A federal judge has ruled 114,000 homeless students in New York City are to have their day in court. Business Insider reports a judge has allowed a class-action lawsuit to advance to expedite the roll-out of WiFi to homeless shelters across the city. The suit was filed when homeless students were unable to access the internet in homeless shelters during periods of remote learning this year. Business Insider reports the city provided students with iPads with unlimited cellular data, but many have had trouble getting proper cell service. US District Judge Alison Nathan wrote in her opinion that homeless students are deprived of their right to education without internet connectivity. For as long as that deprivation exists, the City bears a duty...to furnish them with the means necessary for them to attend school. US District Judge Alison Nathan
New York City restaurants must stop indoor dining on Monday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday. Cuomo also called on Congress to include restaurants and bars in further economic aid packages. Restaurants in NYC will be required to close their indoor dining rooms, says Business Insider. The increased restrictions come as coronavirus cases in New York City surge. Indoor dining is an incredibly high-risk activity for COVID-19. Covered outdoor patios do not offer any safety either, as the air is stagnant inside the tent.
Every week, Rudy Giuliani posts a video to YouTube as part of his series, 'Rudy Giuliani's Common Sense.' There, the former New York City mayor and personal lawyer to President Donald Trump discusses political issues. Business Insider reports Friday's episode was a strange, 17-minute affair in which Giuliani pounded his desk making unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud. Citing no evidence, Giuliani called mail-in ballots 'unconstitutional' and a strategy for Democrats to hold back votes until they are needed in tight races. He also raged against Fox News for calling Arizona for Joe Biden. Thursday, pro-Trump protesters, some armed, tried to enter an Arizona polling station where votes were being counted in Maricopa County. Giuliani interrupted his own diatribe with two commercial breaks. In the second one, he smokes and promotes a 'real cigar' company with his discount code.
