Rhode Island Mom Sued After Asking to See Kindergarten Curriculum

A Rhode Island mother, Nicole Solas, became a national example in the school transparency debate after she asked to see what her daughter would be taught in kindergarten and then used public records requests to obtain the information. She has said she was trying to understand classroom content tied to topics like race and gender, while school and union supporters have argued districts must balance transparency with staff time, privacy rules, and records laws.

In 2021, the National Education Association and its Rhode Island affiliate filed a lawsuit connected to Solas’s public records requests, and the dispute quickly became political. Critics viewed the lawsuit as a warning shot to parents who ask questions. Others saw it as part of a broader conflict over how public-records requests should be handled when a district says the volume of requests is overwhelming or disruptive.

The case also drew attention because of the costs attached to getting the records. Reporting and legal commentary around the dispute described a large fee estimate for producing records tied to curriculum-related requests, which Solas and her supporters argued functioned like a barrier to access. Districts and their attorneys often respond that large requests can require extensive searching, review, and redaction work, and that state law sometimes allows fees for that labor.

Over time, the situation shifted from a single parent-school dispute into a larger argument about parental rights and public accountability. Solas’s supporters framed her as a parent punished for asking basic questions. Critics of the viral framing say the “sued for asking” description can leave out the legal details, including how the requests were submitted, how the district responded, and what parts of the conflict were about records compliance rather than the curriculum itself.

More recently, advocacy updates have claimed Solas ultimately won key points in court related to transparency and records handling, and that her legal fight pressured local officials to change how they respond to similar requests. At the same time, school systems in Rhode Island and elsewhere argue that broad records demands can become expensive quickly, especially when they require searching old systems, pulling large volumes of documents, and reviewing material for student and employee privacy protections.

The larger question raised by this clip is straightforward: should parents have the right to know what their kids are being taught. Many conservatives argue full curriculum transparency is a basic parental right and a safeguard against political or ideological instruction. Many middle-of-the-road observers agree parents deserve clear access to curriculum, while also expecting guardrails that prevent harassment, protect private data, and keep requests workable for schools with limited staff.

Pointing a laser at Marine One—the helicopter used to transport the President of the United States—is treated as a serious federal offense, not a prank. 

DON'T POINT LASERS AT MARINE ONE! #trump #lazer #presidenttrump #foryou #shorts #fypシ

Any laser illumination of an aircraft is dangerous, but when it involves a presidential transport, it triggers an immediate security response. Pilots can be temporarily blinded, flight instruments disrupted, and the incident is assumed to be a potential hostile act until proven otherwise.

From a security standpoint, Marine One operates under the assumption that any interference could be an assassination attempt or reconnaissance. Law enforcement and federal agencies will respond fast, using ground teams, aviation assets, and electronic tracking to locate the source. People caught aiming lasers at aircraft—especially Marine One—can face felony charges, heavy fines, prison time, and lifelong federal scrutiny.

The bottom line is simple: lasers and aircraft do not mix, and lasers and presidential aircraft are treated as a national security threat. What might seem harmless for a second can escalate into a situation with permanent consequences.

Two men from North Texas are facing federal conspiracy charges after investigators uncovered a disturbing plan that authorities say involved invading a small Haitian island, killing the men who lived there, and enslaving women and children. 

Suspects plan to murder all Island's men, enslave women

Two North Texas men were indicted after plotting to invade a Haitian island, kill its men and enslave women and children, according to officials. Gavin Weisenburg and Tanner Thomas now face charges of conspiracy to murder abroad.

According to the indictment, Gavin Weisenburg and Tanner Thomas spent months talking about their fantasy operation, treating it like a real-world mission rather than an online role-play. 

Officials say they discussed weapons, logistics, recruitment, and even how they would divide up people afterward—details that pushed the case beyond talk and into criminal intent.

Investigators allege the pair were driven by a warped worldview influenced by violent dominance, territorial conquest, and the idea of taking control by force. The conversations described in the indictment show the two men treating the plan like an adventure or a power fantasy, using language that sounded more like something pulled out of a pulp novel than real life. Yet authorities say they were serious enough to draw federal attention, leading to charges of conspiracy to murder abroad and other related offenses that carry severe penalties.

According to the Justice Department, the men communicated about traveling to Haiti by boat, selecting an island they believed they could overpower with minimal resistance. Officials say they discussed killing the adult men on the island, using violence to intimidate survivors, and forcing women and children into servitude. The indictment claims they also talked about arming themselves and raising funds, demonstrating intent rather than idle imagining. What began as disturbing conversations eventually crossed into actionable planning, triggering the investigation that resulted in their arrest.

Federal agents arrested the men before they could make any attempt to travel. The case highlights how modern digital communication gives law enforcement a window into extremist fantasies before they escalate into real-world harm. Authorities say that in this instance, the men spoke with such detail and seriousness that intervention became necessary to prevent potential violence. Their initial court appearance revealed little emotion, and both now face the full weight of federal prosecution as they await trial.

Although the alleged plot sounds chaotic and bizarre—almost like fiction—the charges reflect the seriousness of planning violence against foreign civilians. Prosecutors emphasize that harm abroad is treated the same as harm at home if U.S. citizens are involved. The case stands as another example of how dangerous ideology, isolation, and violent fantasy can mix into something volatile, even when the plans seem unhinged. Now, with the indictment filed, it will be up to the court to determine how far the men truly intended to go and what consequences they will face.
