His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

She approaches race and equity not as a beat, but as a fundamental lens for all investigative and explanatory reporting.\r\n\r\nSandhya covered policing, housing, social justice movements, and the shifting demographics of cities and suburbs.\r\n\r\nShe was the creator and co-host of the podcast American Suburb, about the transformation of suburbia into the most diverse space in American life. She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

"content": "\u003cp>In 1993, former KQED reporter Harry Lin visited Fremont High School in Oakland to see how students were using the latest technologies. Here’s an excerpt of what Lin first reported:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“MTV, Nintendo, virtual reality games. It’s the kids, not the grandparents who program the VCR. Kids carry pagers, even when their parents don’t. They seem to be plugged in and wired all the time, everywhere.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plugged in and wired all the time. But Lin also wondered if that was enough to help students at the time think about a future where they could be the creators of technology. At least one teacher in the piece remarked that he felt students had a surface understanding of technology. \u003cem>“They know what video games are … MTV. You get about 3 seconds of attention, and then they move on.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I decided to go back to Fremont High to see if anything has changed, and I found that the school almost feels like reporter Harry Lin described it 25 years ago:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“There’s a wrought-iron fence encircling the school here in the working-class flatlands of East Oakland,” remarked Lin in his story. “Aggressively plain buildings and a smattering of temporary trailers turned permanent classrooms hunker down inside the encampment. The green windbreakers the guards wear say “security” across the back. Armed with walkie talkies, they patrol the fences’ gates … the grounds’ walkways … the buildings’ stairwells.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trailers are gone, but the wrought-iron fence is still there, and so are the security guards. The day before my visit, the school was on lockdown. A student brought a gun to school. Media studies teacher Jasmene Miranda is doing her best to get things back to normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“OK, I’m going to lock this door so that we don’t have any more interruptions!” Miranda yells. She’s been planning this day for months — a special demo for her Media Academy class. It’s a hackathon — where her students will come up with ways to use augmented and virtual reality to improve their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Francisco Pantaleon, 18, quickly finishes up a game of Fortnite with his friends and directs his attention to Miranda and a presenter from a virtual reality company. The idea of virtual reality excites him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11666039\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11666039\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/FremontStudentsWorking-e1525383096344.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students in the Media Academy at Fremont High School in East Oakland work on a solution for a community problem using virtual reality. \u003ccite>(Tonya Mosley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Well, the thing is real life kinda sometimes stinks sometimes, and we need to get away and have a little bit of fun time,” Pantaleon says with a smile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11666036\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11666036\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/FranciscoPic-e1525383257847.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Francisco Pantaleon, 18, wants to be a video game designer one day. \u003ccite>(Tonya Mosley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Pantaleon wants to be a video game designer one day.

What can we be on the back end? We can be the creators,” Miranda says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a thought process Miranda wishes she had when she was a student here in ‘93. When KQED visited Fremont High that same year, the school’s Media Academy was hailed as a program teaching kids about the latest in technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you think of what was available back then, we didn’t really have access to that,” Miranda says. “There was a mention of VR, and I do remember the discussions back then. I can’t remember if it was SEGA or Nintendo, there was a glove, the Power Glove!

