FOUR IMPORTANT READS from the LA Times:  
1.  FINALLY SOMEBODY HAD THE GUTS TO SAY IT:  DAVID BREWER NEEDS TO GO
Everybody&#8217;s known this for what now seems like ever.  But no one would say so publically:  LAUSD Superintendant David Brewer is way, way over his head, and has been from [...]]]></description>

The largest of the protests is expected to be the Los Angeles march, which begins at 10:30 a.m. at City Hall.
*************************************************************************************************************** 
This time, word of the march seems to be spreading rapidly.  Notices are speeding around Facebook and other venues.  [...]]]></description>

The fury and the hurt continues to grow in response to the passage of Proposition 8, and to the fact that, on the same night that the nation made a historic step away from bigotry, over half of those voting in the State of California opted to take rights away from their fellow Californians, if [...]]]></description>

Proposition 8 is running very, very close right now.  
Talk to people you know.  Walk up talk to strangers, if need be.  Ask them very kindly to do the right thing.  
Do not allow the lies and fear&#8212;spread by commercials bought with millions of dollars in out-of-state money&#8212;to talk our fellow [...]]]></description>

(It&#8217;s a dirty job, but somebody&#8217;s got to do it.)

NOTE:  THERE&#8217;S  A VERY SHORT VERSION AT THE END in case you want to print it out.
(Thank you again to the always fabulous, Alan Mittelstaedt, and to my USC J202 students who researched the issues so intelligently and well.)

Read.  And heed.

		<description><![CDATA[
USC students Kelsey Clark, Steffi Lau, and  Maria Niklas wrote about the very confusing Proposition 9, the so-called Crime Victim&#8217;s Bill of Rights.  (Frankly, I thought they each did a better job in explaining the issue than the talking head who was talking about Prop. 9 on NPR station, KPCC the other day.)

On this proposition, USC students Merdith Deane, Kristy Lucero, and Natasha Yasher all wrote smart explorations of the issue of drug rehab instead of incarceration for certain drug crimes.  When they had concluded thier research, Meridith and Kristy decided that the proposition was a good idea in theory but too expensive and possibly poory [...]]]></description>

LAST WEEK I ASSIGNED some of my smart USC students to each write a 300-word news story explaining one of the propositions that will appear on the California ballot on Tuesday.  
Below you&#8217;ll find clips from the resulting commentaries, with still more to come tomorrow.
