She says that exploration is based on \"numerous requests from families,\" but that no decision has been made yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter follows what \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/24/us/girl-scouts-boy-scouts.html?module=WatchingPortal®ion=c-column-middle-span-region&pgType=Homepage&action=click&mediaId=thumb_square&state=standard&contentPlacement=3&version=internal&contentCollection=www.nytimes.com&contentId=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2017%2F08%2F24%2Fus%2Fgirl-scouts-boy-scouts.html&eventName=Watching-article-click\">The New York Times \u003c/a>characterizes as a \"tense phone conversation\" between executives of both organizations \"about possible substantial changes at the Boy Scouts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, Hopinkah Hannan said that Girl Scout leadership has tried to engage in an open dialogue with the Boy Scouts about the matter. She said she was disappointed to learn that the Boy Scouts have been \"surreptitiously testing the appeal of a girls' offering to millennial parents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Boy Scouts' Delimarkos told BuzzFeed that the organization has spent months trying to engage the Girl Scouts. \"We are disheartened to see the Girl Scouts pull away from the possibility of cooperation to help address the needs of today's busy families,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than a century, both the \u003ca href=\"http://www.scoutingnewsroom.org/about-the-bsa/at-a-glance/\">Boy Scouts\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.girlscouts.org/en/about-girl-scouts/who-we-are.html\">Girl Scouts\u003c/a> have operated as separate but similar organizations, seeking to train millions of young people to be leaders; to be brave, friendly and strong; and to honor \"God and country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since their founding, Hopinkah Hannan says the two organizations \"have worked in a respectful and complementary manner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she says the Boy Scouts' \"plan\" would only serve to \"undercut\" the Girl Scouts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last spring, reports began to emerge that the Boy Scouts had opened the door to the idea of bringing in girls. In May, Delimarkos \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/boy-scout-leaders-discuss-offering-more-opportunities-girls-n754541\">told NBC News\u003c/a> that leaders were discussing how \"to meet the needs of today's families, which include dual earners and single-parent households.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the Boy Scouts \u003ca href=\"http://www.scoutingnewsroom.org/about-the-bsa/fact-sheets/overview-of-boy-scouts-of-america/\">already offer\u003c/a> several co-ed programs and have for years. They include Venturing and Exploring, which bring activities and career training to boys and girls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopinkah Hannan said a co-ed model goes against \"research supporting single-gender programming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Delimarkos maintains that \"The Boy Scouts of America believes in the benefit of single-gender programs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To what extent the Boy Scouts intend to welcome girls remains unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been a time of change for the group. In January the Boy Scouts \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/31/512541372/boy-scouts-will-admit-transgender-boys\">announced\u003c/a> the organization will accept transgender boys.

In May, Delimarkos \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/boy-scout-leaders-discuss-offering-more-opportunities-girls-n754541\">told NBC News\u003c/a> that leaders were discussing how \"to meet the needs of today's families, which include dual earners and single-parent households.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the Boy Scouts \u003ca href=\"http://www.scoutingnewsroom.org/about-the-bsa/fact-sheets/overview-of-boy-scouts-of-america/\">already offer\u003c/a> several co-ed programs and have for years.

In January the Boy Scouts \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/31/512541372/boy-scouts-will-admit-transgender-boys\">announced\u003c/a> the organization will accept transgender boys.

Now we're going to take down his statue. So you know what, it's fine. You're changing history, you're changing culture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gathering of white nationalists over the weekend in Charlottesville resulted in multiple injuries and the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, who was killed after a car rammed into a group of counterprotesters. The suspect \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/14/543414086/charlottesville-suspect-to-remain-in-jail-after-first-court-appearance\">has been denied bond\u003c/a> and charged with second-degree murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said he hadn't called Heyer's family yet but that he would soon.

Not make a quick statement,\" the president said. \"The statement I made on Saturday, the first statement, was a fine statement. But you don't make statements that direct unless you know the facts. It takes a little while to get the facts. You still don't know the facts. And it's a very, very important process to me. ... I want to know the facts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in the past Trump has rarely shown restraint when responding to tragedies like the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, when he \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/742034549232766976?lang=en\">tweeted\u003c/a> \"Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism,\" and terrorist attacks in London earlier this year, when he \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/871328428963901440?lang=en\">criticized\u003c/a> the city's mayor's response. Back in 2011, he began peddling the false birther conspiracy against former President Barack Obama, at one point tweeting that \"An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud\" He has made plenty of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/27/511216062/president-trumps-tweets-annotated\">false\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/27/521441490/fact-check-trump-says-obamacare-is-exploding-its-not\">statements\u003c/a> just since entering the Oval Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the press conference, former KKK grand wizard David Duke \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DrDavidDuke/status/897559892164304896\">thanked the president\u003c/a> on Twitter for his \"honesty and courage\" and for being willing to \"condemn\" Black Lives Matter and anti-fascists (whom Trump did not name).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/DrDavidDuke/status/897559892164304896\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump faced widespread criticism for what was seen as an insufficient statement about the events on Saturday. Seeming to bow to those critiques on Monday, he delivered a new statement and placed blame on white supremacist groups. But after his apparent walkback on Tuesday, some GOP leaders spoke out again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We must be clear. White supremacy is repulsive. This bigotry is counter to all this country stands for. There can be no moral ambiguity,\" House Speaker Paul Ryan \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SpeakerRyan/status/897579093184610305\">tweeted\u003c/a>, apparently in reference to Trump's remarks, although he didn't mention the president by name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't understand what's so hard about this. White supremacists and Neo-Nazis are evil and shouldn't be defended,\" National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Steve Stivers, R-Ohio, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RepSteveStivers/status/897586719045947392\">tweeted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said on CNN that he \"tried to give [Trump] the benefit of the doubt, for just saying the words yesterday. But he just couldn't move on. I think the residents of Charlottesville will be extremely disappointed but not surprised.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbOr0WlA4SI\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Read a transcript of the president remarks: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Hello everybody. Great to be back in New York with all of our friends and some great friends outside the building, I must tell you. I want to thank all of our distinguished guests who are with us today, including members of our cabinet, treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, OMB director Mick Mulvaney and of course our transportation secretary, who is doing a fabulous, job Elaine Chao. Thank you all for doing a really incredible and creative job on what we're going to be discussing today, which is infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've just had a great set of briefings upstairs on our infrastructure agenda. My administration is working every day to deliver the world class infrastructure that our people deserve and frankly, that our country deserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why I just signed a new executive order to dramatically reform the nation's badly broken infrastructure permitting process. Just blocks away is the Empire State Building. It took 11 months to build the Empire State Building. But today it could take as long as a decade and much more than that. Many many stores where it takes 20 and 25 years just to get approvals to start construction of a fairly routine highway. Highway builders must get up to 16 different approvals involving nine different federal agencies, governed by 29 different statutes. One agency alone can stall a project for many many years and even decades. Not only does this cost economy billions of dollars but it also denies our citizens the safe and modern infrastructure they deserve. This overregulated permitting process is a massive self-inflicted wound on our country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's disgraceful. Denying our people much needed investments in their community and I just want to show you this, because it was just shown [to] me and I [said], I think I'm going to show it to the media, both real and fake media. by the way. This is what it takes to get something approved today. Elaine, you see that? So this is what it takes — permitting process