Will federal funds be provided to states prevent future election hacking?

Ok ..It happened once...Will Congress set up funds and a system for states to make sure that it doesn't happen again?...My opinion..?..No. Why? It favored them, that is all they care about..Some may vote for such provisions..but I don't think it will ever even get to a vote. Who knows?

High School Journalists Land a Scoop, and the Principal Resigns: NYTimes

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/05/us/high-school-journalists-principal-quits.html?_r=0

Four days after students at a high school newspaper in Kansas published an article that questioned the credentials of a recently hired principal, she resigned.

The episode, which unfolded at Pittsburg High School in Pittsburg, Kan., about 125 miles south of Kansas City, garnered news coverage and won praise from journalism organizations for investigative reporting by student journalists.

The story began to germinate on March 6, when the Pittsburg Community Schools announced it had hired Amy Robertson as the high school principal.

In a statement, it said her “diverse and extensive experience impressed district staff and leadership and repeatedly propelled her to the top” of the list of candidates. She had “decades of experience in education” and was the chief executive of a consulting firm that advised companies on education, the statement said.

Maddie Baden, a 17-year-old junior and a staff member of the student-run newspaper The Booster Redux, set out to write a profile. Emily Smith, a teacher and adviser to The Redux, said on Wednesday that she had not expected the reporting to lead to questions about Ms. Robertston’s credentials.

“We’re Midwesterners,” she said. “As soon as somebody puts something on paper, we think they’re honest about what they’re saying.”

But in multiple interviews over several days, Ms. Robertson provided details of her background that did not hold up, Ms. Smith said.

Then Ms. Robertson became increasingly evasive.

“She was asked direct questions,” Ms. Smith said. “She couldn’t give direct answers.”

In a real-life Superman moment, a New York City man lifted another man off the subway train tracks barely a minute before the train was due to arrive.

The cell phone video capturing Saturday’s daring rescue shows 29-year-old Jonathan Kulig walking across the tracks and carrying the fallen man out of harm’s way.

“You see someone who needs help, you do it,” Kulig told Fox 5 News on Tuesday morning.

Kulig, whom Con Edison has identified as an engineering supervisor for the electric company, said he had just exited a Manhattan-bound L train when he saw something fall onto the tracks on the opposite side of the Third Avenue station.
