Michigan State Senator Dayna Polehanki is aware of a factor or two about what it’s wish to run a classroom.
Earlier than being elected to the Michigan Senate in 2018, Polehanki was a highschool English instructor for 18 years at New Haven Excessive Faculty. She was named “Instructor of the 12 months” within the district twice.
In 2018, she flipped Michigan’s seventh district from purple to blue. However Democrats stay within the minority in each state homes in Lansing, which has confirmed to be a serious impediment for passing any kind of gun reform.
After the Uvalde, Texas faculty taking pictures, which ended with 19 youngsters murdered, together with two academics, Michigan Democrats, together with Polehanki, tried to revive payments on the Senate ground, however had been blocked by Republicans.

One of many greatest payments, the Secure Storage Bundle — a set of payments from each the Senate and Home — would require correctly securing firearms to stop unintended damage or loss of life when the firearms may very well be accessible to minors. Democrats moved to convey the package deal to the ground, however the movement was rejected, and the package deal of payments was despatched again to a committee, the place Democrats stated “payments go to die.”
Some Republicans will usually convey up the thought of arming academics as a technique to forestall faculty shootings, however like many academics, Polehanki says that concept just isn’t even value discussing.
“As a former highschool instructor, I can say with confidence that arming academics is among the dumbest concepts I’ve ever heard and doesn’t advantage severe dialogue,” Polehanki stated. “There’s a purpose why main public security and schooling teams oppose arming academics – extra weapons just isn’t the reply to gun violence. It’s not an affordable factor to ask of academics who’re managing 1,000,000 issues through the work day, and will result in further tragedy.”

Different payments proposed by Democrats embody requiring common background checks on all gun gross sales, permitting native governments to ban weapons on property they personal or lease, and prohibiting promoting or possessing {a magazine} able to holding greater than 10 rounds of ammunition with some exception.

All of these payments had been launched in 2021, and lots of of them earlier than the Oxford taking pictures. None of those payments had been introduced up this week.
“My focus is and all the time shall be maintaining weapons out faculties within the first place, which is why I assist purple flag legal guidelines, journal capability legal guidelines, common background test legal guidelines, and secure storage legal guidelines. There may be not one singular repair however doing nothing just isn’t an choice,” Polehanki stated.

Michigan Football: Sophomore defender leading critical position battle
![Michigan Football: Sophomore defender leading critical position battle Michigan Football: Sophomore defender leading critical position battle](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_2400,h_1350,x_0,y_47/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/wolverine_digest/01j3v1z0r5ca5t09v7r6.jpg)
With fall camp set to kick off next week, head coach Sherrone Moore indicated that a sophomore defender is currently leading one of the most critical position battles heading into 2024. Speaking with reporters at Big Ten Media Days this week, Moore shared his thoughts about the Michigan secondary. Along with feeling great about the depth, he also singled out sophomore Jyaire Hill as the current leader to start at the cornerback spot opposite Will Johnson.
“Feel great about the depth,” Moore said on the secondary during Big Ten Media Days. “Obviously, you’ve got Will Johnson who is the best corner in college football. Opposite of him it could be a number of guys. The guy right now looks like Jyaire Hill, but Aamir Hall, Ricky Johnson has come in, Myles Pollard is making a push to get better. We’re excited about all those corners, we’ve got a lot of depth there.”
Considering how often his name was mentioned throughout spring ball, It’s not all that surprising that Hill is currently leading in that battle. At 6-2, 185 pounds, the scrappy sophomore has the size, speed, and mentality that are required to excel at the position. Having only appeared in four games as a true freshman in 2023, the biggest knock against Hill right now is his lack of experience. The good news is that the young corner has spent a year in the program learning from the top cornerback in all of college football.

Although Hill is the current leader, it’s worth noting that Amir Hall – the FCS All-American corner from Albany – is set to enter the battle when camp kicks off next week. Hall, who’s entering his fourth season of collegiate football, has the same characteristics that make Hill such an appealing option at the position – but he also provides the experience.
Elsewhere in the secondary, there will be other critical position battles during fall camp. Not only does Michigan return veteran talent like Makari Paige and Quinten Johnson, but the Wolverines also added two transfer portal safeties in Jaden Mangham (Michigan State) and Wes Walker (Lousiville).
“Safety you’ve got Makari Paige obviously, unfortunate with Rod [Moore] and the injury there but feel like we’ve got some guys who have come in and can really help,” Moore said. “Having Quinten Johnson back is huge, Zeke Berry has really, really taken the steps necessary. Had a great, great spring. and excited to see him. We’ve got two transfers in the secondary with the safeties with Jaden [Mangham] and Wes Walker. We’ve got a lot of competition. As we say, the depth chart is ever-flowing. We never stop. We’ll continue to see who wins the job.”
