Lincoln High teacher sued for sex talk
Many people have told me how sick it made them reading the story. Imagine being the person living through it.— August 31, 2019 2:02 p.m.
Lincoln High teacher sued for sex talk
Looks like Marcel deleted his comment, in case anyone is wondering why I addressed a Marcel. He said my article is offensive to a certain demographic and asked why this story is focused on when the same thing is happening in other schools. I asked him to tell me about any other school in which a teacher was accused of trying to pimp out his own students. He did not tell me of any and responded by deleting his comment. I also responded to him that I had asked San Diego police detectives, prosecutors from district attorney's office and anti-human trafficking activists if they had ever heard of a case of a teacher pimping out their own students. Nobody I spoke to had ever heard of a situation like this before. I'm leaving my responses here because I know Marcel is not the only person asking these kinds of questions. I have heard of people trying to attribute false motives to this story, as if there is anything else to this than reporting allegations of an extreme type of misconduct no decent person would defend, regardless of their demographic.— August 31, 2019 1:57 p.m.
Lincoln High teacher sued for sex talk
media can only cover a story someone is willing to tell them about. If there are sexual harassment victims who want to go public they should contact the media.— August 29, 2019 6:15 p.m.
San Diego Unified paid $400k for claim against Lincoln High coach
isn't preponderance more than a maybe? Doesn't it mean it more likely happened than didn't? And criminal is not just the absence of doubt but the absence of reasonable doubt. And for civil if there is a jury, doesn't it also require a unanimous jury or is it a majority of the jury in civil cases?— July 23, 2019 11:33 p.m.
Abortion wars at UCSD
LS thanks for sharing what's on your mind. But where in the article is a regurgitation of anything from CMP, much less anything depicting them as a primary source? In fact, they did not even respond to provide comment. The basis of the story are the emails CMP published from UCSD. UCSD verified their legitimacy. They were not fabricated. Those are facts. UCSD is more of a source in this story than CMP, as are the ethicists from USD and Georgetown, who provide differing opinions. Tell me how this story can be more balanced and I'll try harder in the future. As to the CMP videos, sounds like you are advocating censoring the relevant and important information contained in them. That's not what balanced journalism does. What makes you think the CMP videos are "fake?" I looked into the accusations that the videos are deceptively edited. On the surface there is no sign that words were taken from different statements and spliced together to forge fabricated statements. It's obvious Planned Parenthood officials actually made the statements they are in the videos making. Those videos have been the basis for investigations which led to state action to defund Planned Parenthood in Texas for misconduct and the successful prosecution in Orange County. The fifth circuit court of appeals upheld the videos as credible evidence. The only evidence I could find that the statements in the videos were not actually made is that Planned Parenthood said so. Eyer family: thanks for the note— June 12, 2019 1:01 p.m.
San Diego Unified dumps anti-Islamophobia initiative
Neither of the competing narratives state Muslim students in San Diego public schools are never harassed because of their religion. They disagree over how common it is. CAIR said it happens frequently. The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund argued it is relatively rare. The only data I had supporting CAIR's claim was their own. The state's Healthy Kids survey shows a different picture (anyone I know who works in public schools corroborates that survey with their own observations - religion is the least likely motive for kids to bully each other.) The data on reported incidents of bullying from 2015 and 2016 produced in the lawsuit also shows a different picture. I asked San Diego Unified for data on bullying reports from 2017 and 2018. They did not respond.— May 25, 2019 4:40 p.m.
Why did Kevin Beiser accusers keep quiet so long?
DA spokesperson: "Our office does not conduct initial police investigations. You would have to check in with the law enforcement agency in the cities where the alleged crimes occurred to see if there has been a police report and investigation."— March 27, 2019 2:38 p.m.
Miranda Escoto tried to report abuse of students
SalULloyd, Would you clarify? a council member wanted to propose to one of your classmates when you were in high school? You can reach me at [email protected] if you wish to elaborate.— March 18, 2019 12:40 p.m.
Susan Davis debates GOP challenger almost 1/3 her age
If she can keep Davis below 60% it will be something most Republican challengers have not been able to do.— October 15, 2018 2:08 p.m.
Susan Davis debates GOP challenger almost 1/3 her age
I'm not familiar with the op eds you're referring to but if you saw the film RBG the interviewer asked Ginsburg why she didn't retire while Obama still had a chance to nominate her replacement. I didn't see ageism in that. It seemed to be a politically motivated question in light of the reality that Ginsburg may have to be replaced by the next President, who turned out to be someone she probably would not want to name her replacement. Whether she can make it through Trump's presidency seemed to be one of the themes of that film.— October 14, 2018 6:46 a.m.
