Public schools across the country are quickly responding to Wednesday’s events at the U.S. Capitol by offering “emotional support” for students and teaching vocabulary words such as “insurrection” and “sedition.”
Ally Stanton, a kindergarten teacher in Needham, Massachusetts, told 25 News:
I had a lot of students coming in this morning saying things such as Mommy and Daddy were watching a lot of news, bad guys got into the White House, there were bad people that were trying to hurt others in Washington.

County leaders in New York say their health departments have been developing vaccination plans for years, and can help smooth the rocky rollout of the state’s COVID-19 vaccination program, but they need more cooperation from Governor Andrew Cuomo and his administration.
The county executives, in a Tuesday news conference on Zoom, say their health departments are required by state law to have mass vaccination plans, and they have been updating them regularly, with test runs of their systems and investment in staff training. But they say Governor Cuomo and the state health department are not providing data they need, and are leaving them out of key meetings. They say that makes it more difficult to coordinate the distribution of the vaccines in their communities, when the doses arrive.
