New name for Veterans Day? Trump says he wants to change it
President Donald Trump wants to rename Veterans Day to "Victory Day for World War I" as a way to celebrate the United States' military victories, he said in a social media post on May 1. He also said he's pushing to recognize May 8 as "Victory Day for World War II." "We are going to start celebrating our victories again!" Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. Veterans Day is a federal holiday recognized each year on Nov. 11. It marks the date when fighting ceased in World War I, though it also generally honors American veterans for their willingness to serve, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Quebec to impose full ban on cellphones in schools
Quebec is moving ahead with a full ban on cellphones and other electronic devices in schools. Bernard Drainville, the education minister, said cellphones are a barrier to socialization among students and can lead to conflict. "Too many conflicts, too much violence, starts with cellphones, sometimes even during class hours," he said. "When there are no cellphones, young people talk." The province has already banned cellphones in classrooms as of Jan 1 2024. The new ban will apply from the beginning to the end of the school day, including breaks. The ban will apply to both public and private schools at the elementary school and high school level.
