The U.S. Department of Education announced on Monday that it would be launching an investigation into a Massachusetts school district after reports that students were given a survey with sexually explicit questions despite their parents opting out.In a press release, the department said that its Student Privacy Policy Office began an investigation into Burlington Public Schools after it distributed a "Youth Risk Behavior Survey" in late March. The survey featured questions about sexual experiences, alcohol use and gender identity.According to a complaint filed by the Massachusetts Liberty Legal Center, many parents chose to opt their children out because participation was voluntary. However, parents said the survey was still distributed to all students at Marshall Simonds Middle School and Burlington High School, including to those who had opted out, and that students were told they had to complete it.PARENTS WERE CONDEMNED FOR QUESTIONING DEI INITIATIVES AT SCHOOLS, NOW OFFICIALS AGREE POLICIES WENT TOO FAROne question in the 2025 survey asked students if theyve ever had sexual intercourse, describing the act in detail and providing the definitions of oral and anal sex. It also asked about the use of sex toys."Parents must be the primary decision-makers in their childrens education. The allegations that Burlington violated parents rights by administering a survey against parents wishes and particularly one that is graphic, and downright inappropriate in nature is unconscionable," U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement. "The Department will investigate this matter thoroughly and continue to resolutely defend parents rights."According to the department, the schools actions could violate the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), which "allows parents to recuse their children from participating in school surveys or questionnaires that ask students certain sensitive, private information."Superintendent Eric Conti apologized at an April 1 school committee meeting for failing to honor the opt-out policy, calling it a "mistake." On April 8, the committee voted unanimously to suspend all student surveys until a new policy is adopted."We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and the well-being of all students, and we value our continued collaboration with families and the broader community," an announcement on the districts website read.MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION AFTER STUDENT PLAY LIMITS AUDITIONS TO PERSONS OF COLORFox News Digital spoke to three parents at the time who voiced outrage over their children being exposed to sexually explicit questions."I felt absolutely sick to think that they were asking such explicit questions to children," Adrianne Simeone, a Burlington mother of a 13-year-old boy, told Fox News Digital in April. "Ive talked to my kids about sex. My children know about sexual reproduction, but I have not talked to them about anal sex or oral sex or sex toys. I dont think those were appropriate for minors of any age, let alone children as young as 11."In a statement to Fox News Digital this week, Burlington Public Schools reiterated that there was "no new news"regarding the announcement and acknowledged that five students were sent the survey despite opting out of the survey."The district apologized, hired an outside investigator, acknowledged faults in its opt-out procedure, put a moratoriumon all new surveys, and has begun to put corrective action in place with its legal counsel. Nothing was intentional, and nothingnew has happened since the school districtpubliclyand transparently discussed this lastspring," the statement read.Fox News Digital also reached out to the Massachusetts Liberty Legal Center for comment.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

President Donald Trump is reportedly working on a move that would give the U.S. a new military and economic foothold in Africa, counter China and Russia and strike a blow against Islamist terrorists in the region. And now a leading senator has told Fox News Digital this goal can be realized by recognizing the breakaway Somaliland as an independent state.Somaliland, on the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden, broke away from Somalia in 1991. Its government is said to be offering the U.S. a new air and sea base close to the entrance of the Red Sea, and directly across from Yemen and the Houthis, if the U.S. formally recognizes it, 30% of the worlds container ship traffic is reported to pass through its waters en route to or from the Suez Canal.In the Oval Office on Aug. 8, Trump told reporters, "Were looking into that right now," when asked about the recognition of Somaliland and the possible resettlement of Gazans there, adding, "Were working on that right now, Somaliland".TRUMP URGED TO AID YEMENS ANTI-HOUTHI FORCES AS TERROR GROUP ESCALATES ATTACKS ON SHIPPINGThe chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Africa,Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.,told Fox News Digital, "There is a very real opportunity that President Trump will recognize Somaliland during this administration."Cruz added, "President Trump is bringing a new era of clarity in American national security, after four years of the Biden administration rewarding our enemies and punishing our allies, and recognizing Somaliland should be part of this new era."Somaliland has been a reliable ally to the United States, is integrating itself with us and our allies globally, and is committed to helping us counter efforts by China to undermine the safety and prosperity of Americans," he said.The White House did not respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.Neighboring Somalia has been battling Islamist fundamentalist fighters for decades. U.S. Africa Command has increased the number of airstrikes against both ISIS andal-Shabab terrorists under the current administration.But Somaliland, 99% Muslim, has allegedly eliminated radicalism and has aligned itself with the U.S. and Israel, leading Cruz to tell Fox News Digital, "Theyre a Muslim country, in a very dangerous part of Africa, showing real courage. I will continue to push for deepening the U.S.