“They are together, they are equal’: the agonizing choice facing father of conjoined twins.” Fiona Kansas  1/31/20 D Class         These towns both have stickers on their faces to tell each other apart since they are conjoined twins at birth. Their names are Ndeye and Marieme, Ndeye has a butterfly sticker and Marieme has a green smiley face. Ndeye loves attention and she’s more outgoing than Marieme. These twins are three-years-old. You can choose to separate the twins but sometimes one will have more limbs then the other. In this case, the parents didn’t separate them.          I’ve personally never seen conjoined twins but they seem actually really cool. Even though they may look different and live life in a different way than me their life seems interesting and the way they do everyday life things. It’s really interesting to learn about these twins because they are different in many ways but also similar in so many other ways. One in 189,000 births you have conjoin
“Kobe Bryant’s helicopter lacked terrain awareness system.” 1-29-20         Kobe and Gigi Bryant ended up passing away in a helicopter crash on there way to a basketball game. In the video, you can see how bad the helicopter was damaged. They went down to Los Angeles Hillside. The helicopter went around in a bunch of circles since there was a lot of fog. Nine people ended up passing away. Kobes’s wife is so devised, she can’t even finish a sentence without crying. Kobes’s family lost two amazing people.         This news is really sad. Many people looked up to him and thought of him as a hero. He was such a caring guy and I could tell by the reports he was an amazing dad and always had a bond with his kids, especially Gigi Bryant. It’s disappointing to hear that they have passed. The others that were on the helicopter their family must be going through a lot of pain just like Kobes family. Kobe was so inspiring to so many people he had so many fans and people that looked u
“Keeping siblings together: This Massachusetts family is adopting three brothers all younger than four” D Class  1-8-20          These two mothers have always wanted kids but as you know they physically can’t since it’s not possible to have kids with the same gender. So they chose to adopt. They ended up adopting three brothers. The brothers have always wanted to have a dance party in their new home. About 2,800 kids are without a home and are in foster care. The parents were kinda iffy about adopting kids and having a bigger family but once they saw these three boys it changed their minds.          I think adopting kids is such a good thing in the long run. Especially it helps the kids out and they have a long term home they can go back to at the end of the day. The boys gave discipline and they know what’s wrong and right now. I think adopting is such an amazing thing to do. It shows people that you actually care for the kids that need homes. If people aren’t able to
“The women hurt by abortion deserve to be heard by the Supreme Court.” 1-2-20 D Class          Janice C. was pregnant at the wrong time. At that time abortion was the only option she had. 33-years later she still doesn’t know the exact reason why she had an abortion, she knew she wanted to have one but she didn’t have an exact reason. When you’re getting an abortion the doctor needs to have a license and needs to be near a hospital at all times. They do this because i is rare for someone to get rushed to the ER and have things done but one woman said she was forced to undergo an emergency hysterectomy. These women deserve to be heard. This topic is hard and complicated to get around but these types of issues can’t be left alone.            I personally think its the woman’s choice of what she wants to do in this situation. Her parents, friends, loved ones, significant others may disagree with the choice she makes. But at the end of the day, it’s her choice on whether sh
“Complaints Allege Mistreatment of LGBTQ Students at Norterra Canyon School.” 12/6/19 D Class  Fiona Kansas  Trimester #3           This school has forbidden talking about and making a club about LGBTQ. A transgender in eighth grade has asked numerous amount of people to call them by their chosen name. At this school, it’s a toxic place to be talking about LGBTQ and also being in it. Many people have been writing complains and saying that the stuff they are doing is cruel. In this school, the people that are apart of LGBTQ should feel safe in a school, but they don’t feel safe in the school one bit. The way that these teachers are making these kids feel is unacceptable.         The LGBTQ community is coming more open and a lot of people are expecting them. I think LGBTQ isn’t a bad thing I personally know some people that are apart of it and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. The fact that grown adults are making fun of kids and saying that it’s wrong and
“House Judiciary Committee Approves Bill To End Federal Marijuana Prohibition.” Fiona Kansas  12/6/19 D Class          A 24-10 vote has ended prohibition on marijuana. This is the first time Congressman has made cannabis legal. This will allow people to get small loans to make a business related to cannabis. It will also allow doctors to give prescribing that is cannabis-related. Aaron Smith said, “Prohibition days are numbered.”NCIA made a policy note that tells people that own a cannabis business certain things they have to do to make everything fair.        I think marijuana isn’t a bad thing, people use it in numerous amount of ways. Some people use it for cancer if you have pain in the body like back pain and such things, headaches, and migraines, and they use it just to reave stress and get better somewhat. There are also many ways to use marijuana like smoke it and even eat it. Marijuana is helping people in different ways. Some people think of marijuana as a
“$832 million worth of drugs seized in massive bust.” Fiona Kansas  12/5/19 D Class  When Australian authorities caught the bust the drugs weighed about 3,200 and had a price tag on it for $820 million. The major seizure had 81-pounds of heroin and it went for $18.5 million dollars. The drugs originally came from Bangkok, Thailand and the drugs were hidden in two stereos. Two men aged 37, and 38 and one woman 37, they could live the rest of their lives in prison. The police officers had a warrant to search their car, so that’s how they found the drugs in the first place. They have court next Tuesday to figure out their charges.  I personally think that’s a lot of drugs in the first place especially if its worth $820 million. People do end up getting past the boarders with drugs which isn’t a very good thing since so many people die because of overdoses. The dogs that search the car for drugs is a very handy thing since humans can’t really smell drugs out of nowhere. Ma
