The Los Angeles Unified School District this week approved a program specifically implemented to address and stop anti-gay bullying in schools.
The ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) and Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Anti-Bullying Resolution’ states that school staff should intervene when they witness incidents of bias or harassment, and that school curriculum should include age-appropriate positive images of LGBT people.
“Every single person has value and every single person has dignity regardless of the color of their skin, regardless of their religion or their political orientation or their sexual orientation,” LAUSD Superintendent John Deasy told KTLA.
Good good good.

Ventura, CA. Missing the ocean already.

I really wish people living there, or even the neighbors, would have started screwing with everyone. Flipping lights on and off, aiming fans at the curtains, setting off the car alarm, playing a recording of someone screaming.

College students stage a ‘Ramen-in’ outside Governor Jerry Brown’s office to protest proposed fee increases that they claim will force them to live on the instant noodles, in Los Angeles on March 4, 2011.
Wish I would have known about this. I would have headed down there with a box or two of my own in solidarity. Raising fees isn’t just going to force college students to live off ramen, it’s also going to force a large population of students, of all ages/backgrounds, out of school.
When is the government going to learn that the way to fix the budget and strengthen California’s economy and future is not to cut the education budget?

Conscientious Projector presents…
“BULLIED”
November 11th — 7pm.
The Armory Center for the Arts
145 North Raymond
Old Pasadena, CA
In response to the recent and tragic teen suicides resulting from anti-gay bullying, Conscientious Projector presents a special screening of Bullied: A Student, a School and a Case that Made History. Produced, written and co-directed by Peabody Award recipient and All Saints Church parishioner Bill Brummel for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Teaching Tolerance progam, this timely documentary chronicles the powerful story of Jamie Nabozny. Jamie suffered vicious verbal and physical abuse by classmates at his Ashland, Wisconsin middle school and high school in the 1990’s. Local officials failed to stop the attacks, despite pleas from Jamie and his parents, who subsequently filed a federal lawsuit against the school district, leading to a landmark court decision holding school officials culpable for not intervening in the harassment and violence against gay students. Despite the ruling, peer bullying of gay youth persists as a nationwide problem. “Students should never be afraid for their safety at school,” said Nabozny, now 34. “This film offers hope to students who are being harassed and should inspire educators to live up to their responsibility to stop the bullying that is shattering lives.
Filmmaker Bill Brummel, leading LGBT rights advocate Rev. Susan Russell and associate producer Jamie Hebert will join us for a community discussion following the film. The Armory is located at 145 North Raymond in Old Pasadena. Admission is free and the facility is accessible to disabled persons. For more information, contact Marty Coleman at 626.792.4941 or visit www.tolerance.org/bullied.
If you’re in the area, I’d highly recommend going. Every month, the Conscientious Projector group screens one film about a “hot topic” in the world, and often follows with a discussion involving filmmakers, activists, or simply anyone in attendance that feels that they have something to say. It’s a fun, informative evening, the location is right off the Gold Line Metro (Memorial Park station), and everyone there is friendly, intelligent, and welcoming.
Plus there’s free coffee.

Eighteen hours in San Diego isn’t enough, but it wouldn’t have felt right leaving without it. Spent the afternoon with my Dad walking around and testing out his new Nikon DSLR. Ended up at a sports bar watching the games and bantering back and forth about who was making it to the playoffs.
