The New York Giants will make a change at quarterback in Week 12.The Giants will bench quarterback Daniel Jones, according to multiple reports.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMTommy DeVito is expected to get the start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ESPN reported.Giants general manager Joe Schoen did not appear ready to make the commitment last week when he spoke to reporters as the team had a bye week. However, with gameday getting closer, New York appeared to make the shift. It is unclear if it will be a one-off deal.”Yeah, in general, it’s not just — I understand the question, and you want to pull him out, but it’s everybody,” Schoen explained. “Everybody’s got a hand in this. I know being the quarterback and the offensive coordinator, head coach, people like to point to those guys in general. Daniel’s played some good games, and there are some games where he would look to have some throws back or do things differently. But, in general, it’s not one individual or one situation that keeps occurring, unfortunately. CHARGERS STAVE OFF BENGALS’ COMEBACK IN EPIC SUNDAY NIGHT THRILLER”We’re 2-8. everybody needs to, including myself, look in the mirror and [see] how can we do things better, and, again, that’s what we are going to continue to do. I understand you guys want to ask about Daniel, and it’s the quarterback position. That’s what comes with the territory, specifically in this market. Again, it’s not all on one person.”Jones has gone 3-13 in games he started since the team signed him to a four-year, $160 million extension before the start of last season, and there are many fans saying his time as a starter should be over.He has 2,070 passing yards and eight touchdown passes along with seven interceptions.New York is 2-8 this season. The team is dead last in points scored.Fox News’ Scott Thompson contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

FIRST ON FOX: The Boston Public School (BPS) system is facing a federal civil rights complaint after internal lesson plan documents were leaked showing the district was organizing racially segregated Whites-only programming for teachers and parents instructing them on how to be less racist. The parental rights advocacy group Parents Defending Education (PDE) filed a complaint last week with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Boston-area office after uncovering several internal district lesson plans and other documents showing BPS was operating racially-segregated “affinity groups” for teachers and parents. PDE argued in their complaint, obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital, that the White-only group instructing them to be less racist violated Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. “BPS appears to have affinity groups for staff that excludes certain races. There is at least one affinity group that is for ‘White Staff and Parents Challenging Racism,'” PDE’s complaint stated. HARVARD IDENTITY-BASED GRADUATIONS EXCLUDED JEWS IN NOW-DELETED WEBPAGE AS ANTISEMITISM CLAIMS PLAGUEAttached to the complaint were internal lesson plans and other curriculum materials geared toward White “affinity group” members, including a pilot curriculum for the “Mendell Affinity Group for White People Challenging Racism,” and a more general guide for the district’s “White School Leader Affinity Group[s]” that includes a mission statement, a list of norms and objectives, and several templates for activities that White-affinity group members can do to help them become less racist.”We aim to educate, support, and respectfully challenge one another as white people to face the historical and current realities of racism,” the mission statement reads.”If a district’s racially-segregated teacher support programs would earn a stamp of approval from the KKK, something has gone terribly wrong – and the fact that no administrators in the district seem to have opposed this programming raises additional red flags,” Nicole Neily, the president and founder of PDE, told Fox News Digital. “It’s not rocket science: including or excluding public school staff from opportunities on the basis of skin color is wrong.”In 2023, PDE first published its findings on BPS’ racially-segregated affinity groups. Meanwhile, the year prior, PDE successfully challenged race-based school programming in another top Massachusetts school district, a move that resulted in the cessation of affinity groups that segregated students by race.Federal guidance released by the Biden administration in 2023 stated that while schools could have candid discussions with students and faculty about race and racism, they likely could not create groups that exclude people on the basis of their race or ethnicity.    EDUCATION DEPT. TO INVESTIGATE RACIAL AFFINITY GROUPS AT NEW YORK CITY MIDDLE SCHOOL”Title VI generally requires schools to ensure that all their students, regardless of race, have an equal opportunity to participate in any educational programs and activities, including meetings, focus groups, and listening sessions,” the guidance states. “Restricting students’ participation based on their race would raise significant concerns and trigger strict scrutiny under [the Civil Rights Act].”Despite the federal guidance and empirical evidence that racially-segregated “affinity groups” can lead to legal action, BPS website continues to devote an entire page to district-wide “anti-racism resources,” including a section with a “Guidelines and Best Practices” document explaining why the district “needs” affinity groups “based on racial/ethnic identity.” Michele Exner, a senior adviser at PDE, told Fox News Digital that in addition to Massachusetts, she has seen these “affinity groups” pop up in other states across the country, including California, New York and North Carolina.”I think these sorts of programs start out well-intentioned, but the minute that you exclude a certain student or teacher solely based on race, that is absolutely wrong. It should not be happening,” Exner said.