flowchart. That's a flowchart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that can go out to 20 years, this shows about 10. But that could go out to about 20 years to get something approved. This is for a highway. I've seen a highway recently in a certain state, I won't mention its name, it's 17 years. I could have built it for four or five million dollars without the permitting process. It cost hundreds of millions of dollars but it took 17 years to get it approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And many many many many pages of environmental impact studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is what we will bring it down to. This is less than two years. This is going to happen quickly. That's what I'm signing today. This will be less than two years for a highway. So it's going to be quick. It's going to be a very streamlined process. And by the way, if it doesn't meet environmental safeguards, we're not going to approve it. Very simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're not going to approve it. So maybe this one will say ... let's throw the other one away. Would anybody like it from the media? Would anybody like that long beautiful chart? You can have it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So my executive order also requires agencies to work together efficiently by requiring one lead agency for each major infrastructure project. It also holds agencies accountable if they fail to streamline their review process. So each agency is accountable. We're going to get infrastructure built quickly, inexpensively, relatively speaking, and the permitting process will go very very quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No longer will we tolerate one job killing delay after another. No longer will we accept a broken system that benefits consultants and lobbyists at the expense of hardworking Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now I knew the process very well, probably better than anybody. I had to get permits for this building and many of the buildings I built — all of the buildings I built in Manhattan and many other places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I will tell you that the consultants are rich people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They go around making it very difficult. They lobby Congress, they lobby state governments, city governments, to make it very difficult so that you have to hire consultants and that you have to take years and pay them a fortune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we're streamlining the process had we won't be having so much of that anymore. No longer will we allow the infrastructure of our magnificent country to crumble and decay. While protecting the environment, we will build gleaming new roads, bridges, railways, waterways, tunnels and highways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will rebuild our country with American workers, American iron, American aluminum, American steel. We will create millions of new jobs and make millions of American dreams come true. Our infrastructure will again be the best in the world. We used to have the greatest infrastructure anywhere in the world. And today we're like a third world country. We are literally like a third world country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our infrastructure will again be the best and we will restore the pride in our communities, our nation, and all over the United States we'll be proud again. So I want to thank everybody for being here. God bless you. God bless the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you have any questions, we have — Mick, you could come up here please. Come on up. Mick Mulvaney. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Why do you think these CEOs are leaving your manufacturing council?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Because they're not taking their job seriously as it pertains to this country. We want jobs, manufacturing in this country. If you look at some of those people that you're talking about, they're outside of the country, they're having a lot of their product made outside. If you look at Merck as an example, take a look where, excuse me. Excuse me. Take a look at where their product is made. It's made outside of our country. We want products made in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now I have to tell you, some of the folks that will leave, they're leaving out of embarrassment because they make their products outside. And I've been lecturing them, including the gentleman that you're referring to, about you have to bring it back to this country. You can't do it necessarily in Ireland and all of these other places, you have to bring this work back to this country. That's what I want. I want manufacturing to be back into the United States so that American workers can benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Why did you wait so long to blast Neo Nazis?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I didn't wait long. I didn't wait long. I didn't wait long. I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct. Not make a quick statement. The statement I made on Saturday, the first statement, was a fine statement. But you don't make statements that direct unless you know the fact. It takes a little while to get the facts. You still don't know the facts. And it's a very, very important process to me. And it's a very important statement. So I don't want to go quickly and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement. I want to know the facts —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you go back to my ... in fact, I brought it. I brought it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I said on, remember this, on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America. And then I went on from there. Now here's the thing --\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excuse me. Excuse me. Take it nice and easy. Here's the thing. When I make a statement, I like to be correct. I want the facts. This event just happened. In fact, a lot of the event didn't even happen yet, as we were speaking. This event just happened. Before I make a statement, I need the facts. So I don't want to rush into a statement. So making the statement when I made it was excellent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the young woman, who I hear is a fantastic young woman, and it was on NBC, her mother wrote me and said through, I guess Twitter, social media, the nicest things. And I very much appreciated that. I hear she was a fine, really actually an incredible young woman. But her mother on Twitter thanked me for what I said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And honestly, if the press were not fake, and if it was honest, the press would have said what I said was very nice. But unlike you —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unlike you and unlike the media, before I make a statement, I like to know the facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: The CEO of Wal Mart said you missed a critical opportunity to help bring the country together. Did you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Not at all. I think the country, look, you take a look, I've created over a million jobs since I'm president, the country is booming, the stock market is setting records, we have the highest employment numbers we've ever had in the history of our country, we're doing record business. We have the highest levels of enthusiasm. So the head of Wal Mart — who I know, who is very nice guy – was making a political statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... I want to make sure, when I make a statement, that the statement is correct. And there was no way, there was no way of making a correct statement that early. I had to see the facts, unlike a lot of REPORTERs. Unlike a lot of REPORTERs -\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't know David Duke was there. I wanted to see the facts. And the facts as they started coming out were very well stated. In fact, everybody said, his statement was beautiful, if he would have made it sooner, that would have been good. I couldn't have made it sooner because I didn't know all of the facts. Frankly, people still don't know all of the facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excuse me. Excuse me. It was very important to me to get the facts out and correctly. Because if I would have made a fast statement, and the first statement was made without knowing much other than what we were seeing. The second statement was made after, with knowledge, with great knowledge. There's still things. Excuse me. There's still things that people don't know. I want to make a statement with knowledge. I wanted to know the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Was this terrorism?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: The driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family and this country. And that is, you can call it terrorism, you can call it murder, you can call it whatever you want. I would just call it as the fastest one to come up with a good verdict. That's what I'd call it. Because there is a question: Is it murder, is it terrorism? And then you get into legal semantics. The driver of the car is a murderer and what he did was a horrible, horrible, inexcusable thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Do you still have confidence in Steve Bannon?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Look, look. I like Mr. Bannon. He's a friend of mine. But, Mr. Bannon came on very late, you know that. I went through 17 senators, governors and I won all the primaries. Mr. Bannon came on very much later than that. And I like him, he's a good man, he is not a racist, I can tell you that. He's a good person. He actually gets a very unfair press in that regard. But we'll see what happens with Mr. Bannon but he's a good person and I think the press treats him frankly very unfairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<Reporter and Trump crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Senator McCain has called on you to defend your national security advisor H. R. McMaster against some of these attacks —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I've already done that. I did it the last time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: And he called on it again —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Senator McCain? Senator McCain? You mean the one who voted against Obamacare? Who is Senator? You mean Senator McCain who voted against us getting good health care?