"bio": "Sandhya Dirks was the race and equity reporter at KQED.

Controversial content included addressing the emotional aspects of sex and sexual activity; the possibility that as adults, people may have more than one sexual partner; and inclusive LGBTQ lessons, like on transgender individuals and gender fluidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up until the vote, sex ed had been taught in Fremont schools to fifth and sixth graders since the 1980s, and to fourth graders since 2011. The board approved the update to sex ed in seventh through ninth grades — which they were essentially required to do to comply with the California Healthy Youth Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The majority of people here wanted to have sex education for fourth, fifth and sixth grade,” said school board member Larry Sweeney, who voted against the \u003ca href=\"https://www.boarddocs.com/ca/fremont/Board.nsf/public\">new sex ed instruction\u003c/a>. “We just couldn’t agree on the content so the consequence is now there’s no sex education for fourth, fifth and sixth grades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of parents, along with some teachers and current and former students, have flooded four Fremont Unified school board meetings in the past two months, deeply divided over how to teach students as young as fourth grade about sex and sexuality. Amid the dispute, some opponents and supporters have lodged accusations of racism, homophobia and transphobia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This curriculum strives to combat and confront things like sexual assault and bigotry,” said a supporter, parent Pallavi Somusetty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too much details for them to digest,” countered Sunitha Devi Gopalan, a parent opposing the new instruction. “It’s actually going to kill their innocence, that’s what I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leena Yin, a Fremont schools graduate who teaches sexual health in the East Bay, had presented to the board a petition with more than 1,000 signatures from students who supported the new sex ed curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that what is best for the students and what the students are asking for was ignored is the most frustrating part of this whole process,” Yin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11666223/fremont-ends-sex-ed-for-fourth-through-six-graders-after-curriculum-controversy\">Following the vote\u003c/a>, the school board said it would convene a panel of parents and experts to try to reach a consensus on a sex ed curriculum that respects the beliefs of parents and adheres to state standards for next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. congressman for the area, Rep. Ro Khanna, decried the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The repercussions of this are drastic: the board not only voted to reject CHYA compliant education but eliminated any sexual education for children at all,” he said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/RoKhannaUSA/posts/1725648827481420\">post on Facebook\u003c/a>. “Sex education is critical for the safety of individuals of all ages, and this policy will silence voices, put students in danger, and increase overall risk in our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reaching Compliance\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolled out in 2016, the \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2015/sex-ed-to-become-mandatory-in-grades-7-12-in-california/88248\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California Healthy Youth Act\u003c/span>\u003c/a> set some of the most progressive sex ed requirements in the country: The curriculum includes instruction on same-sex relationships and different gender identities, with additional lessons on consent and sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law makes sexual education a requirement starting in seventh grade. When sex ed is taught at earlier ages, the law requires those lessons follow state guidelines. That’s what Fremont Unified did when they drafted the new lesson plans for fourth through sixth grade, said Denise Herrmann, associate superintendent of instruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we used is the document that’s published by the state of California, that’s endorsed by pediatricians and by experts on puberty health and development, to help us make those grade level placements,” Herrmann said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School board members had appeared divided over the issue, too, with some seeming to lean toward supporting parental control and others stressing the need for comprehensive sex ed. Many of the board members expressed hope they could find a viable compromise, but as tensions had flared, that had seemed less and less likely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are elected by us, the parents in this room, not by social justice warriors, who aggressively promote their ideological agendas,” one parent, Tony Szu, told the school board at its April meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Bay Area school districts have had challenges implementing the new law, too: Last year, the nearby Cupertino Union School District backed off of making a \u003ca href=\"https://www.refinery29.com/2017/04/148151/cupertino-school-district-sex-ed-protest\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">similar update\u003c/span>\u003c/a> to its curriculum after a debate like the one in Fremont erupted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Very Inappropriate’?

