I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

It would amend the state's education code, stating that LGBT people should be added to the state's list of underrepresented groups in history classes. At the same time it also spells out other guidelines for underrepresented groups. The bill says textbooks and instruction should specifically include contributions of Native Americans, African Americans, and Mexican Americans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The LGBT component is the thing getting the most press. Is that because that is specifically called out in the bill or is it because it's more controversial?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More of the emphasis is on LGBT historical contributions. The other part of the bill is basically spelling out, \"let's not refer to African Americans in history as blacks or Native Americans as Indians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California would be the first state in the country to allow public school kids to learn from curricula and textbooks that point out the contributions of gays and lesbians. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And it wouldn't just be allowed, it would be mandated. Is that correct? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's mandated, but it's a little tricky, because the bill says the state has to adopt textbooks and curricula that include LGBT contributions in our history, but it's up to school districts if they want to use them and how much. So ultimately, school districts will get to decide how they go about using these teaching materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the district officials I've spoken with say this would give them permission to talk about the topic. Even if they don't necessarily use the textbook, they have permission to talk about the ongoing gay rights movement, about people like Harvey Milk or Walt Whitman, for example.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>So currently, if a teacher does want to discuss LGBT topics in class, are they specifically disallowed or are they such hot-button issues that teachers don't want to go there?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're such hot-button issues that people don't want to go there. I think it's really frowned upon; I think teachers feel they don't have the authority to talk about these issues. And we've seen cases in school districts where a teacher gets in trouble for talking about someone like Harvey Milk. If this bill becomes law, it give educators that freedom to discuss these things in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/lgbt2.mp3\">\u003cem>On the bill's supporters and opponents\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/lgbt2.mp3|titles=lgbt2]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So who are the bill's main opponents at this point?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christian conservative groups and Republican lawmakers. They say this is a blatant attempt to promote what they call a homosexual agenda and to legislate morality. And they're saying they're not going to back down even if the bill does become law. So you still may see cases and issues come up, maybe even more so if teachers feel they have a little more freedom to talk about this topic in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And this was Mark Leno's bill, right? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, and it was co-sponsored by \u003ca href=\"http://www.eqca.org/site/pp.asp?c=kuLRJ9MRKrH&b=5609559\">Equality California\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.gsanetwork.org/\">Gay-Straight Alliance Network\u003c/a>, both of which are based in San Francisco, so it very much has this Bay Area connection. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And what are the indications from Governor Brown as to whether he'll sign it or not?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hasn't said whether he supports it. If he doesn’t veto it within 12 days, it automatically becomes law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even if it does become law, there's a five-year moratorium placed on adopting and purchasing any new textbooks, due to budget issues. That moratorium is in place until about 2015. So you wouldn't be seeing new adoption of textbooks for a number of years. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/lgbt3.mp3\">\u003cem>Explaining how teachers could implement the new curricula without new textbooks\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/lgbt3.mp3|titles=lgbt3]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>What is the difference between textbooks and curricula?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Textbooks are the tool, and the standards are the lesson plans and how you go about teaching something. A lot of people use teaching and curriculum interchangeably. From the textbook you can develop lesson plans, and sometimes textbooks come with curricula that teachers can then use within the classroom or structure it in ways that they feel are best for students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the state does pass the bill but has no money to buy textbooks, teachers could still develop their own lesson plans that tie into what they want to get across in this particular area.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

