Note: Today from 5 pm to 6 pm I was on KDVS with Ron Glick. Richard Estes was apparently at home with his new baby–so congratulations to Richard and Lisa on the birth of their son. If you would like to listen to archives log on here. We spoke on a wide variety of topics including Caesar Chavez Day, the human relations commission and the anti-discrimination ordinance, the school board, former Superintendent David Murphy, Don Saylor, Lamar Heystek, the Malcolm X controversy and a wide variety of other controversies.

  1. On today’s show, the hosts brought up the situation that occurred a few years ago where a student was expelled for having an unloaded shotgun locked in his truck. They stated that one of the conditions of the expulsion was that if the student could not get a class he needed to graduate at DSIS, he would be readmitted to the High School (if only for that class). A parallel was drawn to the current Malcolm-X related case, where the affected student was removed from a Calculus class that may not be available elsewhere.

    This compromise was offered up by a single board member as a last minute addition to the expulsion ruling. This occurred only _after_ the board was assured that the student would be able to get all the classes he needed to graduate at DSIS, and his graduation status would in no way be affected by the transfer. So it was more of a symbolic gesture on the part of that particular board member, and was accepted by the majority in the ruling since they’d already been assured it wouldn’t actually happen.
