Missouri University Condemns Removal of 9/11 Commemoration Flags by Student
Missouri | September 13, 2021
A Missouri college is denouncing the removal of flags commemorating victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, but it’s not clear if the student identified as removing the flags will be disciplined.
The Young America’s Foundation placed nearly 3,000 flags in the ground at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri to commemorate the victims of the terror attacks. But video footage from Sept. 11 showed a man carrying trash bags filled with the flags, after removing them from where they’d been placed.

Missouri school district employees sue over allegedly unconstitutional ‘equity’ training
Missouri | August 20, 2021
Two employees of Missouri’s largest school district are alleging that so-called “equity” trainings violated their constitutional rights by forcing them to endorse certain beliefs about race – adding to the already-mounting legal scrutiny of attempts to push critical race theory (CRT) and its associated ideas.
Filed on Wednesday, the lawsuit centers around the purported experiences of Brooke Henderson, a process coordinator focused on advocating for students with disabilities, and records secretary Jennifer Lumley during training sessions last fall. While Lumley was allegedly berated for disagreeing with the content, Henderson claims she had to affirm statements she disagreed with in order to progress in the mandatory training.
Springfield Public Schools (SPS), according to the lawsuit, also threatened to revoke credit for the training if employees didn’t “participate completely.” In doing so, it purportedly set up an “unconstitutional condition of employment” and chilled district employees’ speech….

Judge Orders St. Louis County to Stop Enforcing Mask Mandate
Missouri | August 20, 2021
A judge on Thursday ruled that St. Louis County in Missouri cannot enforce its mask mandate for now.
Circuit Judge Ellen “Nellie” Ribaudo issued a preliminary injunction ordering the county to stop taking action to enforce the mask mandate, while the court considers the full case. She said that her decision was made based on the law.
“This court’s decision is purely one of the relevant laws,” Ribaudo said in her order (pdf). “The court notes that the COVID-19 pandemic has been a political issue since it first emerged in this country and has continued to be a political flash point for many.”
A mask mandate was issued by St. Louis County Executive Sam Page and Health Director Faisal Khan on July 26. The county-wide mandate required masks in indoor public areas, as well as on public transportation, for all those aged 5 and above.
In response, Missouri’s attorney general, Eric Schmitt, filed a lawsuit against the mandate on the same day…. (Excerpts from the Epoch Times)
