refusing to renew the contracts of more than half of the school’s teachers. School leaders, meanwhile, say the move is in the best interests of students. DUSTY CHRISTENSEN

âI would like to see some safety data published to allay any fears. - Your say on 5G masts.
A 5G mast now defended by security cameras. AS protests on 5G masts become more and more common as they are installed, many people have expressed their confusion as to why the debate even exists. More recently, people in Altham took to the streets in a protest against 5G masts in their community. They said they are unsightly and unnecessary as no permission was asked from those living in the area. While others have claimed the 5G masts are damaging to public health, The Lancashire Telegraph asked readers what they think.

Crikey readers were divided on Bernard Keane’s call for Australia to boycott the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, and for good reason: there are high costs to weigh on each side of the argument. Elsewhere, readers didn’t hold back on the issue of Scott Morrison’s particular brand of religiosity, and continued to hew into the government’s bizarre “milkshake consent” video (with suggestions on how to do it better).
Max Jensen writes: No, we shouldn’t boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Our athletes have worked for years to attend these Olympics, and for some, it will be their last chance. Let the politicians, their families, their staff and keepers boycott the Olympics by not watching or attending if that makes them feel righteous.
