Students with children will see their maximum Cal Grant award nearly quadruple this year to $6,000, first-time community college students can now attend tuition-free for two years if they go full-time, and campuses are receiving their largest-ever state appropriation to tackle hunger and homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All are a result of the 2019-2020 \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2019/06/california-state-budget-gavin-newsom/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">budget\u003c/a> lawmakers agreed to in June, which also boosted the number of scholarships in the competitive Cal Grant program that serves students who take time off between graduating high school and returning to school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Student Association President Varsha Sarveshwar called the student lobbying that led to the changes “pretty successful” but said she’s “hoping everyone can come together [next year] on a solution that better addresses the total cost of attendance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes will affect a small percentage of California’s more than three million students. The 15,000 new competitive Cal Grants, for example, pale in comparison to the more than 400,000 qualified applicants who were \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/california-cost-of-college-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shut out\u003c/a> of the program last year.

My takeaway is the fact that multiple proposals got introduced, because that shows the level of commitment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Medina and the author of another proposal to increase financial aid for community college students, Senator Connie Leyva, have vowed to continue moving their bills forward, and potentially reworking them, next session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost estimates are daunting — about $2 billion for Medina’s bill, a 100% increase in the state’s Cal Grant budget — but doubling state investment in financial aid is not unprecedented, said Jacob Jackson, a research fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cal Grants are tied to tuition, and when tuition increased during the great recession, our Cal Grant costs actually doubled over 10 years,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some legislators put their ideas to tackle college costs on pause after the budget was signed. Senator Richard Roth had argued that offering Cal Grants for summer sessions would help low-income students graduate faster. The state gave the University of California and California State University a total of $10 million to experiment with waiving summer tuition for some students this year, and Roth parked his bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sarveshwar said UCSA would continue lobbying for all students to be entitled to the summer grants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cost wasn’t the only challenge. When Assemblyman Marc Berman proposed requiring community colleges to keep parking lots open overnight so homeless students could sleep there, the idea drew national attention, in part as a symbol of California’s bonkers housing crisis. But it was \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2019/09/homeless-students-parking-lots-community-college-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quashed\u003c/a> after a Senate committee added amendments that Berman said weakened the bill, and he withdrew it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berman said he blamed himself for underestimating the cost of securing the lots. But community colleges also seemed to resent the prospect of the state telling them how to solve their students’ housing problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> [aside tag='college' label='RELATED STORIES']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What about giving our homeless students referrals to county and social service providers…emergency grants, and student success programs ensuring students enter the workforce and make a living wage?” Fresno City College President Carole Goldsmith wrote in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/opinion/readers-opinion/article232609642.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opinion piece\u003c/a> for The Fresno Bee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clash also shows the need for a paradigm shift in how California colleges view their responsibilities to students, Berman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Forever, colleges and universities have just seen their role as educating students, and in an ideal world, that would be all they’d have to do,” he said. “But if we look at [helping homeless students] as, ‘This is what needs to happen to generate the graduates that our economy needs in the future,’ then this isn’t like a welfare program, this is really an investment in California’s economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That view seems to be gaining ground among the Legislature’s Democratic majority, but lawmakers still face tough questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among them: whether to prioritize extending state financial aid to categories of students who are currently shut out, or increasing grants for those who already get them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One bill that passed this year focused on an especially vulnerable group of students: those who attend for-profit colleges. Authored by Assemblyman David Chiu, it will monitor whether graduates of the schools — who statistically have been more likely to default on their loans than those at public and non-profit universities — are earning enough to pay back their debts. Originally meant to penalize schools who failed that test, it was scaled back after\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2019/09/what-happened-california-crackdown-for-profit-colleges/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> intense lobbying\u003c/a> from the for-profit college industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the ink barely dry on this year’s legislation, conversations about next year’s higher ed budgeting are already beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Merced Interim Chancellor Nathan Brostrom said he’d like to see the state provide more financial support next year to students who are transitioning out of the foster care system. “They’re basically graduating from the program at 18 and don’t have anywhere to go,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC also is considering a new \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2019/uc-studies-ways-to-increase-tuition-but-with-a-price-freeze-guarantee/615134\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cohort-based tuition system\u003c/a> that would freeze fees for current students for up to six years, combined with increases as new classes enter. It could help families plan their budgets but is controversial because it assumes tuition will go up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, survey results from the state’s student aid commission show that California students are spending about\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2019/09/california-college-costs-tuition-housing-textbooks-food-survey/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> $2,000 per month\u003c/a> on non-tuition costs, with more than 30% saying they didn’t have enough money to pay for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, TICAS released a \u003ca href=\"https://ticas.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/charting-the-course.