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 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.",

And it started in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Curious listener Shirley Yuen moved to Oakland six years ago and has seen sideshows only on the news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had to do a Wikipedia search after the news just to see what this is about. Why are people taking their cars out and doing all these crazy stunts?” asks Shirley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Shirley wants to know …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s up with sideshows? Why are they in Oakland? And how did crime become associated with them?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpjIy3rvfX4\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sideshow Beginnings\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The original sideshows were not dangerous or nefarious. They were pop-up parties — part car show, part block party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They first bubbled up in mall parking lots of Deep East Oakland in the 1980s, says Sean Kennedy, a multimedia producer and local hip-hop historian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems like it started when hip-hop first got out here,” Kennedy says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I meet him at the entrance to the Foods Co in Foothill Square. It’s so deep into East Oakland it is almost San Leandro. Kennedy says \u003cem>this\u003c/em> is where it all began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a carnival that used to exist right here in Foothill Square, because there was a skating rink right here,” he says. “All the people would come down here to the skating rink and the carnival. They would bring their best cars and just cruise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BiSRaXAnKGt/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy says that what many people think of as a sideshow these days, all doughnuts and destruction, was not the way it began. Back then, “no one did doughnuts or spun their cars.” It was just peacocking, showing off the cars that were the pride and joy of many — mostly male — residents. “That,” Kennedy says, “was the original sideshow of East Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People had cruised around in their souped-up Chevys before, but it was as if the introduction of the new music taught the cars to dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As sideshows spread, Kennedy says, they became a sort of cultural marketplace. People repped parties, hawked homemade fashion lines and shared the latest beats and music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was always firmly rooted in a sense of place, Kennedy says. “It’s in the soil. For some reason the air here in East Oakland breeds that kind of creativity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"line-height: 1.09091\">The Sideshow as Cultural Marketplace\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yakpasua Zazaboi documented sideshows across East Oakland for his documentary series “Sydewayz.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Zazaboi, sideshows were part craft fair, part improv performance, and always a place to catch the cultural zeitgeist. The sideshows, he says, were not just part of Oakland’s unique hyphy culture: They formed the space in which \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/djs_t8MSvfw?t=58\">hyphy\u003c/a> was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You would come out and you would really understand what is popular in Oakland,” Zazaboi says. A key part of that was the music. “I think for about three or four years straight, we used to hear this song by a group called 3X Krazy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3x Krazy- Keep It On The Real\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/elVWQn_b1-M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was just a baseline and it was so popular and would sound so good on really nice audio systems, it was almost like a sideshow theme,” Zazaboi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to name his pick for the theme of the sideshows, Sean Kennedy says there is really only one: Richie Rich’s sideshow song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that’s a classic when it comes to explaining the sideshow, in the early days,” says Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can hear the whole sideshow in Richie Rich’s deep and sonorous voice. “In Oakland, California,” he raps, “every Saturday night brothers be riding, straight-laced zeniths, drop-tops, buckets, high performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Music might have been the lifeblood of the sideshow but, according to Kennedy, the heart pumping that blood was the neighborhood’s deep-rooted car culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Car Culture and the Sideshow\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11668427\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11668427\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1020x1020.png\" alt=\"A car sitting outside A-1 Spring Service\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1020x1020.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-160x160.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-800x800.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1180x1180.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-960x960.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-240x240.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-375x375.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-520x520.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-32x32.png 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-50x50.png 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-64x64.png 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-96x96.png 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-128x128.png 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-150x150.png 150w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM.png 1196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A car sitting outside A-1 Spring Service \u003ccite>(@a1springservice/Instagram)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ruben Flores greets a customer whose car he has just modified at A-1 Spring Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was — and still is — the go-to place to bring your car for modifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flores, who went to Castlemont, the neighborhood high school, got the job straight out of school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The owner of the shop, he was losing a man, a mechanic, so he came down to the high school to ask about the auto shop program,” Flores says.

Those years have given him a passenger seat to car culture in Deep East Oakland. He confirms what Sean Kennedy told me — that in the beginning, it wasn’t about souping up cars to go fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was going lower,” Flores says. “Low and slow.” The best way to show off the beauty of your car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flores says his shop became known for fixing up cars in a signature style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What A-1 means, in the car culture, is the stance is higher in the front and lower in the back,” Flores says. “So they have that pointing-towards-the-moon type of look.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yakpasua Zazaboi says everyone knew about A-1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was the place to go,” he says. “People would say, I have my car sitting A-1.’ It was because of the name of the shop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time the sideshows began to change.