His son, who is in fifth grade, was too young for these explicit details, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the stuff that they talk about is, in my opinion, very, very inappropriate,” Hsu said. “In fourth grade, they are going to start talking about erections, they are going to talk about wet dreams. In fifth grade, they actually talk about if the male and female have sexual intercourse then the penis is inserted into the vagina.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though parents could opt their kids out of the course, students can find out what is being taught, said Sylvia Wong, whose daughter is in sixth grade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She told me one day, ‘Mom, I know all these things already. Because kids who attended the class talk about things like, it’s so gross, that just took away my innocence,’” Wong said. “When I heard that I was really angry. Because you think that you can opt out and protect your child, and raise her up in a more traditional and conservative way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They even talk about love-making positions,” she added. “They talk about sexual intercourse, anal sex. These things, I’m even ashamed to talk about it. I’m 45 years old, I don’t want my 10-year-old girl to be involved in that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the new sex ed curriculum said talking about sex early can decrease sexual activity among young people. Pallavi Somusetty, who grew up attending Fremont public schools, said she wishes she had sex ed instruction earlier and she wants it for her children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sex ed happened two years too late for me” — two years, she said, after she got her period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lessons about consent, included in the new curriculum, came far too late for her best friend, who she said was sexually abused by a South Asian Fremont man in the 1990s. Somusetty said lessons about good touch and bad touch, far from stealing her friend’s innocence, might have protected it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t turn a blind eye to these things, just because a minority of parents, some from my own South Asian community, want to pretend that they don’t exist,” Somusetty said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Has Racism Entered the Debate?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The large majority of parents protesting the new sex ed curriculum were South Asian-American or Chinese-American. About 70 percent of students in the Fremont Unified School District are of Asian descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the debate has grown more heated, parent Annie He said she was “starting to fear (for) my family’s safety.” She said a post on a public forum about the sex ed instruction attacked “third world style people” for creating taboos about sex ed. As a Chinese immigrant, she said she felt it was a direct attack against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am highly educated,” Annie He said. She thinks racism has taken over the debate, and singled out South Asian-American and Chinese-American parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Annie He said they weren’t opposed to sex education. But they fear this curriculum teaches kids too much, too soon. “We just want to protect our children,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘I Wish Sex Ed Was Made Available to the Parents Here’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11659026\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11659026\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sameer Jha and his mother, Charmaine Hussain, at the Fremont Unified School District Board meeting \u003ccite>(Sandhya Dirks/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Another key part of the debate has been including topics about the LGBTQ community — like diverse sexual and gender identities — in the curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cadiversityconference.com/2018/norcal/bio-sameer-jha.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sameer Jha\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, 16, joined the board meetings with his mom to back inclusive sex ed instruction. Jha said he was bullied constantly in elementary and middle school in Fremont for being feminine and for acting and looking different. It wasn’t until after he left Fremont Unified, and started to commute to a private high school in Oakland, that he could come out to his parents and friends as queer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was very scary,” he said. “Being LGBTQ plus was seen as taboo and I was the first person to come out in my local South Asian community here in Fremont.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, his mother said she had a hard time with his identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had so many fears, so many biases,” Charmaine Hussain said. “There’s so much stigma in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Hussain is her son’s biggest cheerleader. As a Pakistani immigrant, she said she had to learn what it meant to be queer. Before her son came out, she said, “I didn’t even know that word existed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish sex ed was made available to the parents here,” she said. “I look at the sea of parents who are here in opposition because they’re so fearful of diversity and it makes me really realize how important what my son is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jha said one of the reasons the inclusive sex ed curriculum is so important is to have kids talk about sexuality — queer and otherwise. He said lessons like this may have prevented his being bullied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some parents opposed to the new curriculum said they didn’t want their kids to be taught about sexual and gender identity, while others said they didn’t want to exclude these topics but felt it was too early for their kids to learn about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Taft Ding said he worried about language in the curriculum telling fourth graders they get to decide who they are — echoing the concerns some parents had about lessons on transgender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To tell a girl, an innocent girl, that she is a boy, is evil,” Ding said. “It’s more than wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Salil Joshi said his objections had nothing to do with excluding the LGBTQ community — it’s the content matter that concerns him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the seventh grade there is a possibility that oral and anal sex may be discussed in class, I don’t understand why that is necessary,” Joshi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about this objection to the curriculum, Anthony Prickett, a former Fremont student who has returned to support the sex ed update said, “That is how queer people have sex.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Hate Group Involved?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A representative from \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Pacific Justice Institute\u003c/span>\u003c/a> (PJI), which has been labeled a hate group by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southern Poverty Law Center\u003c/span>\u003c/a> for its anti-gay rhetoric and support of gay conversion therapy, has joined some of the school board meetings\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PJI President Brad Dacus said his group got involved when a parent reached out to them with concerns over the new curriculum.

