 Anambra to go after houses without proper drainage in order to combat Erosion  Worried by the rising menace of gully erosion, the Anambra State Government has threatened to enforce regulations requiring residents to provide proper drainage for storm water from their homes. The State Executive Council (ANSEC), which announced the proposed enforcement, lamented that erosion remains an existential challenge in Anambra, blaming the situation on careless actions by some communities and lapses by regulatory bodies in enforcing environmental laws. Briefing journalists after the weekly executive council meeting, the Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, said it had been observed that some residents channel storm water from their homes directly onto roads, where it accumulates and worsens the erosion crisis across the state. “ANSEC has resolved to step up enforcement to compel residents to properly channel and manage storm water from their houses.

 Virginia public school faces backlash after students reportedly played segregation game


A public school in Alexandria, Virginia is under scrutiny after students reportedly played a game in which Black students were segregated, on school grounds.


FOX 5 in Washington, D.C. reported that the incident took place at Lyles-Crouch Traditional Academy, which is described on the school’s site as a K-5 public school in Old Town Alexandria with a diverse student body.


According to reports, the students played the game during social studies and the school’s principal, Laura Burkart, told parents about the matter through a letter.


In the letter, Burkart reportedly described the game as inappropriate, though she did not apologize for the incident.


The station spoke with a parent off-camera, who said her African American daughter was a victim of the so-called segregation game.


The mother told the station Burkart did not apologize, though the students involved in the game did.


The fourth-grade students were at the playground during after-school hours when the game was played.


The mother said several white students told her daughter she could not enter their imaginary schoolhouse or play with them because she was Black.


When the mother met with Burkart, the principal reportedly got emotional. She also demanded that the students apologize to the mother’s daughter.


Still, the mother told the station that Burkart’s handling of the matter alienated her daughter even more.


And it was not just her daughter who was involved. In fact, the station reported that several other minority children were allegedly excluded from playing with the white children.