Zazaboi says it was when guys with cheap cars started doing doughnuts to get attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sean Kennedy says it was when the new built-for-speed Mustangs came on the market in the 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe it was the death of a young girl during a police chase after a sideshow got busted in the mid-’90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever the exact moment, the crackdown by Oakland police and the city were swift. New laws were introduced that criminalized sideshow spectators, you could be fined, even arrested, for just watching. Then came a 2005 ordinance, which allowed police to permanently confiscate any car directly involved in a sideshow. According to Zazaboi, that made it personal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their car is an extension of their ego,” Zazaboi says of sideshow participants. “You take away their car, you kill their ego, and that is exactly what they did out here in Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sean Kennedy says that response complicated the already tense relationship between police and the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Does that create an animosity to the police?” Kennedy asks. “It becomes a war at that point. And then it becomes a situation where the rebellion is, ‘We’re going to have sideshows anyway.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Kennedy and Zazaboi say that while local politicians criminalized the sideshow, local media demonized it, with story after story of violent, out-of-control youth taking over the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"East Oakland Sideshow Smack - Gun Falls Out\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/FfuzDz9XCxc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy admits that bad stuff did go down, and there was by necessity a kind of nomadic, extra-legal element to the sideshows. People brought guns and sold drugs; sometimes fights broke out. And yes, young men acted stupid. But he says all that was just as likely to happen at a Raiders game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy says despite all that, the sideshow did not breed criminal behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not about a car show,” he says. “At that point, it’s about arresting black youth in Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the sideshow made it easy to paint East Oakland youth into an already-made stereotype: “Young black kids who don’t have anything to do with their lives, out there playing around in these cars, carrying guns and selling drugs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify%3Auser%3Ad2ga1i8mr0izb1f4mhgc2p7an%3Aplaylist%3A0HccHh51NHruDrhD313Aca\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003ch3>Celebrating the Sideshow\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>What was lost in that narrative, Kennedy says, was the ingenuity of the sideshow: the mechanical skills it took to work on the cars, the driving skills it took to get them moving and dancing, the coordination to plan what are in essence the Bay Area’s first pop-up events. Long before pop-up events was even a term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy acknowledges his perspective has changed with age. Now that he has a few years on him, he is a little more weary of making cars spin like whirling dervishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As much as I love sideshows,” he says, “it’s a dangerous culture when it comes to spinning around a half-a-ton vehicle with no barriers and people standing there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is why Kennedy, among others, supported a push to legalize sideshows that gained some ground in the late 2000s. The suggestion was to bring sideshows out of the shadows and turn them into neighborhood street parties. They could even make money, proponents argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But opponents, like City Councilman Larry Reid, who represents Deep East Oakland, countered that it was folly for the city to sanction an illegal activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reid says the sideshows slowed down for a bit, but they seem to have picked up once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you ask Yakpasua Zazaboi, he will say what is happening now is not even a real sideshow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I break it down like this now,” Zazaboi says. “This is how you know it’s a sideshow. If there are clean cars and women out there, you might have a sideshow. If it’s a bunch of buckets and a whole bunch of dudes clowning around looking at each other — you do not have sideshow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The definition of just what makes a sideshow is constantly in flux. Every generation has its own version, just like every sideshow has people who say it is either a criminal act or a space for the creation of culture. Maybe, just maybe, there is a little bit of both, hanging out at the sideshow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\n",

Back then, “no one did doughnuts or spun their cars.” It was just peacocking, showing off the cars that were the pride and joy of many — mostly male — residents. “That,” Kennedy says, “was the original sideshow of East Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People had cruised around in their souped-up Chevys before, but it was as if the introduction of the new music taught the cars to dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As sideshows spread, Kennedy says, they became a sort of cultural marketplace. People repped parties, hawked homemade fashion lines and shared the latest beats and music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was always firmly rooted in a sense of place, Kennedy says. “It’s in the soil.

