Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Kim. Today is Wednesday October 9, 2019.

And we begin with Ellen DeGeneres teaching the world a life lesson.

The comedian clapped back in the nicest way possible to those trolling

her for sitting and laughing with former President George W Bush at a football game

last weekend. On the surface they make an unlikely pair. Ms.

DeGeneres is very liberal. Mr. Bush is equally conservative. And while some

believe their differences mean they shouldn't spend time together, Miss DeGeneres thinks otherwise.

In a videotaped response to social media criticism, she said, I'm friends with George Bush.

In fact, I'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs that I have.

We're all different, and I think we've forgotten that it's okay that we're all different.

Just because I don't agree with someone on everything doesn't mean that I'm not going to be friends with them.

When I say be kind to one another, I don't mean only the people that think the same way you do.

I mean be kind to everyone.

It's nerve calming news for high school students and their parents.

The ACT College Entrance exam just announced three big changes.

First, students unhappy with their scores will be allowed to retake individual

sections rather than have to deja vu the whole thing again. Don't want to wait so long to see

how you did? The ACT has an answer for that too. It's rolling out an online

version at certain testing centers which means results will be available in days, not weeks.

And finally officials have bought into the benefits of super scoring.

Kids will now be able to combine section scores from different tests to create a more appealing

composite or total. The changes take effect with the September 2020 test date.
