Chick-fil-A removed from campus due to anti LGBT views.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Some faculty and students California Polytechnic State University and Trinity University apparently don't want to "eat mor chikin" and are pushing for the removal of Chick-fil-A locations from their respective college campuses regarding the company's alleged "anti-LGBTQ" views. In the last six months, the fast food chain was barred from opening up shop at one New Jersey university and two airports over similar concerns regarding the LGBTQ community.

On May 7, faculty members of Cal Poly's Academic Senate "overwhelmingly" voted to boot Chick-fil-A from the San Luis Obispo school, The Tribune reports.

"[Cal Poly's] values statement includes language that identifies LGBTQ as a classification of individuals that we want to embrace in our diversity and inclusion model," senate vice-chair Thomas Gutierrez said of the initiative. "Then you have an organization that regularly and publicly shows up in the national news in great tension with this...so if you have a mission statement that indicates that you value inclusivity and diversity, then you should be making your business decisions based on that."

In response, university spokesman Matt Lazier said that to oust Chick-fil-A "would be its own form of censorship and intolerance." As per the Tribune, the fast food chain "won't likely close soon."

"While university administration passionately disagrees with the values of some of the organizations the president of Chick-fil-A has chosen to make personal donations to, we do not believe in responding to intolerance with intolerance," Lazier told the Tribune of the faculty vote. "Inclusion means upholding the rights of others to have different perspectives and ensuring there is space in our community for differing viewpoints and ideologies, even those that may be in direct conflict with our own."

Likewise, on May 8, reps for the Student Government Associationat Trinity University voted to kick the chicken-centric chain out of the college's food court, KSAT reports.

Student senator Claire Carlson cited the company's million-dollar donations to anti-LGBTQ organizations and CEO Dan Cathy's previous "problematic" comments on same-sex marriage as fair grounds for the measure.

"Obviously [Chick-fil-A] has the potential to make a lot of people feel uncomfortable on campus, and also it looks really bad for Trinity in the context of recruiting potential students who may be a part of the LGBTQ community," Carlson told school newspaper the Trinitonian of the fast food chain's presence at the school, in a larger sense.

Moving forward, it remains to be determined how officials with the San Antonio college will respond to the student government's campaign, as per KSAT.

Reps for Chick-fil-A did not immediately return Fox News' request on the news regarding the votes that could potentially lead to the closure of the fast food chain's locations at Cal Poly and Trinity University.

In similar headlines, in March, the chicken-centric chain was banned from opening up shop in both San Antonio International Airport and Buffalo Niagara International Airport earlier this year over the company's "legacy" and "rhetoric" of anti-LGBTQ views.

That same month, Think Progress published tax documents revealing that in 2017, the Chick-fil-A Foundation gave over $1.8 million in charitable donations to some organizations that have come under scrutiny regarding their stance on LGBTQ issues.

Over $1.65 million of that contribution was given to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which writes in an online "Statement of Faith" that it believes "marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman," and believes "sexual intimacy" should only be expressed "within [that] context," CBS News reports.

When contacted for comment, reps for Chick-fil-A told Fox News that the San Antonio airport ban was "the first we heard" of the protest and its approval by the city council.

"We would still welcome the opportunity to have a thoughtful dialogue with the city council and plan to reach out to them. It's unfortunate that mischaracterizations of our brand have led to decisions like this," a spokesperson said.

According to New York Upstate, the Texas attorney general has since opened an investigation regarding whether the city of San Antonio "violated Chick-fil-A's religious liberty" in their controversial decision.

At the time, reps for the company did not return Fox News' request for comment on news of the Buffalo airport ban.

Likewise, in November 2018, Rider University made headlines for turning down a student body survey that voted to bring Chick-fil-A to campus as a new fast-food option, citing concerns over the company's attitudes toward the LGBTQ community.

The chain pushed back against the university's characterization, saying the restaurant is merely providing food and doesn't have any agenda.

