Denmark should address discrimination of Muslims and avoid evictions of families with a migration background in the neighbourhoods referred to as “parallel society” In a report published today, the Council of Europe Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) calls on the Danish authorities, as a matter of priority, to introduce a national action plan against racism, with a particular emphasis on preventing anti-Muslim racism and discrimination. The action plan should include actions in the areas of education, public awareness, promotion of counter speech and the training of relevant professionals, such as law enforcement officials and teachers. Securing staff with Muslim and other minority backgrounds in such professions should also be among the elements of this action plan. The second recommendation for which ECRI requests priority implementation is that the Danish authorities should avoid forced evictions of families with a migration background in the neighbourhoods referred to as “parallel society”. While ECRI understands that the objective of such evictions is to achieve a more balanced composition between “non-westerners”, EU citizens and “native Danes” in those areas, the authorities should instead introduce positive incentives for all po[CENSORED]tion groups concerned in order to diversify the inhabitants in these areas. Beyond the forced evictions, ECRI is concerned by the broader implications of the official “parallel society” policy, until recently referred to as “ghetto” policy, and related legislation. It classifies migrants into “westerners” and “non-westerners”, which risks causing stigmatisation of the latter in many policy areas. In the report, ECRI welcomes several positive developments, such as the drawing-up of a national action plan against antisemitism (published in January 2022) and further action on LGBTI equality at legislative level. Other positive steps include free Danish language lessons and classes on labour market and social conditions for all immigrants. However, despite the progress achieved, there are some areas of concern. As regards hate speech, ECRI regrets to note that Muslims in Denmark, including guest workers and persons who have been granted asylum, are increasingly depicted, including by politicians of different political parties, as a threat to Danish values and culture. In the worst manifestation of this trend, one political party has made it its main political platform to advocate the “cleansing” of Muslims and to threaten, scorn and insult Muslims and Black people in their own neighbourhoods, with almost no counter speech following from other politicians, and often under police protection provided in the name of freedom of expression. ECRI recommends that the authorities should develop a legal framework for cutting the funding of, and disbanding, racist organisations, including political parties. https://www.coe.int/en/web/european-commission-against-racism-and-intolerance/-/denmark-should-address-discrimination-of-muslims-and-avoid-evictions-of-families-with-a-migration-background-in-the-neighbourhoods-referred-to-as-para

The PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man has removed One World Trade Centre from the game's start screen. Earlier today, Reddit detectives noted that the PC trailer for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered (which debuted last week at the PlayStation State of Play showcase), appeared to have a slight change from its console counterpart. Firstly, take a look at the start screen for the original PS4 version of Marvel's Spider-Man, just below, where you can clearly see One World Trade Centre on the horizon. Next, have a look at the Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered trailer for the PC version of the game. You'll notice that near the end of the trailer, where the release date for the PC version of Insomniac's game flashes up, the One World Trade Centre tower is now entirely absent from the horizon, and there's nothing taking the spot where the monumental building should be. If you were thinking that One World Trade Centre was in the original 2017 game, you'd actually be mistaken. It turns out the building never actually featured in Marvel's Spider-Man, but only appeared on the game's opening start screen. Once you booted into the actual game, you could never actually find the tower to swing around or scale it. In actual fact, this isn't the first time a New York City building has been taken out of a Spider-Man game. When Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales first launched in late 2020, players were quick to note that the iconic Chrysler Building was entirely absent from the NYC skyline, instead replaced by a decidedly generic skyscraper to stand in its place. Shortly after, an Insomniac developer revealed that this was actually due to copyright issues. Yes, buildings can actually have copyrights, and building owners have actually pursued legal action in the past when it comes to copying a building's design. Well, it turns out Insomniac couldn't get a deal done with the Chrysler Building ownership, and so the tower was omitted from Miles's adventure. Perhaps it's for this same reason that One World Trade Centre has now been taken out of the start screen of Marvel's Spider-Man on PC. We've reached out to PlayStation for clarification on the matter, and will update this article with any new information provided. Check out our upcoming PS5 games guide for a full look over everything coming to PlayStation's new-gen console in the near future. https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/gaming/marvels-spider-man-pc-appears-to-have-cut-another-iconic-new-york-landmark/ar-AAYbxrW?ocid=BingNewsSearch

