sunshine, friday for military day, oh, the pressure is on it, looks like we will see some clouds, but hopefully no showers. high of 82, and it looks good, headed into the weekend, with sunshine and highs in the 80s each day. so that's your weather authority forecast. we will have frankford avenue, in fact, toss to bob kelly i thought of doing your traffic report. that's very busy, look, they have the electric buses, here on frankford avenue. covered of looks like a trolley bob kelly because it has the overhead wire there. but tells me it is an electric bus, isn't that cool? >> look at you, very observe and the. that's the old 56 bus there, that takes the student to and from -- from the frankford transportation center. philly pretzel factory right across the street, bring back bag on your way. live look, gang, the westbound schuylkill schuylkill, accident approaching king of prussia. one of the two vehicles overturned, getting put up on the flatbed there. but, we are back up from pretty much approaching conshohocken, as you can see here, all the way out, to the scenes.

>> coming up 35:00. the school district of philadelphia is facing a federal class action lawsuit. >> this is interesting. some female lacrosse players are claiming that they've been discriminated. this gets little complicatedment break it down for us. >> well, specifically, right now, just one player, a 2017 strawberry mansion high school graduate, black female, the face right now, the class action lawsuit, for lots of girls, likely, to join, who play what they call the traditional white sports of lacrosse and field hockey. her name is nadir mccrea, weaver video of her in action here, and in the suit, says, when those sports were first introduced at her school back in 2015, she fell in love with the new sport and experienced because of the sport much improved grades. for the first time in her life saw path to college but in her senior year saw that path cut

off when not able to claim her division one scholarship to the university of hartford because the philadelphia school district keeps girls of color from playing anyone but other mostly black high schools. >> it made me feel that like we weren't good enough to play lacrosse because we were discouraged so many times from not playing. and like not being noticed for like the great potential that we have, even though probably weren't great, didn't get the long time training that other female lacrosse players got. i feel like we were still good enough to be able to play. >> we face many obstacles. games canceled, buses canceled, playing the same teams over and over again, which i then deem the negro league based upon only playing girls of color, the three teams that were in the public league defemation we were participating in. >> the key people are cultured to think that these girls don't have these real opportunities won't be able to

handle these kinds of opportunity, therefore, don't put the effort into supporting these girls in taking advantage every these opportunities. that is in effect racial discrimination. >> no surprise, school district obviously disagrees, put out a statementment one of the core values as a district is increasing opportunity in the classroom and on the playing field for all of our student regardless every race or gender. we work every day to ensure equity across the district in that every child is given the opportunity to succeed. and last year, it point out, they had more than 250 female student athletes participating in 20 of our school teams and field hockey and girls lacrosse, and bee continue to promote all sports within the philadelphia public league. so, this one will be decided in the courts it looks like, don't be surprised if nadira gets joined by a lot of other girls who feel the same way. alex, mike? >> interesting, she will be in our studio in just a little bit, thanks, steve.

>> if this city continues -- as philadelphia continues to debate whether we should move the frank rizzo statue or not, the city culture arts program installed a new piece of art right next to the statue. >> i have to clarify, from what i've been reading this was not in direct response to the discussions about the frank rizzo statue that happened about a month ago, after charlottesville, when there were some rallies, protests in that city surrounding monument, this, i hear, was already in the works. it was dream up about a year ago. so, the hope is to explore the question, what is an appropriate monument for the city of philadelphia? welshing the artist here, used a pick to depict his feelings and answers to that question. the artist says the pick exists today as many things to many people, for some, it is a political emblem, and for other, it is a signature of collective identity. some still wear it now, as an

adornment like phillies own quest, see him in some pictures all the time, if you don't know who he is, he is one half of grammy award running group the roots, right out of philadelphia. and an instagram post, the artist write it is an honor to have my work all power to all people 2017 in the city where my parent met. he goes onto encourage his followers to get to philly before november when this exhibit ends. but it won't end before it stirs up a lot of controversy, and maybe some conversations. that is the point of it all. the artist says his design is intend today highlight ideas related to communities, strength, perseverance un, resistance to oppression, exhibit protected by some barriers on all sides, maybe to avoid the same vandalism the rizzo statue saw when emotions flared up here about a month ago, and since that happened, philadelphia police officer had been keeping 24 hour guard of the monument, this morning, we've not seen one yet, but is it important to note, mike and alex, you know those calls of the community, to decide whether

the statue stays or goes, they asked people to send in entries and explain what they want to happen. that ends on friday, and then the arts commission will decide in about a month, yes, what happens with the future of frank rizzo. >> then the pick will end up in florida, permanent location. >> so just visiting for right now. >> so the paper today an article about it, cultural arts program, did decide to put it down by the rizzo statue on purpose. >> yes. so laura is talking about the fact the artist didn't have frank rizzo in mind. >> no. >> because it has been in the works for awhile, but the mural arts founder said she hopes all power to all people the name of the statue provides a counter balance to the rizzo statue and will hopefully open a dialogue between them. so were you right, mike, sound like -- >> she could have put anywhere. >> it was intentional. >> to create conversation, which is happening. >> it certainly is. so, let's see some of the comment you guys have been

doing. >> i think it is awful sends angry message, discuss me to the core of my being. and my first thought it was it is a great piece of art, i was wondering who the artist was. >> so, so many people had been weighing in. you can continue to weigh in, go to my instagram, alex holley tv or on facebook, taking some of the comment, and it is starting a conversation, in fact, someone just tweeted me, charlie brown said i think it is a great way to start one. >> charlie on. >> that's his name on twitter. >> oh, okay. >> the artist from new york though. >> lives up in new york. >> said, look, he had not been thinking about it, no where in his mind when he was working ton. >> long before the decision, the confederate statues, all of that. >> and the son of two noted philadelphia natives. >> yes, he has works all over the worm, at the gugenhaim in new york, whitney in new york,