The royal family has historically enjoyed trying food in the United States during their visits to the country, a new book reveals – and one meal in particular might have changed the course of history, according to its author.In his new book “Cooking & the Crown: Royal Recipes from Queen Victoria to King Charles III,” Tom Parker Bowles details the food-related adventures of the royal family over the last two centuries.Parker Bowles, son of Queen Camilla, is an award-winning food writer and restaurant critic. ‘PASTA QUEEN’ FOOD LOVER REVEALS DRAMATIC JOURNEY TO CHEF, MOM AND AUTHOR”I think when the monarchs travel, they try all the food,” Parker Bowles told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview from his hotel room in New York City. (See the video at the top of this article.)”Why wouldn’t you, if you come to America? It’s got some of the greatest regional food in the world,” he said. Perhaps the most consequential American dish consumed by a British royal were the hot dogs shared by King George VI and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Parker Bowles told Fox News Digital.The two dined on the American classic in Hyde Park, New York, in June 1939, Parker Bowles wrote in his book. “The King and Queen found themselves sitting on folding chairs at Hyde Park, eating hot dogs served on silver platters,” he wrote. “The King seemed a little nonplussed. ‘What should I do?’ he asked the President. ‘Put it in your mouth and keep chewing until you finish it,’ came the smiling response.” After the hot dogs were consumed, however, talk turned to the growing threat of Nazi Germany. CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOG, ‘INTEGRAL’ TO WINDY CITY, IS SERVED WITH TOMATO, NOT KETCHUPAt the time, the thought of entering another war overseas was not popular, Parker Bowles said.”Then they went upstairs, and they talked” about the war, he said. “Really, it was the power of food. That’s what fascinates me – the power of food and something as humble as a hot dog,” said Parker Bowles.In those discussions, Roosevelt pledged his support to the British Atlantic convoys. The United States would eventually provide support to the United Kingdom and other Allied powers prior to its official entry into World War II in Dec. 1941. “If America hadn’t come into the Second World War, well, God only knows what would have happened,” said Parker Bowles. “So it was a very, very important hot dog, however you look at it.” Other visits to the United States were a lot less consequential in world history – but still had some surprising food moments. SURPRISING SECRETS OF THE PERFECT SANDWICH, FROM A COOKBOOK AUTHOR AND SOCIAL MEDIA STARDuring one visit to the United States, former President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy treated Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip to “a full sort of Californian Tex-Mex feast,” Parker Bowles said. “I wouldn’t have thought [Mexican food] was something that the late queen had seen a lot – you know, sort of enchiladas and refried beans,” he said. “Delicious food.” The Reagans maintained a friendship with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Parker Bowles noted, “united by their love of horses.” Prince Philip had another hobby that some may find surprising, noted Parker Bowles: grilling and barbecuing. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER”He was a great food lover and watched all the food TV programs and loved cookbooks and loved cooking,” Parker Bowles said.Prince Philip even went as far as to design his own grill, Parker Bowles said, calling it “a masterpiece.” The prince “created this incredible multi-level grill with different heat levels – he has a whole trailer that he’s designed to go behind the Land Rover,” he said. Mark Flanagan, the royal chef, thought highly of Prince Philip’s cooking skills as well, Parker Bowles said.For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle”[Flanagan] told me as well that [Prince Philip] would come through the kitchen and choose his own cuts and make his own marinades and was a really, really good chef,” Parker Bowles said.

It was a dark and stormy night when a video filmed from the cockpit of an airplane emerged on social media, showing the conditions pilots face when landing in heavy rain.”This was the day I learned that planes have wiper blades,” said TikToker @damailufta, who shared her front-row seat behind the pilots in the cockpit as their windshield wipers worked to clear the view for landing at Sola Airport in Stavanger, Norway.Mina Farmen Bertheussen, 30, who said she’s a Norwegian Airlines flight attendant based in Oslo, wasn’t working the night she filmed the video; she was a passenger on her own airline to visit family and requested a seat in the cockpit for part of the flight.HOT TRAVEL TREND HAS PEOPLE HUNTING FOR VINTAGE TREASURES ON VACATION”It was a short 40-minute flight, but it was raining so much,” Bertheussen told Fox News Digital. “It wasn’t really a bumpy flight. But I found it so interesting and wanted to film it because you couldn’t see anything.”The seldom-seen glimpse of what goes on inside the cockpit during rough weather bewildered viewers, and the video garnered more than 3.5 million views. “These guys are magicians,” someone commented. “Talk about trusting your instruments,” another viewer commented.As the plane approached for landing, the pilots can be heard counting down the number of meters the plane was from the ground, which Bertheussen says should debunk the idea that planes land on autopilot.AIRLINE PASSENGER SHARES PHOTO OF ‘RECLINED’ SEAT DEBACLE: ‘DUDE IS IN MY LAP'”You can actually hear it during the video,” she said. “Around 300 to 400 meters, you can hear a loud alarm. That’s them turning off the auto autopilot. So from there, they are completely flying the plane themselves. Autopilot is only used in certain conditions.”Many TikTok viewers appeared to be as amazed by the average-looking windshield wipers as well as the smooth landing in unfavorable conditions.”Those windshield wipers were fighting for their lives,” one person commented. “These wiper blades gave serious anxiety vibes,” someone else wrote.FLIGHT PASSENGERS ARE MAKING ‘THE GATE ESCAPE’ IN ATTEMPT TO AVOID ‘POOR AIRPORT EXPERIENCES'”Wipers stole the show,” another viewer commented.Bertheussen said her cockpit perspective confirmed what she already knew about the training and professionalism of the pilots.”You kind of get to see that they don’t only rely on their eyes,” she said. “They also rely on their [instruments] to land. The pilots are really in control. They know exactly what they are doing.”Flying during turbulent weather can be unnerving for passengers, but Bertheussen said, in her experience, there’s no reason to worry.”The video looks very dramatic, but they are in full control,” she said. “It wasn’t really dramatic at all. It’s normal for the pilots, and they have a lot of training. It’s the same for us as flight attendants. When it’s bumpy or when there’s turbulence, we’re not scared because we have training, and we know what is safe.” For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.This isn’t the first time Bertheussen has offered a unique, behind-the-scenes view of a job most people will never experience first-hand.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, she made a career as a crane operator and posted a video of herself working in a small, glass-enclosed cabin high above a city.”When you show a video from this kind of job, it’s something people don’t see as much, or they don’t know what’s going on in there,” she said. “So it was probably interesting for people to see.”Fox News Digital reached out to Norwegian Airlines for comment.
