KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Southern California is typically known as the hub that cultivates top-notch water polo players, many of whom go on to compete in the Olympics, but the Bay Area has gradually developed its own network of talent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first started, there was one team in all of Marin County, but all the water polo players that really loved the sport converged on this one club, Sleepy Hollow Shack, and that made it a hotbed in the area,” said Dylan Woodhead of San Anselmo, an athlete on the U.S. men’s water polo team competing at Summer Games in Paris, which kick off on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said this small community in Marin inspired him to love the sport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That made the sport so much more exciting, to be around coaches that are good role models and friends that I really enjoy being around. And that helped me just dive headfirst into the sport,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the U.S., water polo is a relatively niche sport. According to USA Water Polo, the nonprofit federation that promotes the sport and selects the U.S. Olympic team, there are more than 50,000 affiliated members and 500 clubs nationwide. That number is dwarfed by other American sports, like baseball, which has more than 15 million amateur players across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the small footprint, water polo dominates in California. This year, all but 3 of the 26 players on the U.S. men’s and women’s Olympic teams are from the state. \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncsasports.org/mens-water-polo/colleges\">Three-quarters\u003c/a> of all high school players in the country live in California, according to Next College Student Athlete, a college athlete recruiting company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely a California team. The state will have its stamp on the team culture for sure,” said Woodhead, whose position on the U.S. men’s team is attacker. “The Southern California guys definitely talk about traffic more than anyone else I’ve ever met.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11997462\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11997462\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Multiple people sit with their feet in the water at a pool.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-scaled.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Athletes on the UC Berkeley Men’s water polo team rest during practice on July 18, 2024. \u003ccite>(Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Jenna Flynn, a Stanford sophomore who grew up in San José, attributes her success in making the Olympic team to the small scene for the sport in her hometown.

This summer, the team to beat is Serbia, which has won the gold medal in the past two Olympics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the small following for water polo, the sport got a pop culture moment earlier this month.

Just 17 years old and navigating the culture shock on his own, he again turned to music to help him cope. He credits the couple of cassettes of Arabic music he brought to California with getting him through college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among his peers, Salti’s ear for music stood out.

The music of Lebanese singer \u003ca href=\"https://yasminehamdan.com/en/#/#home\">Yasmine Hamdan\u003c/a> — who Salti refers to as “the queen of underground Lebanese music” — is featured often, and Hamdan herself has been a \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/arabology/yasminehamdan2017\">guest on the show\u003c/a>.