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Senator McCain said that the alt right is behind these attacks and he linked that same group to those who perpetrated the attack in Charlottesville —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I don't know. I can't tell you. I'm sure Senator McCain must know what he's talking about. But when you say the alt right, define alt right to me. You define it. No you define it for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Sen. McCain defined them as —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Ok what about the alt left that came charging — excuse me. What about the alt left that came charging at the, as you say, the alt right? Do they have any semblance of guilt? Let me ask you this, what about the fact they came charging, that they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do. As far as I'm concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day. Wait a minute, I'm not finished. I'm not finished, fake news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a horrible day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I will tell you something. I watched those very closely. Much more closely than you people watched it. And you have, you had a group on one side that was bad. And you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that. But I'll say it right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You had a group, you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very, very violent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Do you think that what you call the alt left is the same as neo Nazis?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: All of those people — excuse me. I've condemned neo Nazis. I've condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists, by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E. Lee. So. Excuse me. And you take a look at some of the groups, and you see and you'd know it if you were honest REPORTERs, which in many cases you're not, but many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, this week it's Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson's coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they were there to protest, excuse me, you take a look the night before, they were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. Infrastructure question, go ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Should statues of Robert E. Lee stay up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I would say that's up to a local town, community or the federal government depending on where it is located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: ... race relations in America and do you think things have gotten worse or better since you took office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I think they've gotten better or the same. Look, they've been frayed for a long time. And you can ask President Obama about that because he'd make speeches about it. But I believe that the fact that I brought in, it will be soon, millions of jobs, you see where companies are moving back into our country, I think that's going to have a tremendous positive impact on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have companies coming back into our country. We have two car companies that just announced, we have FoxConn in Wisconsin just announced. We have many companies, I say pouring back into the country. I think that's going to have a huge, positive impact on race relations. You know why? It's jobs. What people want now, they want jobs. They want great jobs with good pay. And when they have that, you watch how race relations will be. And I'll tell you, we're spending a lot of money on the inner cities. We're fixing the inner cities. We're doing far more than anybody's done with respect to the inner cities. It's a priority for me. And it's very important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Are you putting what you're calling the alt left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I'm not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I'm saying is this. You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other and they came at each other with clubs and it was viscous and it was horrible and it was a horrible thing to watch. But there is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left, you've just called them the left, that came, violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that's the way it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: You said there was hatred and violence on both sides —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I do think there's blame, yes, I think there's blame on both sides. You look at both sides. I think there's blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it. And you don't have any doubt about it either. And, and if you reported it accurately, you would say it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Excuse me. You had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group, excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park, from Robert E. Lee to another name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Washington was a slave-owner. Was George Washington a slave-owner? So will George Washington now lose his status — are we going to take down — excuse me. Are we going to take down statues of George Washington? How 'bout Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him? OK, good. Are we going to take down the statue because he was a major slave-owner? Now we're going to take down his statue. So you know what, it's fine. You're changing history, you're changing culture. And you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo Nazis or the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo Nazis and white nationalists, OK? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats. You got a lot of bad people in the other group, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: You said the press has treated white nationalists unfairly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: No. There were people in that rally, and I looked the night before, if you look, they were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. I'm sure in that group there were some bad ones. The following day it looked like they had some rough, bad people. Neo Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them. But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest and very legally protest. Because I don't know if you know, they had a permit. The other group didn't have a permit. So I only tell you this, there are two sides to a story. I thought what took place was a horrible moment for our country. A horrible moment. But there are two sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Does anybody have a final —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: What makes you think you can get an infrastructure bill, you didn't get health care –\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, you know, I'll tell you. We came very close with health care. Unfortunately, John McCain decided to vote against it at the last minute. You'll have to ask John McCain why he did that. But we came very close to health care. We will end up getting health care but we'll get the infrastructure and actually infrastructure is something that I think will have bipartisan support on. I actually think Democrats will go along with the infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Have you spoken to the family of the victim of the car attack?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: No, I'll be reaching out. I'll be reaching out. I was very, I thought that the statement put out — the mother's statement — I thought was a beautiful statement. I will tell you, it was something that I really appreciated. I thought it was terrific and really under the kind of stress that she's under and the heartache that she's under, I thought putting out that statement to me was really something I won't forget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you all very much. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<side conversation with reporters>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Will you go to Charlottesville?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I own a house in Charlottesville. Does anyone know I own a house in Charlottesville?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Where is it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Oh boy. It's in Charlottesville, you'll see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Is it near the winery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: It is the winery. I mean, I know a lot about Charlottesville. Charlottesville is a great place. It's been very badly hurt over the last couple of days. I own actually one of the largest wineries in the United States. It's in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: What do you think needs to be done to overcome the racial divide?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I really think jobs going to have a big impact. I think if we continue to create jobs — over a million, substantially more than a million — and you see just the other day the car companies coming in, I think if we continue to create jobs at levels that I'm creating jobs, I think that's going to have a tremendous impact, a positive impact, on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Because the people are going to be working, they're going to be making a lot of money, much more money than they ever thought possible. And the other thing, very important, I believe wages will start going up. They haven't gone up for a long time. I believe wages now, because the economy is doing so well with respect to employment and unemployment, I believe wages will start to go up. I think that will have a tremendously positive impact on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Great to be back in New York with all of our friends and some great friends outside the building, I must tell you. I want to thank all of our distinguished guests who are with us today, including members of our cabinet, treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, OMB director Mick Mulvaney and of course our transportation secretary, who is doing a fabulous, job Elaine Chao. Thank you all for doing a really incredible and creative job on what we're going to be discussing today, which is infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've just had a great set of briefings upstairs on our infrastructure agenda. My administration is working every day to deliver