  • CA Students Urge Assembly Members to Pass AB
    May 26, 2021 The Honorable Members of the California State Assembly State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Thousands of CA Public School Students Strongly Urge Support for AB 101 Dear Members of the Assembly, We are a coalition of California high school and college students known as Teach Our History California. Made up of the youth organizations Diversify Our Narrative and GENup, we represent 10,000 youth leaders from across the State fighting for change. Our mission is to ensure that students across California high schools have meaningful opportunities to engage with the vast, diverse, and rich histories of people of color; and thus, we are in deep support of AB101 which will require high schools to provide ethnic studies starting in academic year 2025-26 and students to take at least one semester of an A-G approved ethnic studies course to graduate starting in 2029-30. Our original petition made in support of AB331, linked here, was signed by over 26,000 CA students and adult allies in support of passing Ethnic Studies. Please see appended to this letter our letter in support of AB331, which lists the names of all our original petition supporters. We know AB101 has the capacity to have an immense positive impact on student education, but also on student lives as a whole. For many students, our communities continue to be systematically excluded from narratives presented to us in our classrooms. By passing AB101, we can change the precedent of exclusion and allow millions of students to learn the histories of their peoples.

    RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY J THOMAS PARKER* INTRODUCTION This Survey Article examines the significant developments in the Indiana law of professional responsibility from October 1, 2011 until September 30, 2012. The Indiana Supreme Court’s attorney disciplinary orders and changes the court makes to the Indiana Rules for the Admission and Discipline of Attorneys and the Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct are central to the subject of professional responsibility. Before examining the Indiana Supreme Court’s most significant decisions, the Article will take time to consider some trends and lessons that can be found in less noteworthy decisions. The Indiana Supreme Court publishes its decisions via the Internet,1 as well as through traditional media, making the review of attorney discipline decisions quite easy. From the first of October 2011 until the last of September of 2012, the Indiana Supreme Court issued eighty-five orders in regards to the discipline of the practicing bar.2 Of those eighty-five decisions, many can be categorized as “housekeeping”; they track the progress of individual matters rather than present the court’s definitive analysis and conclusions about specific allegations.3 Even these housekeeping matters, however, are worth considering. For example, there were several cases where the court suspended individuals for failing to cooperate4 * Chief of Staff, Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council.
