Va. school board votes to require students to use bathrooms matching their biological gender
A
sign protesting a recent North Carolina law restricting transgender
bathroom access is seen in the bathroom stalls at the 21C Museum Hotel
in Durham, N.C., on May 3, 2016. A Virginia school board has voted
unanimously in favor of requiring students to use locker rooms and
bathrooms matching their biological gender. The Grayson County School
Board, in the southwestern part of the state, voted 5-0 last Friday to
approve the bathroom ordinance, which is designed to prevent transgender
students from using bathrooms they feel match their gender identities,
if not their biological sex.

Ferguson city attorney to resign, commends leaders' 'grace'
Ferguson's
city attorney has announced plans to step down, just a few weeks after
the St. Louis suburb engulfed in racial unrest since Michael Brown's
2014 death revealed they were replacing her as local prosecutor.
Stephanie Karr, Ferguson's city attorney since 2004 and prosecutor since
2011, announced her resignation Monday in writing, calling the decision
"mine alone" and pledging to stay on the job until her successor is
hired. Karr "has upheld both positions in a professional and respectful
manner," Ferguson City Manager De'Carlon Seewood said in a statement,
which noted the city will begin requesting proposals from Karr's
successor on June 1.

searching for two Indian climbers missing on Mount Everest said Tuesday
there was little hope of finding the pair alive after losing contact

U.S. justices rule against Virginia Republicans in black voters case
By
Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Monday let
stand a lower court ruling that Virginia's Republican-led legislature
unlawfully considered race when drawing U.S. congressional districts by
packing black voters into one in a move opponents said diluted black
electoral clout. The justices ruled 8-0 against a group of current and
former Republican U.S. House members who challenged a June 2015 lower
court ruling that invalidated the district's boundaries after several
voters who lived there filed suit in 2013. Virginia's Democratic
attorney general decided not to appeal the 2015 ruling, but the
Republican lawmakers took up the case.

EgyptAir Flight 804 Didn’t Swerve Before Crash, Says Egyptian Aviation Official
Five
days after the air disaster, questions remain over what happened to the
doomed jet before it disappeared off radar at around 2.45 a.m. local
time Thursday. Egyptian authorities said they believe terrorism is a
more likely explanation than equipment failure, and some aviation
experts have said the erratic flight reported by the Greek defense
minister suggests a bomb blast or a struggle in the cockpit. A 2013
report by the Egyptian ministry of civil aviation records that the same
Airbus 320 made an emergency landing in Cairo that year, shortly after
taking off on its way to Istanbul, when one of the engines “overheated.”
Aviation experts have said that overheating is uncommon yet is highly
unlikely to cause a crash.