the world class infrastructure that our people deserve and frankly, that our country deserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why I just signed a new executive order to dramatically reform the nation's badly broken infrastructure permitting process. Just blocks away is the Empire State Building. It took 11 months to build the Empire State Building. But today it could take as long as a decade and much more than that. Many many stores where it takes 20 and 25 years just to get approvals to start construction of a fairly routine highway. Highway builders must get up to 16 different approvals involving nine different federal agencies, governed by 29 different statutes. One agency alone can stall a project for many many years and even decades. Not only does this cost economy billions of dollars but it also denies our citizens the safe and modern infrastructure they deserve. This overregulated permitting process is a massive self-inflicted wound on our country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's disgraceful. Denying our people much needed investments in their community and I just want to show you this, because it was just shown [to] me and I [said], I think I'm going to show it to the media, both real and fake media. by the way. This is what it takes to get something approved today. Elaine, you see that? So this is what it takes — permitting process flowchart. That's a flowchart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that can go out to 20 years, this shows about 10. But that could go out to about 20 years to get something approved. This is for a highway. I've seen a highway recently in a certain state, I won't mention its name, it's 17 years. I could have built it for four or five million dollars without the permitting process. It cost hundreds of millions of dollars but it took 17 years to get it approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And many many many many pages of environmental impact studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is what we will bring it down to. This is less than two years. This is going to happen quickly. That's what I'm signing today. This will be less than two years for a highway. So it's going to be quick. It's going to be a very streamlined process. And by the way, if it doesn't meet environmental safeguards, we're not going to approve it. Very simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're not going to approve it. So maybe this one will say ... let's throw the other one away. Would anybody like it from the media? Would anybody like that long beautiful chart? You can have it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So my executive order also requires agencies to work together efficiently by requiring one lead agency for each major infrastructure project. It also holds agencies accountable if they fail to streamline their review process. So each agency is accountable. We're going to get infrastructure built quickly, inexpensively, relatively speaking, and the permitting process will go very very quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No longer will we tolerate one job killing delay after another. No longer will we accept a broken system that benefits consultants and lobbyists at the expense of hardworking Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now I knew the process very well, probably better than anybody. I had to get permits for this building and many of the buildings I built — all of the buildings I built in Manhattan and many other places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I will tell you that the consultants are rich people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They go around making it very difficult. They lobby Congress, they lobby state governments, city governments, to make it very difficult so that you have to hire consultants and that you have to take years and pay them a fortune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we're streamlining the process had we won't be having so much of that anymore. No longer will we allow the infrastructure of our magnificent country to crumble and decay. While protecting the environment, we will build gleaming new roads, bridges, railways, waterways, tunnels and highways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will rebuild our country with American workers, American iron, American aluminum, American steel. We will create millions of new jobs and make millions of American dreams come true. Our infrastructure will again be the best in the world. We used to have the greatest infrastructure anywhere in the world. And today we're like a third world country. We are literally like a third world country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our infrastructure will again be the best and we will restore the pride in our communities, our nation, and all over the United States we'll be proud again. So I want to thank everybody for being here. God bless you. God bless the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you have any questions, we have — Mick, you could come up here please. Come on up. Mick Mulvaney. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Why do you think these CEOs are leaving your manufacturing council?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Because they're not taking their job seriously as it pertains to this country. We want jobs, manufacturing in this country. If you look at some of those people that you're talking about, they're outside of the country, they're having a lot of their product made outside. If you look at Merck as an example, take a look where, excuse me. Excuse me. Take a look at where their product is made. It's made outside of our country. We want products made in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now I have to tell you, some of the folks that will leave, they're leaving out of embarrassment because they make their products outside. And I've been lecturing them, including the gentleman that you're referring to, about you have to bring it back to this country. You can't do it necessarily in Ireland and all of these other places, you have to bring this work back to this country. That's what I want. I want manufacturing to be back into the United States so that American workers can benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Why did you wait so long to blast Neo Nazis?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I didn't wait long. I didn't wait long. I didn't wait long. I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct. Not make a quick statement. The statement I made on Saturday, the first statement, was a fine statement. But you don't make statements that direct unless you know the fact. It takes a little while to get the facts. You still don't know the facts. And it's a very, very important process to me. And it's a very important statement. So I don't want to go quickly and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement. I want to know the facts —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you go back to my ... in fact, I brought it. I brought it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I said on, remember this, on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America. And then I went on from there. Now here's the thing --\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excuse me. Excuse me. Take it nice and easy. Here's the thing. When I make a statement, I like to be correct. I want the facts. This event just happened. In fact, a lot of the event didn't even happen yet, as we were speaking. This event just happened. Before I make a statement, I need the facts. So I don't want to rush into a statement. So making the statement when I made it was excellent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the young woman, who I hear is a fantastic young woman, and it was on NBC, her mother wrote me and said through, I guess Twitter, social media, the nicest things. And I very much appreciated that. I hear she was a fine, really actually an incredible young woman. But her mother on Twitter thanked me for what I said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And honestly, if the press were not fake, and if it was honest, the press would have said what I said was very nice. But unlike you —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unlike you and unlike the media, before I make a statement, I like to know the facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: The CEO of Wal Mart said you missed a critical opportunity to help bring the country together. Did you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Not at all. I think the country, look, you take a look, I've created over a million jobs since I'm president, the country is booming, the stock market is setting records, we have the highest employment numbers we've ever had in the history of our country, we're doing record business. We have the highest levels of enthusiasm. So the head of Wal Mart — who I know, who is very nice guy – was making a political statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... I want to make sure, when I make a statement, that the statement is correct. And there was no way, there was no way of making a correct statement that early. I had to see the facts, unlike a lot of REPORTERs. Unlike a lot of REPORTERs -\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't know David Duke was there. I wanted to see the facts. And the facts as they started coming out were very well stated. In fact, everybody said, his statement was beautiful, if he would have made it sooner, that would have been good. I couldn't have made it sooner because I didn't know all of the facts. Frankly, people still don't know all of the facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excuse me. Excuse me. It was very important to me to get the facts out and correctly. Because if I would have made a fast statement, and the first statement was made without knowing much other than what we were seeing. The second statement was made after, with knowledge, with great knowledge. There's still things. Excuse me. There's still things that people don't know. I want to make a statement with knowledge. I wanted to know the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Was this terrorism?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: The driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family and this country. And that is, you can call it terrorism, you can call it murder, you can call it whatever you want. I would just call it as the fastest one to come up with a good verdict. That's what I'd call it. Because there is a question: Is it murder, is it terrorism? And then you get into legal semantics. The driver of the car is a murderer and what he did was a horrible, horrible, inexcusable thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Do you still have confidence in Steve Bannon?