Today, European legislators agreed to require all smartphones, tablets, and cameras sold in the EU to use a common USB-C charging connector. By autumn 2024, all smartphones (yes, including iPhones) sold in the EU, must use a USB-C port for charging, according to the amended guidelines. With this, people will no longer need to purchase a new charging cable every time they buy a device. In fact, they will soon be able to use cables across multiple devices. Does leaving the laptop plugged in all the time ruin its battery? Smartphone RAM: How much do you really need? 22 technology myths you need to stop believing The new regulation, however, only applies to gadgets that charge through a wired cable, and not to those that charge wirelessly. Consumers will be given detailed information about the charging information of new gadgets, making it easy to determine whether their current chargers are compatible with new ones. An option to buy a device with or without chargers will also be available. But as of writing, it’s still unclear if manufacturers will be required to give both options to the consumers.

Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT) watched its shares climb the charts Tuesday, as the company, a leader in accessible quantum computing, today unveiled QAmplify. QAmplify is a suite of quantum software technologies that expands the processing power of any current quantum computer by as much as 20x. QAmplify is capable of supercharging any quantum computer to solve real-world realistic business problems today. The Company is actively working with customers and partners in scaling the amplification capabilities of its ready-to-run Qatalyst™ software, which is designed to eliminate the need for complex quantum programming and runs seamlessly across a variety of quantum computers. QCI has filed for patents on QAmplify technology. Currently, this morning’s news release said, there are two primary technology approaches that deliver a wide range of capabilities spanning the current Quantum Processing Unit (“QPU”) hardware landscape; gate model (e.g. IBM, IonQ, Rigetti, OQC, etc.) and annealing (e.g. D-Wave) quantum computers. Both are limited in the size of problems (i.e., number of variables and complexity of computations) they can process. For example, gate models can typically process from 10-120 data variables, and annealing machines can process approximately 400 variables in a simple problem set. These small problem sets restrict the size of the problems that can be solved by today’s QPUs, limiting businesses’ ability to explore the value of quantum computing. https://www.baystreet.ca/articles/stockstowatch/78012/Quantum-Gains-on-Software-Breakthrough

With the arrival of the WWDC 2022 kickoff on Monday — the highlight of which is always a keynote address jam-packed with software updates for all of Apple’s hardware product lines, including the just-announced iPadOS 16 — the week-long developers conference finds one of Apple’s signature annual events almost back to normal. Apple moments ago unveiled a new iteration of the OS that powers its iPad line of tablets. The iPad is, of course, a premium piece of hardware that, for all of its strongest qualities, has nevertheless felt a little bit hampered for a while now. Why? Well, mostly for one reason: The software that can make it difficult to perform certain complex tasks. The kinds of tasks that users take for granted on a desktop. Does iPadOS 16 finally close that gap, or at least start to? I think so. But keep refreshing this page as we unpack and work through the details that Apple is sharing right now. iPadOS 16 = making Apple’s tablet more like a MacBook Air “Today,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in the opening moments of the event, “we’re going to push our platforms further than ever.” Heading into WWDC, iPad loyalists were optimistic that this year is the year. That the time is now for Apple’s gorgeous line of tablets to finally make the leap from being basically giant iPhones, in terms of the software experience, to something more closely resembling a computer. Ahead of the iPadOS 16 announcement, word began to circulate that a revamped multitasking interface was, thankfully, on the horizon. According to Bloomberg, the revamped design should “make it easier to see what apps are open” and to switch between active applications. “This year, we have a big release,” Apple senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi said during the iPadOS portion of Monday’s event. A release, he continued, that will take the iPad even further. iPadOS 16 promises new ways to collaborate and to get work done. Plus new features for Pro users that take advantage of the power of the tablet’s desktop-class chip under the hood. Bestowing the iPad with more desktop-like functionality, including the ability to resize windows, will certainly inspire me to pick up and use my tablet even more than I already do. To the point that, increasingly, the line between macOS and iPadOS might legitimately start to feel a little blurry. For iPadOS16, Federighi continued, Apple scoured its entire app ecosystem to add new features that users enjoy on the Mac. And the company is now bringing many of them over to the iPad. Some of the flurry of new iPad features include The ability to find and merge cards and to create lists in Contacts A refresh to Files, including the ability to change file extensions Apple has also added a redesigned “find and replace” experience that works in-line And, among many other new features, for the first time ever? Customizable toolbars in iPadOS https://bgr.com/tech/ipados-16-apples-tablet-gets-closer-than-ever-to-replacing-your-computer/