Controversial content included addressing the emotional aspects of sex and sexual activity; the possibility that as adults, people may have more than one sexual partner; and inclusive LGBTQ lessons, like on transgender individuals and gender fluidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up until the vote, sex ed had been taught in Fremont schools to fifth and sixth graders since the 1980s, and to fourth graders since 2011.

Amid the dispute, some opponents and supporters have lodged accusations of racism, homophobia and transphobia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This curriculum strives to combat and confront things like sexual assault and bigotry,” said a supporter, parent Pallavi Somusetty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too much details for them to digest,” countered Sunitha Devi Gopalan, a parent opposing the new instruction. “It’s actually going to kill their innocence, that’s what I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leena Yin, a Fremont schools graduate who teaches sexual health in the East Bay, had presented to the board a petition with more than 1,000 signatures from students who supported the new sex ed curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that what is best for the students and what the students are asking for was ignored is the most frustrating part of this whole process,” Yin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11666223/fremont-ends-sex-ed-for-fourth-through-six-graders-after-curriculum-controversy\">Following the vote\u003c/a>, the school board said it would convene a panel of parents and experts to try to reach a consensus on a sex ed curriculum that respects the beliefs of parents and adheres to state standards for next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. congressman for the area, Rep. Ro Khanna, decried the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The repercussions of this are drastic: the board not only voted to reject CHYA compliant education but eliminated any sexual education for children at all,” he said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/RoKhannaUSA/posts/1725648827481420\">post on Facebook\u003c/a>. “Sex education is critical for the safety of individuals of all ages, and this policy will silence voices, put students in danger, and increase overall risk in our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reaching Compliance\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolled out in 2016, the \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2015/sex-ed-to-become-mandatory-in-grades-7-12-in-california/88248\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California Healthy Youth Act\u003c/span>\u003c/a> set some of the most progressive sex ed requirements in the country: The curriculum includes instruction on same-sex relationships and different gender identities, with additional lessons on consent and sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law makes sexual education a requirement starting in seventh grade. When sex ed is taught at earlier ages, the law requires those lessons follow state guidelines. That’s what Fremont Unified did when they drafted the new lesson plans for fourth through sixth grade, said Denise Herrmann, associate superintendent of instruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we used is the document that’s published by the state of California, that’s endorsed by pediatricians and by experts on puberty health and development, to help us make those grade level placements,” Herrmann said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School board members had appeared divided over the issue, too, with some seeming to lean toward supporting parental control and others stressing the need for comprehensive sex ed. Many of the board members expressed hope they could find a viable compromise, but as tensions had flared, that had seemed less and less likely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are elected by us, the parents in this room, not by social justice warriors, who aggressively promote their ideological agendas,” one parent, Tony Szu, told the school board at its April meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Bay Area school districts have had challenges implementing the new law, too: Last year, the nearby Cupertino Union School District backed off of making a \u003ca href=\"https://www.refinery29.com/2017/04/148151/cupertino-school-district-sex-ed-protest\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">similar update\u003c/span>\u003c/a> to its curriculum after a debate like the one in Fremont erupted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Very Inappropriate’?