Sinno was the lead singer of the Lebanese band \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfPvgAtgTNM\">Mashrou’ Leila\u003c/a> until the group disbanded in 2022 due to harassment and hate campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, they released a song titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1GOmPx-Ba8\">“Shim El Yasmine,”\u003c/a> which translates to “Smell the Jasmine.” It’s a tender ballad about Sinno’s break-up with a man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was such a moment because I think it was the first time we had an openly gay Muslim singer sing in Arabic about what [they are] going through,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a2sOF_hhKw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti said the common theme in all the music he plays is coexistence, whether it’s from artists living on the margins of Arab society or songs with more explicit messages of unity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of his go-to artists in the latter vein is Lebanese singer \u003ca href=\"https://www.taniasaleh.com/\">Tania Saleh\u003c/a> and her song \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_PbJg9v0CM\">“Omar and Ali.”\u003c/a> In it, she encourages Sunni and Shia Muslims to end their fighting and make peace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She says, ‘Get up Omar, get up Ali, shake hands and become brothers again,’” Salti explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On a more personal level, I myself happen to be a Christian Arab, but I’m always assumed to be Muslim,” he added. “A lot of people think the whole Arab world is Muslim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he doesn’t typically correct people because he doesn’t want to feed an idea that there’s anything wrong with being Muslim. But it’s a reminder of the stereotypes he and other Arabs and Arab Americans face — and an added motivation for him to continue showcasing different Arab communities and perspectives through his show.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘We need to build bridges’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ramzi’s dedication to amplifying indie Arab musicians has built him a solid reputation in that scene. Today, the show is a go-to platform for emerging Arab and Arab American musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m at a stage where every morning when I look at my email, and I look at my messages, there are people telling me about other people, [or] that I need to discover this band. Some bands send me their demos,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the pandemic, Salti has been pre-recording his shows on a more sporadic schedule and releasing them as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.arabology.org/p/all-my-podcasts.html\">podcast\u003c/a> on streaming platforms, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyf1lyybLSdVr6N4eOuLe0w\">video podcast\u003c/a> on YouTube. This summer, he’s spending time in Jordan, where he plans to interview artists for new episodes of \u003cem>Arabology\u003c/em>. He otherwise hasn’t released a new show in a while, which he said is intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels weird and inhuman, maybe, to be playing dance music from that region at a time where people in that region are living a nightmare,” Salti said, referring to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti said that instead, he’s been discovering poetry by poets in Gaza, set to music. He cites one such production by \u003ca href=\"http://www.checkpoint303.com/\">Checkpoint 303\u003c/a>, a nonprofit, experimental music collective founded by Tunisian artist SC Mocha and Palestinian artist SC Yosh. They \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4QbAMK41XY\">remixed\u003c/a> the viral poem by Palestinian poet and professor Refaat Alareer titled \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/itranslate123/status/1719701312990830934\">“If I Must Die.”\u003c/a> Alareer published the poem on social media just weeks before he was killed in Gaza by an Israeli airstrike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The song itself is powerful,” Salti said. “It will make you really, really think about the violence that’s going on and how many potential artists, singers, poets are disappearing before they’ve even seen the world or been given a chance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Salti acknowledges the power of music as a means of expression and hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of Arab artists and even artists in Gaza itself are finding that music and poetry [are] one of the few outlets they have left,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti also likes to share songs that combine Hebrew and Arabic when he comes across them. “I’m so proud of these artists who come together, you know, Jewish artists with Muslim artists recording a duet. That, to me, is beautiful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because while Salti may switch up songs for his music mixes, one tune remains constant — his commitment to opening hearts and minds through music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I want listeners to take away when they listen to one of my episodes has never changed, and that is to have a different view of the Arab world and to understand that the difference between East and West is not so vast; that we need to build bridges; that we can both learn from each other,” he said. “And for me, if music gets you to discover tolerance and coexistence, then I’ve done my job.”\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"For the past 13 years, Ramzi Salti — aka DJ Ramzi — has been sharing his deep knowledge and passion for Arabic music with listeners all over the world through his podcast Arabology.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1720803106,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":40,"wordCount":1825},"headData":{"title":"Ramzi Salti Champions Indie Arab Musicians With 'Arabology' Podcast | KQED","description":"For the past 13 years, Ramzi Salti — aka DJ Ramzi — has been sharing his deep knowledge and passion for Arabic music with listeners all over the world through his podcast Arabology.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Ramzi Salti Champions Indie Arab Musicians With 'Arabology' Podcast","datePublished":"2024-07-12T04:00:07-07:00","dateModified":"2024-07-12T09:51:46-07:00","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"True","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"audioUrl":"https://traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/0af137ef-751e-4b19-a055-aaef00d2d578/ffca7e9f-6831-41c5-bcaf-aaef00f5a073/988442cd-d413-4b73-a040-b1a7011f0ceb/audio.mp3","sticky":false,"nprStoryId":"kqed-11993183","excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","articleAge":"0","path":"/news/11993183/ramzi-salti-champions-indie-arab-musicians-with-arabology-podcast","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>For over a decade, \u003ca href=\"https://dlcl.stanford.edu/people/ramzi-salti\">Ramzi Salti\u003c/a> — aka DJ Ramzi — has been sharing his deep passion for Arabic music with listeners all over the world through his radio show and podcast, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.arabology.org/\">Arabology\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between his encyclopedic-level musical knowledge and his voice — a deep rasp elevated by a warm, enthusiastic on-air demeanor — “radio deejay” is a fitting role for him.