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> on reforming state financial aid that urged California to extend Cal Grant entitlements to all students regardless of age or time out of high school. It also called for capping student work hours at 15 per week when calculating how much they can be expected to contribute to the cost of their education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What works better for students is to think about what’s affordable for students, not just what’s affordable for the state,” Cochrane said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CalMatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Originally meant to penalize schools who failed that test, it was scaled back after\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2019/09/what-happened-california-crackdown-for-profit-colleges/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> intense lobbying\u003c/a> from the for-profit college industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the ink barely dry on this year’s legislation, conversations about next year’s higher ed budgeting are already beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Merced Interim Chancellor Nathan Brostrom said he’d like to see the state provide more financial support next year to students who are transitioning out of the foster care system. “They’re basically graduating from the program at 18 and don’t have anywhere to go,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC also is considering a new \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2019/uc-studies-ways-to-increase-tuition-but-with-a-price-freeze-guarantee/615134\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cohort-based tuition system\u003c/a> that would freeze fees for current students for up to six years, combined with increases as new classes enter. It could help families plan their budgets but is controversial because it assumes tuition will go up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, survey results from the state’s student aid commission show that California students are spending about\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2019/09/california-college-costs-tuition-housing-textbooks-food-survey/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> $2,000 per month\u003c/a> on non-tuition costs, with more than 30% saying they didn’t have enough money to pay for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, TICAS released a \u003ca href=\"https://ticas.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/charting-the-course.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> on reforming state financial aid that urged California to extend Cal Grant entitlements to all students regardless of age or time out of high school. It also called for capping student work hours at 15 per week when calculating how much they can be expected to contribute to the cost of their education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What works better for students is to think about what’s affordable for students, not just what’s affordable for the state,” Cochrane said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At 40, he was destitute, in pain and out of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Darryl Lester, lead plaintiff in landmark special education lawsuit in California']‘My dream is to be able to pick up a book and read it by myself.’[/pullquote]The letter delivered good news: Lester would be getting disability benefits after blowing out his back in a sheet metal accident. But he crumpled it up and threw it in the trash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? Because he couldn’t read it. From first through seventh grades, Lester had attended three public schools in San Francisco. At each, he struggled with reading and didn’t get the help he needed for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What he didn’t know until last year: His reading difficulties had made him the lead plaintiff — under the pseudonym Larry P. — in a landmark lawsuit that changed special education for black students across California. October marks the 40th anniversary of the judge’s ruling, which was supposed to help fix a system he had deemed discriminatory. But many educators, black parents and advocates for black students say plenty remains broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Educable Mentally Retarded’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Larry P. case, California education code \u003ca href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/495/926/2007878/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">required\u003c/a> school districts to use IQ scores when assessing students for special education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on the test results, black students statewide — young Darryl included — wound up categorized as “educable mentally retarded” at disproportionate rates: 27% labeled that way in 1968 were black — even though black students made up less than 9% of the student body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same year, a group of black psychologists broke off from the American Psychological Association in protest over black community concerns that they believed the larger organization was too slow to address. Their top priority was to stop districts from using IQ tests, which they thought were culturally biased, to decide who belonged in special education, said one of the breakaway group’s founders, Harold Dent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Bay Area chapter of the Association of Black Psychologists learned of complaints from black parents in San Francisco, they teamed up with civil rights lawyers and sued in 1971.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a group, African Americans across the country scored lower on IQ tests. The \u003ca href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/495/926/2007878/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit\u003c/a> alleged that was because the tests were biased toward Eurocentric culture. Questions like, ”Who wrote Romeo and Juliet,” they argued, didn’t assess a student’s innate capacity to learn. It tested knowledge that some – and not others — had acquired at home or school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Robert Peckham agreed, calling the tests “racially and culturally biased” and “discriminatory.” He ordered a permanent ban on IQ testing of black students across California for purposes of special education placement. Today, California is the only state that has such a ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students who landed in classes for the “educable mentally retarded,” Peckham wrote, were doomed to fall “farther and farther behind,” because — instead of academics — the classes emphasized “personal hygiene and grooming” and “basic home and community living skills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Darryl Lester remembers those classes: lots of recess time and plenty of field trips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I walked to school and cried all the way,” he said. “I just didn’t like it, you know, because they wasn’t teaching us nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The District Labeled Her Son Mentally Retarded — and Didn’t Tell Her\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lester and his mom and older brothers moved from Marietta, Georgia, to San Francisco in 1965, he said, because “she didn’t want to find us dead one day hanging by a tree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Darryl Lester, lead plaintiff in landmark special education lawsuit in California']‘I walked to school and cried all the way. I just didn’t like it, you know, because they wasn’t teaching us nothing.’[/pullquote]Their first home was a Victorian in the Fillmore District. Lester said he learned his way around the “gorgeous” city by bus and bicycle. Life was pretty good, except in school. Although he was “very good at math,” Lester said, he had a hard time with reading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lester said he remembers a teacher telling him he was looking at words backwards as he sought to pronounce them. People with dyslexia see words the same way as everyone else — but have a neurobiological language processing disorder that’s often responsive to intervention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether Lester has dyslexia is unclear. What is clear is that instead of getting help with his reading, he got teased, into fights and suspended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would get frustrated, agitated, upset, and then I’d get sent to the principal’s office,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lester’s mom, Lucille Lester, didn’t learn that the school district had labeled her son “mentally retarded” until one of the black psychologists visited their home to evaluate Darryl and go through some tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After he talked to Darryl, he turns to me and says, ‘Well, there is nothing wrong with this child,’ ” she testified in court in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, she said, is when he told her what kind of classes Darryl had been attending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Naturally I didn’t feel good about it, and I got angry about it,” she told the court. “This is when I really found out what was really going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11781040\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11781040\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/10182019_SE_mom-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Family photos adorn the walls of Darryl and Cecilia Lester’s home in Tacoma, Washington.