His son, who is in fifth grade, was too young for these explicit details, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the stuff that they talk about is, in my opinion, very, very inappropriate,” Hsu said. “In fourth grade, they are going to start talking about erections, they are going to talk about wet dreams. In fifth grade, they actually talk about if the male and female have sexual intercourse then the penis is inserted into the vagina.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though parents could opt their kids out of the course, students can find out what is being taught, said Sylvia Wong, whose daughter is in sixth grade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She told me one day, ‘Mom, I know all these things already. Because kids who attended the class talk about things like, it’s so gross, that just took away my innocence,’” Wong said. “When I heard that I was really angry. Because you think that you can opt out and protect your child, and raise her up in a more traditional and conservative way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They even talk about love-making positions,” she added. “They talk about sexual intercourse, anal sex. These things, I’m even ashamed to talk about it. I’m 45 years old, I don’t want my 10-year-old girl to be involved in that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the new sex ed curriculum said talking about sex early can decrease sexual activity among young people. Pallavi Somusetty, who grew up attending Fremont public schools, said she wishes she had sex ed instruction earlier and she wants it for her children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sex ed happened two years too late for me” — two years, she said, after she got her period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lessons about consent, included in the new curriculum, came far too late for her best friend, who she said was sexually abused by a South Asian Fremont man in the 1990s. Somusetty said lessons about good touch and bad touch, far from stealing her friend’s innocence, might have protected it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t turn a blind eye to these things, just because a minority of parents, some from my own South Asian community, want to pretend that they don’t exist,” Somusetty said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Has Racism Entered the Debate?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The large majority of parents protesting the new sex ed curriculum were South Asian-American or Chinese-American. About 70 percent of students in the Fremont Unified School District are of Asian descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the debate has grown more heated, parent Annie He said she was “starting to fear (for) my family’s safety.” She said a post on a public forum about the sex ed instruction attacked “third world style people” for creating taboos about sex ed. As a Chinese immigrant, she said she felt it was a direct attack against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am highly educated,” Annie He said. She thinks racism has taken over the debate, and singled out South Asian-American and Chinese-American parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Annie He said they weren’t opposed to sex education. But they fear this curriculum teaches kids too much, too soon. “We just want to protect our children,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘I Wish Sex Ed Was Made Available to the Parents Here’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11659026\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11659026\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sameer Jha and his mother, Charmaine Hussain, at the Fremont Unified School District Board meeting \u003ccite>(Sandhya Dirks/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Another key part of the debate has been including topics about the LGBTQ community — like diverse sexual and gender identities — in the curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cadiversityconference.com/2018/norcal/bio-sameer-jha.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sameer Jha\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, 16, joined the board meetings with his mom to back inclusive sex ed instruction. Jha said he was bullied constantly in elementary and middle school in Fremont for being feminine and for acting and looking different. It wasn’t until after he left Fremont Unified, and started to commute to a private high school in Oakland, that he could come out to his parents and friends as queer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was very scary,” he said. “Being LGBTQ plus was seen as taboo and I was the first person to come out in my local South Asian community here in Fremont.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, his mother said she had a hard time with his identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had so many fears, so many biases,” Charmaine Hussain said. “There’s so much stigma in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Hussain is her son’s biggest cheerleader. As a Pakistani immigrant, she said she had to learn what it meant to be queer. Before her son came out, she said, “I didn’t even know that word existed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish sex ed was made available to the parents here,” she said. “I look at the sea of parents who are here in opposition because they’re so fearful of diversity and it makes me really realize how important what my son is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jha said one of the reasons the inclusive sex ed curriculum is so important is to have kids talk about sexuality — queer and otherwise. He said lessons like this may have prevented his being bullied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some parents opposed to the new curriculum said they didn’t want their kids to be taught about sexual and gender identity, while others said they didn’t want to exclude these topics but felt it was too early for their kids to learn about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Taft Ding said he worried about language in the curriculum telling fourth graders they get to decide who they are — echoing the concerns some parents had about lessons on transgender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To tell a girl, an innocent girl, that she is a boy, is evil,” Ding said. “It’s more than wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Salil Joshi said his objections had nothing to do with excluding the LGBTQ community — it’s the content matter that concerns him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the seventh grade there is a possibility that oral and anal sex may be discussed in class, I don’t understand why that is necessary,” Joshi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about this objection to the curriculum, Anthony Prickett, a former Fremont student who has returned to support the sex ed update said, “That is how queer people have sex.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Hate Group Involved?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A representative from \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Pacific Justice Institute\u003c/span>\u003c/a> (PJI), which has been labeled a hate group by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southern Poverty Law Center\u003c/span>\u003c/a> for its anti-gay rhetoric and support of gay conversion therapy, has joined some of the school board meetings\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PJI President Brad Dacus said his group got involved when a parent reached out to them with concerns over the new curriculum.

Several bills pending in the California Legislature would set aside resources for mental health care at the state’s public colleges and universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mental health advocates say on-campus care is especially important because people often first experience psychological problems during their young adult years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s so much the age when serious mental illness manifests itself, and here we have these institutions that could absolutely be identifying this early on,” said Deborah Anderluh, a spokesperson for the Steinberg Institute, which lobbies for more funding for mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only eight of the Cal State system’s 23 campuses meet the standard of one counselor per 1,000 to 1,500 students set by the International Association of Counseling Services — the national accreditor for campus counseling centers — according to a survey by the student association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many community colleges don’t have a counseling center at all, or rely on graduate student interns to provide care.