LONDON – In 2012, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was left dangling on a zip wire when it stopped working during the Summer Olympics in London. It offers an apt analogy for Johnson's current political predicament. He has long been able to defy the laws of political gravity, a clown-king who routinely disguises perceived moral failings and outright falsehoods in soaring Churchill-esque speeches laced with elaborate Latin flourishes. But Monday's no-confidence vote left him twisting in the political wind. Johnson, 57, will, for now, remain as Conservative party leader and prime minister after he survived a no-confidence vote in his premiership late Monday. But the move to oust him by rebel lawmakers – who were furious that Johnson and his staff drank and got merry in his Downing Street offices while the rest of the country toiled under strict COVID-19 lockdowns – has left him looking politically bruised and exposed. The numbers are stark: Some 40% of the 359 Conservative lawmakers who cast their secret ballots in Monday's vote believe the country would be better off without Johnson in charge. Boris Johnson bruised but still standing after no-confidence vote That's a far higher dissenting percentage than in previous confidence votes won by former prime ministers Sir John Major in 1995 and Theresa May in 2018. Major was crushed in a landslide general election by the Tony Blair-led Labour party two years later. May announced her resignation within six months after repeatedly failing to get her plan for the U.K to leave the European Union – Brexit – through a skeptical Parliament. For Johnson, the mood on the street is even worse. In a snap poll released ahead of the vote by YouGov, an online research firm, 60% of the British public surveyed said that Johnson's government lacks the right policies and ideas to deal with the number one issue currently occupying the minds of voters: a cost-of-living crisis exasperated by several years of the coronavirus pandemic and now Russia's war against Ukraine, which has stifled access to some exports. Will Brexit and promises of economic growth be enough to save him? When Johnson swept to power in 2019 with a mandate to "get Brexit done" his victory represented the biggest parliamentary majority in the House of Commons since Margaret Thatcher's election victory in 1987. Now, half of those same Conservative voters who enthused about Johnson in 2019 approved of the decision to hold the no-confidence vote seeking his ouster, according to the YouGov survey. "The problem for the prime minister is while he seems determined to stay and recover his position, it is hard to see how he does that," said Catherine Haddon, a historian and politics fellow at the Institute for Government, a think tank in London. "His party appears split over his leadership, there are many frustrations with the direction of policy and the leadership vote, and its aftermath, only seems to be increasing the bloodletting." Johnson said he wants to "move on" after the vote which saw four out of 10 of his own ruling Conservative lawmakers call for his ousting. He's hoping that his record of pushing Brexit through Parliament, his success in rolling out Britain's COVID-19 vaccine program and his pledge to spur economic growth through aggressive tax cuts will be enough for him to "draw a line" under Monday night's poor result. "The only way for Johnson to survive now is to launch a Policy Blitzkrieg. Slash tax. Launch All Out War on cost of living. Reform institutions. Give voters & MPs what they thought they were getting 3 yrs ago & what Operation Red Meat promised 6 months ago. Last chance saloon," Matthew Goodwin, a politics professor at the University of Kent, in England, tweeted Monday. "Operation Red Meat" refers to a series of measures broadly po[CENSORED]r with supporters of Brexit, such as stepping up coast guard patrols in the English Channel to prevent asylum seekers from crossing over from France. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/boris-johnsons-brand-of-colorful-politics-frays-at-the-edges-but-is-he-out/ar-AAYbyDE?ocid=BingNewsSearch#image=AAY84bE|29

