AP correspondent Jackie Quinn reports on School Shooting Iowa Principal.

A faith-based educational institution in the heartland of America, specifically in Iowa, has made the critical decision to permit certain members of its team to carry defensive implements to ensure the safety of its students. The institution refrains from revealing exact details regarding which members of the faculty will have permission to do so, including specifics about the count and identity of the said individuals. This resolution was reached following an unfortunate incident in the region - a violent event that unfolded at Perry High School in Iowa with alarming consequences. The tragic event at Perry led to the untimely demise of a sixth-grader and left multiple individuals consisting of four students and a staff member in a state of injury. The aftermath had the educational community in Iowa reevaluating its safety measures. Making strides in this direction, our aforementioned faith-based institution is making its stance clear - the wellbeing and safety of the student population and staff are non-negotiable priorities. The institution encompasses a proactive approach in its action plan. In order to mitigate the devastating effects in the face of potential danger, certain faculty members will be equipped with defensive tools on the premises. These selected staff members will have undergone specific training to handle such confrontational situations as they may arise. In stating this, it must be clarified that the decision was not reached hastily but involved a meticulous process that spanned the entirety of the previous year. The school's administration and board worked diligently in developing a methodical procedure for choosing and educating the staff members. Inputs from diverse panels of industry experts, legal advisors, insurance providers, and members of the law enforcement were considered in arriving at the final decisions. The process was designed to ensure that the vested staff members are trained to deliver an immediate response against imminent threats. The groundwork, planning, and necessary preparations have been thorough and exhaustive. They are trained to focus on the threat directly in an unfortunate event of an active shooter on the premises. It is to be noted that this response system was devised to provide valuable time for the remaining faculty and pupils to maneuver to valid safety zones. The prospect of an active counter-response also aims to deter potential offenders until respectively trained law enforcement officials can reach the scene to take control of the situation. Though this action might seem controversial to some, the school's leadership wishes to reiterate their conviction in making this difficult yet critical choice. Understanding the gravity of the situation, the decision to arm trained staff was deemed a 'necessary' measure. This is a step up in security to ensure the safety of the community that they are responsible for. On an empathetic note, it was conveyed that the decision-making process wasn't easy. The complexity of the situation and the heavy responsibility weighed on the decision-makers. However, the driving force was the thought of possibly having to face the school community in the aftermath of a security breach - a moment no institution ever wants to experience. The unwavering commitment to ensuring due diligence and protection is evident from the school's decision, for should a regrettable situation arise at the school, the administration remains steadfast in their promise to have done everything within their means to protect their students and staff. The decision is a testament to the lengths the school is ready to go to provide safety and peace of mind to all their constituents. The aim was to assure you that the trust you place in this institution is not misplaced. Their initiative to upgrade security procedures serves the goal of ensuring the wellbeing of the student body and staff. And while the decision was difficult, considering the grim circumstances that led to it, the school maintains that is was necessary. To conclude, this announcement signals the school's commitment to being prepared, despite the rarity and extremity of the threat. It underlines their dedication to safeguard the school fraternity, aiming at preventing unfortunate incidents, and if necessary, addressing them promptly and effectively. What makes this decision more meaningful is the acknowledgement of its difficulty and the willingness to take needed measures. The actions are meant to address an unfortunate yet real world problem, preparing the school in case of such unthinkable happenings. Overall, the intent is to ensure that every student, faculty, and staffer can make the most of the educational environment free of worry. The school's mission to impart education and foster growth remains steadfast, and they are committed to ensure that every necessary step is taken so as to not let fear hinder this goal. The ultimate proof of resolve lies in action. Hence, this distasteful yet necessary decision is a critical step towards making sure the institution remains a secure place of learning. The school continues striving to ensure that all its members, students and staff, know that their safety is of utmost importance.

On today’s episode Julie talks to Heather Savigny, formerly Professor of Gender Studies at De Montfort University in Leicester in the United Kingdom. Heather supported a student – whom she had witnessed being sexually harassed by a male faculty member at a departmental social – in bringing a complaint. The result was not what Heather expected: she ended up leaving the university after being bullied and threatened with discipline for supporting the student, who was distraught when the man who harassed her returned to work despite the complaint being upheld. Heather’s experience is unfortunately consistent with what many students and faculty who become involved in trying to hold faculty sexual harassers to account describe. Heather’s most recent book, Cultural Sexism: The Politics of Feminist Rage in the #MeToo Era, is published by Bristol University Press.

TW: Sexual violence and rape. In this episode, Jessy and Rebekah speak with Annie who was raped when she was in college and who, despite doing all the “right” things after her attack was still unable to achieve justice through our system. Just a note, if you feel you might get triggered by this content, please skip over. It is important to us that you take care of yourself. And if you have been raped or assaulted and need help, please call the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline at (800)-656-HOPE (4673). By calling this number you will be routed to a local RAINN-affiliated organization based off the first six digits of your phone number. Cell phone users have the option to enter their ZIP code so they can be connected with a local sexual assault service provider. 08:45: According to RAINN, 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Among graduate and undergraduate students, 11.2% of all students experience rape or sexual assault through violence, physical force or incapacitation. 09:30: Here is a document created by the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault in April 2014. It explains what a victim advocate is as well as what other services should be offered to students who are victims of sexual violence on campus. 10:00: Here is an article from The Atlantic that talks about how to rape kit backlog has meant that thousands of rapists have gone unfound – some of them serial predators. Women were put through the terror and discomfort of doing a rape kit and oftentimes they are never tested. They just sit in warehouses and rot. 13:00: Here is “an updated definition of rape” from the archives of the Department of Justice, published January 6, 2012. In it, the DOJ makes considerations for incapacitation due to alcohol ingestion when it says, “because many rapes are facilitated by drugs or alcohol, the new definition recognizes that a victim can be incapacitated and thus unable to consent because of ingestion of drugs or alcohol.” 18:10: Here is a one-stop shop for the information about Title IX. There have been a lot of changes since Tr*mp took office and put Betsy DeVos in charge of the education department. Unsurprisingly none of those changes have been good. Contact us! Watch us! Love us!