He credits the couple of cassettes of Arabic music he brought to California with getting him through college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among his peers, Salti’s ear for music stood out. At graduation, he and his friends made and exchanged cassette mixtapes as gifts. For his mixtape, he included songs with lyrics in English and French, plus some songs in Arabic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I would wait to see the reaction,” Salti said. “And sure enough, I would always get positive feedback. And they would tell me … ‘the way you choose music is so great. You should have a radio show one day.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A show where indie Arab artists shine\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Salti is especially known for featuring indie artists, women artists and LGBTQ artists on \u003cem>Arabology\u003c/em> — the singers and musicians often ignored by mainstream Arabic radio stations, particularly in more conservative areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can play that kind of music right here at KZSU in Arabic and not have to censor it,” Salti said. “In fact, I can praise it and disseminate it because it is beautiful, powerful music that unfortunately doesn’t get heard enough in the Arab world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11993199\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11993199\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805.jpg\" alt=\"A man wearing black clothing points at a piece of paper and stands with a woman who is holding the paper with a picture board and festive lights behind them.\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘Arabology’ host Ramzi Salti with Lebanese singer Yasmine Hamdan at the KZSU radio station at Stanford University in November 2017. \u003ccite>(Photo courtesy of Ramzi Salti)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He’s hosted shows that have focused solely on Arab women’s voices.

Sinno was the lead singer of the Lebanese band \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfPvgAtgTNM\">Mashrou’ Leila\u003c/a> until the group disbanded in 2022 due to harassment and hate campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, they released a song titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1GOmPx-Ba8\">“Shim El Yasmine,”\u003c/a> which translates to “Smell the Jasmine.” It’s a tender ballad about Sinno’s break-up with a man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was such a moment because I think it was the first time we had an openly gay Muslim singer sing in Arabic about what [they are] going through,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/-a2sOF_hhKw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/-a2sOF_hhKw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Salti said the common theme in all the music he plays is coexistence, whether it’s from artists living on the margins of Arab society or songs with more explicit messages of unity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of his go-to artists in the latter vein is Lebanese singer \u003ca href=\"https://www.taniasaleh.com/\">Tania Saleh\u003c/a> and her song \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_PbJg9v0CM\">“Omar and Ali.”\u003c/a> In it, she encourages Sunni and Shia Muslims to end their fighting and make peace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She says, ‘Get up Omar, get up Ali, shake hands and become brothers again,’” Salti explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On a more personal level, I myself happen to be a Christian Arab, but I’m always assumed to be Muslim,” he added. “A lot of people think the whole Arab world is Muslim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he doesn’t typically correct people because he doesn’t want to feed an idea that there’s anything wrong with being Muslim. But it’s a reminder of the stereotypes he and other Arabs and Arab Americans face — and an added motivation for him to continue showcasing different Arab communities and perspectives through his show.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘We need to build bridges’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ramzi’s dedication to amplifying indie Arab musicians has built him a solid reputation in that scene. Today, the show is a go-to platform for emerging Arab and Arab American musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m at a stage where every morning when I look at my email, and I look at my messages, there are people telling me about other people, [or] that I need to discover this band. Some bands send me their demos,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the pandemic, Salti has been pre-recording his shows on a more sporadic schedule and releasing them as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.arabology.org/p/all-my-podcasts.html\">podcast\u003c/a> on streaming platforms, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyf1lyybLSdVr6N4eOuLe0w\">video podcast\u003c/a> on YouTube. This summer, he’s spending time in Jordan, where he plans to interview artists for new episodes of \u003cem>Arabology\u003c/em>. He otherwise hasn’t released a new show in a while, which he said is intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels weird and inhuman, maybe, to be playing dance music from that region at a time where people in that region are living a nightmare,” Salti said, referring to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti said that instead, he’s been discovering poetry by poets in Gaza, set to music. He cites one such production by \u003ca href=\"http://www.checkpoint303.com/\">Checkpoint 303\u003c/a>, a nonprofit, experimental music collective founded by Tunisian artist SC Mocha and Palestinian artist SC Yosh. They \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4QbAMK41XY\">remixed\u003c/a> the viral poem by Palestinian poet and professor Refaat Alareer titled \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/itranslate123/status/1719701312990830934\">“If I Must Die.”\u003c/a> Alareer published the poem on social media just weeks before he was killed in Gaza by an Israeli airstrike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The song itself is powerful,” Salti said. “It will make you really, really think about the violence that’s going on and how many potential artists, singers, poets are disappearing before they’ve even seen the world or been given a chance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Salti acknowledges the power of music as a means of expression and hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of Arab artists and even artists in Gaza itself are finding that music and poetry [are] one of the few outlets they have left,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti also likes to share songs that combine Hebrew and Arabic when he comes across them. “I’m so proud of these artists who come together, you know, Jewish artists with Muslim artists recording a duet. That, to me, is beautiful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because while Salti may switch up songs for his music mixes, one tune remains constant — his commitment to opening hearts and minds through music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I want listeners to take away when they listen to one of my episodes has never changed, and that is to have a different view of the Arab world and to understand that the difference between East and West is not so vast; that we need to build bridges; that we can both learn from each other,” he said. “And for me, if music gets you to discover tolerance and coexistence, then I’ve done my job.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11993183/ramzi-salti-champions-indie-arab-musicians-with-arabology-podcast","authors":["11296"],"programs":["news_72","news_26731"],"categories":["news_29992","news_223","news_8"],"tags":["news_143","news_27626","news_6631","news_1425","news_4272","news_28426","news_21795","news_1928"],"featImg":"news_11993198","label":"news_26731"},"news_11991389":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11991389","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11991389","score":null,"sort":[1718930748000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"press-freedom-groups-want-charges-dropped-against-stanford-student-journalist","title":"Press Freedom Groups Want Charges Dropped Against Stanford Student Journalist","publishDate":1718930748,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Press Freedom Groups Want Charges Dropped Against Stanford Student Journalist | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>A consortium of press freedom organizations is calling on Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen not to pursue criminal charges against a student journalist who was arrested while covering a pro-Palestinian protest at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The First Amendment Coalition, the Student Press Law Center and two dozen other press organizations \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/2024/06/coalition-calls-on-da-to-decline-charges-against-stanford-student-journalist/\">issued a letter\u003c/a> to Rosen on Thursday asking him not to charge Dilan Gohill, a freshman student journalist for The Stanford Daily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gohill was one of 13 people arrested on June 5 when protesters broke into the university president’s office and barricaded themselves inside before law enforcement later entered and removed them.