He banned the use of the tests specifically for black students. In time, more subtle special education categories replaced the old ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the judge ruled in 1979, a new \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/policy/speced/leg/idea/history.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal law\u003c/a> enacted in 1975 guaranteed students with disabilities equal access to public education.

They’re underassessed in categories such as autism spectrum disorder. And some who need special education don’t get assessed for anything. That, parents and special education advocates say, is because some teachers expect so little of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite those risks, plenty of black parents want their kids in special education because it gives families a legal avenue to hold schools accountable. Last year, a group of black parents gathered at a San Francisco school to talk about their struggles getting their kids assessed and making sure they receive the support guaranteed under the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many black families find themselves navigating the system because nearly one in three black students in San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) is in special education — compared to one in eight non-black students, district data \u003ca href=\"//drive.google.com/open?id=13EX-vu62Ie1EcPO0VcoM-lI2lp-eEmwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shows\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That overrepresentation is highest in special education categories dealing with behavior. And educators, \u003ca href=\"http://kirwaninstitute.osu.edu/racial-disproportionality-in-school-discipline-implicit-bias-is-heavily-implicated/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studies show\u003c/a>, are more likely to perceive the behavior of black boys as aggressive or defiant. That’s why black boys routinely post the highest rates of suspensions and expulsions in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mauricha Robinson said it’s not just boys: Her daughter Zariah excelled in school until sixth grade — when the curriculum got more complex. She tanked in her studies for the next two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of seeking to assess Zariah for special needs, Robinson said, the school was kicking her out of class, sending her home or to the principal’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was just, ‘How do we curb the behavior, behavior, behavior,’ ” she said. “And it was all punitive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like all districts in California, SFUSD is working to reduce the disproportionately high numbers of black students in special education. Robinson speculates maybe that’s why no one in Zariah’s school sought to have her assessed, “to avoid stigmatizing another black child with a special education label.” But she thinks stereotypes played in, too, “of her being a black girl. Aggressive, ‘adultifying’ her, or ‘she’s sassy’ or ‘she’s outspoken.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Darryl Lester, lead plaintiff in landmark special education lawsuit in California']‘If you’re a kid that can’t read something, it’s embarrassing.’[/pullquote]That’s also common: \u003ca href=\"https://www.aecf.org/blog/new-study-the-adultification-of-black-girls/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research\u003c/a> has shown that adults at school often treat black girls “as less innocent and more adult-like than white girls of the same age” and punish them more harshly as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Robinson got some advice: If she requested her daughter get assessed, she’d be inoculated against expulsion.