Woman who ran London Marathon in scrubs is given world record.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A British nurse who was originally denied a world record for running the fastest marathon in a nurse's uniform -- because she wore scrubs instead of a skirt -- will get her title after Guinness World Records officials backpedaled Tuesday.

Jessica Anderson, a nurse at Royal London Hospital, had finished the London Marathon in a time of 3.08:22, half a minute faster than the existing marathon record for a woman in a nurse's uniform.

But she was told by Guinness beforehand her race attire of medical scrubs with trousers didn't meet Guinness's rules for a nurse's uniform: a blue or white dress, apron, and a traditional cap.
NURSE DENIED WORLD RECORD FOR NOT RUNNING LONDON MARATHON IN A SKIRT
Officials on Tuesday reversed their decision, saying the guidelines were "outdated, incorrect and reflected a stereotype we do not in any way wish to perpetuate."

"I want to take this opportunity to reassure everybody concerned that Guinness World Records is absolutely committed to ensuring we uphold the highest standards of equality and inclusiveness," Guinness World Records Senior Vice President Samantha Fay said in a statement. "Therefore, we unreservedly apologize and accept full responsibility for the mishandling of Jessica Anderson's application."

Officials added that they have decided to no longer allow "fancy dress clothing" for the category, and plan on updating guidelines that will "reflect the clothes worn by nurses in the UK and around the world."

Anderson, who ended up raising more than $3,000 for Barts Charity, reacted to the news in an Instagram post, saying she was "delighted" with the decision to review the criteria for the record.

"For me the issue went beyond achieving a world record," Anderson wrote. "I made a conscious decision to wear my uniform for the race, knowing that the record attempt wouldn't be counted."

She added: "While nursing uniforms vary, one thing they have in common is that they are designed for professional women AND men who care for people in all sorts of ways across the world. I would have been doing a disservice to my profession if I had worn a fancy dress costume."

Anderson had initially told Runner's World magazine she was "quite taken aback" when her application was rejected, and that the group's definitions were "so outdated."

Officials from Guinness said the incident has spurred a greater review of world record marathon titles going forward.

"The review of this category is the first review of each one of our 200+ marathon titles we will be conducting as a priority, to ensure we do not allow any costumes which bring a profession or any other subject into disrepute," Fay said. "Any we discover will be either amended to reflect modern standards, or deactivated."

North Carolina teacher arrested on child pornography charge

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Authorities say a North Carolina fifth-grade teacher has been arrested on child pornography charges.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office says in a release that Stefan Winfried Anders was arrested Wednesday after a month-long investigation and charged with 15 felony counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He was given a written promise to appear in court on Thursday.

Last month, investigators said they searched Anders' residence and seized electronic devices and six computers, three of which belonged to the Orange County Schools.

Anders resigned after allegations arose about child pornography photos, which initially led to his suspension. The school system said no students were involved.

Last week, an operation targeting child pornography suspects led to 82 arrests across eight Southeastern states. In North Carolina, six people were arrested.

David Beckham banned from driving for using cell phone

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Former England football star David Beckham has been banned from driving for six months after he was caught using his mobile phone behind the wheel.

A south London court handed Beckham six points on his drivers' license for the offense in the British capital, reported UK media agency Press Association (PA).

With six points already on his license for other speeding offenses, Beckham, 43, now faces a ban.

The former Manchester United and England footballer was driving his Bentley in London's West End on November 21 when a member of the public spotted him using his phone, reports PA.

"Instead of looking straight forward, paying attention to the road, he appeared to be looking at his lap," said prosecutor Matthew Spratt, according to PA.

"He (the witness) says that the defendant was operating a handheld device at knee level. At that moment a photograph was taken."

Beckham's lawyer, Gerrard Tyrrell, said that his client cannot remember the incident.

"There is no excuse for what took place but his view is as he cannot remember... he's going to plead guilty and that's what he's done," said Tyrrell.

Beckham also spent time playing for Spain's Real Madrid and LA Galaxy in the US, before ending his long and storied football career with a short stint at Paris Saint-Germain.

