#337jili NFL Fans Mock CJ Stroud for Making Similar Dan Orlovsky ErrorA mum has lashed out at teachers who made her autistic son wear a comic Christmas tie at school. Year 9 pupil Lenny Walton goes to the Royal Harbour Academy in Ramsgate. On Tuesday, the 13-year-old arrived at school without his tie - contrary to the school’s uniform policy, and was given the comic tie to wear instead. His mum, Natasha Parry, said: “It was the first time he forgot his tie in two years at the school. “I was taking my mum to hospital that morning and couldn’t go back for it. “I told him to apologise to the teachers and explain. Instead two teachers from student services gave him a Christmas tie to wear - laughing as they did so. “They said if he didn’t wear it, he would get a detention.” Ms Parry continued: “When he got home from school that day I could see straight away something was wrong. “At first I couldn’t get it out of him, but then he blurted it out. “Because of the tie he had felt humiliated and he had been bullied all day. He was so upset. He said he never wanted to go back.” So far Lenny has not returned to class. Ms Parry said she had tried phoning the school every day since, to explain the effect the incident had had on her son, but she did not get a reply until 4.10pm today (Friday). By that time, Ms Parry had posted about the incident on Facebook, asking: “Am I overreacting? Or is this genuinely not OK? “I just want to know if this is appropriate behaviour on the school’s part or if I’m being unreasonable to expect more understanding.” Her post quickly garnered more than 300 responses, all condemning the school’s behaviour. Typical comments were: “Adults bullying an already vulnerable child is not ok!” “Causing a child to be the laughing stock of the school is bullying!” “No, I’d be absolutely livid. Surely this is worse than no tie at all!” “Shame on the school!” Another said: “They publicly humiliated him. Autism or not, no child should have to go through this.” “That’s setting him up to be picked on!” “Regardless of any conditions etc this is sickening. To humiliate anyone let alone a child is cruel.” Ms Parry said: “When I got the phone call, it wasn’t an apology. “It was to ask me to take the Facebook post down. “They said they had a good relationship with Lenny but felt the post might spoil that. I don’t know if that was some kind of veiled threat.” Ms Parry described her son as already a nervous child with a lot of social anxiety. The incident had just made matters worse. She is hoping to get Lenny back to school on Monday. The Royal Harbour Academy has been approached for a comment.

Hong Kong film actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, with his actress-wife Carina Lau. Acclaimed Hong Kong film star Tony Leung Chiu Wai has a new feather in his cap. The 62-year-old actor was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology on Nov 23. Both Leung and his wife, actress Carina Lau, posted photos of him dressed in a red robe and a graduation cap at the conferment ceremony on their respective Instagram accounts. Lau, 58, wrote: “Congratulations, Dr Leung.“ The star received the doctorate alongside other honorary doctorate recipients. They included American chipmaker Nvidia co-founder and chief executive Jensen Huang, who was conferred a Doctor of Engineering. Leung was given the title of Doctor of Humanities. Both Leung and Lau uploaded a picture of Mr Huang and Leung shaking hands while seated next to each other. The university said in an article published on news outlet South China Morning Post that Leung is “a role model for the university’s students, encouraging them to dream big and make a positive impact on society”. Leung is known for his roles in Wong Kar-wai movies like Happy Together (1997) and In The Mood For Love (2000). His role in the latter won him Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival. He is also the first Asian actor to receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Film Festival in 2023. A post shared by Carina Lau (@carinalau1208) Leung, who gave a speech in English, said at the ceremony: “I’ve been acting for 42 years and I have become who I am with a bit of method, ambition, discipline, hard work and, of course, a lot of luck to be better each time when the camera rolls.” He also shared his secret to being a good actor, which is to treat himself as a beginner with every new project. “This will keep you fresh, so you won’t have an ego and imagine yourself as an experienced actor, because that will drag you down.” He then encouraged the audience: “Love what you do, have passion. It’s not an easy path, but for me, it’s very rewarding.” Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you. Read 3 articles and stand to win rewards Spin the wheel now

