NEW: North Carolina high school student arrested after assaulting his teacher as students in the class filmed and laughed.
The teen is now facing three misdemeanor charges for assault on a government official.
Unlike many other school assault cases, the district attorney launched an investigation into the assault within an hour after the video was posted.
“Both Sheriff Kimbrell and myself spent the morning at Parkland High School speaking with the teacher,” said Forsyth county DA Jim O’Neil.
“This isn’t about the color of your skin, this isn’t about your political affiliation, today is about one thing. Sending a message to the teachers out there, that law enforcement and the District Attorney’s Office support you, we care about the job you do.”
The public school system is a mess.
After getting sent overseas twice with UMR customer service # I finally was passed to a wonderful customer service agent in Florida. I was so grateful for Betsy's help. She deserves a raise for the time she took w/ me. So helpful. #keepjobsinusa#umrcustomerservice#betsyrocks
🚨 Did you know artificial sweeteners might impact your gut health? Here's a quick guide to stay informed.
Spotting Sweeteners:
• Aspartame: Diet sodas & sugar-free gum
• Sucralose: Baking & diet foods (Splenda)
• Saccharin: Sweet'N Low products
• Stevia: Marketed as natural, in sugar-free items
• Ace-K: Enhances sweetness in low-cal foods
Label Literacy:
✔️ Ingredients list is key
✔️ "Sugar-Free" = likely has artificial sweeteners
✔️ "Diet"/"Low-Calorie" tags are hints
✔️ "Natural Sweeteners" can still affect gut flora
✔️ Serving sizes matter!
Gut Microbiome Impact:
Research shows that artificial sweeteners disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, decreasing beneficial microbes and increasing harmful ones, which affects metabolic health and digestion. These changes in the gut microbiota are linked to impaired glucose metabolism, increased inflammation, and a higher risk of metabolic disorders.
Stay informed, read labels, and choose wisely for your gut health. #ArtificialSweeteners