He is currently working to bring the 25th MLS franchise to Miami, Florida.

11 year old boy dies after being impaled by fence

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Police in Fort Worth say no criminal charges will be filed in the death of an 11-year-old boy who was impaled as he climbed over an iron fence surrounding an apartment complex's swimming pool.

Fort Worth police say a group of children climbed the fence to get into a locked swimming pool Monday night. According to police, the children scattered and climbed over the fence when a security guard told them to leave.

Police say one of the children, 11-year-old Jean Pierre Mwenge, lost his footing and was impaled while climbing over the 6-foot (1.8-meter) fence, which had spikes at the top.

Fort Worth Police Officer Bradley Perez tells the Star-Telegram that the death is considered "an extremely unfortunate accident" and no charges are expected.

Denver is the first city to decriminalize magic mushrooms for anybody over the age of 21

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Voters have made Denver the first U.S. city to decriminalize psilocybin, the psychoactive ingredient in "magic mushrooms."

Preliminary results show that the citizen-led initiative narrowly passed Tuesday. It makes the use or possession of psilocybin by people 21 and older the lowest enforcement priority for police and prosecutors.

Psilocybin has been federally outlawed since the 1960s, when it was widely known as a recreational drug. The ban stymied medical research, but small studies in recent years have found the substance had positive effects on anxiety and depression for cancer patients.

Supporters say it's wrong to jail an adult for using a substance they believe helps with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and other conditions.

Denver's mayor and top prosecutor opposed the initiative, but there was no organized campaign against decriminalization.

Iowa veteran, 20, marries girlfriend hours before cancer death

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An Army veteran from Iowa received his final wish to marry the love of his life just hours before he tragically died at the age of 20 from liver cancer.

Tristin Laue first told his parents he wanted to propose to his then-girlfriend Tianna a few weeks ago, and worked up the nerve to ask her on Easter. She said yes, and plans were quickly set in motion as his family realized that the vows would need to be exchanged sooner rather than later because of his deteriorating health. Laue's mother, Debbie, posted a plea on Facebook for help finding a tent to host the reception, decorations and a dress for Tianna.

On April 27, the pair said "I do" in front of family and friends. Photos taken during the ceremony show the groom, who joined the Army in 2016 before being medically discharged in last April, beaming up at his bride from his bed. Laue died just hours after exchanging vows with his bride.

"Make sure you tell people you love them because you never know when you won't be able to," Tianna Laue told KWWL. "He's the love of my life, and even like talking to my mom and everything, she said some people don't get what you two had in the amount of time, like they'll be together for years and still not have the same connection that you guys did."

Colorado students walk out of school shooting vigil after politicians take the mic

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Students in Colorado stormed out of a vigil Wednesday night for the victims of this week's school shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch after two Democratic politicians took the stage and called for gun control, according to local news reports.

The two Democrats who spoke at the vigil were Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, who is running for president, and Rep. Jason Crow, whose congressional district includes STEM.
COLORADO SCHOOL SHOOTING LEAVES AT LEAST 1 DEAD, 8 INJURED
"STEM School students walked out of a vigil tonight after @RepJasonCrow & @SenatorBennet spoke," tweeted Kyle Clark, an anchor with 9NEWS in Denver. "Students said their grief was being politicized. They later returned, took the mic, and some said they didn't want to be used to promote gun control."

About 2,000 people packed a high school gym Wednesday night to remember 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo, who was shot and killed trying to tackle one of the shooters at STEM School Highlands Ranch on Tuesday.

Authorities have credited Castillo and two classmates with stopping the attack. Eight others were injured in the shooting.

According to the Denver Post, some of the students who walked out of the vigil on Wednesday night were chanting "mental health."

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which helped to organize the vigil, later released a statement apologizing to the offended students.

"We are deeply sorry any part of this vigil did not provide the support, caring and sense of community we sought to foster and facilitate and which we know is so crucial to communities who suffer the trauma of gun violence," the group said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
