She said she’s worried that the current investigation will instead be used to silence Muslim and Palestinian kids in Berkeley schools — a number of whom have reported incidents of discrimination to the district, and even filed their own ongoing federal civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just really clear that BUSD is just being used really as a chess piece in a much, much broader agenda — a pro-Israel agenda,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The federal government’s choice to let those social support policies expire led to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbpp.org/research/poverty-and-inequality/expiration-of-pandemic-relief-led-to-record-increases-in-poverty\">spike in poverty\u003c/a> nationwide, especially for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stasia Hansen, research and policy director with the East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy, said state and local governments must invest public dollars to make housing more affordable and ensure that employers in industries where wage theft is common pay workers what they are owed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Too many East Bay workers are trapped in poverty while working full-time. That’s honestly a policy failure; it’s not an accident.

A 2018 study by the Prison Policy Initiative found 4% of formerly incarcerated people held a college degree, compared to 29% of the U.S. population. The report cited barriers, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11962706/program-offering-pell-grants-to-incarcerated-people-in-heavy-demand-in-california\">financial aid eligibility\u003c/a> and discriminatory admissions practices.

He has faced legal limbo for years over whether he should be tried as an adult for a violent crime he is accused of committing when he was a minor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that uncertainty and the challenges of incarceration, he said education has given him a sanctuary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t let these walls trap me in,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

He was an A+ student,” said Victoria Robinson, a senior lecturer in ethnic studies at UC Berkeley. “He’s thirsty for education. You can’t give him enough material…to the point where the syllabus wasn’t enough. He just wants to keep learning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a transformative move, Robinson flipped the classroom dynamic. Instead of Javier joining remotely, she brought the classroom to him — teaching from inside the juvenile hall while students tuned in via Zoom.

At first, they had questions, but ultimately, they fully supported the arrangement. It also buoyed Jaiver, who said he sometimes faced pushback from juvenile hall staff questioning whether he was really receiving a UC Berkeley education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Javier’s trajectory is uncommon, especially given the disparity in college achievement for formerly incarcerated adults. A 2018 study by the Prison Policy Initiative found 4% of formerly incarcerated people held a college degree, compared to 29% of the U.S. population. The report cited barriers, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11962706/program-offering-pell-grants-to-incarcerated-people-in-heavy-demand-in-california\">financial aid eligibility\u003c/a> and discriminatory admissions practices. Those who complete a degree beyond high school may face licensing restrictions for certain careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The success of students like Javier has already made a cultural shift in Alameda County’s Juvenile Hall, with more students eager to pursue higher education, said Lucia Moritz, executive director of student programs at the Alameda County Office of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Javier] mentors other students,” Moritz said. “There’s been a lot of youth who will say, like, he’s the one who motivated me to step up my work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As graduation nears, Javier wants to attend law school because of his familiarity with the juvenile justice system. He has faced legal limbo for years over whether he should be tried as an adult for a violent crime he is accused of committing when he was a minor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that uncertainty and the challenges of incarceration, he said education has given him a sanctuary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t let these walls trap me in,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