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Look, look. I like Mr. Bannon. He's a friend of mine. But, Mr. Bannon came on very late, you know that. I went through 17 senators, governors and I won all the primaries. Mr. Bannon came on very much later than that. And I like him, he's a good man, he is not a racist, I can tell you that. He's a good person. He actually gets a very unfair press in that regard. But we'll see what happens with Mr. Bannon but he's a good person and I think the press treats him frankly very unfairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<Reporter and Trump crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Senator McCain has called on you to defend your national security advisor H. R. McMaster against some of these attacks —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I've already done that. I did it the last time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: And he called on it again —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Senator McCain? Senator McCain? You mean the one who voted against Obamacare? Who is Senator? You mean Senator McCain who voted against us getting good health care?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Senator McCain said that the alt right is behind these attacks and he linked that same group to those who perpetrated the attack in Charlottesville —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I don't know. I can't tell you. I'm sure Senator McCain must know what he's talking about. But when you say the alt right, define alt right to me. You define it. No you define it for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Sen. McCain defined them as —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Ok what about the alt left that came charging — excuse me. What about the alt left that came charging at the, as you say, the alt right? Do they have any semblance of guilt? Let me ask you this, what about the fact they came charging, that they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do. As far as I'm concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day. Wait a minute, I'm not finished. I'm not finished, fake news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a horrible day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I will tell you something. I watched those very closely. Much more closely than you people watched it. And you have, you had a group on one side that was bad. And you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that. But I'll say it right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You had a group, you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very, very violent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Do you think that what you call the alt left is the same as neo Nazis?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: All of those people — excuse me. I've condemned neo Nazis. I've condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists, by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E. Lee. So. Excuse me. And you take a look at some of the groups, and you see and you'd know it if you were honest REPORTERs, which in many cases you're not, but many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, this week it's Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson's coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they were there to protest, excuse me, you take a look the night before, they were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. Infrastructure question, go ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Should statues of Robert E. Lee stay up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I would say that's up to a local town, community or the federal government depending on where it is located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: ... race relations in America and do you think things have gotten worse or better since you took office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I think they've gotten better or the same. Look, they've been frayed for a long time. And you can ask President Obama about that because he'd make speeches about it. But I believe that the fact that I brought in, it will be soon, millions of jobs, you see where companies are moving back into our country, I think that's going to have a tremendous positive impact on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have companies coming back into our country. We have two car companies that just announced, we have FoxConn in Wisconsin just announced. We have many companies, I say pouring back into the country. I think that's going to have a huge, positive impact on race relations. You know why? It's jobs. What people want now, they want jobs. They want great jobs with good pay. And when they have that, you watch how race relations will be. And I'll tell you, we're spending a lot of money on the inner cities. We're fixing the inner cities. We're doing far more than anybody's done with respect to the inner cities. It's a priority for me. And it's very important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Are you putting what you're calling the alt left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I'm not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I'm saying is this. You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other and they came at each other with clubs and it was viscous and it was horrible and it was a horrible thing to watch. But there is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left, you've just called them the left, that came, violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that's the way it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: You said there was hatred and violence on both sides —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I do think there's blame, yes, I think there's blame on both sides. You look at both sides. I think there's blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it. And you don't have any doubt about it either. And, and if you reported it accurately, you would say it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Excuse me. You had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group, excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park, from Robert E. Lee to another name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Washington was a slave-owner. Was George Washington a slave-owner? So will George Washington now lose his status — are we going to take down — excuse me. Are we going to take down statues of George Washington? How 'bout Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him? OK, good. Are we going to take down the statue because he was a major slave-owner? Now we're going to take down his statue. So you know what, it's fine. You're changing history, you're changing culture. And you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo Nazis or the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo Nazis and white nationalists, OK? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats. You got a lot of bad people in the other group, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: You said the press has treated white nationalists unfairly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: No. There were people in that rally, and I looked the night before, if you look, they were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. I'm sure in that group there were some bad ones. The following day it looked like they had some rough, bad people. Neo Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them. But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest and very legally protest. Because I don't know if you know, they had a permit. The other group didn't have a permit. So I only tell you this, there are two sides to a story. I thought what took place was a horrible moment for our country. A horrible moment. But there are two sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Does anybody have a final —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: What makes you think you can get an infrastructure bill, you didn't get health care –\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, you know, I'll tell you. We came very close with health care. Unfortunately, John McCain decided to vote against it at the last minute. You'll have to ask John McCain why he did that. But we came very close to health care. We will end up getting health care but we'll get the infrastructure and actually infrastructure is something that I think will have bipartisan support on. I actually think Democrats will go along with the infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Have you spoken to the family of the victim of the car attack?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: No, I'll be reaching out. I'll be reaching out. I was very, I thought that the statement put out — the mother's statement — I thought was a beautiful statement. I will tell you, it was something that I really appreciated. I thought it was terrific and really under the kind of stress that she's under and the heartache that she's under, I thought putting out that statement to me was really something I won't forget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you all very much. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<side conversation with reporters>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Will you go to Charlottesville?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: I own a house in Charlottesville. Does anyone know I own a house in Charlottesville?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Where is it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Oh boy. It's in Charlottesville, you'll see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: Is it near the winery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: It is the winery. I mean, I know a lot about Charlottesville. Charlottesville is a great place. It's been very badly hurt over the last couple of days. I own actually one of the largest wineries in the United States. It's in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: What do you think needs to be done to overcome the racial divide?