Julian Assange's extradition from UK to US approved by home secretary
Priti Patel has approved the extradition of the WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange to the US, a decision the organisation immediately said it would appeal against in the high court.
The case passed to the home secretary last month after the supreme court ruled there were no legal questions over assurances given by US authorities over how Assange was likely to be treated.
While Patel has given a green light, WikiLeaks immediately released a statement to say it would appeal against the decision.
"Today is not the end of fight," it said. "It is only the beginning of a new legal battle. We will appeal through the legal system; the next appeal will be before the high court."

Seems like we could fix that by getting school administrators that value kids more than guns. We do have those in the US somewhere, right?

I love when your rightwinger attitude just can't help shining through. What can school admins do if they just cared more about the kids???

Drop the hysterical lockdown drills for starters.