As it ended up, we weren't comfortable with the lines we were lokng at and the kind of issues that were being surfaced. A lot of this is caused by four counties we have that fall into the Voting Rights Act. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Which counties are those? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monterey, Merced, Yolo, and Kings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why are those more complicated? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There' an example in Santa Cruz County. A county that is in the voting rights act, cannot have any minority population retrogressed. In the case of the district that we drew that included Monetrrey and Santa Cruz county, the Latino population went from 46 to almost 44.5 percent. Our counsel suggested to us that if we did that, it would be refused by the justice dept because we retrogressed the Latino population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In other words by making them a smaller percentage of the voting population in that districft, you are retrogressing them, and that's not acceptable under the U.S. Voting Rights Act.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Correct. You step back and you ask yourself what's the chances of Latinos' ability to affect an election, between 46 and and 44.5 percent, you have to wonder how you'd go about calculating that. But the law's the law and we'll follow the law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That caused us to split the city of Santa Cruz, and move over into Santa Clara county and pick up the city of Gilroy. Becauise Gilroy had a larger Latino population than that portion of Santa Cruz. You can only imagine how the people in the city of Santa Cruz feel. Why would you split us, when there's no reason to? Other than the fact that we needed to get the to get the population characteristics correct. That's the complexity that gets into this process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>One reason that the Citizens Redistricting Commission was created by voters was to avoid the kind of gerrymandering that politicians did in order to improve their chances of re-election, and also to build up the power of their own parties. That often created some odd looking districts. But you're having just as much difficulty as the politicans have...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerrymandering came out of the ability of a former New Hampshrire official who drew a very inetresting looking district. But that was for pure political purposes. If you look at the constitution that were' operating under given passage of Propositions 11 and 20, the first priority is that we'll meet the constitutional mandate of equal population, the second is that we'll meet the Voting Rights Act requirements, and then down the list is communities of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're not gerrymandering to the preference of a political party or individual. We're following what the law says is required. We don't go out of our way for a particular ethnic group unless it's a community of interest because they get together and they have events and they're socially engaged. And in the case of a Voting Rights Act county, we don't have a choice, we're following the law. I don't think that falls into the same category as some of these districts that were drawn for truly partisan purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/redistricting2.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On complaints by Fremont's Indian-American population and the large Northern California district proposed\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/redistricting2.mp3|titles=redistricting2]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In Fremont, Indian Americans are complaining that you've divided the city in half and that may dilute their voting power. How do you respond to those complaints?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a good example that we're not gerrymandering purely for the sake of any racial preference. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think we've taken care of them to their interest on the senate level and it might have also be worked out in the assembly, we haven't finished things. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the congressional we had a more difficult time because of some of these things that were happening in Merced and in Monterey counties, and we have to give equal populations in other areas as well. We tried very, very hard to meet their requirements, but it looks like it's not going to be possible for the congressional district. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There are also complaints that you created awkward districts in the Central Valley for state representatives, including one district that runs from East Sacramento to the Oregon border, not only creating a great deal of difficulty for anyone who's going to represent that district in terms of traveling around, but also perhaps uniting the interests of people who are very different from each other. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now you're into the population problem. That's a very sparsely populated area in the northern part of our state, and it takes many, many counties to add up to the 900,000 people that make up a senate district. The testimony we heard is that they don't want to go east-west, they want to go north-south and follow the transportation corridors. Well if you're going to add up to 900,000 people its' going to bring you pretty far down south. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/redistricting3.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On criticism that the committee is not transparent enough\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/redistricting3.mp3|titles=redistricting3]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You're also being criticized for going dark in the terms of one critic, for not releasing these interim maps and for finishing the drawing of the maps without public input. How do you address that? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's take the term going dark. Normally that would mean people go into a closed room and not let anyone see what they're doing. We go into a conference area and there is a TV camera recording live everything we say and do. I wouldn't classify that as going dark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>That includes the meetings you'll be having in the next few weeks? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. And everything we do is recorded and we live stream it. So I have a hard time with the term going dark. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also you don't have to have a public meeting to have public input, at least in the 21st century. We're getting emails and written reports continuously and we read them all and pay attention to them. So the only thing that's different is that instead of publishing a set of maps on a certain date, we're saying we're going to keep working through, and rather than spending a lot of time on publishing maps that may or may not be changed, we're going to just keep working on improving the maps until were' comfortable that we have them right.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And by the way, I talked to Vince Barabba, who is from Capitola, and fellow commissioner Connie Galambos Malloy, from Alameda, back in March, probably before their antacid bills went through the roof.

As it ended up, we weren't comfortable with the lines we were lokng at and the kind of issues that were being surfaced. A lot of this is caused by four counties we have that fall into the Voting Rights Act. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Which counties are those? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monterey, Merced, Yolo, and Kings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why are those more complicated? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There' an example in Santa Cruz County. A county that is in the voting rights act, cannot have any minority population retrogressed. In the case of the district that we drew that included Monetrrey and Santa Cruz county, the Latino population went from 46 to almost 44.5 percent. Our counsel suggested to us that if we did that, it would be refused by the justice dept because we retrogressed the Latino population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In other words by making them a smaller percentage of the voting population in that districft, you are retrogressing them, and that's not acceptable under the U.S. Voting Rights Act.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Correct. You step back and you ask yourself what's the chances of Latinos' ability to affect an election, between 46 and and 44.5 percent, you have to wonder how you'd go about calculating that. But the law's the law and we'll follow the law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That caused us to split the city of Santa Cruz, and move over into Santa Clara county and pick up the city of Gilroy. Becauise Gilroy had a larger Latino population than that portion of Santa Cruz. You can only imagine how the people in the city of Santa Cruz feel. Why would you split us, when there's no reason to? Other than the fact that we needed to get the to get the population characteristics correct. That's the complexity that gets into this process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>One reason that the Citizens Redistricting Commission was created by voters was to avoid the kind of gerrymandering that politicians did in order to improve their chances of re-election, and also to build up the power of their own parties. That often created some odd looking districts. But you're having just as much difficulty as the politicans have...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerrymandering came out of the ability of a former New Hampshrire official who drew a very inetresting looking district. But that was for pure political purposes. If you look at the constitution that were' operating under given passage of Propositions 11 and 20, the first priority is that we'll meet the constitutional mandate of equal population, the second is that we'll meet the Voting Rights Act requirements, and then down the list is communities of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're not gerrymandering to the preference of a political party or individual. We're following what the law says is required. We don't go out of our way for a particular ethnic group unless it's a community of interest because they get together and they have events and they're socially engaged. And in the case of a Voting Rights Act county, we don't have a choice, we're following the law. I don't think that falls into the same category as some of these districts that were drawn for truly partisan purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/redistricting2.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On complaints by Fremont's Indian-American population and the large Northern California district proposed\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