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Well, I really think jobs going to have a big impact. I think if we continue to create jobs — over a million, substantially more than a million — and you see just the other day the car companies coming in, I think if we continue to create jobs at levels that I'm creating jobs, I think that's going to have a tremendous impact, a positive impact, on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp><<crosstalk>>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TRUMP: Because the people are going to be working, they're going to be making a lot of money, much more money than they ever thought possible. And the other thing, very important, I believe wages will start going up. They haven't gone up for a long time. I believe wages now, because the economy is doing so well with respect to employment and unemployment, I believe wages will start to go up. I think that will have a tremendously positive impact on race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I told Zamora, \"I just remember this little twerp sixth-grader like running across to me with his hand going up to me and, POW!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also spoke to a teacher, Rori Abernethy, who used to teach math at Oakland High School and said she regularly addressed sexual harassment and assault between students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I got burned out. I felt like I was doing lawyering more than teaching,\" Abernethy said. \"And that's a big reason why I left Oakland, because I really want to teach.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After almost a decade at Oakland High, Abernethy switched districts last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Just the day-to-day job of teaching is exhausting,\" she said. \"If another child comes and reports something, you can't just let it go. You have to do something. That's somebody's life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, federal law requires schools to look into sexual harassment and assault, which both fall under Title IX, a law most commonly associated with women's access to sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Title IX actually covers a surprisingly wide range of activities. It's an anti-discrimination statute,\" said William Koski, director of the Youth and Education Law Project at Stanford University. It can cover sexual harassment, sexual violence, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hostile environments\" are also covered under Title IX, said Koski. What is a hostile environment? Imagine sitting in second period next to a guy who assaulted you, or running into him alone in an empty hallway. The responsibility of creating a safe learning environment falls onto schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Title IX has been around since the 1970s, but in recent years it has been increasingly applied to sexual assault. Under Title IX, schools may even be accountable for off-campus assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So, for instance, if there is sexual violence at a party, or something like that, it's entirely possible that the victim of that kind of sexual violence will feel quite uncomfortable at school,\" Koski explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After reporting a sexual assault, if students and parents are unhappy with the actions of their school, they are able to file a complaint with the federal government. The Office of Civil Rights at the Department of Education has the power to investigate schools for their handling of sexual violence. Since \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/document/247014431/OCR-Sexual-Violence-Open-Investigations-For-Elementary-And-Secondary-Schools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014\u003c/a>, those investigations are up more than \u003ca href=\"https://app.luminpdf.com/viewer/gtGXjsmCeBcLD9DDw/share?sk=6d16aa7d-0a4e-4f28-b5f6-54ba9deaa6a6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">500 percent\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one high-profile case at Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia, a teen girl says she was sexually assaulted by another student in an empty classroom. In her complaint to the Office of Civil Rights, she says that she was questioned by a school security officer after reporting the alleged assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He allegedly asked her, \"What were you wearing? Why didn't you tell your mom ASAP? Are you sure you didn't \u003cem>want\u003c/em> to have oral sex with him? Did you scream?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Gwinnett County Public School district repeatedly declined our requests for an interview, but last year, a representative told \u003ca href=\"http://www.11alive.com/news/education/attorney-gwinnett-student-was-suspended-after-coming-forward-about-alleged-sex-assault/339406174\">local TV news reporters\u003c/a> that the investigation was conducted \"fairly, thoroughly and promptly,\" and that they believed the act was consensual. Both the accused and the accuser were suspended for having sex on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her part, the girl filed a complaint against the district to the Office of Civil Rights, arguing that her suspension amounts to retaliation for coming forward about her assault. In an email to Youth Radio, the girl has a message for schools:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My message is simple: It is your job to keep students safe. When a student comes forward and reports an assault, school officials must step up, provide support and take the report seriously.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case is still under investigation by the Office of Civil Rights. Gwinnett County Public Schools has three open investigations for how they've handled sexual violence – among the highest of any school district in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/documents/item/3863019-doc00742420170609111824.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">changing\u003c/a> how it handles these complaints. The Department of Education didn't respond to interview requests, but officials released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3866792-Us-Ed-Full-Statement.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement\u003c/a> saying that the changes are meant to streamline investigations, which can currently take years. But critics argue that the administration is weakening requirements designed to protect schoolchildren and guard against systemic abuse, in a moment when sexual violence complaints in schools are on the rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is a \u003ca href=\"http://www.youthradio.org\">Youth Radio\u003c/a> special report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 Youth Radio.

Under Title IX, schools may even be accountable for off-campus assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So, for instance, if there is sexual violence at a party, or something like that, it's entirely possible that the victim of that kind of sexual violence will feel quite uncomfortable at school,\" Koski explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After reporting a sexual assault, if students and parents are unhappy with the actions of their school, they are able to file a complaint with the federal government. The Office of Civil Rights at the Department of Education has the power to investigate schools for their handling of sexual violence. Since \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/document/247014431/OCR-Sexual-Violence-Open-Investigations-For-Elementary-And-Secondary-Schools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014\u003c/a>, those investigations are up more than \u003ca href=\"https://app.luminpdf.com/viewer/gtGXjsmCeBcLD9DDw/share?sk=6d16aa7d-0a4e-4f28-b5f6-54ba9deaa6a6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">500 percent\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one high-profile case at Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia, a teen girl says she was sexually assaulted by another student in an empty classroom. In her complaint to the Office of Civil Rights, she says that she was questioned by a school security officer after reporting the alleged assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He allegedly asked her, \"What were you wearing? Why didn't you tell your mom ASAP? Are you sure you didn't \u003cem>want\u003c/em> to have oral sex with him? Did you scream?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Gwinnett County Public School district repeatedly declined our requests for an interview, but last year, a representative told \u003ca href=\"http://www.11alive.com/news/education/attorney-gwinnett-student-was-suspended-after-coming-forward-about-alleged-sex-assault/339406174\">local TV news reporters\u003c/a> that the investigation was conducted \"fairly, thoroughly and promptly,\" and that they believed the act was consensual. Both the accused and the accuser were suspended for having sex on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her part, the girl filed a complaint against the district to the Office of Civil Rights, arguing that her suspension amounts to retaliation for coming forward about her assault. In an email to Youth Radio, the girl has a message for schools:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My message is simple: It is your job to keep students safe. When a student comes forward and reports an assault, school officials must step up, provide support and take the report seriously.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case is still under investigation by the Office of Civil Rights. Gwinnett County Public Schools has three open investigations for how they've handled sexual violence – among the highest of any school district in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/documents/item/3863019-doc00742420170609111824.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">changing\u003c/a> how it handles these complaints. The Department of Education didn't respond to interview requests, but officials released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3866792-Us-Ed-Full-Statement.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement\u003c/a> saying that the changes are meant to streamline investigations, which can currently take years. But critics argue that the administration is weakening requirements designed to protect schoolchildren and guard against systemic abuse, in a moment when sexual violence complaints in schools are on the rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is a \u003ca href=\"http://www.youthradio.org\">Youth Radio\u003c/a> special report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 Youth Radio.