But she wanted to go into politics. And the polarized atmosphere that accompanied President Trump’s election exacerbated the social pressures she was already experiencing as a Muslim woman, Ansari said. \"I was having this identity crisis and feeling really threatened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until starting on-campus therapy, Ansari said, that she realized she wasn’t the only one dealing with those challenges. Her grades improved, and she took on more responsibility in student government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she recommended the campus counseling center to a friend who was grieving after a death in the family, said Ansari, the friend couldn’t get an appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center staff said, “‘We’re all filled up; can you call back in two weeks?’” Ansari said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are considering a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB968\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> to ease that backlog by requiring public campuses to have one full-time counselor for every 1,500 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve put a lot of emphasis on how to get students to graduate on time,” state Sen. Richard Pan, a Sacramento Democrat and the bill’s author, told CALmatters. “One of the barriers is mental health issues, and we should be helping [students] overcome them. Otherwise, we’re not maximizing our investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We see PTSD, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are the two that really eat up our kids.'\u003ccite>Peg Scott, American River College psychology professor\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>CSU and the community colleges would have to hire hundreds of new counselors to meet the ratio Pan is proposing, according to a legislative analysis. The community college system has more than 7,000 students for every counselor systemwide, according to the analysis, while CSU has more than 2,000. Staffing at the University of California is more robust, with about 1,100 students per counselor overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the university systems has taken a position on the bill. But Denise Bevly, CSU’s director of wellness, questioned whether mandating staff levels for counselors was the best way to improve care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One-on-one counseling may not be it for all students,” she said. Some issues might be better addressed through prevention and early intervention such as “a stress-management workshop, or a peer counseling group, or a yoga class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still a gap, if we’re honest,” between the increasing demand for counseling services and the supply, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The schools are doing what they can with the resources they have, she added. In June, the university will start training a few faculty and staff from each campus to be “wellness ambassadors.” They’ll be able to direct students who are struggling with mental health or financial pressures to the right campus programs, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pan’s legislation may mean the most change for community colleges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665552\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg\" alt=\"American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health.\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11665552\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-160x118.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1020x750.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1200x882.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1180x867.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-960x706.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-240x176.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-375x276.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-520x382.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a 2016 \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/NCHA-II-SPRING-2016-HSACCC-REFERENCE-GROUP-DATA-REPORT-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">survey\u003c/a> of 10 California community colleges, more than half of students said they had felt overwhelming anxiety at some time in the past year, with 39 percent saying they had been so depressed it was hard to function. One in 10 said they had seriously considered suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the Legislature budgeted $4.5 million for new mental health programs at community colleges — but only 15 of the state’s 114 colleges will receive the competitive grants of up to $300,000 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American River College psychology professor Peg Scott says every week, two to three students approach her with mental health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see PTSD, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are the two that really eat up our kids,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no counseling center at her Sacramento County community college, which has two nurses for more than 30,000 students. So Scott refers students to a county crisis center several miles away. The center provides transportation, Scott says, but it’s just not practical for her to send them every student who needs help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students need somewhere on campus to go when they have a panic attack or are just having a really bad day,” Scott said. “Finals are coming up and they need support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has a dedicated funding source for mental health programs: In 2004, voters passed Proposition 63, a 1 percent tax on incomes of more than $1 million a year. Counties can decide how to use most of the money, and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.auditor.ca.gov/pdfs/reports/2017-117.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">recent state audit\u003c/a> found that hundreds of millions have gone unspent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers want the state to set priorities for how counties should spend those funds. Under a bipartisan \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1004\" target=\"_blank\">measure\u003c/a> also pending in the Legislature, counties would have to use some of the money for one of three types of mental health programs, including college counseling, or justify to the state why they did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2933\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> would require that every county social-services agency have a liaison to help professors like Scott send students for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s last major effort to upgrade college counseling failed in 2016, when Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have set up a campus mental health trust fund, citing its lack of a specific price tag or funding source. But Proposition 63 has had some effect. UC, CSU and community colleges were all able to use some of its proceeds to launch campaigns to raise awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And students say it’s become easier to talk about mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel like there’s more of an open discussion of it,” said Courtney Cooper, president of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. “I had a panic attack before class the other day ... and this other girl was like, ‘Oh, I deal with anxiety, too.’ I didn’t feel like I was the only one or that anyone in class was going to judge me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students on a number of campuses have started mental health conferences and formed chapters of \u003ca href=\"http://www.activeminds.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Active Minds\u003c/a>, a student-run advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott’s students decided not to wait for their college to provide counseling.