Tulsa fires coach Kevin Wilson a day after blowout loss to South Florida

Rumble Announces Bitcoin Treasury StrategyIndia News | People Wanted to Break 'arrogance' of Raja Warring, Says BadalTrump’s tariffs promise chaos — and Australia’s investments are in the firing lineOriginally published Nov. 21 on IdahoCapitalSun.com . Pete Hegseth, president-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense , has close ties to an Idaho-based Christian nationalist church that aims to turn America into a theocracy. Hegseth is a member of a Tennessee congregation affiliated with Christ Church, a controversial congregation in Moscow, Idaho, that has become a leader in the movement to get more Christianity in the public sphere. In an appearance last year on the Christ Church-connected streaming show “Crosspolitic,” Hegseth talked about how building up fundamentalist Christian education systems is important in what he sees as a “spiritual battle” with the secular world. He sees Christian students as foot soldiers in that war and refers to Christian schools as “boot camp.” “We’re in middle phase one right now, which is effectively a tactical retreat where you regroup, consolidate and reorganize and as you do so, you build your army underground with the opportunity later on of taking offensive operations – and obviously all of this is metaphorical and all that good stuff,” he said on the show. Hegseth did not immediately respond to requests for an interview. HEGSETH HAS SPOKEN POSITIVELY ABOUT CHRIST CHURCH PASTOR DOUG WILSON'S WRITINGS Christ Church is led by Pastor Doug Wilson, who founded the Calvinist group of churches called the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, or CREC. CREC has congregations in nearly all 50 states and several foreign countries. Hegseth’s church is a member of CREC, and Hegseth has spoken positively of Wilson’s writings. Wilson and his allies have a rigid patriarchal belief system and don’t believe in the separation of church and state. They support taking away the right to vote from most women, barring non-Christians from holding office and criminalizing the LGBTQ+ community. Recently, Wilson has increased his influence nationally as he’s built a religious, educational and media empire. His Association of Classical Christian Schools has hundreds of fundamentalist schools around the country, and his publishing outfit Canon Press churns out dozens of titles a year as well as popular streaming shows that highlight unyielding socially conservative ideals. In the recently released podcast, “Extremely American” (created by this reporter), Wilson says one of his goals is to get like-minded people into positions of influence. In an emailed response for this story, he said he’s closer to that post-election and that he supports Hegseth’s nomination, though he downplayed any influence he has on him. “I was grateful for Trump’s win, and believe that it is much more likely that Christians with views similar to mine will receive positions in the new administration,” he said. HEGSETH NOMINATION COULD THREATEN COHESION, DIVERSITY OF U.S. MILITARY, EXPERTS SAY That’s what worries Air Force veteran Mikey Weinstein, who is the president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation . Weinstein says Hegseth, if confirmed as Secretary of Defense, would threaten the cohesion of a religiously and racially diverse U.S. military. “Pete Hegseth is a poster child for literally everything that would be the opposite of what you would want to have for someone who’s controlling the technologically most lethal organization in the history of this country,” he said. Weinstein sees Hegseth’s nomination as an example of the dangers of Project 2025, a 900-page policy paper written by far-right political activists. It lays out a plan to gut the federal government and install Christian nationalist ideals. “Christian nationalism is an absolute fatal cancer metastasizing at light speed (for) the national security of this country,” he said. “It is a Christian version of the Taliban.” Matthew D. Taylor, senior scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies, said Hegseth is “one of the most extreme far right figures ever nominated to a cabinet post, at least in modern memory.” Taylor said he’s broadly concerned about Christian nationalists, who tend to take a dim view of democracy, potentially having a lot of sway in this administration. “I think we should expect a profound degradation of our democratic norms of the rule of law, and I think we are edging closer to a de facto Anglo Protestant establishment, of the kind where Anglo Protestant Christianity as the de facto official religion in the United States,” he said. Hegseth faces some headwinds in his nomination process due to multiple marital sex scandals and the recent revelation that he paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault in exchange for her not speaking about it. He denies he assaulted her but admits he paid her . He’s also gotten criticism for tattoos that are symbols of the Crusades and wrote a book titled “American Crusade,” where he derides Muslims. Before becoming a TV personality, Hegseth led the conservative veterans group Concerned Veterans for America, which advocated for increased privatization of veterans’ health care. He has also said that women should not be allowed to serve in combat roles in the military, and has complained about what he terms “woke” policies in the military.