But in light of the flood of technological advances and startup culture in the Silicon Valley that followed, Miranda wonders if they were taught the right thing. She listened to that old KQED story and felt an unexpected wave of emotion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Relistening to the original, I laughed, and then I was sad because I don’t think that things have changed much,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>They Live in a Real World\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11666034\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 445px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11666034\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Jasmene1993.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"445\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Jasmene1993.jpg 445w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Jasmene1993-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Jasmene1993-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Jasmene1993-375x249.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teacher and Fremont High school alumna Jasmene Miranda and her classmates back in 1993. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Jasmene Miranda)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Here’s how Lin described the students’ lives in 1993:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“These students live in a real, as well as the virtual world. That real world harbors family money problems, racial discrimination and impoverished schools.” Teacher Steve O’Donahue: “Most of the students here don’t have personal computers at home, they don’t have modems … they don’t have the basic tools to access the knowledge, the superhighway.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miranda says her students today still live in that real world. Fremont High struggles with attendance problems and low test scores. And Miranda knows the reasons behind those numbers. These students deal with all sorts of things outside of school, like violence and poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, we have computers, but the amount of students in my academy that actually have access to the internet at home is not as high as you would think it is. So they’re using their cellphone on campus using our Wi-Fi signal, and sometimes they may have a cellphone, but that doesn’t mean that their cellphone is actually operating,” Miranda says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most eager students in the piece from 1993 was Benjamin Brooks. Miranda helped me track him down through Facebook. KQED’s Lin said Brooks didn’t have a cellphone, but he was a tech head nonetheless. Here’s Brooks, 17, back then:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“Technology is just to make everything easier, you know. Computers are an easier way of filing and storing information. So I think it’s you know, just another stair step. Who knows what we’ll be able to do later on.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To hear my voice, being so young. It really took me back,” Brooks laughed during a recent phone conversation. Brooks now lives in Sacramento and works as a program technician for the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. And he’s happy with what he does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when I asked if it had ever crossed his mind back then, the possibility that he or his classmates or friends could be a part of creating technology in Silicon Valley, he got really quiet, and then said this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where I grew up at, I represent the area of people where we are just going to consume. So we get information, enough information so that we can perpetually consume and teach our kids how to consume, and the curriculum that we have leads to us consuming, not inventing and creating. And it’s a cog in the machine that keeps certain things in play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks says he’s proud that Jasmene Miranda is getting kids to think of themselves as more than passive consumers. And Miranda says, while all of her students may not make the connections right now, she believes by planting the seeds, one day, they will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11666048\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11666048\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/JasmeneVR-e1525384203503.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teacher Jasmene Miranda working with a student on a virtual reality project. \u003ccite>(Tonya Mosley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Maybe they’re in college, and they meet up with someone in their dorm room, and they decide they want to develop an app — and they create a company, and they make sure they hire more youth of Oakland, and they start listening to pitches like what they experieneced today,” Miranda says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just maybe — 25 years from now — we’ll be telling that story.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The green windbreakers the guards wear say “security” across the back. Armed with walkie talkies, they patrol the fences’ gates … the grounds’ walkways … the buildings’ stairwells.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That real world harbors family money problems, racial discrimination and impoverished schools.” Teacher Steve O’Donahue: “Most of the students here don’t have personal computers at home, they don’t have modems … they don’t have the basic tools to access the knowledge, the superhighway.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miranda says her students today still live in that real world. Fremont High struggles with attendance problems and low test scores. And Miranda knows the reasons behind those numbers. These students deal with all sorts of things outside of school, like violence and poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, we have computers, but the amount of students in my academy that actually have access to the internet at home is not as high as you would think it is. So they’re using their cellphone on campus using our Wi-Fi signal, and sometimes they may have a cellphone, but that doesn’t mean that their cellphone is actually operating,” Miranda says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most eager students in the piece from 1993 was Benjamin Brooks. Miranda helped me track him down through Facebook. KQED’s Lin said Brooks didn’t have a cellphone, but he was a tech head nonetheless. Here’s Brooks, 17, back then:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“Technology is just to make everything easier, you know. Computers are an easier way of filing and storing information. So I think it’s you know, just another stair step. Who knows what we’ll be able to do later on.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To hear my voice, being so young. It really took me back,” Brooks laughed during a recent phone conversation. Brooks now lives in Sacramento and works as a program technician for the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. And he’s happy with what he does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when I asked if it had ever crossed his mind back then, the possibility that he or his classmates or friends could be a part of creating technology in Silicon Valley, he got really quiet, and then said this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where I grew up at, I represent the area of people where we are just going to consume. So we get information, enough information so that we can perpetually consume and teach our kids how to consume, and the curriculum that we have leads to us consuming, not inventing and creating. And it’s a cog in the machine that keeps certain things in play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks says he’s proud that Jasmene Miranda is getting kids to think of themselves as more than passive consumers. And Miranda says, while all of her students may not make the connections right now, she believes by planting the seeds, one day, they will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11666048\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11666048\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/JasmeneVR-e1525384203503.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teacher Jasmene Miranda working with a student on a virtual reality project. \u003ccite>(Tonya Mosley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Maybe they’re in college, and they meet up with someone in their dorm room, and they decide they want to develop an app — and they create a company, and they make sure they hire more youth of Oakland, and they start listening to pitches like what they experieneced today,” Miranda says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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’?