But he crumpled it up and threw it in the trash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? Because he couldn’t read it. From first through seventh grades, Lester had attended three public schools in San Francisco. At each, he struggled with reading and didn’t get the help he needed for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What he didn’t know until last year: His reading difficulties had made him the lead plaintiff — under the pseudonym Larry P. — in a landmark lawsuit that changed special education for black students across California. October marks the 40th anniversary of the judge’s ruling, which was supposed to help fix a system he had deemed discriminatory.

Their top priority was to stop districts from using IQ tests, which they thought were culturally biased, to decide who belonged in special education, said one of the breakaway group’s founders, Harold Dent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Bay Area chapter of the Association of Black Psychologists learned of complaints from black parents in San Francisco, they teamed up with civil rights lawyers and sued in 1971.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a group, African Americans across the country scored lower on IQ tests. The \u003ca href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/495/926/2007878/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit\u003c/a> alleged that was because the tests were biased toward Eurocentric culture. Questions like, ”Who wrote Romeo and Juliet,” they argued, didn’t assess a student’s innate capacity to learn. It tested knowledge that some – and not others — had acquired at home or school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Robert Peckham agreed, calling the tests “racially and culturally biased” and “discriminatory.” He ordered a permanent ban on IQ testing of black students across California for purposes of special education placement. Today, California is the only state that has such a ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students who landed in classes for the “educable mentally retarded,” Peckham wrote, were doomed to fall “farther and farther behind,” because — instead of academics — the classes emphasized “personal hygiene and grooming” and “basic home and community living skills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Darryl Lester remembers those classes: lots of recess time and plenty of field trips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I walked to school and cried all the way,” he said. “I just didn’t like it, you know, because they wasn’t teaching us nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The District Labeled Her Son Mentally Retarded — and Didn’t Tell Her\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lester and his mom and older brothers moved from Marietta, Georgia, to San Francisco in 1965, he said, because “she didn’t want to find us dead one day hanging by a tree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She points to President Donald Trump’s rhetoric and policies such as the travel ban as contributing to the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incidents of bias and violence against Muslims in the U.S. spiked in 2017, with 2,599 reports of violence, harassment and discrimination, according to\u003ca href=\"http://www.islamophobia.org/images/2019/Bias_Brief/BB_2_-_FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a study\u003c/a> by CAIR, which has been tracking the trend since 2014.

But Shohoud offered a different strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A really interesting response would be to ask, ‘What makes you say that?’ So they kind of have to admit that they are being Islamophobic, and nobody really wants to do that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ishaq Pathan, the group’s Bay Area director who leads the training, and the other students nodded in agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, turn it back,” said Pathan, 24. “That’s a great response, because it puts the ball in their court and they have to come to terms with whatever they are saying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11778606\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11778606 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39173__M6A0802-qut-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1299\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39173__M6A0802-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39173__M6A0802-qut-1-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39173__M6A0802-qut-1-800x541.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39173__M6A0802-qut-1-1020x690.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39173__M6A0802-qut-1-1200x812.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ryan Aridin and Wajdi Barghouti participate at an ING training in San Jose on Sept. 13, 2019. \u003ccite>(Sruti Mamidanna/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In general, school districts have a \u003ca href=\"https://www.educationdive.com/news/how-are-school-districts-legally-responsible-for-bullying/538619/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legal obligation\u003c/a> to address bullying and protect students.

