"Bangladesh Erupts in Violent Protests Over Job Quotas"

Violent clashes erupted at universities across Bangladesh as students protested the reinstatement of a controversial quota system in government jobs, which they believe limits their opportunities. The protests turned violent, with members of the Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student wing of the ruling Awami League party, attacking demonstrators. The quota system, which reserves 30% of government jobs for descendants of freedom fighters, was abolished in 2018 but recently reinstated by a High Court decision, sparking widespread anger and violent confrontations.

Denver Schools React to Recent Shooting with Policy Changes and Student Protests

The Colorado high school student who shot and injured two school administrators had been on probation for a weapons charge. Austin Lyle, 17, was arrested on a weapons charge in 2021 shortly before he was expelled from Overland High School in Aurora, Colorado. Lyle then began attending Denver East High School and was bound by a “safety plan” which stated that he agreed to be patted down every morning. Safety plans are common in schools and are a “behavioral contract” between the student, the parents, and the school put together after a threat assessment based either on past behavior or present threat.