The new method would teach children to decode words by sounding them out, a process known as phonics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although phonics, the ability to connect letters to sounds, has drawn the most attention, the science of reading focuses on four other pillars of literacy instruction: phonemic awareness, identifying distinct units of sounds; vocabulary; comprehension; and fluency. It is based on research on how the \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/why-theres-more-to-the-science-of-reading-than-phonics/695976\">brain connects \u003c/a>letters with sounds when learning to read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with mandating the science of reading approach to instruction, AB 2222 would require that all TK to fifth-grade teachers, literacy coaches and specialists take a 30-hour-minimum course in reading instruction by 2028. School districts and charter schools would purchase textbooks from an approved list endorsed by the State Board of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation goes against the state policy of local control that gives school districts authority to select curriculum and teaching methods as long as they meet state academic standards. Currently, the state encourages, but does not mandate, districts to incorporate instruction in the science of reading in the early grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a big bill,” said Yolie Flores, president of Families in Schools, a co-sponsor. “We’re very proud that it’s a big bill because that means it is truly consequential in the best way possible for children. It’s not a sort of tweak around the edges kind though, it’s the kind of bill that really brings transformation. So we are hoping that the Legislature sees beyond the sort of typical pushback and resistance, and in the end, I think, teachers will see that this was a huge benefit for them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Seeking compromise\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The bill’s author, Blanca Rubio (D-Baldwin Park) said she took CTA’s seven-page letter not as an outright rejection but as an opportunity for negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m glad they sent this letter,” she said. “They outline their objections and the reasons why, and that’s something I can work with. It’s not a flat, ‘No, we don’t want you to do it.’ They gave me specific items that I can look at and have a conversation about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that Assemblymember Muratsuchi asked her to work with the CTA on a compromise. She is also meeting with consultants for Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas) “to look at the big picture,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Flores says the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2024/legislative-analyst-update-projects-bigger-funding-drop-for-schools-community-colleges/706457\">budget problems\u003c/a>, with predictions of no money for new programs, may be a bigger hurdle to getting the bill passed than the CTA opposition. The cost of paying for the required professional development for teachers would total $200 million to $300 million, she said. Because it is a mandate, the state would be required to repay districts for the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is a drop in the bucket for something so transformational, so consequential,” Flores said. “I hope that the Legislature really comes to that realization. We’re in a budget deficit, but our budget is a statement of priorities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say that it is imperative that California mandate instruction in the science of reading. In 2023, just 43% of California third graders met the academic standards on the state’s standardized test in 2023. Only 27.2% of Black students, 32% of Latino students and 35% of lower-income children were reading at grade level, compared with 57.5% of white, 69% of Asian and 66% of non-low-income students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s foundational,” Flores said. “It’s not the only thing teachers need to know. It’s not the only thing that teachers will need to do and to adhere to, but it’s sort of the basic foundational knowledge of how children’s brains work in order to learn to read.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would sunset in 2028 when all teachers are required to have completed training. Beginning in July, all teacher preparation programs would be required to teach future educators to base literacy instruction on the science of reading.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Needs of English learners\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The CTA and other critics of AB 2222 charge that it ignores the need of English learners for oral language skills, vocabulary and comparison between their home languages and English, which they need in order to learn how to read.\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/california-lags-behind-other-states-in-bilingual-education-for-english-learners/701270\"> Four out of 10 students\u003c/a> in California start school as English learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck disputes this. “We actually emphasize oral language development,” he said. “This would be the first statute that would say when instructional materials are adopted, and when teachers are trained in the science of reading, they must include a focus on English learners and oral language development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from Californians Together, an advocacy organization for English learners and bilingual education, applauded the CTA’s opposition to the bill. They oppose the bill, rather than suggest amendments, because they disagree with its overall approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just don’t think this is the right bill to address literacy needs,” said Executive Director Martha Hernandez. “It’s very restrictive. We know that mandates don’t work. It lacks a robust, comprehensive approach for multilingual learners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Californians Together and the California Association for Bilingual Education have both said they would prefer California fund the training of teachers and full implementation of the \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/rl/cf/documents/elaeldfwintro.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English Language Arts/English Language Development Framework (PDF)\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The framework was adopted in 2014 and encourages, but does not mandate, explicit instruction in foundational skills and oral language development for English learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Language Teachers Association has requested the bill be amended to include information about teaching literacy in languages not based on the English alphabet, such as Japanese, Chinese or Arabic, according to Executive Director Liz Matchett. However, the organization has not yet taken a position on the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I agree that we want to support all children to be able to read. If they can’t read, they can’t participate in education, which is the one way that is proven to change people’s circumstances,” said Matchett, who teaches Spanish at Gunn High School in Palo Alto. “There’s nothing to oppose about that.