-Somaliland partnership, including through the Africa Subcommittee in the Senate, and I expect that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will be receptive to doing so."PEACEMAKER TRUMP CAN END AFRICAS BIGGEST WAR, FORMER WHITE HOUSE ADVISOR SAYSEarlier this month, Cruz wrote to President Trump about Somaliland, stating,"it requires the status of a state. I urge you to grant it that recognition."Somalilandspresident,Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, is optimistic, telling the British Guardian newspaper on May 30,"Recognition is on the horizon." He added, "Its a matter of time. Not if, but when".Somalilands port at Berbera is the jewel in any Washington deal. Analysts say it is in such a strategic position that both Russia and China have tried to acquire it. Right next door to it is one of Africas five longest runways, offering the U.S. the possibility of both a sea and air base that can strike Houthi rebels to the north and Al Shabaab terrorists to the east.In his letter to the White House, Cruz wrote, "Somaliland has emerged as a critical security and diplomatic partner for the United States, helping America advance our national security interests in the Horn of Africa and beyond. It is strategically located along theGulf of Aden, putting it near one of the worlds busiest maritime corridors. It possesses capable armed forces and contributes to regional counterterrorism and piracy operations. It has proposed hosting a U.S. military presence near the Red Sea along the Gulf of Aden."US AFRICA COMMANDER HIGHLIGHTS TERROR GROWTH IN SAHEL AND COMPETITION WITH CHINA FOR INFLUENCEThe U.S.s largest military base in Africa is just up the coast in Djibouti. But there are security and surveillance issues at the Camp Lemonnier U.S. base where the Chinese and other nations have opened their own bases and monitoring stations nearby.Somaliland is also offering the White House access to rare earth minerals essential for high-tech industries, such as lithium and silicon quartz.The U.S. has described Somalia, with large numbers of both ISIS andal-Qaida-linked operatives, as a terrorist safe haven. Now the increasing presence of China and military forces from countries such as Turkey is reportedly leading some in Washington to be increasingly unhappy with its "one Somalia" policy, where Somaliland continues to be recognized only as a part of Somalia.For now, a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital the official position: "The United States recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia, which includes the territory of Somaliland.The State Department is not in active discussions with Somalilands representatives about a deal to recognize Somaliland as a state."But, Somalilands foreign minister worked Washingtons corridors and politicians in April, and several African sources, including the influential Horn Observer news outlet, have reported that President Abdullahi is expected to come to D.C. "soon". U.S. officials, including the U.S. ambassador to Somalia, Richard Riley, are said to have been to Somaliland to meet with the president at least three times this year.

Taylor Townsend let out a roar after upsetting No. 25-ranked Jelena Ostapenko, 7-5, 6-1, in her second-round match at the U.S. Open on Wednesday.But a face-to-face confrontation between the two competitors at center court was the biggest story coming out of Court 11.Townsend said that Ostapenko, a Latvian native who has a French Open title under her belt from 2017, said she has "no class" and "no education."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMTownsend, who is Black, was asked by a reporter if Ostapenkos comments at the net had racial undertones."I didnt take it in that way, but also, you know, that has been a stigma in our community of being not educated and all of the things, when its the furthest thing from the truth," Townsend replied."So, whether it had racial undertones or not, thats something she can speak on. The only thing that Im worried about right now is continuing to move forward through this tournament."Ostapenko wasnt asked by reporters, but she posted on Instagram about the confrontation, specifically talking about "how many messages I received that I am a racist.""I was NEVER racist in my life and I respect all nations of people in the world," Ostapenko posted. "For me, it doesnt matter where you come from."ARYNA SABALENKA REVEALS WHAT AMANDA ANISIMOVA DID IN WIMBLEDON SEMIFINAL THAT 'P---ED ME OFF'During the verbal altercation at the net, Ostapenko said something inaudible to Townsend as she went to shake the chair umpires hand. It clearly irked Townsend, who had an exasperated expression on her face before things got a bit more heated.Ostapenko was seen waving her finger at Townsend