Bonn: Karnevalsparty auf dem Münsterplatz wegen Unwetterwarnung abgesagt

Bonn. 23. Februar 2017. (mediap). Die Karnevalsparty auf dem Münsterplatz wird kurzfristig abgesagt. Wie die Stadtverwaltung mitteilt, ist die Unwetterwarnung des Deutschen Wetterdienstes für Donnerstagnachmittag die Ursache.

 

Der Wetterdienst meldet ab 15 Uhr bis zum Freitagmorgen 6 Uhr ein Unwetter für den Raum Bonn. Im Laufe der Nachmittagsstunden wird stark auflebender Wind aus Südwest, später West erwartet. Dabei muss verbreitet mit schweren Sturmböen (bis 100 km/h, Bft 10) gerechnet werden. Vor allem in Verbindung mit Schauern oder Gewittern sind einzelne orkanartigen Böen (um 110 km/h, Bft 11) möglich.

 

"So leid mir die Absage tut: Die Sicherheit der jugendlichen Besucherinnen und Besucher in dem Zelt können wir vor diesem Hintergrund nicht gewährleisten," so Jugendamtsleiter Udo Stein. Am Zelt selbst werden Mitarbeiter des Sicherheitsdienstes die Besucherinnen und Besucher informieren.

No Federal Mandate

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 22, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ -- In May of 2016, the Obama Administration issued sweeping guidelines directing all states to allow students to use bathrooms, locker rooms, and sleeping quarters on overnight trips, according to their gender identity, rather than their biological sex. Today, the Trump Administration rescinded that policy, giving the power back to the states. 

The administration's decision is detailed in a joint letter from the Departments of Education and Justice, reading in part:

 

"These guidance documents do not, however, contain extensive legal analysis or explain how the position is consistent with the express language of Title IX, nor did they undergo any formal process... In addition, the Departments believe that, in this context, there must be due regard for the primary role of the States and local school districts in establishing educational policy. 

"In these circumstances, the Department of Education and the Department of Justice have decided to withdraw and rescind the above-referenced guidance documents in order to further and more completely consider the legal issues involved. The Departments thus will not rely on the views expressed within them."

Karen England, Privacy For All Spokesperson, shared her view on the latest development, "This is an important first step in providing privacy for all students. What started in California a few years ago, and was shrugged off as a fringe issue, has now become a national dilemma. Now that power has been restored at the state level, it is up to parents, teachers, and concerned citizens to demand privacy for the children of their state."

The bathroom directive issued by the Obama Administration threatened schools with a revocation of Title IX federal funds if they did not force students into sharing the most intimate facilities with the opposite sex. Privacy for All has maintained that policies that limit bathroom and locker room use to in accordance with your biological sex, do not violate Title IX. 

With the Trump Administration rescinding these guidelines, states are now free to assess how this issue directly affects their communities and schools, and find a solution moving forward. Privacy for All maintains that addressing this issue, in any community, should never include mixing the biological sexes in intimate facilities. 

We applaud the Trump Administration for the recognition of the unlawful set of guidelines, and their swift action to correct this matter.

Sanctuary for Children and Families Threatened by the Indian Child Welfare Act

HILLSBORO, N.D., Feb. 22, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Christian Alliance for Indian Child Welfare declares itself a 'Sanctuary for Children and Families' adversely affected by the Indian Child Welfare Act.

American children are frequently removed from homes they love and placed with strangers; sometimes with strangers considered dangerous by social service standards. Some children have never been near a reservation or involved in tribal customs, or are multi-racial children with very little tribal heritage. The ICWA is harming kids all across the U.S. as courts and tribal officials place tribal sovereignty above the lives of children. 

Too many children are sexually abused, seriously injured or murdered after placement in homes under the Indian Child Welfare Act, according to reports from the Department of Justice, White House, National Indian Child Welfare Association, and numerous tribal entities.
  
Suicide rates are extremely high among reservation youth, per federal reports, but the connection to abuse is ignored.
 
Equal opportunities for protection and stability isn't guaranteed ICWA children. 
 
Many children express a desire to stay with their chosen families but are ignored by tribal, state and/or federal officials.

Birth parents object to tribal jurisdiction over, or involvement in, their families, but are ignored by tribal, state and/or federal officials.

Tribal officials remove children because the family is not Indian, is "white" or is not "culturally competent."

Tribal officials practice nepotism in the placement of children, despite clear evidence of harm to children.

Families feel threatened by tribal governments. 

Children subjected to unsafe conditions during tribal custody are extremely difficult to return to safe homes.

Federal authorities have disregarded state and federal law concerning child safety and health. 

CAICW has a wealth of case details, reports, and legal decisions which substantiate these statements. For more information, please visit www.caicw.org. 

CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE FOR INDIAN CHILD WELFARE believes that all tribal members have a right to choose their own path. Neither the tribal government nor the federal government has the right to tell tribal members where to live, how to raise their children, or what religion or traditions they must follow. Founded by tribal member Roland J. Morris and his wife in 2004, CAICW is a ministry, judicial & educational advocacy, prayer resource for families - and shoulder to cry on.
