BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee school district has issued an apology for a social studies assignment that asked students to pretend to be slave-owners and brainstorm expectations for their slaves.The Tennessean reported Thursday that Williamson County Schools and Sunset Middle School apologized for the assignment, saying it was inappropriate. The homework also assigned other tasks including the creation of a political cartoon depicting immigrant labor in the U.S. and writing a public service announcement about the hazards of living in urban areas.The two teachers who assigned the homework also apologized, saying in a statement that the assignment has been pulled and won't be graded.The Tennessee Department of Education says the middle school is 70 percent white. 785

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel says he's not stepping down amid criticism of his department's response to the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.Israel's declaration comes after a Florida state representative called on Gov. Rick Scott to remove Israel from his post for his deputies' "incomprehensible inaction" during the massacre.An investigation "by Sheriff Israel will do nothing to bring back the 17 victims," Bill Hager said in a letter to the governor, referring to the students and teachers confessed shooter, Nikolas Cruz, killed."The Sheriff was or should have been aware of the threat Cruz presented to his community and chose to ignore it," Hager claims.  732

Being a healthcare worker, especially this year, has been no easy task. Yet, applications for medical school are at an all-time high.“So I decided to apply to 32. I haven't regretted it yet, there's still time to, we’ll see,” Laura Shepherd, a medical school applicant, said. Shepherd recently graduated from the University of Hawaii, and has now applied for 32 medical schools this round.“There's kind of a range. Some students will apply to one,” she said. “The application process takes almost an entire year."She’s one of many hoping to get into medical school in 2021. In fact, admissions departments are seeing the most applicants ever.“What we’re finding is at this stage, an 18 percent increase in the number of applicants,” Dr. Geoffrey Young, the senior director for student affairs and programs at the Association of American Medical Colleges, said. The association is also referred to as the AAMC.Dr. Young said usually, they see a one to three percent increase in applications each year.“You just feel, your chances, statistically that really decreases your chances ya know,” Shepherd said.“We don’t quite know what that might be because we don’t have a trend of data at this point,” Dr. Young said. But they do have some guesses as to why there’s such a big increase — one being the instability of the job market. “Medicine remains a stable profession,” he said.And the dedication of healthcare workers through the pandemic has also played a role.“How can you not be touched by a nurse or a physician or a tech sitting with someone and they are dying and trying to make a connection, a human connection between that patient and that patients loved ones,” Dr. Young explained.“I had never wanted to go to medical school more. I really really wanted to go. I was fidgeting in my seat whenever I watched news reports of how bad it was,” Shepherd said.The rise in interest is good for the healthcare industry, as a whole.The U.S. could see an estimated shortage of 54,000 to 139,000 physicians by 2033, according to the AAMC. And burnout could factor into that.“Physicians, all the providers, all the staff stepped up for that first wave and that second wave through the summer and now the third wave. It’s just draining for everyone,” Dr. Scott Strauss said. He is a Division Vice President for Graduate Medical Education for HCA Healthcare. “It’s really the residency programs that also need to increase.”Residency happens after finishing medical school. Dr. Strauss and his coworkers are working on expanding the number of residency positions available. Both these and medical school spots would need to increase to help meet the demand of physicians.“Medical school residency training in healthcare in the future will absolutely be different and have been impacted by COVID,” Dr. Strauss said.As admissions departments sort through the record amount of applicants this year, pre-med graduates like Shepherd are hoping to be part of the change in the future.“Some people who aren't shooting to be a doctor might think that’s terrifying that must really make you second guess your choice,” she said. “But I think a lot of pre-med students would agree with me when they say that makes me want to do it more.” 3227

Bill Nye the Science Guy has returned to his roots of explaining scientific concepts, but on a different platform – TikTok.On Thursday, the former TV show host posted two videos on the platform, which is mostly used by younger people, to demonstrate why the public should wear masks to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.In his first video, Nye starts by explaining why people in the scientific community want you to wear face coverings when you’re out in public.“Face masks, like this one, prevent particles from my respiratory system from getting into the air and then into your respiratory system,” said Nye. “Blocking the movement of air is an old trick.”Nye then demonstrates how scarfs can block the movement of air to keep our necks warm, but they don’t block air enough to stop his breath from blowing out a candle.Afterwards, Nye brings out a homemade face mask with two layers of cloth and a pipe cleaner. Although the mask is simple, Nye says it “blocks the movement of air very effectively.” He tries to blow the candle out with the mask over his face, but he can’t.“If you’re wearing one of these, you’re protecting yourself and those around you,” said Nye. @billnye ##WearAMask ##LearnOnTikTok ##TikTokPartner? original sound - billnye In his second video, Nye brings out an N95 mask, which are used to block particles in the medical community and by those cutting their lawns. He tries to blow the candle out again and it’s even more effective than the cloth face mask.“So, the reason we want you to wear a mask is to protect you, sure, but the main reason we want you to wear a mask is to protect me, from you, and the particles from your respiratory system from getting into my respiratory system,” said Nye. “Everybody, this is a matter, literally, of life and death. And when I use the word literally, I mean literally.”“So, when you’re out in public, please where a mask,” Nye ends. @billnye ##WearAMask ##LearnOnTikTok ##TikTokPartner? original sound - billnye Nye isn’t the only one advocating for face coverings. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health officials are also asking Americans to wear masks in public to help slow the spread of COVID-19, which has killed more than 133,000 people in the U.S. and the cases are continuing to grow.A growing list of states are actually requiring residents to wear face coverings before leaving their homes. 2434