The new method would teach children to decode words by sounding them out, a process known as phonics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although phonics, the ability to connect letters to sounds, has drawn the most attention, the science of reading focuses on four other pillars of literacy instruction: phonemic awareness, identifying distinct units of sounds; vocabulary; comprehension; and fluency. It is based on research on how the \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/why-theres-more-to-the-science-of-reading-than-phonics/695976\">brain connects \u003c/a>letters with sounds when learning to read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with mandating the science of reading approach to instruction, AB 2222 would require that all TK to fifth-grade teachers, literacy coaches and specialists take a 30-hour-minimum course in reading instruction by 2028. School districts and charter schools would purchase textbooks from an approved list endorsed by the State Board of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation goes against the state policy of local control that gives school districts authority to select curriculum and teaching methods as long as they meet state academic standards. Currently, the state encourages, but does not mandate, districts to incorporate instruction in the science of reading in the early grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a big bill,” said Yolie Flores, president of Families in Schools, a co-sponsor. “We’re very proud that it’s a big bill because that means it is truly consequential in the best way possible for children. It’s not a sort of tweak around the edges kind though, it’s the kind of bill that really brings transformation. So we are hoping that the Legislature sees beyond the sort of typical pushback and resistance, and in the end, I think, teachers will see that this was a huge benefit for them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Seeking compromise\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The bill’s author, Blanca Rubio (D-Baldwin Park) said she took CTA’s seven-page letter not as an outright rejection but as an opportunity for negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m glad they sent this letter,” she said. “They outline their objections and the reasons why, and that’s something I can work with.