How do you respond to those complaints?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a good example that we're not gerrymandering purely for the sake of any racial preference. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think we've taken care of them to their interest on the senate level and it might have also be worked out in the assembly, we haven't finished things. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the congressional we had a more difficult time because of some of these things that were happening in Merced and in Monterey counties, and we have to give equal populations in other areas as well. We tried very, very hard to meet their requirements, but it looks like it's not going to be possible for the congressional district. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There are also complaints that you created awkward districts in the Central Valley for state representatives, including one district that runs from East Sacramento to the Oregon border, not only creating a great deal of difficulty for anyone who's going to represent that district in terms of traveling around, but also perhaps uniting the interests of people who are very different from each other. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now you're into the population problem. That's a very sparsely populated area in the northern part of our state, and it takes many, many counties to add up to the 900,000 people that make up a senate district. The testimony we heard is that they don't want to go east-west, they want to go north-south and follow the transportation corridors. Well if you're going to add up to 900,000 people its' going to bring you pretty far down south. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/redistricting3.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On criticism that the committee is not transparent enough\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

How do you address that? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's take the term going dark. Normally that would mean people go into a closed room and not let anyone see what they're doing.

"headTitle": "News Fix | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The Legislature had its dramatic moments tonight as it considered next year's state budget. Lawsuits were threatened, or promised. Democratic members of the Senate broke with party leadership for a time over their displeasure with some aspects of the package. Republicans complained that they'd been frozen out of the budget-making process as Democrats crafted and passed a package that (they argued) contained no new taxes and thus needed no GOP votes for passage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/06/ufwflag.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/06/ufwflag.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"UFW Flag\" width=\"240\" height=\"156\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-32614\">\u003c/a>But the evening's real drama at the Capitol only unfolded only after the Legislature was done voting. Governor Jerry Brown vetoed a widely watched piece of farm-labor legislation: \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0101-0150/sb_104_bill_20110112_introduced.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">SB 104\u003c/a>, the farmworker \"card-check\" bill. The bill would have changed how agricultural union elections are held. Instead of voting by secret ballot on whether to join a union, as provided under current law, workers would express their preference by \"card check\"—in essence, by submitting a petition accompanied by individual authorization cards. The cards could be filled out anywhere—on the job or at home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United Farm Workers backed the bill, introduced by Senate President pro tem Darrell Steinberg, a Sacramento Democrat. Steinberg, the UFW, and their allies say the change was necessary because farm employers have intimidated workers voting in secret elections held at job sites. Opponents of the bill, which predictably include agriculture interests, say the card-check system would make workers vulnerable to coercion from unions. (Here's\u003ca href=\"http://www.californiaprogressreport.com/site/node/9056\" target=\"_blank\"> the union's view\u003c/a> of the bill. And here's this week's Los Angeles Times editorial \u003ca href=\"http://http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/23/opinion/la-ed-cardcheck-20110623\" target=\"_blank\">urging Brown to veto the bill\u003c/a>.) \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back to the Capitol: UFW supporters have been camped out there all week, holding a fast and vigil to try to persuade the governor to sign the bill (Brown's predecessor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, had rejected it).

Democratic members of the Senate broke with party leadership for a time over their displeasure with some aspects of the package. Republicans complained that they'd been frozen out of the budget-making process as Democrats crafted and passed a package that (they argued) contained no new taxes and thus needed no GOP votes for passage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/06/ufwflag.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/06/ufwflag.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"UFW Flag\" width=\"240\" height=\"156\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-32614\">\u003c/a>But the evening's real drama at the Capitol only unfolded only after the Legislature was done voting. Governor Jerry Brown vetoed a widely watched piece of farm-labor legislation: \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0101-0150/sb_104_bill_20110112_introduced.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">SB 104\u003c/a>, the farmworker \"card-check\" bill. The bill would have changed how agricultural union elections are held. Instead of voting by secret ballot on whether to join a union, as provided under current law, workers would express their preference by \"card check\"—in essence, by submitting a petition accompanied by individual authorization cards. The cards could be filled out anywhere—on the job or at home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United Farm Workers backed the bill, introduced by Senate President pro tem Darrell Steinberg, a Sacramento Democrat. Steinberg, the UFW, and their allies say the change was necessary because farm employers have intimidated workers voting in secret elections held at job sites. Opponents of the bill, which predictably include agriculture interests, say the card-check system would make workers vulnerable to coercion from unions. (Here's\u003ca href=\"http://www.californiaprogressreport.com/site/node/9056\" target=\"_blank\"> the union's view\u003c/a> of the bill. And here's this week's Los Angeles Times editorial \u003ca href=\"http://http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/23/opinion/la-ed-cardcheck-20110623\" target=\"_blank\">urging Brown to veto the bill\u003c/a>.) \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back to the Capitol: UFW supporters have been camped out there all week, holding a fast and vigil to try to persuade the governor to sign the bill (Brown's predecessor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, had rejected it). Some had traveled hundreds of miles to be there, and according to KQED Sacramento Bureau Chief John Myers, they were angry and dejected when the word came that Brown had vetoed SB 104. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UFW President Arturo Rodriguez was on the scene.
