The Hanover Borough Police Department has not and will not make such calls, Police Chief Chad Martin said in the release.
Martin said officers will at times use phone calls to encourage wanted people to turn themselves in, but they will never ask for financial payment to make a warrant or citation go away. Persons receiving such phone calls where a caller posing as a police officer uses pressure and/or fear tactics while demanding money to satisfy a criminal investigation, warrant, citations, etc. should immediately hang up and call 911 to report it to their local law enforcement agency, Martin said.

On February 7, the United Educators of San Francisco (UESF) union reached an agreement to allow “limited instruction” when San Francisco County moves to the second highest “red” tier of the pandemic as defined by state government s guidelines, provided that teachers are vaccinated beforehand. If the county moves to the “orange” tier, then full in-person instruction can resume without teachers being vaccinated.
This followed the February 3 San Francisco City lawsuit against the school district over the delay in school re-opening. Mayor London Breed threw her support behind the lawsuit, posturing as a champion for children’s education, and reiterating the scientifically false claims used to promote school reopenings: “Our children are suffering. And there’s no way I would ever support using the legal system to get our schools open if we were on

In a related story, the Chicago Teachers Union, according to its website, again “passed a resolution to join national Black Lives Matter at School Week activities to kick off Black History Month!”
Of course, history cannot be taught without teaching students about the history of racism and the civil rights movement. But that can be done without educators openly advocating Black Lives Matter and incorporating such a controversial group into school curricula.
But that’s exactly what third-party educational website BrainPOP did in releasing a video examining the Black Lives Matter movement, sparking outrage from some parents and board members after one video touted remaking the Minneapolis police department “from the ground up” while urging students to join BLM.