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.

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. Dacus, who said PJI isn’t a hate group, told KQED that they are concerned with parental rights and freedom of speech and religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dacus said his group was monitoring the discussion and awaiting the school board’s decision.

She described her daughter as always wanting to try the experiments she learns in science class at home. “So imagine they are learning about oral sex and anal sex in classrooms, and then they are going out to experiment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it is precisely because kids have curious minds that they should be taught about sex by trained professionals, said Yasi Safinya-Davies, executive director of Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments, or \u003ca href=\"http://save-dv.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">SAVE\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, a Fremont-based nonprofit that provides support to victims of domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not a single parent in this room who knows what it’s like to grow up and have a curiosity about your body and type that into a Google search,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All kids now live in the age of the internet, which doesn’t teach consent, but is just a click away from porn, said Safinya-Davies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group works with a lot of young people who tell her, “We don’t have adults in our lives who are having earnest, open conversations about our relationships, about our sexuality,” she said. “We didn’t even know what consent was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a parent, she is sympathetic with the opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I absolutely understand the concern that parents have around this curriculum,” she said. “Because if you didn’t grow up learning about your sexuality, and certainly not in a comprehensive way, this is all new.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

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’?

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. Dacus, who said PJI isn’t a hate group, told KQED that they are concerned with parental rights and freedom of speech and religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dacus said his group was monitoring the discussion and awaiting the school board’s decision.

It beat out even that perennial concern, tuition costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal State Student Association President Maggie White said she’s not surprised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing wait times at counseling centers that are exceeding two or three weeks, people turned away after a few appointments because they’ve exceeded the maximum allotment, and students not feeling comfortable going to counselors because no one looks like them or reflects their experience,” White said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the stigma attached to mental health care fades, California students are increasingly clamoring for more on-campus services that can help them cope with anxiety, depression and the stresses of a contentious political climate and rising living expenses. 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. The University of California system is in the midst of a five-year hiring push to add counselors on its campuses, funded by student fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of college students seeking counseling on campuses nationwide grew five times faster than enrollment between 2009 and 2015, according to the Center for Collegiate Mental Health, a national consortium.

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.

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.

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. 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>",

