'A major blow for a father trying to clear his son’s name. The suspension for a seven-year-old boy has been upheld after he chewed his breakfast pastry into a gun.

The story stirred up controversy nationwide, WJZ’s Rick Ritter explains, while his parents demanded the suspension be taken off his record.

“It was blue and it was a rectangular one, a cherry one,” Josh Welch said.

It’s the world’s most controversial pastry — one that ripped through national headlines.

“It wasn’t a big deal to him. He figured it could go bang bang and he was just playing around,” his father, B.J. Welch, said.

In March of 2013, second grader Joshua Welch chewed his breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun and pretended to fire it. Park Elementary School suspended him for two days, leaving his parents outraged.'

'Articles about “rape culture” are proliferating on the internet and in magazines, with the most notable example being the debunked Rolling Stone article “A Rape on Campus.”

But feminist and author Wendy McElroy argues in her new book, “Rape Culture Hysteria: Fixing the Damage Done to Men and Women,” that claims about rape culture are exaggerated and, in fact, hurt both men and women.

According to McElroy, rape culture has become “a very dominant issue—it’s really taking over campuses—largely because of the backing of the office of civil rights of the Department of Education and the ‘Dear Colleague’ letters they send out.”

The Department of Education will say that if colleges don’t want to lose their funding, they have to comply with their demands [about how sexual assault is addressed].” She also says that there is a “rape culture dogma on campuses” that is “starting to spill out into the mainstream.”'

'Leslie Loftis recently asked “Fatherlessness: What are Republican’s Doing About It?” which decried the existence of “Court created Fatherlessness.” Historically, between 33 percent and 50 percent of children whose family experiences divorce lose complete contact with one parent within 3 years. Using the low estimate, U.S. Family Courts create a fatherless child every single minute of every single day.

'St. Catherine University has cut ties with an event organizer, Heartland Inc., after protesters accused both the school and the company’s owners of being insensitive to rape survivors.

On Monday, student demonstrators denounced what they called a “toxic rape culture” at the St. Paul campus, where 97 percent of the undergraduates are women.

About two dozen protesters marched on the main gate with signs saying “Rape culture is here” and “We will not be silenced.” They demanded, among other things, that the school distance itself from Heartland and its founders, Craig and Patricia Neal, whose son is in prison for rape.

'“By almost every measure, the group that is facing some of the most severe challenges in the 21st century in this country are boys and young men of color,” President Obama said in 2014 when he launched My Brother’s Keeper, an initiative to help black and Latino boys. The president went on to note that compared with young white men, young minority males are less likely to graduate from high school, less likely to be gainfully employed and more likely to be poor.

'The country’s biggest advocate for civil liberties on U.S. campuses has filed a lawsuit that could blow up a key plank in the Obama administration’s campaign against college sexual assaults.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is backing a lawsuit by John Doe, an anonymous former University of Virginia (UVA) law student who in January 2016 was found responsible for assaulting a female student during an alcohol-fueled sexual encounter back in 2013. Doe contends that the encounter was perfectly consensual and that his female counterpart showed no signs of being impaired by alcohol, let alone incapacitated.

While Doe was still allowed to receive his law degree, his degree was held up for a year, he has been banned from UVA’s campus for life, and his sexual assault finding is included on his school transcript. Instead of suing UVA, Doe and FIRE are going after the Obama administration, arguing that illegal Department of Education policies are responsible for damaging Doe’s legal career.'

'So one Twitter user has apparently come to regret her series of tweets. ‘Brienne of Swarth,’ who goes by the Twitter handle @femme_esq, tweeted out a couple of very offensive tweets about the child who was dragged into the water by an alligator near the Disney World lagoon. After a fury of backlash, ‘Brienne of Snarth’ appears to have deleted her twitter account. However, HeatStreet documented some of her tweets below. The website characterized the user as a Chicago-based “social justice warrior” with more than 11,000 followers. Her real identity is unknown.'

'The Washington Post on Wednesday reported that it conducted a review of federal campus safety data from over 2,220 colleges in the United States that offer bachelor’s or advanced degrees. The results of the newspaper’s analysis showed that over 1,300 those colleges had zero reported rapes on campus in 2014. After having the controversial “one in five” or “one in four” college women are the victim’s of sexual assault stat drilled into our heads over the last several years, one might think the results of the The Post’s study are welcomed news. Nope, at least not to The Post — in fact, the newspaper dedicates the remainder of the article explaining why its own study must be wrong.

It starts with the article’s headline: “Hundreds of colleges had zero rape reports in 2014. And that could be worrisome.”

'The Taliban are using child sex slaves to mount crippling insider attacks on police in southern Afghanistan, exploiting the pervasive practice of "bacha bazi" -- paedophilic boy play -- to infiltrate security ranks, multiple officials and survivors of such assaults told AFP.

The ancient custom is prevalent across Afghanistan, but nowhere does it seem as entrenched as in the province of Uruzgan, where "bacha bereesh" -- or boys without beards -- widely become objects of lustful attraction for powerful police commanders.
...
Some policemen, they said, demand bachas like a perk of the job, refusing to join outposts where they are not available.

Horrifying abuse at checkpoints makes the boys, many unpaid and unregistered, hungry for revenge and easy prey for Taliban recruitment -- often because there is no other escape from exploitative commanders.'

'Attend the Fatherless Day Rally in Jefferson City this Friday -- tomorrow -- June 17, from noon to 3 PM in the Capitol Rotunda to support House Bill 1550. Governor Nixon has been invited. Major print and television media are expected to attend, as they did last year, so we need to show a good crowd!

Will Missouri Governor Jay Nixon sign the shared parenting bill HB1550?

This is the most important question in the family court reform movement at this exact moment. It is a good bill, with strong protections for shared parenting. The Missouri legislature passed it almost unanimously. We are hoping that he will sign it either on Friday, June 17 -- National Fatherless Day -- or on Monday June 20, in honor of Fathers Day.'

'While passion and volatility can lead to reality TV fame, Kate Chastain is learning that those traits have very different consequences in the real world.

The “Below Deck” star, 33, was arrested for biting and choking her girlfriend in Melbourne Beach, Fla., on Monday, Page Six has confirmed.

Earlier that day, a domestic violence investigation was launched after the reality star’s girlfriend, Ro Hernandez, showed up to work with bruises on her arm. After looking into the matter, police found that Chastain had bit and choked her girlfriend while trying to kick her out of their home, according to TMZ, which first reported the arrest.'

'Biden and his team reached out to colleges across the country to get feedback on how they could change this dangerous culture. The top thing they heard from students, he said, was to get men involved. So, they started the It’s On Us initiative.

“The answer isn’t to shame women for drinking,” he said. “Consent isn’t ‘well I didn’t hear no.’ Sex without consent is rape.”

“Everyone has a responsibility,” he continued, particularly school administrations. “There is no excuse” for an institution of higher learning to put its reputation above students’ respect.

He and his staff are studying the results of hundreds of colleges across the country to determine if they have followed the It’s On Us guidelines.

If not, they can expect to be stripped of some important funding.'