https://www.msn.com/en-sg/news/world/last-animals-rescued-today-from-squalor-of-phuket-zoo/ar-AAYaxX0?ocid=BingNewsSearch After Rambo, Pong, Paeng, and Ginny – three tigers and one Asian black bear – leave for their new home today, the long, sorry tale of the Phuket Zoo will finally be over. They were the final animals removed by the Wildlife Friends Foundation from the notoriously dire facility that finally shuttered during the pandemic. “There were three tigers left who were all on their own, and one black bear, and now finally there are no more animals left in the zoo,” foundation founder Edwin Wiek told Coconuts today. The nonprofit organization currently houses all the animals it’s taken from the zoo since late April in Phetchaburi province. According to Wiek, the foundation still plans to rescue some monkeys and gibbons housed elsewhere by caretakers on the island. “There are still monkeys and gibbons living elsewhere, but we have the license to come and pick them up to raise them,” he added. The rescued furry friends will live better lives at the foundation, which is appealing for donations to build at least one more tiger enclosure. “We need to build one more backup enclosure,” Wiek said. “We’ll do fundraising in the next few months where hopefully we will raise enough money by then.” https://www.facebook.com/watch/WildlifeFriendsFoundation/

WASHINGTON — Defense News’ naval warfare reporter has been selected to receive a prestigious defense journalism award for her coverage of everything from U.S. shipyard modernization to the Ukrainian navy’s effort to rebuild and prepare for its war against Russia. Megan Eckstein will be awarded the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation’s Journalism Prize for Distinguished Reporting on National Defense, the foundation announced Tuesday. “I’m deeply honored that the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation has recognized my work in this way,” Eckstein said. “Defense News has afforded me a string of excellent reporting opportunities over the past year, and I’ve worked hard to make the most of them and bring back the best stories and context for my readers. I look forward to continuing to explain the Navy and Marine Corps’ story to the public.” In Tuesday’s release announcing the award, the Ford Foundation praised Eckstein for her “insightful reporting [that] reveals a keen analytic sense for the early identification of soon-to-emerge issues. “Eckstein’s extensive sourcing and research, sharpened by her desire to be on the scene, is a sterling example of reportorial values and excellence that the Gerald R. Ford Foundation seeks to recognize and reward,” the foundation said. For one of Eckstein’s stories, “Tension on the Black Sea: What great power competition looks like from the deckplates,” she traveled to the U.S. Navy destroyer Ross in the Black Sea in July 2021 to observe live-fire drills carried out with their Ukrainian counterparts. Her gripping report describes the tense scene with four Russian warships lurking nearby, and the confrontation that ensued when one Russian ship contacted the Ross and demanded it leave. She followed it up with a visit to Odesa, Ukraine, for a deeply detailed report on how Ukraine sought to rebuild its navy after Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, in which it also seized 75% of Ukraine’s fleet. And last November, Eckstein visited the 222-year-old Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine and wrote about the innovative practices it adopted that are paving the way for the Navy to modernize how it repairs ships. “Megan takes readers with her when she travels,” Defense News editor Marjorie Censer wrote in her letter nominating Eckstein for the award. “In 2021, she went to Ukraine, Maine and Florida, among other trips, and used her visits to illuminate and illustrate her pieces. She doesn’t get bogged down in defense policy and acquisition; she uses the people, sights and sounds of an experience to better tell the story.” Matt Viser, the White House reporter for the Washington Post, also was honored by the Ford Foundation for distinguished reporting on the presidency. Defense News previously won the foundation’s national defense award in 1989 and 1998. Andrew deGrandpre, a former senior editor for sister publication Military Times who is now at the Washington Post, received the prize in 2015. DeGrandpre’s investigative series “Task Force Violent: The unforgiven” exposed how elite Marines were wrongfully accused of war crimes in Afghanistan and cleared their names. Eckstein is a University of Maryland graduate who has covered military news since 2009. She began writing for Defense News in May 2021, and was previously deputy editor for USNI News. In 2022, she was part of a select group of defense reporters chosen to participate in the Defense Journalism Seminar Series put on by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. https://www.yahoo.com/now/defense-news-naval-reporter-wins-151954811.html

