7 Things: Shooting in Dadeville kills 4, wounds 28; school choice takes beating; and more …

7. Over the weekend, Huntsville Police Officer Albert Morin was released from the hospital after being seriously wounded in an attack on law enforcement that killed fellow Officer Garret Crumby last month.

6. The media and their Democrats continue trying to pressure the Biden administration to ignore multiple government studies that selected Alabama for the HQ of Space Command and keep it in Colorado. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) continues to fight against this tweeting, “Using misleading Democrat talking points, today the @dcexaminer wrote the latest attack on @US_SpaceCom’s move to Huntsville.”

5. There are still two Americas. In one America, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is still fighting to stop children from irreparably changing their gender. While in Washington state, the Legislature is allowing children to change their gender without their parents’ knowledge.

4. The Alabama School Board Association is making it clear that they are not on board either and are now fighting for the status quo in their latest newsletter. The dishonesty is stunning, “Under this Act, parents would receive funds from the state to cover expenses such as elite summer camps, specialized foreign language schools, or extravagant field trips, due to the broad interpretation of educational expenses.”

3. Alabama State Superintendent Eric Mackey is embarrassing himself by whining that calling a failing school a “failing school” is meant to “humiliate” high-poverty schools and push private school scholarships.

2. School choice looking less likely with Alabama Republicans such as State Rep. Danny Garrett (R-Trussville) claiming he supports the idea while tossing up barriers on Alabama Public Television about myths on draining budgets and concerns about people not being able to go to schools in the next county.

1. A “mass shooting” took place in Dadeville at a “Sweet 16” party that left 28 people injured and 4 dead. The lack of information available from law enforcement is astonishing with no information about the number of shooters, names/status of shooter or shooters, if they are still active in the community, have been arrested or the type of gun/guns used.
