ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo made a controversial claim on The View, suggesting that under President Donald Trump’s administration, “old, white men” are “the only ones who are allowed to be felons.” Her remarks came during a discussion about judgment and empathy in society.
Washington Democrats, led by Representative Tarra Simmons (D-Bremerton), an ex-convict, are proposing legislation that would permit convicted felons to volunteer in public schools. This initiative comes after Democratic lawmakers recently rejected an amendment requiring schools to notify parents if their child was a victim of sexual assault.