The sideshows, he says, were not just part of Oakland’s unique hyphy culture: They formed the space in which \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/djs_t8MSvfw?t=58\">hyphy\u003c/a> was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You would come out and you would really understand what is popular in Oakland,” Zazaboi says. A key part of that was the music. “I think for about three or four years straight, we used to hear this song by a group called 3X Krazy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3x Krazy- Keep It On The Real\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/elVWQn_b1-M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was just a baseline and it was so popular and would sound so good on really nice audio systems, it was almost like a sideshow theme,” Zazaboi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to name his pick for the theme of the sideshows, Sean Kennedy says there is really only one: Richie Rich’s sideshow song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that’s a classic when it comes to explaining the sideshow, in the early days,” says Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can hear the whole sideshow in Richie Rich’s deep and sonorous voice. “In Oakland, California,” he raps, “every Saturday night brothers be riding, straight-laced zeniths, drop-tops, buckets, high performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Music might have been the lifeblood of the sideshow but, according to Kennedy, the heart pumping that blood was the neighborhood’s deep-rooted car culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Car Culture and the Sideshow\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11668427\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11668427\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1020x1020.png\" alt=\"A car sitting outside A-1 Spring Service\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1020x1020.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-160x160.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-800x800.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1180x1180.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-960x960.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-240x240.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-375x375.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-520x520.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-32x32.png 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-50x50.png 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-64x64.png 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-96x96.png 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-128x128.png 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-150x150.png 150w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM.png 1196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A car sitting outside A-1 Spring Service \u003ccite>(@a1springservice/Instagram)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ruben Flores greets a customer whose car he has just modified at A-1 Spring Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was — and still is — the go-to place to bring your car for modifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flores, who went to Castlemont, the neighborhood high school, got the job straight out of school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The owner of the shop, he was losing a man, a mechanic, so he came down to the high school to ask about the auto shop program,” Flores says.

Zazaboi says it was when guys with cheap cars started doing doughnuts to get attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sean Kennedy says it was when the new built-for-speed Mustangs came on the market in the 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe it was the death of a young girl during a police chase after a sideshow got busted in the mid-’90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever the exact moment, the crackdown by Oakland police and the city were swift. New laws were introduced that criminalized sideshow spectators, you could be fined, even arrested, for just watching. Then came a 2005 ordinance, which allowed police to permanently confiscate any car directly involved in a sideshow. According to Zazaboi, that made it personal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their car is an extension of their ego,” Zazaboi says of sideshow participants. “You take away their car, you kill their ego, and that is exactly what they did out here in Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sean Kennedy says that response complicated the already tense relationship between police and the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Does that create an animosity to the police?” Kennedy asks. “It becomes a war at that point. And then it becomes a situation where the rebellion is, ‘We’re going to have sideshows anyway.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Kennedy and Zazaboi say that while local politicians criminalized the sideshow, local media demonized it, with story after story of violent, out-of-control youth taking over the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"East Oakland Sideshow Smack - Gun Falls Out\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/FfuzDz9XCxc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy admits that bad stuff did go down, and there was by necessity a kind of nomadic, extra-legal element to the sideshows. People brought guns and sold drugs; sometimes fights broke out. And yes, young men acted stupid. But he says all that was just as likely to happen at a Raiders game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy says despite all that, the sideshow did not breed criminal behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not about a car show,” he says. “At that point, it’s about arresting black youth in Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the sideshow made it easy to paint East Oakland youth into an already-made stereotype: “Young black kids who don’t have anything to do with their lives, out there playing around in these cars, carrying guns and selling drugs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify%3Auser%3Ad2ga1i8mr0izb1f4mhgc2p7an%3Aplaylist%3A0HccHh51NHruDrhD313Aca\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003ch3>Celebrating the Sideshow\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>What was lost in that narrative, Kennedy says, was the ingenuity of the sideshow: the mechanical skills it took to work on the cars, the driving skills it took to get them moving and dancing, the coordination to plan what are in essence the Bay Area’s first pop-up events. Long before pop-up events was even a term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy acknowledges his perspective has changed with age. Now that he has a few years on him, he is a little more weary of making cars spin like whirling dervishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As much as I love sideshows,” he says, “it’s a dangerous culture when it comes to spinning around a half-a-ton vehicle with no barriers and people standing