Bombing at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan leaves at least 112 people dead and 111 injured. That includes 13 U.S. service members.
Florida is facing its worst COVID outbreak since the beginning of the pandemic thanks to a Governor stuck in a right-wing media fantasyland and the rapid spreading delta variant. The Orlando area has begged residents to conserve water because the oxygen used to clean the water is needed in hospitals.
And more devastating news on the COVID front. According to the go-to forecasting model, the University of Texas COVID-19 Modeling Consortium, the U.S. is expected to see an additional 100,000 deaths unless people start doing basic things like getting vaccinated, wearing masks, and social distancing. That hits extra hard as schools across the country send kids back to classroom with a hodge-podge of safety plans passed by local school boards.

Pennridge school district, under the leadership of Board Vice President Joan Cullen, shoots down their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion curricular initiatives. That’s several years worth of work down the drain. Now the ADL and the PA NAACP are publicly condemning the school board’s move. And after several articles in big market PA news outlets, even the national media is starting to get clued to how far off the rails the Pennridge School Board is. Did I mention that the Board also chose to ignore all medical expert advice and go with a mask-optional policy. Roll the dice.
Once again Kutztown University’s presidential tin man, Kenneth Hawkinson, and his HR advisors show what it looks like to treat people like line-items on a balance sheet. If you caught my special Out d’Coup on Wednesday, you already know that a faculty member who just had a heart transplant is being forced to go back to in-person teaching despite his CDC indicated “high risk” status.
In other KU related news, the university broke new ground on a musical mallet research center.