The Samsung Galaxy S III was released in May 2012 – ten years ago. The S-series has evolved significantly over the past decade and we wanted to try and quantify that evolution. Since there is a lot to cover, we thought we should keep it simple and focus on the camera today. The third generation S-phone arrived with a single 8MP camera on its back and one 1.9MP selfie camera on the front. This was before the days of multi-camera setups, OIS and so on. In fact, OIS wouldn’t appear until 2015 and the Galaxy S6. Then in 2018 the Galaxy S9+ brought the first telephoto lens to the series, the Galaxy S10 5G from the following year added an ultra wide camera. A quick note – the Galaxy S10+ also had an ultrawide camera, but we’re only looking at the best model of each generation. And in 2019 that was the S10 5G, which added 3D ToF sensors on the front and the back. That didn’t last long and Samsung eventually went back to the computational approach to measuring the distance to objects. Another short-lived feature was the dual aperture – the Galaxy S8+ and S9+ could switch between f/2.0 for day shots to f/1.5 at night. These two are responsible for another short-lived trend, the iris scanner on the front. This was used for biometric authentication, but was dropped in the S10 generation as under-display fingerprint readers became available. The following year the first Galaxy S phone with a periscope arrived (the likes of the Galaxy S4 zoom don’t count – that wasn’t a periscope style lens and, if we’re being honest, that was more camera than phone). The Galaxy S20 Ultra had a periscope with 103mm focal length or 4x optical magnification. That was double what the previous tele lenses offered, but it created too wide a gap for the main sensor to fill with digital zoom. So with the Galaxy S21 Ultra forward, Samsung used both a standard telephoto lens (now at 3x) and a periscope. There is a lot of data to cover, even for just the camera, so we put everything in a table to summarize the evolution of the Galaxy S series over the last ten years and we have included some charts to visualize the progress. https://www.gsmarena.com/flashback_a_decade_of_samsung_galaxy_s_camera_tech-news-54544.php

If you've been having online difficulties with your Nintendo Switch earlier today, it's not just you. Nintendo's network services have been experiencing some problems - supposedly preventing users from not only accessing the Switch eShop but also launching applications and certain digital games from the home menu. Nintendo appears to have resolved this problem after a number of hours - issuing the following notices over time on its customer support Twitter account: Currently, a network failure is occurring due to the use of download software on Nintendo Switch. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please wait for a while until the restoration. Currently, Nintendo Switch is carrying out emergency maintenance of the Nintendo eShop. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please wait for a while until the maintenance is completed. The troubles related to the use of download software, etc. that occurred around 05:30 on June 5 have been recovered. We apologize for the inconvenience. Nintendo dataminer OatmealDome goes into a bit more detail about what exactly was going on behind the scenes: [Nintendo eShop] It appears that Nintendo’s “e-license” (DRM) servers are having problems today. This problem appears to have been ongoing for a few hours now.

Alienware has become a near household name, being one of the first companies to get into the gaming hardware space, specifically with gaming laptops that were some of the first on the market. Of course, there’s been a lot of competition since then, but the brand still has some interesting offerings, especially with gaming desktops, which look otherworldly and are great for those who want something a little different. Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen Edition — $1,300, was $1,800 With an RTX 2080 Super, the Alienware R10 is no slouch; having one of the top GPUs out there, it should comfortably be able to handle any 2K 144Hz screen that you can grab from our gaming monitor deals, even with reasonably high settings, although maybe not on the latest AAA games. Paired with that is the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, a reasonably beefy CPU that should handle the majority of games, as well as any productivity software and maybe even some editing apps as well. It also comes with 16GB of RAM and a slightly smaller 512GB SSD, both of which should be fine for most uses, although you might need to increase your storage down the line. Alienware Aurora R12 — $1,400, was $2,130 If you’re looking for something with an equivalent card to the R10 but with a better CPU, the R12 will get the job done. With an RTX 3060, it’s about at the same level as the RTX 2080 Super, and should also be pretty good at handling most games at even slightly higher settings. The CPU is an 11th-gen intel i7-11700F, great if you need something for more CPU-intensive needs, such as audio production or simulation and management games that tend to eat up CPU resources. As for the other internals, you get 16GB of RAM, which is what we’d expect for a higher-end gaming build, and a 1TB SSD, something we also expect to see on a gaming build, especially with a lot of games being nearly 100GB each these days. Overall, the better CPU and larger storage space are definitely worth the extra $100. Alternatively, you can check out some of our other gaming PC deals if these don’t tickle your fancy. https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/shopping/alienware-r10-and-r12-gaming-pcs-have-massive-discounts-today/ar-AAY5RQ0?ocid=BingNewsSearch

