Spirit Airlines sent an unaccompanied 6-year-old to the wrong city
The child was supposed to fly from Philadelphia International Airport to Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers on Thursday. But the minor was incorrectly boarded on a flight to Orlando, according to the airline.
The child was always under the care and supervision of a Spirit Team Member, and as soon as we discovered the error, we took immediate steps to communicate with the family and reconnect them, Spirit said in a statement Saturday.

It will ask for your PNS channel.

PA School Board President sworn in on a stack of frequently banned books instead of Bible
BREAKING: MAGA fans screech bloody murder after a Philadelphia school board president chooses not to be sworn in on the Bible swearing instead on a stack of books that are frequently banned by right-wing fanatics.
And that's not even the best part...
Central Bucks president Karen Smith's oath is going viral, with Democrats loving it and Republicans throwing one of their trademark fits. Her bold stand against local Republican board members who tried to ban "sexualized content" is becoming a rallying cry for pro-education advocates.
"The Bible doesnt hold significant meaning for me," said. "The banned books, they do mean something to me."
Smith ascends to the presidency of a Democratic-led board after Republicans controlled it for two years. During that disastrous stretch, they banned two books and might have banned sixty more.
On top of that, the conservative radicals banned staff from advocating "partisan, political or social policy issues" to students, which in practice just means anything that Republicans don't like.
At the top of the stack of books Smith swore on was "Night," the Holocaust autobiography of Elie Wiesel.
"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation, Smith said. "Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
Also included in the pile was "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison, "Lily and Dunkin" by Donna Gephart, "All Boys Arent Blue" by George M. Johnson, "Flamer" by Mike Curato, and "Beyond Magenta" by Susan Kuklin.
Most infuriating to conservatives, Smith is a former Republican who abandoned the party because she believes its "lost its way."
She could not be any more right.