Staffing at the University of California is more robust, with about 1,100 students per counselor overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the university systems has taken a position on the bill. But Denise Bevly, CSU’s director of wellness, questioned whether mandating staff levels for counselors was the best way to improve care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One-on-one counseling may not be it for all students,” she said. Some issues might be better addressed through prevention and early intervention such as “a stress-management workshop, or a peer counseling group, or a yoga class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still a gap, if we’re honest,” between the increasing demand for counseling services and the supply, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The schools are doing what they can with the resources they have, she added. In June, the university will start training a few faculty and staff from each campus to be “wellness ambassadors.” They’ll be able to direct students who are struggling with mental health or financial pressures to the right campus programs, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pan’s legislation may mean the most change for community colleges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665552\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg\" alt=\"American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health.\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11665552\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-160x118.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1020x750.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1200x882.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1180x867.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-960x706.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-240x176.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-375x276.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-520x382.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a 2016 \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/NCHA-II-SPRING-2016-HSACCC-REFERENCE-GROUP-DATA-REPORT-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">survey\u003c/a> of 10 California community colleges, more than half of students said they had felt overwhelming anxiety at some time in the past year, with 39 percent saying they had been so depressed it was hard to function. One in 10 said they had seriously considered suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the Legislature budgeted $4.5 million for new mental health programs at community colleges — but only 15 of the state’s 114 colleges will receive the competitive grants of up to $300,000 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American River College psychology professor Peg Scott says every week, two to three students approach her with mental health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see PTSD, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are the two that really eat up our kids,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no counseling center at her Sacramento County community college, which has two nurses for more than 30,000 students. So Scott refers students to a county crisis center several miles away. The center provides transportation, Scott says, but it’s just not practical for her to send them every student who needs help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students need somewhere on campus to go when they have a panic attack or are just having a really bad day,” Scott said. “Finals are coming up and they need support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has a dedicated funding source for mental health programs: In 2004, voters passed Proposition 63, a 1 percent tax on incomes of more than $1 million a year. Counties can decide how to use most of the money, and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.auditor.ca.gov/pdfs/reports/2017-117.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">recent state audit\u003c/a> found that hundreds of millions have gone unspent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers want the state to set priorities for how counties should spend those funds. Under a bipartisan \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1004\" target=\"_blank\">measure\u003c/a> also pending in the Legislature, counties would have to use some of the money for one of three types of mental health programs, including college counseling, or justify to the state why they did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2933\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> would require that every county social-services agency have a liaison to help professors like Scott send students for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s last major effort to upgrade college counseling failed in 2016, when Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have set up a campus mental health trust fund, citing its lack of a specific price tag or funding source. But Proposition 63 has had some effect. UC, CSU and community colleges were all able to use some of its proceeds to launch campaigns to raise awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And students say it’s become easier to talk about mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel like there’s more of an open discussion of it,” said Courtney Cooper, president of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. “I had a panic attack before class the other day ... and this other girl was like, ‘Oh, I deal with anxiety, too.’ I didn’t feel like I was the only one or that anyone in class was going to judge me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students on a number of campuses have started mental health conferences and formed chapters of \u003ca href=\"http://www.activeminds.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Active Minds\u003c/a>, a student-run advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott’s students decided not to wait for their college to provide counseling. They’re partnering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to create peer support groups for struggling students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need is there, and our students are so forward-looking that they recognize it,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I would usually take turns either sleeping on the old mattress that was there, or I slept on the concrete floor that was piled on with a bunch of blankets. Even though there was like many blankets you could still feel the hard floor on your back. Since there was no electricity or no actual windows you didn’t know the time of day.

