It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

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.",

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

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

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",

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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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

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

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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Back in January, a permit was denied for the only needle exchange in Orange County. The reason? Santa Ana officials cited health concerns over needles scattered on the ground in the Santa Ana Civic Center, where the exchange operated a permanent location, and even among stacks of books in the city library.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But shutting down the \u003ca href=\"http://ocnep.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orange County Needle Exchange Program (OCNEP)\u003c/a> didn’t stop the use of needles. Advocates say it may have even forced some intravenous drug users to share them or use dirty ones, increasing the likelihood of blood-borne illnesses like HIV and hepatitis. In its two years of operation, OCNEP gave out about 2 million clean needles and provided safe disposal for used syringes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the exchange’s co-founder, Dr. Kyle Barbour, has been trying to work with the city of Santa Ana for a solution. But in the meantime he and his colleagues have taken a different tack — if they cannot operate out of the Civic Center, they’ll take the needle exchange on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mobile needle exchanges can be found in big cities across the United States. In California, they operate in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland. But this would be the first of its kind in Orange County. According to Barbour, a mobile exchange might be even better for the organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s especially important to be mobile in a suburban county like Orange,” says Barbour. “The reason for that is that a lot of the clients that we serve are very, very poor.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Back in January, a permit was denied for the only needle exchange in Orange County. The reason? Santa Ana officials cited health concerns over needles scattered on the ground in the Santa Ana Civic Center, where the exchange operated a permanent location, and even among stacks of books in the city library.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But shutting down the \u003ca href=\"http://ocnep.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orange County Needle Exchange Program (OCNEP)\u003c/a> didn’t stop the use of needles. Advocates say it may have even forced some intravenous drug users to share them or use dirty ones, increasing the likelihood of blood-borne illnesses like HIV and hepatitis. In its two years of operation, OCNEP gave out about 2 million clean needles and provided safe disposal for used syringes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the exchange’s co-founder, Dr. Kyle Barbour, has been trying to work with the city of Santa Ana for a solution. But in the meantime he and his colleagues have taken a different tack — if they cannot operate out of the Civic Center, they’ll take the needle exchange on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mobile needle exchanges can be found in big cities across the United States. In California, they operate in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland. But this would be the first of its kind in Orange County. According to Barbour, a mobile exchange might be even better for the organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s especially important to be mobile in a suburban county like Orange,” says Barbour. “The reason for that is that a lot of the clients that we serve are very, very poor. There’s almost no public transportation infrastructure here, so getting from place to place is really hard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They wanted the Fremont Unified School District Board members to see a wave of white standing in clear opposition to the school district’s proposal for comprehensive sex education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On two Wednesdays in March, hundreds of parents showed up to the school board meetings to oppose a curriculum they fear is more titillating than educational.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school board voted to approve updating their sex education policy, but they have yet to decide whether to approve the proposed curriculum as is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the stuff that they talk about is, in my opinion, very, very inappropriate,” said parent Danny Hsu. “In fourth grade, they are going to start talking about erections, they are going to talk about wet dreams. In fifth grade, they actually talk about if the male and female have sexual intercourse than the penis is inserted into the vagina.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hsu said his son, who is in fifth grade, is too young for these explicit details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fremont Unified School Board said it is updating its sex education curriculum in order to come into compliance with a California State law that was rolled out in 2016. That policy, called 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California does not require that sex education be taught before seventh grade, but Fremont has traditionally taught a version of it to fourth through sixth graders, said Denise Herrmann, the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum Instruction. She said for Fremont to be in compliance with state law, no matter the grade sex ed is taught in, you must comply with state set guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was no decision on our part to say we believe this content should be at fourth grade,” said Herrmann. “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.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some parents think the information is extreme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really terribly shocked, like why should my fourth grade daughter know about spontaneous erections and then wet dreams?” asked parent Sunitha Devi Gopalan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too much details for them to digest,” Devi Gopalan said. “It’s actually going to kill their innocence, that’s what I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Hsu and Devi Gopalan are, like the overwhelming majority of parents who showed up in force to voice their concerns, Asian-Americans. Fremont, like other Silicon Valley suburbs, is an \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/OF-RACE-AND-PLACE-Little-Asia-Fremont-2834791.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ethnoburb\u003c/a>. More than half of the city’s residents have Asian ancestry, the majority from China or South Asia. Even more significant, Asian-Americans make up 70 percent of the student population in the Fremont Unified School District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cultural differences, many parents said, play a role in their opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For parent Sylvia Wong the lesson plans taught to elementary students before the proposed updates were already too much.

