Officials say five people, including four children, were killed when a house exploded in a small community outside of Philadelphia on Friday.

The children –  ages eight to 18 – died alongside a 67-year-old woman, local station WPVI reports. Two other individuals were injured in the blast, which occurred in the town of Pottstown. 

Authorities are still investigating the source of the explosion. The inquiry will reportedly last “for some time,” the news network said. 

The neighborhood in which the blast occurred reportedly offers gas lines for home hookups, though it is not known if that was the source of the explosion.

Menstrual Irregularities, Uterus Shedding Cases Spike After COVID Vaccine Rollout: Peer-Reviewed Study

The first of three peer-reviewed research studies on women who suffered menstrual irregularities or a decidual cast around the time COVID vaccines were rolled out begins to shed light on the sudden spike of this historically rare gynecological abnormality.

A decidual cast is when the inside lining of the uterus (endometrium) is shed intact, the entire lining is shed in one piece.

“What a decidual cast is is the sloughing off of the entire inside of the uterus all at once, generally preceded by several days of intense cramping as the uterus contracts. So what is passed is a ‘cast’ of the inside of the uterus,” Dr. Christiane Northrup, a co-author of the study.

Across-ideological coalition is backing a devout Christian teacher who was fired by a Virginia school district for using a student's preferred name but not gender pronouns.

Family physicians with public health backgrounds, religious groups, radical feminists, former federal education officials and the state's attorney general filed friend-of-the-court briefs with the Virginia Supreme Court, which is considering whether its own free-exercise clause is stronger than the First Amendment's.

The West Point School Board fired French teacher Peter Vlaming for not "expressing personal agreement with the government's viewpoint on an issue of public concern," his opening brief says.

Residents may "maintain their opinions in matters of religion" without diminishing "their civil capacities" under the Virginia Constitution, which the high court should interpret as more protective than the U.S. Constitution, Vlaming's lawyers at the Alliance Defending Freedom wrote.

Two years ago, Virginia's first transgender lawmaker invoked Vlaming's student "James' in a "fiery" Assembly speech in favor of a gender-identity bill that became law, the Virginia Mercury reported.

Democratic Del. Danica Roem, the subject of a glowing Washingtonian profile last month, blasted "discriminatory politicians" like Republican Del. Dave LaRock, who said Vlaming was a victim of policies "used to punish anyone who does not agree with the ideology of the day."

The Virginia legal effort is a parallel to the hot streak educators have recently enjoyed in federal courts on First Amendment rights versus so-called "gender-affirming" school policies.

Multiple briefs noted the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Shawnee State University violated Nicholas Meriwether's rights by threatening to fire him for refusing to use a student's preferred pronouns even while using the student's preferred name. He got a $400,000 settlement this spring.

Earlier this month, a federal court in Kansas ruled Geary County Schools cannot discipline a teacher for telling parents about their children's secret gender identities at school. 

U.S. District Judge Holly Teeter blocked its gag-order policy, finding the district unconstitutionally "intended to interfere with the parents' exercise of a constitutional right to raise their children as they see fit" and justified the policy based on a misreading of federal student privacy law.

Gender-affirmation policies are "based on ideologically driven premises lacking sound scientific evidence and contrary to the best interests of children," said the brief by doctors led by Quentin Van Meter, president of the American College of Pediatricians, which has questioned the clinical basis for transgender youth interventions.

These policies encourage children and their families to see medical and surgical interventions as "desirable" without communicating the "irreversible effects … and the harms they pose to developing bodies," they wrote.

Van Meter described his impression of U.S. transgender clinic pioneer Norman Spack's presentation at a joint meeting of the Pediatric Endocrine Society and the European Endocrine Society in 2009.

Spack represented "a regression" to the methods of Van Meter's onetime Johns Hopkins colleague, sexologist John Money, whose 1970s experiments on infants, toddlers and adults "failed miserably" and "today would be grounds for conviction of sexual abuse," the brief says.

The district's policy exceeds even the recommendations of the Endocrine Society and World Professional Association of Transgender Health, "which are purportedly the source for the policy requiring immediate affirmation," they wrote. 

Former Department of Education Deputy Assistant Secretary Adam Kissel and Office for Civil Rights lawyer Hans Bader, who worked on First Amendment and Title IX issues respectively, said the district had also misread regulatory standards and case law to justify its policy.

Courts have ruled out "hostile environment" or Title IX violations for "conduct far more severe and pervasive," Kissel and Bader wrote. "Vlaming treated Doe in a polite manner at all times," and refusing to use preferred pronouns is "not a denial of educational access," according to their brief. 

Even if his speech "could be prohibited by a more narrowly drawn policy," Vlaming's rights would have been violated, the Trump administration veterans told the court.

The state's 15-year-old Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), signed by then-Gov. Tim Kaine (D), also protects Vlaming against compelled speech, Attorney General Jason Miyares wrote.