She even failed a couple of semesters. She was also ashamed of her living situation, and that was getting to her. She was starting to spiral into depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was scared that people wouldn’t understand or would just like tease me for it. I would stare at people and just see how they would smile and laugh and just like not have like a single care in the world. And I was just like, ‘Why was it me that had to deal with all this?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, when it felt like things couldn’t get worse, Jennifer’s mom was hospitalized with septicemia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Septicemia is a condition where there is an infection somewhere in your body that is not treated,” Jennifer explains. “So that infection starts spreading out and gets even more serious when it gets into your bloodstream.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her mother going to the hospital hit Jennifer hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought she wasn’t going to make it. Like all of these ideas just started flashing through my head like, ‘This could be like the last time I see her.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, her father slowly started to drift away from the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He would stay out long nights, like drinking, trying to cope with the situation,” Jennifer says. “And that just kind of led me into like a deeper depression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer and her family endured living in the garage behind their old house for nearly two years. But early in the morning one day, they got a call. Their application to rent a beautiful three-bedroom house was accepted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Jennifer’s taking online courses to make up for the classes she failed a few years back. If she passes them, she’ll graduate high school in June. Her mother’s health is much better now, and her father is a big part of their family again. In the future, she says, she wants to be a journalist, an animator or a property owner — so she can give folks like her family a place to live, she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reflecting on the years living in the garage, Jennifer says she has learned a lot of lessons. One, she says, is to always stay positive toward people, no matter how they treat you. Another lesson is to not take things for granted. Especially family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m grateful for the family I have. Because no matter the situation that happened or the things that we went through, we stayed together in a way.” she says. “Yeah, they can’t give you everything in the world, but they wish they could. And that’s what’s important.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He was going to sell the house and told the family they had three months to leave. If they weren’t out in three months, the landlord said he’d call the sheriff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer was stunned. “I felt the world go silent in my head. All these thoughts kind of flashed through, like ‘what’re we going to do? Where are we going to go?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two weeks later, the landlord returned with a proposal: If Jennifer’s father fixed up the house for free, the family could live in the garage behind the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this wasn’t a generous offer. Jennifer says the garage was basically uninhabitable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The floor was kind of this old concrete. It was like a dark-gray brown color,” Jennifer recalls. “No matter how much you washed it, it wouldn’t go away. I would usually take turns either sleeping on the old mattress that was there, or I slept on the concrete floor that was piled on with a bunch of blankets. Even though there was like many blankets you could still feel the hard floor on your back. Since there was no electricity or no actual windows you didn’t know the time of day. It was so dark that if you would extend your hand out and just stare at it, you couldn’t even see the outline of your hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/2018/04/18/youth-takeover-of-kqed-news-starts-april-23/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Youth Takeover of KQED News\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/2018/04/18/youth-takeover-of-kqed-news-starts-april-23/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/04/Youth-Takeover-image-2.png\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Youth are taking over KQED!

She even failed a couple of semesters. She was also ashamed of her living situation, and that was getting to her. She was starting to spiral into depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was scared that people wouldn’t understand or would just like tease me for it. I would stare at people and just see how they would smile and laugh and just like not have like a single care in the world. And I was just like, ‘Why was it me that had to deal with all this?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, when it felt like things couldn’t get worse, Jennifer’s mom was hospitalized with septicemia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Septicemia is a condition where there is an infection somewhere in your body that is not treated,” Jennifer explains. “So that infection starts spreading out and gets even more serious when it gets into your bloodstream.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her mother going to the hospital hit Jennifer hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought she wasn’t going to make it. Like all of these ideas just started flashing through my head like, ‘This could be like the last time I see her.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, her father slowly started to drift away from the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He would stay out long nights, like drinking, trying to cope with the situation,” Jennifer says. “And that just kind of led me into like a deeper depression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer and her family endured living in the garage behind their old house for nearly two years. But early in the morning one day, they got a call. Their application to rent a beautiful three-bedroom house was accepted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Jennifer’s taking online courses to make up for the classes she failed a few years back. If she passes them, she’ll graduate high school in June. Her mother’s health is much better now, and her father is a big part of their family again. In the future, she says, she wants to be a journalist, an animator or a property owner — so she can give folks like her family a place to live, she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reflecting on the years living in the garage, Jennifer says she has learned a lot of lessons. One, she says, is to always stay positive toward people, no matter how they treat you. Another lesson is to not take things for granted. Especially family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m grateful for the family I have. Because no matter the situation that happened or the things that we went through, we stayed together in a way.” she says. “Yeah, they can’t give you everything in the world, but they wish they could. And that’s what’s important.