"content": "\u003cp>Sneaking a cigarette in the school bathroom? How quaint. Today’s teens have taken to vaping, an alternative to smoking that’s so discreet they can do it without even leaving the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health and education officials across the country are raising alarms over wide underage use of e-cigarettes and other vaping products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The devices heat liquid into an inhalable vapor that’s sold in sugary flavors like mango and mint — and often with the addictive drug nicotine. They’re marketed to smokers as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes, but officials say they’re making their way to teens with surprising ease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new wave of smaller vapes has swept through schools in recent months, officials say, replacing bulkier e-cigarettes from the past. It’s now common in some schools to find students crowded into bathrooms to vape, or performing \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHw08q7VOUk\">vape tricks\u003c/a> in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen significant increases across the student body,” said Robert Keuther, principal at Marshfield High School on the south shore of Massachusetts. “This is not something specific to one group of kids. It’s across all of my grades, nine to 12. It’s all students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vaping devices are notoriously difficult to detect for schools, often leaving behind only a quick puff of vapor and a light fruity scent. Students get away with it in bathrooms, halls and even classrooms, where some say they exhale the vapor into their shirts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although buying e-cigarettes is illegal under age 18 — and some states have bumped the minimum age to 21 — students say they can buy them online or from older friends. Some say there are dozens available for sale in school hallways at any given time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rise of teen vaping has sparked concern among parents, politicians and federal health authorities, who on Tuesday announced a nationwide crackdown on underage sales of e-cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to retail stores as part of its new operation against illegal sales. It also requested marketing and design documents from the maker of the Juul, a popular vape product that is shaped like a flash drive. The agency says it’s looking into whether certain features are specifically appealing to young people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some schools have been inundated by the Juul, which dispenses a flavored vapor containing higher concentrations of nicotine than tobacco cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The device’s maker says it’s intended only for adults trying to quit smoking. Its website aims to block underage customers, and the company says it supports legislation to raise the minimum age for vaping products to 21 nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics say the Juul’s sweet flavors and stealthy design seem to be aimed at kids. In an April 18 \u003ca href=\"https://www.tobaccofreekids.org/assets/content/press_office/2018/2018_04_18_fda_juul.pdf\">letter\u003c/a> to the FDA, a coalition of medical and health groups called for a suspension of online sales until authorities create stronger rules against underage sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar measures have been backed by school leaders including Keuther, who oversees 1,300 students south of Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a reason why it’s marketed that way,” he said, referring to the Juul’s concealable design. “We wish there was a way to curb that, because the industry is clearly targeting younger kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many schools are pushing back with education campaigns against vaping. Health and gym classes feature new lessons on potential risks. Teachers are being trained on what to look for. Schools are producing online \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=netSMl7RrKc&feature=youtu.be\">videos\u003c/a> on the dangers of e-cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some schools, vaping penalties have been raised to an automatic suspension. Several in New Jersey now require drug tests for offenders, partly because vapes can dispense marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York’s Plainedge High School was among the first to install new bathroom sensors that can detect e-cigarette vapor and immediately alert administrators. Few students have been caught so far, but officials say that isn’t a sign of failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The truth of the matter is the kids see it, they know what it is — and it in itself is a deterrent,” said Edward Salina, superintendent of Plainedge Public Schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether schools’ efforts are making a broader difference has yet to be seen, though. Teen vaping decreased for the first time in 2016 after rapidly rising for years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Updated numbers are expected in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medical experts are still trying to understand the potential risks tied to vaping. Most agree that it’s safer than smoking traditional cigarettes, but little is known about long-term effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while research has found trace amounts of chemicals like formaldehyde in many e-cigarettes, it’s unclear whether they exist at levels that can cause health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students say that it’s better to be vaping than using cigarettes or other drugs. Cameron Uldricks says he vapes almost every day but has never smoked tobacco. And even though it landed him a suspension from his high school near Columbus, Ohio, the 17-year-old said he has no plans to cut back or quit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly they treat it like frigging cocaine,” said Uldricks, a sophomore at Worthington Kilbourne High School. “What would they rather have me do, smoke cigarettes or vape?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While high schools have typically faced the widest problems, some districts say it’s now spreading to middle schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Chickamauga City Schools in rural Georgia, officials instituted a three-day suspension for vaping this year after catching several students doing it at the middle school. Superintendent Melody Day said it’s still unclear whether the crackdown has worked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North of New York City, officials at South Orangetown Middle School hosted a forum for parents last month after starting to see some cases. Students caught vaping go through counseling on risky behaviors, which officials hope will halt any escalation to further drug use down the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ll do that after taking the risk here,” said Karen Tesik, principal at the middle school. “This is the age group that is the most at risk for taking that first step.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"ctx-subscribe-container ctx-personalization-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"ctx-social-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"ctx-article-root\">\u003c!