Tuesdays with Terry: Chronic Absenteeism, Religious Backlash, & Rock n Roll HOF

Clark County School District is battling 26.9% chronic absenteeism, down from nearly 40% at the pandemic peak but still a major concern. The district faces a $50 million shortfall and will eliminate hundreds of teaching positions due to declining enrollment. Officials launched initiatives like “Every Day Matters,” home visits, and volunteer-driven support to get students back in class.  President Donald Trump sparked controversy after posting an image of Jesus Christ on his Truth Social account, drawing sharp reactions across social media and political circles. Critics called the post inappropriate and inflammatory, while supporters defended it as religious expression amid Trump’s ongoing political and cultural battles.  The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its latest class of inductees, honoring artists who shaped music and pop culture across generations. The list blends rock legends, influential newcomers, and long‑overdue honorees as fans debate who made the cut — and who was left out.  U.S. Border Patrol arrested four British men in northern Maine after they were found on the remote Golden Road near the Canadian border. Authorities say the men are accused of entering the U.S. illegally, highlighting ongoing border enforcement challenges even far from the southern border.
