Clothes for kids with disabilities get better, but teens see a lack of fashionable options

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:59:42 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Mindy Scheirer was working in fashion before her son, Oliver, was born with muscular dystrophy. As he grew, and she watched him struggle to get dressed, her eyes were opened to her industry’s limitations for people with disabilities.At 8, Oliver wanted to ditch his daily sweatpants for jeans, favored by his peers. His mom couldn’t find any to accommodate his leg braces and difficulty working zippers and buttons, so she began making adaptations herself. She put strips of fabric fastener on the inseams of the jeans, and she replaced the button and zipper on the front with the same. The difference to Oliver was immense.Now, Scheirer dedicates herself to raising awareness about the need for designers and retailers to embrace adaptive clothing through her Runway of Dreams Foundation and Gamut Management talent and consulting agency.Scheirer has brought on board some of the largest U.S. brands and retailers. While adaptive clothes, shoes and other gear have mad...

Palestinian foreign minister says Biden’s inaction as Middle East violence surges is ‘weak’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:59:42 GMT

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The Palestinian foreign minister on Thursday attacked the Biden administration as weak and passive in the Middle East, as violence between Israel and the Palestinians surges to its highest levels in nearly two decades.The comments by Riad Malki reflected the Palestinian frustration with U.S. President Joe Biden, who initially won plaudits from the Palestinians when he rejected the Trump administration’s unabashedly pro-Israel stance. But Biden so far has done little to follow through on that vision“I’m frustrated,” Malki told members of the Foreign Press Association, an organization representing international media outlets in Israel and the Palestinian territories. “It seemed that (Biden) wanted to change all policies Trump has taken, but not when it comes to Palestine.”Pressured by Israel’s far-right government, increasingly isolated in the Arab world and running out of money, the Palestinian Authority is confronting what analysts say could be...

New law requires all Louisiana public schools display 'In God We Trust' motto 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:59:42 GMT

(The Hill) -- A new law in Louisiana went into effect Tuesday requiring public schools in the state to display the nation’s official motto, “In God We Trust,” in each classroom. The law, titled H.B. 8, requires the national motto to be displayed “on a poster or framed document that is at least 11 inches by 14 inches” in each classroom. The law states the motto must be the “central focus” of the poster or framed document and be printed in “large, easily readable font.” Signed by Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards in June, the law goes slightly further than its previous version, passed in 2018, which only required the motto to be in the school buildings, not each classroom. Public schools will not be required to use funds to purchase these displays and can use donated funds or accept donated displays, according to the law. Here are the top education issues to watch going into the new school year The law follows a series of decisions from other Southern states to...