Everybody has a right to practice their faith traditions,” she said. “The data suggest that that’s not where we are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Dr. Nadia Ansary, an associate professor at Rider University in New Jersey']‘What happens in schools is a mirror image of what’s happening in society because schools are a part of our community.’[/pullquote]If students intervene to confront bullies, start a conversation to counter negative stereotypes, or nip hurtful language or jokes in the bud, that helps create a better environment for everyone at school, Pathan told the students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of this works if we just turn around and make fun of other people,” said Pathan. “It’s only going to work if we all reduce this thing together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the training, students also practice presenting fact-checked \u003ca href=\"https://ing.org/youth-presentations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">materials\u003c/a> to their community about the history of Muslims in America and their faith. Those include a list of more than 110 frequently asked questions and answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using all those those components to stem discrimination and empower students is what makes the program unique, said Ansary and Muslim leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Saman Ali, 17, finished the ING training two years ago, she gave presentations to hundreds of students at her high school about the basics of her religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to show kids that Muslims are just like anybody else,” said Ali, a senior at Monte Vista High School in Danville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she realized most of her peers didn’t know much about Islam. Classmates asked her if she fasted during Ramadan, why she doesn’t wear a hijab and if she prays five times a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They definitely wanted to know what do you do as a Muslim kid,” she said. “I can understand why they were confused. So I was there to clarify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monte Vista High teacher Jill Seidenverg has repeatedly invited Ali to share her presentation in her AP world history class. Students are often more receptive to learning from a peer, said Seidenverg, and she’s seen a positive impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='bullying' label='Related Coverage']“The more you know, the less afraid you are. And the less afraid you are, the less hateful or hurtful you can be as a human,” said Seidenverg, who has taught for 29 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experience also helps the youth speakers gain confidence, as they trade their feelings of being powerless or victimized to ones of realizing they can be agents of change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ali said she used to want to transfer to another, more diverse high school. But she felt differently after taking the training and giving her presentations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt more comfortable at my school, and I also think that the kids felt more comfortable with Muslims at school because we kind of understood each other a little bit better,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through another ING initiative, Ali is now collaborating with Jewish and Sikh students who also face high rates of bullying to raise awareness and tolerance at schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

McGlashan is a Mill Valley investment manager whose brother was a prominent Marin County supervisor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huneeus also, at one point, asks Singer if this is going to blow up in his face. “Hasn’t in 24 years,” responds Singer on the transcript.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singer is identified as “Cooperating Witness 1” in the indictment, with prosecutors noting he hoped for a lenient sentence in return for aiding investigators. He later pleaded guilty to charges of racketeering, money laundering and conspiracy. He began cooperating with the government in late 2018, but added obstruction to his charges after warning some of the subjects about the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors recommended a $95,000 fine and 15 months in prison for Huneeus, the longest term they have sought for a parent involved in the case. His lawyers said he deserved two months. He was sentenced to five months, a $100,000 fine and 500 hours of community service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huneeus is among a few parents accused of pursuing both angles of the scam: Most either cheated on their children’s college entrance exams or paid bribes to get them admitted as recruited athletes, but not both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court documents, Huneeus said that he realized cheating for his daughter “was not about helping her, it was about how it would make me feel. In the end my own ego brought me down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huneeus has also said he is ashamed and saw that his actions represent “the worst sort of entitlement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Only a fraction made it to Newsom’s desk, as with most legislation. High-profile bills to lower local parcel tax thresholds and prohibit schools from hiring teachers through third-party programs such as Teach For America, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/death-watch-the-bill-killer-is-in-the-house/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fell short of passage\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s still unclear if Newsom will sign or veto a number of measures that cleared the Legislature — he has until Oct. 13 to act.

"description": "\u003ch1>The California Dream\u003c/h1>\r\nYou became a Californian because someone in your family believed in a dream. A strong public education. The promise of a job. The weather.