there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is why Kennedy, among others, supported a push to legalize sideshows that gained some ground in the late 2000s. The suggestion was to bring sideshows out of the shadows and turn them into neighborhood street parties. They could even make money, proponents argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But opponents, like City Councilman Larry Reid, who represents Deep East Oakland, countered that it was folly for the city to sanction an illegal activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reid says the sideshows slowed down for a bit, but they seem to have picked up once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you ask Yakpasua Zazaboi, he will say what is happening now is not even a real sideshow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I break it down like this now,” Zazaboi says. “This is how you know it’s a sideshow. If there are clean cars and women out there, you might have a sideshow. If it’s a bunch of buckets and a whole bunch of dudes clowning around looking at each other — you do not have sideshow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The definition of just what makes a sideshow is constantly in flux. Every generation has its own version, just like every sideshow has people who say it is either a criminal act or a space for the creation of culture. Maybe, just maybe, there is a little bit of both, hanging out at the sideshow.\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 2016 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 new sex ed instruction. “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>Hundreds of parents, along with some teachers and current and former students, 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>“My religion prescribes that all human beings are created in the image of God, and gender is an essential characteristic of individual identity and purpose,” said parent Teri Topham, who opposed the new curriculum because she felt it told young children that they could choose their gender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You want your children to follow your value system,” she said. “And the burden lies with education system to be as careful as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But pediatrician and Fremont parent Sonia Khan said educators should follow the data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very difficult to deal with the idea that there’s a large volume of people who feel that their opinions are as valid as facts,” Khan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an American Muslim, Khan said she was sensitive to diverse religious beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s distressing to me to see parents of socially conservative — with a small c — background, not appreciate that what they are trying to dispense with is a critical tool for their own children to maintain the kind of abstinence that they are proponents of,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khan said she was also concerned by the spread of misinformation in the debate, including some more explicit imagery and language being presented as part of the lesson plan — when it was suggested material for parents — not children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sex ed was a “critical tool that’s being dispensed with in the political fight and the belief that somehow there are liberals out there who are trying to sexualize your children,” Khan said.\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>Some parents had objected to specific teachings, like one in the \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1QNuOG2u2oPVzM0b3J4MlJheWc/view\">grade six curriculum\u003c/a> that detailed a couple who are dating and making out: The boy lifts up the girls shirt to touch her breast. She pulls her shirt back down and keeps kissing him, but as he keeps pressuring her for more, she says “no” and leaves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Vijay Ghanta said that example was too explicit for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Teaching appropriate sexual behaviour starts at home,” Ghanta said, adding that he believed a loving and respectful relationship should be modeled by parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My son might see me and my wife argue and fight, but he also sees us get together at the end of the day and talk our differences out. Where is that being shown?” he asked of the new curriculum. “Only thing that is shown here is how to act in a sexually explicit fashion, which is wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fremont Unified teacher Sherea Westra said the contested sixth grade teaching taught a necessary lesson about consent that is now more important than ever in this #MeToo moment: “You can’t say you have to wait until they are in college to get this information — or even high school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And if they are not getting it,” she added, “they are going to go elsewhere and get inappropriate information or misinformation, and then we are going to be in they cycle we’ve been in for years where there is tons of sexual harassment and abuse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of students were on board with the proposed sex ed plan and attended school board meetings to show their support, including LGBTQ teens who said they’d been bullied because of a lack of awareness around gender and sexual identities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leena Yin, a Fremont schools graduate who teaches sexual health in the East Bay, presented a petition to the board 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>Following the vote, the school board said it would convene a panel of parents and experts to try to reach a consensus on sex ed instruction that respects the beliefs of parents and adheres to state standards for next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2015/sex-ed-to-become-mandatory-in-grades-7-12-in-california/88248\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Healthy Youth Act\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>[ad floatright]\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\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">similar update\u003c/a> to its curriculum after a debate like the one in Fremont erupted.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A third of all cases the organization documented were in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Participants in the annual Muslim Day on April 23 at the California Capitol pushed for several bills, including one that would require the state Department of Education to establish bullying prevention guidelines for all schools. The bill, AB 2291 by Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco), would also require schools to offer annual training to teachers and counselors to create a safe learning environment for Muslim students as well as LGBT, immigrant and other kids who may be subject to bullying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yasmine Nayabkhil, 12, a Sacramento-area student, came with her mother and sister to support Chiu’s bill.