Trump’s remarks on Monday followed criticism that his initial statement about the clash of protesters did not condemn racist groups specifically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans,” the president said from the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump began his remarks talking about his economic accomplishments and plans for trade negotiations before turning his attention to the events over the weekend in Virginia. After the Charlottesville City Council had voted earlier this year to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from one of its parks, white nationalist groups — including white supremacists, the alt-right, the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis — descended on the city for a “Unite the Right” rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday night, they marched on the normally sleepy college town, home to the University of Virginia, carrying torches. On Saturday conditions turned deadly as hundreds of the white nationalists, some carrying Confederate flags and shields and others in militia-like gear, clashed with counterprotesters in the city streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”h5HspAIoHvxJaB6J1P27SUUTUuLfii9Z”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point a silver Dodge Challenger, allegedly driven by 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. of Ohio, rammed into a street filled with counterprotesters. Heather Heyer, 32, was killed, and at least 19 others were injured. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/14/543414086/charlottesville-suspect-to-remain-in-jail-after-first-court-appearance\">Fields was charged\u003c/a> with one count of second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of hit and run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump expressed sympathy to Heyer’s family as well as to the families of Virginia State Troopers Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Berke M.M. Bates, who died when their helicopter that was patrolling Saturday’s event crashed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation,” Trump said. “In times such as these, America has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spoke after meeting with newly installed FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the White House. He said that the Department of Justice had opened a civil rights investigation into the car attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To anyone who acted criminally at this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered,” the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessions \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-attorney-general-evil-charlottesville-car-ramming-fits/story?id=49202191\">told ABC News\u003c/a> on Monday morning that the car crash that had killed Heyer “does meet the definition of domestic terrorism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can be sure we will charge and advance the investigation towards the most serious charges that can be brought, because this is unequivocally an unacceptable, evil attack,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”6CPD8U2oj4Pt7QqTXE1uSHHk3GCVG0FE”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s condemnations may be too little, too late for those who criticized Trump’s initial remarks — and Trump may have missed a critical moment to be the nation’s healer in chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., the Senate’s only black Republican, said in a statement later Monday that while Trump’s remarks earlier that day were “clear and specific,” those words “would have been more impactful on Saturday.” In an op-ed in \u003cem>USA Today\u003c/em>, which did not mention Trump, \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/08/14/fight-hatred-fear-domestic-terror-with-american-ideals-tim-scott-column/564755001/\">Scott wrote\u003c/a>, “Our response to the events in Charlottesville, Va., should mirror our response to the murders at \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/12/07/witness-charleston-shooting-felicia-sanders/95121812/\">Mother Emanuel Church\u003c/a> in Charleston. Condemnation of racism. Swift justice for a terrorist. And unity for the community that grieves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SenatorTimScott/status/897200925571469312\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, Trump claimed that the clashes were a result of “hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides.” Top Republicans, among others, quickly criticized him for not calling out by name the white supremacists, alt-right, KKK and neo-Nazi groups that began the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. President — we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism,” Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., who heads up the GOP Senate campaign committee, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenCoryGardner/status/896472477844385792\">tweeted\u003c/a> on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SenCoryGardner/status/896472477844385792\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House put out an unsigned statement on Sunday morning, saying that, “The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred and of course that includes white Supremacists, KKK, neo-nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Pence had gone further than the president in his own comments, telling reporters Sunday night while traveling in Colombia, “We have no tolerance for hate and violence from white supremacists, neo-Nazis or the KKK. These dangerous fringe groups have no place in American public life and in the American debate, and we condemn them in the strongest possible terms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>been blamed for being slow to criticize white supremacist groups in the past — even as he regularly attacks other targets on Twitter. During the 2016 campaign, Trump came under fire for \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/03/politics/donald-trump-disavows-david-duke-kkk/index.html\">not immediately disavowing\u003c/a> the endorsement of David Duke, a former KKK grand wizard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”GErqhhVGf0tdTOtnHMoVic98fciKFMmw”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke, who attended the march in Virginia, said on Saturday that participants’ aim was “to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke later \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DrDavidDuke/status/896431991821926401\">responded to one of the president’s tweets\u003c/a> condemning the violence by saying, “I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKi2AOPBavU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read Trump’s full remarks, delivered Monday afternoon at the White House: \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you. I’m in Washington today to meet with my economic team about trade policy and major tax cuts and reform. We are renegotiating trade deals and making them good for the American worker and it’s about time. Our economy is now strong. The stock market continues to hit record highs, unemployment is at 16 year low and businesses are more optimistic than ever before. Companies are moving back to the United States and bringing many thousands of jobs with them. We have already created over one million jobs since I took office. We will be discussing economic issues in greater detail later this afternoon but based on the events that took place over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, I would like to provide the nation with an update on the ongoing federal response to the horrific attack and violence that was witnessed by everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I just met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the deadly car attack that killed one innocent American and wounded 20 others. To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered. As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as I have said many times before, no matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws. We all salute the same great flag. And we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hated, bigotry and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our creator. We are equal under the law. And we are equal under our constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two days ago, a young American woman, Heather Heyer, was tragically killed. Her death fills us with grief and we send her family our thoughts, our prayers and our love. We also mourn the two Virginia state troopers who died in service to their community, their commonwealth and their country. Troopers Jay Cullen and Berke Bates exemplify the very best of America and our hearts go out to their families, their friends and every member of American law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation. In times such as these, America has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a candidate, I promised to restore law and order to our country and our federal law enforcement agencies are following through on that pledge. We will spare no resource in fighting so that every American child can grow up free from violence and fear. We will defend and protect the sacred rights of all Americans and we will work together so that every citizen in this blessed land is free to follow their dreams in their hearts and to express the love and joy in their souls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you, god bless you and god bless America. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Pence had gone further than the president in his own comments, telling reporters Sunday night while traveling in Colombia, “We have no tolerance for hate and violence from white supremacists, neo-Nazis or the KKK.