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said on Sunday that his own party needs to start recognizing the economic challenges families are currently facing ahead of the November’s midterm elections. During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” moderator George Stephanopoulos asked Buttigieg about his advice for Democrats heading to the midterm election. Buttigieg replied that his party should focus on the struggles families are facing in today’s economy. “You’re a veteran of the presidential campaign trail. What’s your advice to Democrats who are facing the voters this year in the face of those high prices?” Stephanopoulus asked Buttigieg. “The first step is to recognize that this is a real challenge that we’re all facing, that families are feeling that pain and that we’re acting on it,” Buttigieg replied. Buttigieg said issues Republicans are focused on “doesn’t really speak much to inflation” slamming proposals that he said would raise taxes on lower middle class families. “It’s a very clear difference in strategies here against some very challenging economic problems,” he said. President Biden’s handling of the economy has gotten consistently low ratings in recent polls as the country faces record-high inflation and continued supply chain issues that started during the pandemic. Consumer spending, however, continues to sky rocket while the unemployment rate remains low. https://news.yahoo.com/buttigieg-says-democrats-recognize-economic-143151404.html

An animal charity is in danger of permanently closing its doors after helping endangered pets for almost 160 years. Waterford’s Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (WSPCA) is in urgent need of new members to join and to become involved on the voluntary board. William Smith of City Vets, based in Waterford City, said it is vital the charity is saved from closure. “The problem is not around funding but because the work of the charity doesn’t seem to attract new people. “The charity has been in existence for almost 160 years. They've got a good funding stream, they've got great governance structures, they've got great staff, great relationships - a really good organisation. "Basically, the problem is that the people who have been running it for years and years, such as the well known and wonderful Barbara Bent, are just getting older. “All of those currently involved have done their bit, but they don't seem to be able to attract new people. If they can't get new people to take a role, the charity is facing closure." Volunteers Mr Smith explained the charity is appealing to people with a variety of backgrounds and skills to join. "We (as a veterinary practice) work a lot with the WSPCA. They're a fantastic organisation in terms of their governance and it is really well run. "They need people with a variety of skills. They need people with accounting skills, people with PR skills, people with IT skills. So, they need people with some skills who don't need to be even particularly good with animals.” Founded in 1870, Waterford SPCA has been a registered charity since 1921 and is affiliated with the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA). The organisation provides homes for animals taken into their care, mainly as a result of cruelty, neglect, and/or irresponsible breeding. Barbara Bent of Waterford SPCA said: “It would be a huge loss if we had to close. The society has provided 160 years of service is something to be proud of. Due to the age of people on the Board they now have to retire. Unfortunately the public aren’t aware of this. “Waterford SPCA has achieved so much for the city and county. We do everything very carefully and to run a charity everything has to be done very well and we are fully registered with charity regulations governance guidance code.” “It’s not the dog and cat side of things of skilled people we need. We need those involved in administration. "The people who got the charity where it is today are the type of people we need, people who take this type of work seriously and responsible. We get part funding from the Department of Agriculture, so we have to adhere to strict criteria. “The current board has worked so hard for a lot of years. Young blood and new ideas are urgently needed to drive our work forward.” https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/animal-charity-in-danger-of-closing-after-almost-160-years-due-to-lack-of-volunteers-1316244.html

µThe spate of gun violence seems to be taking its toll on parents and children alike. Parents are concerned about the safety of their children in schools and report feeling stressed, scared and angry and many report that their children are feeling the same. Parents on both sides of the gun control debate express concern about their children's safety. Three in four parents of school-aged children are at least somewhat concerned about the possibility of gun violence at their children's school, including one in three who are very concerned. Large majorities of parents report feeling sad, stressed, scared and nervous after seeing or hearing about the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Two in three parents say they are angry. And it's not just the parents who are concerned most parents say their children are also worried. More than half of parents say their school-aged children sometimes worry about gun violence while attending school, including more than a quarter who say they worry about it a lot. Most have talked to their school-aged children about gun violence in the aftermath of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and many children report feeling many of the same emotions their parents feel. Majorities of parents say their children have felt sadness, while half are nervous, scared, angry, or stressed after seeing or hearing about the shooting. Large majorities favor having armed security guards or police in the schools, as well as practicing lockdowns and active shooter drills for students and staff measures that find support across partisan lines. More than half of parents also favor allowing teachers and school officials to carry guns, a measure that finds favor with almost all Republican parents and most independents. Most Democratic parents disagree, though four in 10 would also like to see this happen. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gun-violence-schools-parents-children-opinion-poll-2022-06-05/