while they jawed back and forth."Its competition. People get upset when they lose," Townsend, who is ranked No. 1 in doubles, said after the match.Townsend added that in past matches against Ostapenko there was never any issues."Theres no beef on my side," she said. "She told me I have no education, no class, and to see what happens if we play each other outside of the U.S. I said, Im excited. Bring it. Ive never been the one to back down from anything like that."Townsends social media post began by saying she felt Townsend was "disrespectful" after not apologizing for the net cord helping her secure a point in the match."There are some rules in tennis which most of the players follow and it was (the) first time ever that this happened to me on tour," Ostapenko said. "If she plays in her homeland, it doesnt mean that she can behave and do whatever she wants."Ostapenko also didnt like that Townsend warmed up before the match at the net instead of at the baseline. Townsend said shes been doing the routine for years and it has never been an issue.Townsend is a star in WTA doubles, but in singles, she is ranked No. 139. She is the lowest-ranked American woman to beat a past Grand Slam champion at a major since Kristie Ahn, who just so happened to beat Ostapenko at the 2019 U.S. Open.Townsend has a tough third-round matchup against, as she will face No. 5-ranked Mirra Andreeva, the 18-year-old phenom, on Friday.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A former FBI special agent said that Washington, D.C.'s far-left policies surrounding crime backfired, forcing President Donald Trump to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department.In December 2016, the D.C. Council passed the Comprehensive Youth Justice Amendment Act, which banned life without parole for juveniles, eliminated mandatory minimums for juveniles tried as adults, allowed for "sentence review" for individuals who have served at least 20 years for crimes committed as a minor and more.The act also encouraged counseling for youth offenders as opposed to a prison sentence and offered a victim-offender mediation program rather than prosecution for certain crimes.In 2018, the D.C. Council updated the Youth Rehabilitation Act, which increased the age of a "youth offender" from 22 to 24, made certain crimes ineligible and allowed some individuals to request their convictions be thrown out. The act gives judges sentencing discretion in certain crimes where the defendant is under 24.US ATTORNEY PIRRO SAYS ADMINISTRATION WONT TOLERATE OUT OF CONTROL CRIME IN THE NATIONS CAPITALDespite efforts to bring down juvenile crime, incidents involving minors in Washington, D.C., persisted.NBC Washington reported that the number of juveniles arrested in Washington, D.C., has increased annually since 2020, with over 2,000 arrested in 2023 and 2024 alone.Juveniles even made up a majority of robbery arrests, with 51.8% in 2024, according to police. Almost 60% of carjacking suspects in 2025 were also juveniles.Dating back to August 2023, according to the New York Post, 56% of carjacking suspects in Washington, D.C., were under 18.Former FBI special agent Jonathan Gilliam told Fox News Digital that juvenile crime was a major factor in Trump's decision to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department, and said the light punishments only lead to repeat offenders."The same criminals are doing things over and over again and not getting punished for it, and that's what occurs when you have juveniles," Gilliam said. "All of this has to do with politics, but the reality is, at 15 years old, if somebody is making decisions on murder, that individual is doing adult crime, and they should be charged as such."Gilliam said that Washington, D.C., became more dangerous when politicians began "chopping" away at law enforcement.DC US ATTORNEY SAYS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AS YOUTH CRIME PUTS SPOTLIGHT ON NATIONS CAPITAL"In the way that things began to get more dangerous and a lot of those things have to do with city councils and mayors slowly at first chopping away at law enforcement," Gilliam said.In some cases, after the Comprehensive Youth Justice Amendment Act became law in Washington, D.C., some criminal sentences have raised eyebrows.19-year-old Javarry Peaks shot a stranger inside a Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority bus on March 8, according to the Department of Justice. Prosecutors said Peaks boarded the bus at 9:30 p.m. and began talking to someone. Prosecutors said the victim was shot in the chest after he attempted to push Peaks off.Under the Youth Rehabilitation Act, D.C. Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt suspended Peaks' four-year prison sentence followed by three years of supervised release, and only gave Peaks probation, according to WUSA9.U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro wasn't pleased with the judge's decision."This violent teen boarded public transportation with an illegal firearm and shot the victim in the chest," Pirro said. "His actions are reprehensible and dangerous, and it is only by the grace of God that the victim did not die and that others were not harmed that day.""D.C. will not be safe until judges hold violent offenders accountable by putting them in jail. To make D.C. safe again, there must be serious consequences for these heinous crimes," she added.Mayor Muriel Bowser declined to comment. Fox News Digital reached out to the D.C. Council.

