  • California Association of Independent Schools Statement on Gun
    XXXXX SFChronicle.com | Sunday, March 11, 2018 | A9 CaliforniaAssociation of IndependentSchools Statement on Gun Violence and School Safety As the Board of Directors of the California Association of Independent Schools, we join our Executive Director and the undersigned colleagues from our member schools —aswell as other independent, religious, and proprietaryschools throughout California —inanguish over the February14school shooting in Parkland, Florida. We extend our deepest sympathy to the families of the victims of this and everyschool shooting, and we stand in unwavering support of the survivors. We also stand in full solidarity with concerned educators nationwide. Today,school shootings are appallinglyroutine. Innocent lives of flourishingyoung people have been cut short, and students of everyage in countless communities are afraidtogotoschool. These students are our futureleaders. They and others, with amyriad of different perspectives, are also eager to change this paradigm by navigating our democratic processes, by engaging in respectful civic discourse, and by acting as catalysts for needed change, which we heartily applaud. We need to listen to their voices and respond to their pleas to make schools safe. As educators and as citizens, we are proud Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who believethatour countryneed notchoose between the rightful protection of responsiblegun ownership and the necessaryprevention of gun violence. We believe thatthe epidemic of gun violence in schools is an issue of non-partisan urgency, one thatdemands ahigher duty of care. We recall with admiration the ability to rise above partisanship on this issue displayed by two former Presidents, DemocratJimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan, both of whom owned guns. In 1994, they worked together to help reduce the number of dangerous weapons available to private citizens.

  • America's Urban Crisis a Decade After the Los Angeles Riots
    America’s Urban Crisis a Decade After the Los Angeles Riots Peter Dreier The tenth anniversary of the April 1992 riots in Los Angeles—which left fifty- five people dead and caused more than $1 billion in property damage,the most costly in the nation’s history—sparked a small industry of reports and assessments by think tanks and the news media. During the week before the anniversary,reporters from almost every major newspaper were swarm- ing around Los Angeles,preparing their predictable ten-years-later stories. They asked the expected questions: Why did it happen? Has any progress been made? And as the British paper The Guardian headlined its story,Could it happen again?1 The Los Angeles Times published a weeklong series of front-page articles reviewing the day the riots erupted, assessing contemporary conditions in the riot corridor, and examining the current state of race relations in America’s most racially diverse city. Reporters interviewed academic experts, community activists, ordinary residents, business leaders, and others; and the paper spon- sored a public opinion poll to probe how Angelenos now felt about their city. But the paper’s most telling story was buried on page 20 on the day of the anniversary,April 29. The headline was “Tax Cut Clouds Bush’s Urban Agenda.” Bush came to Los Angeles that day to speak at a church-sponsored community development center at the 1992 riot’s epicenter,South Los Angeles—an area with almost 700,000 residents, bigger than most cities. Reporters might have expected him to announce a new initiative to address the nation’s serious urban problems,but instead he simply touted his most visible urban program— encouraging urban churches to sponsor social programs such as homeless shel- ters,food kitchens,and drug counseling.
