From ‘irate’ to ‘threatening’ parents: Why a principals’ group wants security at elementary schools

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:57:31 GMT

It’s something Christine Handy, the president of the Montgomery County Association of Administrators and Principals, said is being seen more often at elementary schools.“Increasingly aggressive behavior towards our staff,” Handy said. And that aggressive behavior isn’t from students — it’s “parents and community members.”In testimony before the Montgomery County Board of Education during its June 27 meeting, Handy told board members, “a male parent invaded the personal space of a female principal in a threatening manner and had to be banned from the property.”From that point, Handy said, the principal “had to call her cluster security leader to assist when this parent was picking up his child.”In another instance, Handy shared with the board, a female principal was told by a male parent, “I know that you work late.”Handy noted that full time security assistants staff middle and high schools, but she said, “our 1...

Britain is awash with failed prime ministers. It’s costing taxpayers a fortune

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:57:31 GMT

LONDON — After years of political turmoil, it’s boom time for at least one British industry: Demand for political bodyguards is through the roof.For the first time in modern history, the U.K. now has six living former prime ministers, all of whom continue to receive extensive — and expensive — security protection.With the ruling Conservatives on their fourth leader in as many years, and with the three most recently-departed — Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss — visibly cashing in on the lucrative international speaking circuit for ex-prime ministers, some are raising questions about the mounting cost to U.K. taxpayers.Because every time an ex-prime minister travels abroad — even to earn themselves a six-figure sum for speaking at an obscure business conference — U.K. taxpayers are likely picking up the security tab.“It’s an industry, there is no other word for it,” Dai Davies, a former head of royal protection at the Met Police, said.The number of living ex-prime minist...

Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities are a growing threat to Europe

Behnam Ben Taleblu is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He is the author of “Arsenal: Assessing the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Ballistic Missile Program.”As Europe struggles to combat Iran’s drone proliferation to Russia for use against Ukraine, it can ill afford to ignore improvements to an even greater unmanned aerial threat that may soon land on its doorstep: the country’s ballistic missile arsenal — the largest in the Middle East.While Iran’s much reported potential transfer of short-range ballistic missiles to Russia is yet to materialize, the causal force behind this is likely not Tehran’s fear of transgressing some unwritten agreement that’s being secretly negotiated with Washington. Instead, the Islamic Republic may well be waiting for the termination of U.N. prohibitions on ballistic missile testing and transfers this October, before further arming Moscow with precision-strike systems.In fact, Iran may even want the move to be deemed “licit” to p...