There’s so much stigma in our community,” said Hussain, Jha’s mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Hussain is a huge supporter of her son, and his biggest cheerleader. As a Pakistani immigrant, she said she had to learn what it meant to be queer. “I didn’t even know that word existed,” she said.\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 there are so fearful of diversity, and it makes me really realize how important what my son is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jha is not the only person who spoke about the difficulties of navigating Fremont schools with a queer identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was younger, I felt there was nothing good about being queer in school spaces,” said Anthony Prickett, a 22-year-old who attended Fremont public schools. “I oftentimes felt very lonely when I was younger,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Prickett addressed the school board, he declared himself to be a proud, “gay Chinese-American Christian.” In response, someone in the crowd of white clad parents yelled out “No!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Quite often we pit Chinese-Americans and Christians against gay people,” Prickett said. “When in reality there have always been, and will always be, Chinese Christian gay people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prickett said he respects the need to keep cultural traditions alive, but not at the expense of inclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes we think as Chinese-American’s that we have to sustain our culture,” he said. “Instead of seeing culture as something that’s ever transforming, ever moving forward, ever growing more loving and caring as a community, we see it as the endless sustaining and reiteration of traditional values.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditional values, he said, are “understood as values of purity and the ostracization of those who do not conform to a very particular idea of what it means to be Chinese-American.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prickett said there are more ways than one to be Chinese-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Salil Joshi said the battle over sex education in Fremont is not about exclusion of the LGBTQ community in Fremont.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about LGBTQ,” Joshi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he supports diversity and the LGBTQ community. What he is against is lessons he thinks are too sexually explicit for his ten-year-old son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I still believe that a ten-year-old is innocent,” he said. “I still believe that as a parent it is my duty to preserve that innocence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshi worries about more than just the fourth through sixth grade lessons. “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.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBTQ and sex education advocates argue that in order for the lessons to be inclusive for all kids, sex and sexuality needs to be discussed and destigmatized, including sex that may be practiced by those with diverse sexualities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they said one reason to believe homophobia and transphobia are lurking behind the pushback against sex ed is the involvement of \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pacific Justice Institute.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/pacific-justice-institute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pacific Justice Institute\u003c/a> has been labeled a hate group by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southern Poverty Law Center\u003c/a>, for, among other things, their support of gay conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.schoolhealthcenters.org/healthlearning/reproductivehealth/sexual-health-education/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California’s ACLU is involved\u003c/a> on the pro-comprehensive sex education side of the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/press-releases/pji-convinces-school-district-to-wait-with-regard-to-sex-ed-curriculum\">Similar controversies\u003c/a> have played out in other local school districts with large Asian-American populations.

In the meeting, parents threatened school board members who spoke positively about the sex ed curriculum with recall campaigns and promises to vote them out of office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also emerging is a subtle intergenerational divide between immigrant Asian-American parents and their children.

