Wilson Chapman editorA new release from Dave Chappelle titled “What’s in a Name?” dropped on Netflix Thursday, consisting of a speech in which the comedian addresses the backlash he’s faced for transphobic material in his standup.The 40-minute speech — which was released on Netflix without any prior announcement — took place at Chappelle’s alma mater, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C., during a planned ceremony to rename the school’s theater after him. The choice by the school was widely criticized due to Chappelle’s inclusion of jokes targeting the transgender community — particularly trans women — in his recent projects like 2021 standup special “The Closer.” Chappelle also had a combative Q&A with Duke Ellington students following the release of the special in November, during which many criticized him for failing to listen to the objections of the LGBTQ community regarding his material.
Mum slams ‘divisive’ sign banning children from using estate's play area
29.06.2022 - 20:09 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A mum has slammed a play area which can only be used by children on one housing estate. Becca Martin took her four-year-old son Charlie to the private playground last weekend, NorthWalesLive reports.
The play area is on the Fairways Estate off Holt Road, Wrexham, and features a sign informing her they were not allowed to enter as they live outside of the estate. The notice states: “The play areas and open spaces are for the exclusive use of the residents of the Fairways Estate and their invitees and no others.”
The sign is understood to have been put up by Holmzone Limited, a resident-controlled management company, which charges people who live on the estate an annual fee to pay for the park’s upkeep. Directors said it was justified due to the playground being privately owned and maintained.

But Cllr Martin said the sign sent out a negative message to children from families who can’t afford to live there that they aren’t worthy of using the play facilities. In a post shared on Facebook, she said: “I can’t even begin to explain how much this has angered and upset me. Every child deserves a safe space to play, regardless of where they live.
“I am aware residents pay a maintenance fee for the upkeep of the play area and open spaces, however that is not the issue here. The issue is that that sign enforces a feeling on my child that he’s not welcome in that area because we can’t afford the £300,000 needed to purchase a house there. What sort of example does that set to our children, the future of our country, our world?”
Cllr Martin said she believed the rule was unenforceable and would not deter her from taking her
