Editor's note: This article was originally published on May 25, 2021. It has since been updated. Students across the country have had a tough time navigating online schools. Many believed they would not even have physical graduation ceremonies after four years of hard work. However, some lucky ones have been allowed to have in-person ceremonies, including teacher John Butler's students. Unfortunately, one of his students was informed that he would not be allowed to walk at graduation owing to an elitist policy about appropriate footwear. He approached Butler who confirmed the policy with one of the organizers. Therefore, he did what was, according to him, a "no brainer." He pulled his shoes off and let his student borrow them.

A student was stopped from walking at graduation because of his shoes. So a teacher stepped in.

Typically, teachers leave assignments for students when they can't be in class, but it's rare to see them distribute a questionnaire to gauge how the day is going. One teacher, who goes by @fairyniceofyou on TikTok, shared a video revealing her students' feedback, providing her with some revealing insights. In the video, she remarks, "I'm going to read their responses because they had me laughing." One student's feedback was, "The sub is very snippy and rude and takes her job way too seriously. I miss you." Another commented, "I walked in on time and she said I was late when the second bell never rang yet. I respectfully told her 'no' because it was true and she called me rude. Overall my day is going pretty good."

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
