Prior Lake teacher sues district after suspension for private Facebook post about deporting familiesBrooke Zahn is seeking lost wages for suspension and the time she spent in a required cultural competency class. August 30, 2025 at 7:00PM The Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools administration building, Prior Lake (Aaron Nesheim | Sahan Journal) A Prior Lake teacher has sued her school district in federal court for disciplining her over an immigration-related social media post, alleging that her constitutional rights were violated. Brooke Zahn, who teaches fourth grade at Jeffers Pond Elementary School in the Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools district, says in her lawsuit that she was punished because of her personal use of social media. She had reshared an image in December 2024 advocating the deportation of families with mixed immigration status to their native countries. Zahn had been disciplined in 2021 for anti-masking posts made during the COVID-19 pandemic, an episode that is also part of her lawsuit. “I love my job as a teacher,  » Read More

By Jeff White (jwhite@virginia.edu) VirginiaSports.com CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — With the season opener against Coastal Carolina approaching, University of Virginia tailback Xavier Brown has been reminded countless times about the finest performance of his college career. In Conway, S.C., Brown rushed nine times for 171 yards last year in UVA’s 43-23 win over Coastal at sold-out Brooks Stadium. That made him the first Cavalier since Bryce Perkins in 2019 to run for at least 150 yards in a game, and Brown takes pride in that feat. But he doesn’t want to live in the past. “Last year is last year,” Brown said this week. “This is a new year to prove myself and for us to prove ourselves as a team.” At 6 p.m. Saturday, Virginia kicks off its fourth season under head coach Tony Elliott at Scott Stadium. If Brown surprised the Chanticleers with his tour de force in 2024, that won’t be the case this year. “I’m sure that’s all up on their walls and bulletin boards down there,” UVA offensive coordinator Des Kitchings said Wednesday with a smile.  » Read More

When I logged off following Queensland politics for an extended period of parental leave in January, the LNP had been relentless in their airing of claimed cost blowouts and other issues sheeted home to the former Labor government. Soon after I returned in July, the atmosphere had shifted. A series of events and parliamentary estimates had given Labor plenty to prosecute the government with. Then came the poor polling for the party in power. So it was we ended up this week with a largely manufactured scandal to try and redirect some heat Labor’s way: a years-old private Facebook post from Cairns MP Michael Healy resharing a comedy sketch from an official BBC account. The first parliamentary sitting week since before the June budget has revealed a Crisafulli government trying to find its front foot.Credit: Dan Peled “Some good one-liners,” Healy wrote of the nine-minute video in the post at the time. While much has changed in the years since the then-assistant minister shared the post in 2021,  » Read More

The University of Palermo in Sicily has distanced itself from remarks made by law professor Lucca Nivarra, urging social media users to “unfriend” all Jews on Facebook to protest Israel’s actions in Gaza. In a Facebook post, Nivarra urged users to “unfriend your Jewish ‘friends’ on Facebook, even the ‘good’ ones,” arguing that even Jews who criticise Israel were complicit in “covering up the horror” of what he described as a “Palestinian Holocaust.” “It’s a small, tiny thing,” he wrote, “but let’s start making them feel alone, face to face with the monstrosity to which they are complicit.” Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano quoted the University’s rector Massimo Midiri calling Professor Luca Nivarra’s remarks “culturally dangerous.”  » Read More