I’m in Washington today to meet with my economic team about trade policy and major tax cuts and reform. We are renegotiating trade deals and making them good for the American worker and it’s about time. Our economy is now strong. The stock market continues to hit record highs, unemployment is at 16 year low and businesses are more optimistic than ever before. Companies are moving back to the United States and bringing many thousands of jobs with them. We have already created over one million jobs since I took office. We will be discussing economic issues in greater detail later this afternoon but based on the events that took place over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, I would like to provide the nation with an update on the ongoing federal response to the horrific attack and violence that was witnessed by everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I just met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the deadly car attack that killed one innocent American and wounded 20 others. To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered. As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as I have said many times before, no matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws. We all salute the same great flag. And we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hated, bigotry and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our creator. We are equal under the law. And we are equal under our constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two days ago, a young American woman, Heather Heyer, was tragically killed. Her death fills us with grief and we send her family our thoughts, our prayers and our love. We also mourn the two Virginia state troopers who died in service to their community, their commonwealth and their country. Troopers Jay Cullen and Berke Bates exemplify the very best of America and our hearts go out to their families, their friends and every member of American law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation. In times such as these, America has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a candidate, I promised to restore law and order to our country and our federal law enforcement agencies are following through on that pledge. We will spare no resource in fighting so that every American child can grow up free from violence and fear. We will defend and protect the sacred rights of all Americans and we will work together so that every citizen in this blessed land is free to follow their dreams in their hearts and to express the love and joy in their souls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That was years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lile says relying on hearsay, or doing a quick internet search, doesn't tell you the whole picture about a school district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So often, people just look at a score from \u003ca href=\"https://www.greatschools.org/\">GreatSchools\u003c/a> or whatever,\" says Lile. \"And that really doesn't tell the story.\" He says those numbers can be skewed for a variety of reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When working with Loften, he made sure to include information about Pasadena's bilingual programs, new magnet programs and its growing college admissions at one of the high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lile says his opinion on the district turned around after he joined something called the Realtor Initiative, a program created a couple of years ago by the school district's independent fundraising foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal of the program is to give real estate agents up-to-date information about new programs and results in the district — and to ask them what schools can do to attract families like the Loftons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, Pasadena graduation rates have been improving faster than the state average and enrollment isn't dropping as fast as it was four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School officials met with hundreds of agents at their offices, asked them to volunteer in the schools and pulled the curtain back on decision-making in the school district. There's even a monthly \u003cem>Lunch with the Superintendent\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the city as a whole, Pasadena's public school population is predominately black, Latino and low income. Superintendent McDonald says the program \"is a part of our desire to attract a more diverse group of kids into our school system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By diverse, he means the type of families who have turned away from Pasadena schools for decades: professionals, white, Asian families. Those student populations have been growing in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McDonald says there's another sign that the initiative is working: He's looking for a new home — and this time, the real estate agent recommended Pasadena public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 Southern California Public Radio.

Juan Vargas, D-Calif., said in an email Monday to KPBS. \"I am requesting an immediate response from the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that proper training is put in place for Customs and Border Protection agents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vargas' statement is the \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video-shows-border-officers-appeared-encourage-permit-teen/story?id=48903893\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">latest in a string of similar calls\u003c/a> for action from members of Congress after video showing the events leading up to the death of Cruz Velazquez Acevedo \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video-shows-border-officers-appeared-encourage-permit-teen/story?id=48903893\">aired for the first time\u003c/a> on ABC News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the video, two customs officers appear to be gesturing at Velazquez to drink from the bottles of liquid methamphetamine and laughing when he does. According to court records, the officers asked the boy to drink the liquid to prove it was not meth. The boy claimed the bottles contained apple juice, but the officers were suspicious because he seemed nervous. Velazquez, who was 16 years old, died later that day from the overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene Iredale, the attorney for the boy's family, said the customs officers broke protocol because they should have simply tested the liquid with kits they have on hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That suggests to me that training and appropriate screening before people are hired needs to be done,\" he said. \"No discipline of any kind was imposed (on the officers) — not a day off work, not a penny less in salary, not even a letter of reprimand in the file.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection confirmed that the agency did not discipline the officers involved in the incident. The U.S. gave the family a $1 million settlement earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to a request for comment regarding the calls for action from members of Congress, Customs and Border Protection emailed KPBS the following statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"U.S. Customs and Border Protection conducted an investigation following the incident at the San Ysidro port of entry in November 2013. Additionally, the San Diego Police Department conducted an in-custody death investigation. On January 24, 2014, the SDPD provided a copy of their investigation to the U.S. Attorney's Office, which declined to file charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility continued to review the case, spending nearly a year that included a national-level review board, which in September 2014 also determined that no further action was warranted and the officers involved were not disciplined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"CBP Officers are our front line representatives protecting our country. In the San Diego Field Office alone, our officers encountered more than 75 million people last fiscal year. In spite of those vast numbers of daily interactions, our officers work hard to do the right thing every day, ensuring that they allow legitimate travelers into the U.S. while stopping illegal activity as well as working to ensure the well-being of the travelers that we are encounter.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/02/19/dhs-kelly-proposes-hiring-more-immigration-officers-fast-tracking-deportations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plans to hire thousands of new officers\u003c/a> in the coming months. The attorney, Iredale, said this makes it all the more urgent for the agency to implement new training measures to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This was a 16-year-old boy who was doing something admittedly wrong, who was doing something for which he deserved possibly to be punished, certainly to be brought before the court and called upon to answer for his conduct. But instead these agents decided to have a little fun at his expense and take the risk that they imposed on him, that he would die — which is exactly what happened,\" Iredale said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 KPBS Radio.