President Donald Trump has the "upper hand" on the Democratic Party when it comes to crime, Politico's Rachel Bade said Wednesday during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe.""From a purely political standpoint, Donald Trump, on this issue, believes he has the upper hand, and I think you're seeing that right now," Bade said. "I mean we see a lot of Democrats talking about how, Oh, this is authoritarian,' right? But look, voters dont like overtly partisan power grabs, sure. But theres one thing they dont like even more, and that is feeling unsafe in their own neighborhoods."Bade wrote in a column for Politico on Tuesday that the Democratic Party needed a better response to Trump's crime crackdown.CHRIS MATTHEWS SAYS DEMOCRATS 'FALLING INTO A TRAP OF DEFENDING WHATS INDEFENSIBLE' ON CRIME"Its not about winning this fightits about the fight itself. He wants to be the one to tell voters, Im tough on crime, what are you going to do?' And what Democrats are doing right now is saying, Oh, you dont have the authority, and crime is down. That doesnt resonate with people. You have to have specific solutions about how you're going to protect their communities," Bade said on MSNBC.Bade argued in her column that Trump's plan was to focus on crime ahead of the 2026 midterm elections."The White Houses public safety play is a deliberate ploy to refocus the narrative on an issue that favors Republicans ahead of the midterms one thats already backing Democrats into a corner," she wrote.She said Trump was playing to a national audience.CHICAGO PASTOR BLASTS DEMOCRATS FOR OUTRIGHT LYING ABOUT CRIME, URGES TRUMP TO SEND NATIONAL GUARD"If his recent escalation was an attempt to goad Democrats into declaring that crime isnt a problem, repelling swing voters in the process, top Democrats did not disappoint him," Bade added.While speaking to reporters during a Cabinet meeting, Trump accused Democrats of supporting crime.The president has led an effort to crack down on crime in Washington, D.C., and has hinted he would be looking at Chicago next.Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D-Ill., accused Trump of "attempting to manufacture a crisis" in Chicago as he suggested sending the National Guard.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy a U.S. city, punish its dissidents and score political points. If this were happening in any other country, we would have no trouble calling it what it is a dangerous power grab," Pritzker said during a press conference on Monday."Go talk to the people of Chicago who are enjoying a gorgeous afternoon in this city ask if they want their neighborhoods turned into a war zone by a wannabe dictator," he added.

Meghan Markle recently called certain royal protocols "inauthentic," but experts are saying the Duchess of Sussex is the one who comes off as insincere."I thought Meghans anecdote about pantyhose was ludicrous. In a story meant to remind us of how suffocating being a very brief member of the royal family was, Meghan tells the host, I hadn't seen pantyhose since movies in the '80s when they came in the little egg. That felt a little bit inauthentic," royal expert Kinsey Schofield of YouTube show "Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered" told Fox News Digital.She added, "This is the same woman that waxed poetically about Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, on her 'Confessions of a Female Founder podcast."In a video interview published Tuesday, Markle told Bloomberg that royal protocol, like not being allowed to be as vocal as she would like or always having to wear nude pantyhose, "felt a little inauthentic" to her when she was a senior royal. "But thats a silly example. But it is an example of when youre able to dress the way you want to dress, and youre able to say the things that are true and youre able to show up in the space really organically and authentically, thats being comfortable in your own skin."MEGHAN MARKLE ADMITS PRINCE HARRY PROPOSAL NIGHT DISASTER: 5 STANDOUT MOMENTS FROM HER NETFLIX SHOWMarkle continued that in her life now, she doesn't feel she needs to "prove anything.""Meghans pity parties sell and if I were Netflix, I would be angry that a far more personal interview was released the same day as her streaming program where we hardly get any insight into Meghans private life with Harry," Schofield said, referring to Markle's second season of "With Love, Meghan," which also debuted Tuesday.Meanwhile, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital that he also views the new season of Markle's lifestyle series as inauthentic."It is instructive seeing this whilst wading through the vacuous second series of With Love, Meghan. Its trivial, smiley and cringey," he said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERHe added that Markle's "crack" at the royal family about inauthenticity "was an obvious ploy to get headlines. She knows that any mention of her time as a senior working royal gets instant worldwide attention."Schofield said Markles "constant contradictions are jarring."PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE'S WEDDING DAY SPARKED PROFANE REACTION FROM PRINCE PHILIP: BOOK"Insinuating that nude tights are somehow archaic while promoting a TV series where shes glued to a kitchen being Susie Homemaker," she added.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSShe also pointed out that despite Markle "moaning about not having a voice," the truth is the "royal family gave Meghan the platform she has today. She would not have the opportunities she has in 2025 if it werent for her proximity to the British royal family. It would be nice to hear her acknowledge that.""If youre constantly having to tell us how authentic you are you probably arent as authentic as you think you are," she added.Asked if Markles remarks could hurt Prince Harrys chances of a royal reconciliation, Schofield said that he hasnt been "actively" working on reuniting with his family.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Aside from one communications meeting between both households, which the royals were reportedly very unhappy to see leaked, there has been no contact with his family," she explained. "This comes on the heels of a BBC interview in which Harry remarked that he did not know how much longer his father had to live, a comment that was also said to be deeply upsetting to the palace."Harry told the BBC in an interview earlier this year that he would "love" to reconcile with his family because "life is precious" and he doesn't "know how much longer my father has," likely referring to King Charles III's cancer diagnosis last year.But he said any reconciliation would be "entirely up to" the royal family.
