Library and Rec Center Cuts Are Threat to Public Safety, Councilmembers Say<\/a><\/p>\n

by Mariana Mart\u00ednez Barba | Voice of San Diego<\/p>\n

Public safety doesn\u2019t just mean cops and firefighters.<\/p>\n

That was the message of several city councilmembers to Mayor Todd Gloria during last week\u2019s budget hearings.<\/p>\n

In his recent budget plan, Gloria proposed increasing the Police Department\u2019s budget by $15 million and the fire department\u2019s budget by $18.9 million. At the same time, he proposed cutting the budgets for libraries and recreation centers. Some councilmembers say it\u2019s the wrong approach to public safety.<\/p>\n

\u2018Where\u2019s the Native American section?\u2019 Rincon entrepreneur Ruth-Ann Thorn talks beauty, health, inclusion<\/a><\/p>\n

By\u00a0Brooke Binkowski<\/a>\u00a0| Times of San Diego<\/p>\n

Ruth-Ann Thorn<\/a>\u00a0was shopping with her daughter at a Sephora one day when her daughter asked a question that changed everything: Where\u2019s the Native American section?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt kind of started a whole explanation of, Is there anything in beauty that is represented by the first people of this land?\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I found out that there wasn\u2019t really anything that had ever gone mainstream \u2014 the things that there were out there were in small reservations, or maybe in gift stores, small handmade items.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thorn is\u00a0a member<\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0Rincon Band<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Pay\u00f3mkawichum or Luise\u00f1o Indians,<\/a>\u00a0making her not just a San Diego native but a descendant of the people who were here long before Spanish colonizers first arrived to the region. She is also a longtime entrepreneur, television presenter, and producer who has dedicated her life to the\u00a0struggle<\/a>\u00a0for Indigenous representation.<\/p>\n

Sex and Porn in California Schools: One Million Sexually Explicit Books in School Libraries and English Lit Classes<\/a><\/p>\n

By Katy Grimes | California Globe<\/p>\n

There are more than 1 million sexually explicit books in K-12 public schools across the country. These books aren\u2019t just \u201csexually explicit,\u201d they are boldly pornographic \u2013 lewd, obscene, salacious. And children not only have access to them, they are encouraged to read these books.<\/p>\n

Anyone \u2013 parents, teachers or school board members \u2013 who challenge sexually explicit curriculum and library book-selections, find themselves the recipients of rabid political hatred.<\/p>\n

In California, the Globe has been documenting this bizarre but exceedingly dangerous practice for several years, and wondering aloud who or what is behind it.<\/p>\n
