After chaotic fight to save Oakland schools, closures again considered

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 09:18:14 GMT

OAKLAND — Just months after a drawn-out battle over efforts to close several Oakland Unified School District campuses— an issue that last year led to sit-ins and even a hunger strike — the board that voted to reject those closures in January may be reversing itself.It now appears that the possibility of shuttering schools, or at least merging the smallest ones with better-resourced campuses, can’t be dismissed so easily in an embattled district that continues to struggle financially.According to recently approved budget adjustments, about one-fifth of the $10 million freed up by the school board’s latest plan would come from potentially merging some of the district’s campuses ahead of the 2024-25 school year.The March 9 decision signaled a dramatic and sudden change of course by the Oakland school board, which in January had rescinded the planned closures of five schools — the ones remaining on the schedule after Parker and La Escuelita elementary...

Fact check: Musk amplifies lie that Jan. 6 video was ‘censored’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 09:18:14 GMT

By Daniel Dale | CNNA conservative commentator with a substantial Twitter following went viral late last week by making false claims about the insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 — and Twitter owner Elon Musk amplified some of the misinformation, pushing it to millions of people.The conservative commentator, Chuck Callesto, inaccurately tweeted that various publicly available videos of January 6 had been “censored.” Musk amplified one of these claims. Callesto also put inaccurate captions on other January 6 footage to push a baseless narrative that the riot perpetrated by Trump supporters was actually carried out by left-wing Antifa activists.Here is a fact check of three of Callesto’s tweets.A comedian, not AntifaOn Friday, Callesto tweeted a video of a man who was putting on pro-Trump attire and urging another man to do the same in order to “blend in.” Callesto wrote: “JUST IN: Previously censored video re-emerges showing ANT...

Letters: Abusing racehorses | Praise achievements | Trans rights | Child care | Transfer is craven

Submit your letter to the editor via this form. Read more Letters to the Editor.We must stop abuseof racehorsesSo far this year, five young horses have died at Golden Gate Fields. Two died from colic, a terrible affliction, but mostly preventable if horses aren’t fed hard-to-digest, carbohydrate-loaded feed to boost their energy to race abnormally fast. Another victim collapsed after winning a race and sustained a severe injury, the result of horses being trained and raced before they reach musculoskeletal maturity. She was euthanized immediately. The causes of death of the other two remain undisclosed.Premature deaths aside, horses are tormented by being kept in 12-by-12-foot stalls 23 hours a day and prodded to race with pain-inflicting instruments. As they become unprofitable, some end up abandoned or in slaughterhouses abroad.When we realize that horseracing isn’t a sport but a legal betting vehicle, it becomes clear why the industry treats the horses it claims to be well-cared-...

By Bruce Schreiner | Associated PressFRANKFORT, Ky. — Republican lawmakers in Kentucky passed a measure Thursday to ban gender-affirming care for transgender minors, completing whirlwind voting on a repackaged proposal that triggered outrage and tears among opponents unable to stop the sweeping policymaking on a culture wars issue.Supporters of the proposal — which affects how gender is discussed in schools — beat a Thursday deadline to retain their power to override an expected gubernatorial veto.GOP supermajorities in the House and Senate overwhelmingly passed the bill, a day after a slimmed-down version had stalled in the Senate and seemingly left the issue in limbo. A cascade of shouting erupted from some bill opponents in the gallery after the Senate vote.The bill’s foes denounced the fast-track maneuvering and the expanded measure’s implications for trans youths. Overcome with emotion, a sobbing Rep. Josie Raymond said children would be harmed. “I’m emb...