Cal Poly student media outlet Mustang News shared audio of the meeting with KCBX News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are all these unknowns I have to be prepared for, I have to be prepared for the potential of an active shooter,” Hughes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes prepared for these types of situations last year when Yiannopoulos came to Cal Poly. Hughes said there were 100 police officers, a SWAT team and fences installed. The heavy police presence didn’t just surprise people on campus, Hughes said — it alarmed them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Alarmed is a great word to use. [When] people show up, if they see several police officers standing in one area – I’m a police officer, when I see a bunch of cops standing somewhere – I get it, ‘What is going on? Is everything OK? Am I safe?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As not a lot of information was shared beforehand, all this police activity led to rumors, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11663397/white-supremacist-propaganda-appears-on-cal-poly-campus-after-frat-suspensions\">White Supremacist Propaganda Appears at Cal Poly as Greek System Suspended\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11663397/white-supremacist-propaganda-appears-on-cal-poly-campus-after-frat-suspensions\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/SkinToneRacistMap-800x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There was a rumor there was snipers on the roof,” Hughes said. “There were people on the roofs. They were not snipers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes added that many still don’t believe him, but the officers on the roofs were spotters who were watching the ground in case something were to happen — like if someone got punched in the face or started a mob.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish I was much more transparent before Milo showed up on campus,” Hughes said. “And I wish I had prepared this campus for what to expect when they walked on campus that day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Poly spokesman Matt Lazier said school officials won’t be talking right now about the security efforts, out of public safety concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in speaking to students last week, Hughes was very clear there will be a heavy police presence on campus Thursday. And likely more so than last year, which he knows might scare some people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get it,” Hughes said. “That’s why I’m trying to get as much information out as possible. If you can come up with some other way to say, ‘Chief, if you want to reach people, do it this way,’ please send me an email. Because I want to inform people as much as possible about what to expect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes said he will be working with all 23 California State University campuses to bring in additional security. And with travel, overtime and housing for all the officers, the costs adds up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when it comes to campus safety, Hughes said he is not putting a price tag on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I think it’s going to cost us $100,000 to create a safe environment, then I think [$100,000] is the right amount,” Hughes said. “I don’t think you can put a price on to trying make sure no one gets hurt”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Luis Obispo Police Department said it will supply Cal Poly with six additional police officers, as well as staffing extra patrols.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The heavy police presence didn’t just surprise people on campus, Hughes said — it alarmed them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Alarmed is a great word to use. [When] people show up, if they see several police officers standing in one area – I’m a police officer, when I see a bunch of cops standing somewhere – I get it, ‘What is going on? Is everything OK? Am I safe?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As not a lot of information was shared beforehand, all this police activity led to rumors, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11663397/white-supremacist-propaganda-appears-on-cal-poly-campus-after-frat-suspensions\">White Supremacist Propaganda Appears at Cal Poly as Greek System Suspended\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11663397/white-supremacist-propaganda-appears-on-cal-poly-campus-after-frat-suspensions\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/SkinToneRacistMap-800x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There was a rumor there was snipers on the roof,” Hughes said. “There were people on the roofs. They were not snipers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes added that many still don’t believe him, but the officers on the roofs were spotters who were watching the ground in case something were to happen — like if someone got punched in the face or started a mob.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish I was much more transparent before Milo showed up on campus,” Hughes said. “And I wish I had prepared this campus for what to expect when they walked on campus that day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Poly spokesman Matt Lazier said school officials won’t be talking right now about the security efforts, out of public safety concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in speaking to students last week, Hughes was very clear there will be a heavy police presence on campus Thursday. And likely more so than last year, which he knows might scare some people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get it,” Hughes said. “That’s why I’m trying to get as much information out as possible. If you can come up with some other way to say, ‘Chief, if you want to reach people, do it this way,’ please send me an email. Because I want to inform people as much as possible about what to expect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes said he will be working with all 23 California State University campuses to bring in additional security. And with travel, overtime and housing for all the officers, the costs adds up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when it comes to campus safety, Hughes said he is not putting a price tag on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I think it’s going to cost us $100,000 to create a safe environment, then I think [$100,000] is the right amount,” Hughes said. “I don’t think you can put a price on to trying make sure no one gets hurt”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Luis Obispo Police Department said it will supply Cal Poly with six additional police officers, as well as staffing extra patrols.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