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We went to a women’s shelter. We never brought it up or talked about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mom was about my age now when she had me. We lived in Oakland, and when I was about four or five, our home was vandalized. Someone came in and sprayed graffiti. We lived in a really tough neighborhood in Oakland. So she felt like it wasn’t a safe environment to spend another night in. So she made a couple of phone calls, and we ended up at a women’s shelter somewhere in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a little bit of my interview with my mom about that time:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cb>Tyrius Ammons\u003c/b>: So [do] you want to say what was going through your head while you were there [at the women’s shelter]?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Akisha Ammons\u003c/b>: What was going through my head was ‘what could I have done to have avoided being in that situation?’ Just being able to keep myself with my head up and stay focused and not get too distracted. Or [fall] into a state of depression or feeling as if I was defeated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Tyrius\u003c/b>: How did it affect me? Were you worried about … putting any mental strain upon me?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Akisha\u003c/b>: At the time that was not my concern. I was very young when I had you … At that time, all I could think of was our well-being. And keeping us safe.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The shelter was a really big house. I remember the first time I watched Pocahontas was at that house. And I remember there was a old African-American guy and he was really nice. And when I got older, like I can’t really forget the guy’s face and I can’t forget the office, because … I couldn’t go in there. I think at the time my mom was at work, so they were taking care of me while I was there. I remember a lot of those little things. I can’t forget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, we ended up moving to Richmond. I’m happy she did that because the part of Oakland where I grew up as a kid was very gang infested. There were a lot of unhealthy things for a young man growing up. It was a really good thing that my mom got us out of the ghetto. I could have ended up in a different situation. I might have been in a gang or I might have been shot. I mean, [because of] selling drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665123\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 301px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11665123\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-160x160.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-240x240.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-375x375.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-520x520.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A portrait of Tyrius by his classmate, Jennifer, who tells her story about being homeless on this week’s Youth Takeover edition of The California Report Magazine. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Tyrius Ammons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Instead, I’m about to graduate high school.

We went to a women’s shelter. We never brought it up or talked about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mom was about my age now when she had me. We lived in Oakland, and when I was about four or five, our home was vandalized. Someone came in and sprayed graffiti. We lived in a really tough neighborhood in Oakland. So she felt like it wasn’t a safe environment to spend another night in. So she made a couple of phone calls, and we ended up at a women’s shelter somewhere in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a little bit of my interview with my mom about that time:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cb>Tyrius Ammons\u003c/b>: So [do] you want to say what was going through your head while you were there [at the women’s shelter]?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Akisha Ammons\u003c/b>: What was going through my head was ‘what could I have done to have avoided being in that situation?’ Just being able to keep myself with my head up and stay focused and not get too distracted. Or [fall] into a state of depression or feeling as if I was defeated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Tyrius\u003c/b>: How did it affect me? Were you worried about … putting any mental strain upon me?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Akisha\u003c/b>: At the time that was not my concern. I was very young when I had you … At that time, all I could think of was our well-being. And keeping us safe.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The shelter was a really big house. I remember the first time I watched Pocahontas was at that house. And I remember there was a old African-American guy and he was really nice. And when I got older, like I can’t really forget the guy’s face and I can’t forget the office, because … I couldn’t go in there. I think at the time my mom was at work, so they were taking care of me while I was there. I remember a lot of those little things. I can’t forget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, we ended up moving to Richmond. I’m happy she did that because the part of Oakland where I grew up as a kid was very gang infested. There were a lot of unhealthy things for a young man growing up. It was a really good thing that my mom got us out of the ghetto. I could have ended up in a different situation. I might have been in a gang or I might have been shot. I mean, [because of] selling drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665123\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 301px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11665123\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-160x160.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-240x240.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-375x375.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-520x520.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30616_Drawing_of_Tyrius-qut-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A portrait of Tyrius by his classmate, Jennifer, who tells her story about being homeless on this week’s Youth Takeover edition of The California Report Magazine. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Tyrius Ammons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Instead, I’m about to graduate high school.

"content": "\u003cp>\"I will never be fired,\" professor Randa Jarrar taunted critics after she blasted Barbara Bush as a racist not an hour after the former first lady's death was announced last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the president of California State University, Fresno, has confirmed that she will keep her job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After reviewing the facts, \"the university does not have justification to support taking any disciplinary action,\" President Joseph Castro said \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnostatenews.com/2018/04/24/president-joseph-i-castro-letter-on-conclusion-of-review-regarding-professor/\">in a statement\u003c/a> Tuesday. \"Professor Jarrar did not violate any CSU or university policies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jgm41/status/986388257150787584\">a family spokesman announced Bush's death\u003c/a> on April 17, Jarrar took to Twitter make clear her views on the woman who was wife of one president and mother of another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal.