That policy, called 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California does not require that sex education be taught before seventh grade, but Fremont has traditionally taught a version of it to fourth through sixth graders, said Denise Herrmann, the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum Instruction. She said for Fremont to be in compliance with state law, no matter the grade sex ed is taught in, you must comply with state set guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was no decision on our part to say we believe this content should be at fourth grade,” said Herrmann. “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.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some parents think the information is extreme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really terribly shocked, like why should my fourth grade daughter know about spontaneous erections and then wet dreams?” asked parent Sunitha Devi Gopalan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too much details for them to digest,” Devi Gopalan said. “It’s actually going to kill their innocence, that’s what I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Hsu and Devi Gopalan are, like the overwhelming majority of parents who showed up in force to voice their concerns, Asian-Americans. Fremont, like other Silicon Valley suburbs, is an \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/OF-RACE-AND-PLACE-Little-Asia-Fremont-2834791.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ethnoburb\u003c/a>. More than half of the city’s residents have Asian ancestry, the majority from China or South Asia. Even more significant, Asian-Americans make up 70 percent of the student population in the Fremont Unified School District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cultural differences, many parents said, play a role in their opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For parent Sylvia Wong the lesson plans taught to elementary students before the proposed updates were already too much. There is an option to opt out of all sex ed classes, but Wong said it didn’t work and her daughter found out what was being taught anyway.\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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I heard that I was really angry,” she said. “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>Raising her child with traditional cultural beliefs is important to Wong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She believes the new lesson plans will further impact her ability to teach her child about sex in a way consistent with cultural beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They even talk about love making positions,” Wong said. “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 ten-year-old girl to be involved in that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Mina Naveed said she actually liked the old curriculum for her kids, but she is worried the new one is just teaching kids to have sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are very curious minds,” she said. 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 Leena Yin, who graduated from Fremont’s Mission San Jose High School a few years ago and is now a sexual health educator, said these fears are unfounded.

There’s so much stigma in our community,” said Hussain, Jha’s mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Hussain is a huge supporter of her son, and his biggest cheerleader. As a Pakistani immigrant, she said she had to learn what it meant to be queer. “I didn’t even know that word existed,” she said.\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 there are so fearful of diversity, and it makes me really realize how important what my son is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jha is not the only person who spoke about the difficulties of navigating Fremont schools with a queer identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was younger, I felt there was nothing good about being queer in school spaces,” said Anthony Prickett, a 22-year-old who attended Fremont public schools. “I oftentimes felt very lonely when I was younger,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Prickett addressed the school board, he declared himself to be a proud, “gay Chinese-American Christian.” In response, someone in the crowd of white clad parents yelled out “No!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Quite often we pit Chinese-Americans and Christians against gay people,” Prickett said. “When in reality there have always been, and will always be, Chinese Christian gay people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prickett said he respects the need to keep cultural traditions alive, but not at the expense of inclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes we think as Chinese-American’s that we have to sustain our culture,” he said. “Instead of seeing culture as something that’s ever transforming, ever moving forward, ever growing more loving and caring as a community, we see it as the endless sustaining and reiteration of traditional values.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditional values, he said, are “understood as values of purity and the ostracization of those who do not conform to a very particular idea of what it means to be Chinese-American.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prickett said there are more ways than one to be Chinese-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Salil Joshi said the battle over sex education in Fremont is not about exclusion of the LGBTQ community in Fremont.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about LGBTQ,” Joshi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he supports diversity and the LGBTQ community. What he is against is lessons he thinks are too sexually explicit for his ten-year-old son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I still believe that a ten-year-old is innocent,” he said. “I still believe that as a parent it is my duty to preserve that innocence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshi worries about more than just the fourth through sixth grade lessons. “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.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBTQ and sex education advocates argue that in order for the lessons to be inclusive for all kids, sex and sexuality needs to be discussed and destigmatized, including sex that may be practiced by those with diverse sexualities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they said one reason to believe homophobia and transphobia are lurking behind the pushback against sex ed is the involvement of \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pacific Justice Institute.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/pacific-justice-institute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pacific Justice Institute\u003c/a> has been labeled a hate group by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southern Poverty Law Center\u003c/a>, for, among other things, their support of gay conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.schoolhealthcenters.org/healthlearning/reproductivehealth/sexual-health-education/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California’s ACLU is involved\u003c/a> on the pro-comprehensive sex education side of the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/press-releases/pji-convinces-school-district-to-wait-with-regard-to-sex-ed-curriculum\">Similar controversies\u003c/a> have played out in other local school districts with large Asian-American populations.