-- -->\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Today’s teens have taken to vaping, an alternative to smoking that’s so discreet they can do it without even leaving the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health and education officials across the country are raising alarms over wide underage use of e-cigarettes and other vaping products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The devices heat liquid into an inhalable vapor that’s sold in sugary flavors like mango and mint — and often with the addictive drug nicotine. They’re marketed to smokers as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes, but officials say they’re making their way to teens with surprising ease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new wave of smaller vapes has swept through schools in recent months, officials say, replacing bulkier e-cigarettes from the past. It’s now common in some schools to find students crowded into bathrooms to vape, or performing \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHw08q7VOUk\">vape tricks\u003c/a> in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen significant increases across the student body,” said Robert Keuther, principal at Marshfield High School on the south shore of Massachusetts. “This is not something specific to one group of kids. It’s across all of my grades, nine to 12. It’s all students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Students get away with it in bathrooms, halls and even classrooms, where some say they exhale the vapor into their shirts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although buying e-cigarettes is illegal under age 18 — and some states have bumped the minimum age to 21 — students say they can buy them online or from older friends. Some say there are dozens available for sale in school hallways at any given time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rise of teen vaping has sparked concern among parents, politicians and federal health authorities, who on Tuesday announced a nationwide crackdown on underage sales of e-cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to retail stores as part of its new operation against illegal sales. It also requested marketing and design documents from the maker of the Juul, a popular vape product that is shaped like a flash drive. The agency says it’s looking into whether certain features are specifically appealing to young people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some schools have been inundated by the Juul, which dispenses a flavored vapor containing higher concentrations of nicotine than tobacco cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The device’s maker says it’s intended only for adults trying to quit smoking. Its website aims to block underage customers, and the company says it supports legislation to raise the minimum age for vaping products to 21 nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics say the Juul’s sweet flavors and stealthy design seem to be aimed at kids. In an April 18 \u003ca href=\"https://www.tobaccofreekids.org/assets/content/press_office/2018/2018_04_18_fda_juul.pdf\">letter\u003c/a> to the FDA, a coalition of medical and health groups called for a suspension of online sales until authorities create stronger rules against underage sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar measures have been backed by school leaders including Keuther, who oversees 1,300 students south of Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a reason why it’s marketed that way,” he said, referring to the Juul’s concealable design. “We wish there was a way to curb that, because the industry is clearly targeting younger kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many schools are pushing back with education campaigns against vaping. Health and gym classes feature new lessons on potential risks. Teachers are being trained on what to look for. Schools are producing online \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=netSMl7RrKc&feature=youtu.be\">videos\u003c/a> on the dangers of e-cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some schools, vaping penalties have been raised to an automatic suspension. Several in New Jersey now require drug tests for offenders, partly because vapes can dispense marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York’s Plainedge High School was among the first to install new bathroom sensors that can detect e-cigarette vapor and immediately alert administrators. Few students have been caught so far, but officials say that isn’t a sign of failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The truth of the matter is the kids see it, they know what it is — and it in itself is a deterrent,” said Edward Salina, superintendent of Plainedge Public Schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether schools’ efforts are making a broader difference has yet to be seen, though. Teen vaping decreased for the first time in 2016 after rapidly rising for years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Updated numbers are expected in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medical experts are still trying to understand the potential risks tied to vaping. Most agree that it’s safer than smoking traditional cigarettes, but little is known about long-term effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while research has found trace amounts of chemicals like formaldehyde in many e-cigarettes, it’s unclear whether they exist at levels that can cause health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students say that it’s better to be vaping than using cigarettes or other drugs. Cameron Uldricks says he vapes almost every day but has never smoked tobacco. And even though it landed him a suspension from his high school near Columbus, Ohio, the 17-year-old said he has no plans to cut back or quit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly they treat it like frigging cocaine,” said Uldricks, a sophomore at Worthington Kilbourne High School. “What would they rather have me do, smoke cigarettes or vape?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While high schools have typically faced the widest problems, some districts say it’s now spreading to middle schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Chickamauga City Schools in rural Georgia, officials instituted a three-day suspension for vaping this year after catching several students doing it at the middle school. Superintendent Melody Day said it’s still unclear whether the crackdown has worked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North of New York City, officials at South Orangetown Middle School hosted a forum for parents last month after starting to see some cases. Students caught vaping go through counseling on risky behaviors, which officials hope will halt any escalation to further drug use down the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ll do that after taking the risk here,” said Karen Tesik, principal at the middle school. “This is the age group that is the most at risk for taking that first step.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"ctx-subscribe-container ctx-personalization-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"ctx-social-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.