She is also meeting with consultants for Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas) “to look at the big picture,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Flores says the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2024/legislative-analyst-update-projects-bigger-funding-drop-for-schools-community-colleges/706457\">budget problems\u003c/a>, with predictions of no money for new programs, may be a bigger hurdle to getting the bill passed than the CTA opposition. The cost of paying for the required professional development for teachers would total $200 million to $300 million, she said. Because it is a mandate, the state would be required to repay districts for the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is a drop in the bucket for something so transformational, so consequential,” Flores said. “I hope that the Legislature really comes to that realization. We’re in a budget deficit, but our budget is a statement of priorities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say that it is imperative that California mandate instruction in the science of reading. In 2023, just 43% of California third graders met the academic standards on the state’s standardized test in 2023. Only 27.2% of Black students, 32% of Latino students and 35% of lower-income children were reading at grade level, compared with 57.5% of white, 69% of Asian and 66% of non-low-income students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s foundational,” Flores said. “It’s not the only thing teachers need to know. It’s not the only thing that teachers will need to do and to adhere to, but it’s sort of the basic foundational knowledge of how children’s brains work in order to learn to read.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would sunset in 2028 when all teachers are required to have completed training. Beginning in July, all teacher preparation programs would be required to teach future educators to base literacy instruction on the science of reading.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Needs of English learners\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The CTA and other critics of AB 2222 charge that it ignores the need of English learners for oral language skills, vocabulary and comparison between their home languages and English, which they need in order to learn how to read.\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/california-lags-behind-other-states-in-bilingual-education-for-english-learners/701270\"> Four out of 10 students\u003c/a> in California start school as English learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck disputes this. “We actually emphasize oral language development,” he said. “This would be the first statute that would say when instructional materials are adopted, and when teachers are trained in the science of reading, they must include a focus on English learners and oral language development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from Californians Together, an advocacy organization for English learners and bilingual education, applauded the CTA’s opposition to the bill. They oppose the bill, rather than suggest amendments, because they disagree with its overall approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just don’t think this is the right bill to address literacy needs,” said Executive Director Martha Hernandez. “It’s very restrictive. We know that mandates don’t work. It lacks a robust, comprehensive approach for multilingual learners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Californians Together and the California Association for Bilingual Education have both said they would prefer California fund the training of teachers and full implementation of the \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/rl/cf/documents/elaeldfwintro.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English Language Arts/English Language Development Framework (PDF)\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The framework was adopted in 2014 and encourages, but does not mandate, explicit instruction in foundational skills and oral language development for English learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Language Teachers Association has requested the bill be amended to include information about teaching literacy in languages not based on the English alphabet, such as Japanese, Chinese or Arabic, according to Executive Director Liz Matchett. However, the organization has not yet taken a position on the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I agree that we want to support all children to be able to read. If they can’t read, they can’t participate in education, which is the one way that is proven to change people’s circumstances,” said Matchett, who teaches Spanish at Gunn High School in Palo Alto. “There’s nothing to oppose about that.

Many noted the accessibility of her language, as well as her willingness to write from life experience as a way to speak on spirituality and family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before she was bell hooks, though, she was Gloria Watkins, a rising scholar teaching at Yale University in the 1980s. At that time, Rachel Chapman, now a tenured professor of anthropology at the University of Washington, had the professor as her undergraduate thesis advisor. Chapman remembers that her classes were highly sought after, and that she led a support group of Black women, called “Sisters of the Yam,” who idolized her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While working with hooks, Chapman recognized that much of her mentor’s work was concerned with the loss of Black life. “She was writing about what it means to be young and Black and angry and seeing clearly the thin line between being mad and madness, between radical action and personal self-destruction,” says Chapman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='large' align='right']Before she was bell hooks, though, she was Gloria Watkins, a rising scholar teaching at Yale University in the 1980s.[/pullquote]What Chapman witnessed at the time was someone working through the pain and the hurt that would later lead to “All About Love.” Chapman would see hooks again in Los Angeles, while she was working toward her doctoral degree at UCLA in 1992.

