An Airline Passenger Was Reported to a Supervisor For Asking This 1 Question

Even flying first class, there are some things passengers should not ask their flight attendants.
According to a story posted on Reddit, a passenger in seat 1B on a red-eye flight from Maui, Hawaii, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, asked a question to their flight attendant that brought the passenger unwanted scrutiny, as told by a passenger in a nearby seat.
Just as inflight service was about to begin, the passenger asked the flight attendant about new security procedures.
'Hey totally random question, but on my last couple flights I noticed the FAs did not block access to the galley when the pilot used the lavatory,' the poster on Reddit reported that the passenger said. 'Is this a new procedure for you guys?'
The flight attendant demurred from answering the question, but reported the passenger to the cabin manager. According to the poster, the cabin manager then approached the passenger in seat 1B to ask why they were inquiring about security procedures on the flight. When the cabin manager informed the passenger that the information was not something that the flight attendants could discuss with passengers for security reasons, the passenger was reported to have said 'Oh excuse me, I didn't realize I wasn't able to ask questions.'
The cabin manager is said to have replied, 'I can answer most questions, but I cannot answer questions related to the security of the aircraft.'
Flight attendants are always hyper-alert for suspicious behavior from passengers that could indicate an intention to cause harm to the pilot, fellow passengers, or the plane itself. A passenger seated very close to the cockpit and asking about perceived weaknesses in pilot security procedures is the sort of thing that can raise a red flag for flight attendants.
The rest of the red-eye flight continued as usual, until the pilot got up to use the lavatory during the journey. Two flight attendants were summoned to the front of the plane to block access to the galley, while reportedly pointedly looking at the passenger in 1B during the procedure.
'Unbelievable this guy can't understand why it might be suspicious for the passenger seated in one of the two closest possible seats to the flight deck door to ask about galley obstructions procedures,' the original poster on Reddit wrote.
Passengers should be respectful and aware on flights and avoid behavior that could draw suspicions from the flight attendants.

LGBTQ+ young people in Philadelphia find a home and a community at The Attic Youth Center

For LGBTQ youth in Philadelphia, The Attic offers a safe haven and a community For LGBTQ youth in Philadelphia, The Attic offers a safe haven and a community For LGBTQ youth in Philadelphia, The Attic offers a safe haven and a community Tucked away in the heart of Center City Philadelphia is a space that has meant safety, support and self-discovery for LGBTQ+ youth for more than three decades. Since its founding in 1993, The Attic Youth Center has evolved from an eight-week pilot program into a full-service organization that now serves hundreds of young people each year. "What started as an eight-week pilot, really a support group, has grown now into this full-service organization where we get to serve hundreds of youth every year," said Jasper Liem, executive director of The Attic. On any given afternoon, 30 to 50 LGBTQ+ youth find a home at The Attic through after-school programs that offer counseling, life skills workshops and hot meals, all free of charge. "For queer young folk, it's essential to have this kind of community support," Liem said. That support is more critical than ever. LGBTQ+ youth, especially transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals, face growing challenges and increased hostility, both socially and politically. "A lot of us, we come out and we're in families of origin that are not supportive, or they don't know what it's like to live this life," Liem said. "There's so much misinformation and lies, especially right now, especially around trans and gender queer things." According to The Trevor Project, environments that are supportive and affirming can be life-saving. For many youth at The Attic, the center becomes more than a resource — it becomes a chosen family. "Having chosen family means having mentorship," said one young adult at the center. "I want them to be safe," Liem said. "I want them to be happy. I want what any adult would want for a young person in their community."

Colorado Department of Education releases 2025 student performance report card

The Colorado Department of Education released preliminary results Wednesday outlining the overall success and progress made by Colorado students over the last year. Colorado public school students in grades three through 11 took the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS), PSAT and SAT assessments this spring. In most areas of study, students reached or surpassed pre-pandemic levels, with the exception of fourth-grade and eighth-grade English Language Arts and eighth-grade math. Changes reported in the state-level scores include: Steady student performance in English Language Arts (ELA), with slight increases in the percentage of students meeting grade-level expectations in grades five, six, and eight, and a more substantial gain in grade seven. In math, Colorado's elementary and middle school students continue to demonstrate strong progress, with notable year-over-year gains in grades four through eight and an upward trend since 2021. Overall, CMAS scores are at or above pre-pandemic levels in all grades except grade four (ELA) and grade eight (ELA and math). SAT results for 11th-grade students improved in both reading and writing and math compared to last year. PSAT 9 scores remained steady in reading and writing but declined in math, while PSAT 10 scores increased in math and decreased in reading and writing. Although final results will be released in August, including state, district and school-level data, the CDE decided to release the preliminary scores this week to help families identify areas their students need support in over the summer. "We wanted families to have early access to their students' results so they could celebrate areas of strength and seek support where needed," said Colorado Education Commissioner Susana Córdova. Individual students' CMAS scores are available through the Family Score Report Portal. Parents and guardians must have their child's State Assigned Student Identifier (SASID) to access the student's information.