Just a few weeks ago, she put on a sparkly pink dress and went to prom — a quintessential high school experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But most of the time, Jennifer feels much, much older. She remembers a happy childhood with her older brothers and her parents. There were trips to Toys “R” Us, a comfortable home, and a lot of love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But her life started changing when her father’s construction company hit hard times. The family lost their home. And her parents had nowhere to turn for help. They’re both undocumented. That’s why we’re only using Jennifer’s first name for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Things got even worse, Jennifer says, during her sophomore year, when one day, their landlord pulled up to their house.

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.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>This week, the California Report Magazine has an 18-year-old co-host: Tyrius Ammons, a senior at Richmond High School. It’s part of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/2018/04/18/youth-takeover-of-kqed-news-starts-april-23/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Youth Takeover\u003c/a> week at KQED.

Getting young people on a show that’s been around for a long time gives it a new spice. And people get a little exposure to students and their lives, what they go through. It might not get all positive responses, but it may kickstart something very awesome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I not only get to guest co-host this week’s show, I also get to tell part of my own story. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I interviewed my mom Akisha Ammons for a segment my classmates and I produced about single mothers, for \u003ca href=\"https://humansofrichmondca.wordpress.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my journalism class at Richmond High\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mom never told me I couldn’t cry.

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.

Getting young people on a show that’s been around for a long time gives it a new spice. And people get a little exposure to students and their lives, what they go through. It might not get all positive responses, but it may kickstart something very awesome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I not only get to guest co-host this week’s show, I also get to tell part of my own story. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I interviewed my mom Akisha Ammons for a segment my classmates and I produced about single mothers, for \u003ca href=\"https://humansofrichmondca.wordpress.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my journalism class at Richmond High\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mom never told me I couldn’t cry. I didn’t have to grow up like that. She never told me not to cry, or to just suck it up. Showing emotions was easy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.

He’s currently working toward the Eagle Scout rank, the highest achievement in the Boy Scouts. When he first joined, however, he wasn’t too excited about the program. It took a meaningful friendship to draw him into the Boy Scouts. In the end, the friendships he made through the program gave him much more than an outdoor education.

He spends a lot of his free time on expeditions with the Boy Scouts. He’s currently working toward the Eagle Scout rank, the highest achievement in the Boy Scouts. When he first joined, however, he wasn’t too excited about the program. It took a meaningful friendship to draw him into the Boy Scouts. In the end, the friendships he made through the program gave him much more than an outdoor education. Lucas’ story is part of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/2018/04/18/youth-takeover-of-kqed-news-starts-april-23/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KQED’s Youth Takeover Week\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We all have objects, people or events that change who we are as a person.

When I first joined the Cub Scouts, I was shy, quiet and lonely. I didn’t talk to anyone, and didn’t like being there in general. Being forced to go there every week was hell for a 6 year old. It was like this for months, until one day a random friendly face invited me to play dodgeball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Little did I know it, but that one gesture would change my life forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11663054\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11663054\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"Lucas Tran (back row in sunglasses) and Scout Crew 216 canoe camping at Utica Reservoir in 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-800x530.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-1020x675.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-1200x795.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-1920x1271.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-1180x781.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-960x636.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-240x159.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-375x248.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image-520x344.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Lucas-Train-Boy-Scout-Crew-image.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lucas Tran (back row in sunglasses) and Scout Crew 216 canoe camping at Utica Reservoir in 2017. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Lucas Tran)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Andy took me under his wing.

California residents currently pay $12,630 in tuition and fees annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regents separately approved a 3.5 percent, or $978, tuition hike for out-of-state undergraduates in March, saying, however, that increase would be rescinded if more state funding is obtained. The increase puts tuition and fees for out-of-state undergraduates at nearly $42,000 next year, more than triple what California residents pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jerry Brown's proposed state budget allocates a fraction of what the university system needs to maintain its quality of education at a time of record-high enrollment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown proposed a 3 percent increase in base funding for the UC system in his 2018-19 budget plan, which was less than anticipated under a plan with the governor, UC officials say. Brown has urged university officials to \"live within their means.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano said Thursday that the UC \"appreciates the 3 percent increase\" but its goal is to secure $140 million in additional state funds by the time the final budget is approved in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given the momentum of UC advocacy efforts, and a reported state budget surplus that is billions of dollars over projections, UC is hopeful that increased state funding will eliminate the need for a tuition increase,\" Napolitano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lt. Gov.