And that really reduces the number of people who I’m willing to interact with on that level,'” Chapman remembers hooks saying. “That gave me permission to not have to engage every person running their racism at me. I now do whatever gives me strength and move on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>hooks’s work with students and approach to education has also become part of her legacy, says Jody Greene, founder of the \u003ca href=\"https://citl.ucsc.edu/\">Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning\u003c/a> at UC Santa Cruz, where hooks received her doctoral degree. She says the writer’s books about the practice of teaching have been deeply influential to teachers like herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“hooks strongly believed in education as the cultivation of a human being and not just an instrument for creating good employees,” says Greene, who was a student at Yale during hooks’s time there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Professor Rachel Chapman, University of Washington\"]‘She was writing about what it means to be young and Black and angry.’[/pullquote]In her last decade of life, hooks wasn’t growing complacent in her ideas, friends say: She was actively learning and growing, giving talks and having conversations with other academics and public figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelby Chestnut, director of policy and programs at the Transgender Law Center, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oMmZIJijgY&t=1081s\">introduced hooks and Laverne Cox at their conversation at the New School\u003c/a> in 2014.

Linda Strong-Leek, former professor at Berea College and now provost at Haverford College, remembered hooks’s concern that “‘we had never seen a book with a Black boy just sitting and reading.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of her hooks’s books, such as “\u003ca href=\"https://www.lbyr.com/titles/bell-hooks/be-boy-buzz/9781484788400/\">Be Boy Buzz\u003c/a>,” were aimed at increasing literacy for children of color and providing meaningful representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='education']hooks gave over 30 years of her life to groundbreaking scholarship, but she also identified as an Appalachian scholar and chose to return to her home state of Kentucky in the last years of her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her book “\u003ca href=\"https://www.routledge.com/Belonging-A-Culture-of-Place/hooks/p/book/9780415968164\">Belonging: A Culture of Place\u003c/a>,” hooks wasn’t an abstract theorist, but someone grounded in the geography of her rural upbringing in contrast to city life.

Many noted the accessibility of her language, as well as her willingness to write from life experience as a way to speak on spirituality and family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before she was bell hooks, though, she was Gloria Watkins, a rising scholar teaching at Yale University in the 1980s. At that time, Rachel Chapman, now a tenured professor of anthropology at the University of Washington, had the professor as her undergraduate thesis advisor. Chapman remembers that her classes were highly sought after, and that she led a support group of Black women, called “Sisters of the Yam,” who idolized her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While working with hooks, Chapman recognized that much of her mentor’s work was concerned with the loss of Black life. “She was writing about what it means to be young and Black and angry and seeing clearly the thin line between being mad and madness, between radical action and personal self-destruction,” says Chapman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"Before she was bell hooks, though, she was Gloria Watkins, a rising scholar teaching at Yale University in the 1980s.","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"large","align":"right","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>What Chapman witnessed at the time was someone working through the pain and the hurt that would later lead to “All About Love.” Chapman would see hooks again in Los Angeles, while she was working toward her doctoral degree at UCLA in 1992.

And that really reduces the number of people who I’m willing to interact with on that level,'” Chapman remembers hooks saying. “That gave me permission to not have to engage every person running their racism at me. I now do whatever gives me strength and move on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>hooks’s work with students and approach to education has also become part of her legacy, says Jody Greene, founder of the \u003ca href=\"https://citl.ucsc.edu/\">Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning\u003c/a> at UC Santa Cruz, where hooks received her doctoral degree. She says the writer’s books about the practice of teaching have been deeply influential to teachers like herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“hooks strongly believed in education as the cultivation of a human being and not just an instrument for creating good employees,” says Greene, who was a student at Yale during hooks’s time there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘She was writing about what it means to be young and Black and angry.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"align":"right","size":"medium","citation":"Professor Rachel Chapman, University of Washington","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>In her last decade of life, hooks wasn’t growing complacent in her ideas, friends say: She was actively learning and growing, giving talks and having conversations with other academics and public figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelby Chestnut, director of policy and programs at the Transgender Law Center, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oMmZIJijgY&t=1081s\">introduced hooks and Laverne Cox at their conversation at the New School\u003c/a> in 2014.
