Its portion of the lawsuit is still pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Problems for Black’s daughter, identified as L.G. in the lawsuit, started almost immediately after she enrolled in the district in third grade, Black said. In one incident, a white student teased L.G. because of her Afro-style hair, leading L.G. to throw an apple at him and get suspended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time L.G. was in fourth grade, the school placed her in a special class for students with emotional challenges, even though she did not have an Individualized Education Plan for special education. The girl felt isolated from her friends and floundered academically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Related Stories ","postid":"news_11989248,news_11991798,news_11985234"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>As a result, she was poorly equipped to handle middle school, Black said. The girl was suspended at least 20 times in sixth grade, and at one point, the school had her involuntarily detained (or “5150ed”) due to a perceived psychiatric emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By seventh grade, L.G. was enrolled in special education and began receiving services to help with executive functioning skills. In high school, she transferred to another school district, graduated early, and is now thriving, Black said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though L.G. is doing well now, she missed out on years of services Black believes she was entitled to, such as counseling. The ordeal took a toll on the entire family, Black said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a complete strain. I was getting calls nearly every day at work, and I didn’t know what to do,” said Black, who works as a community organizer in Oakland. “Psychologically, spiritually, mentally, it really weighed on me. I was exhausted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Black is pleased with the settlement, she wishes it went further. She’d like to see the complaint process expedited, so families can get responses sooner if they feel their child is being discriminated against; regular reports to school boards on discipline rates; and more involvement by parents whose children are subject to discrimination “so the people most impacted are part of the accountability process and can help devise solutions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She still harbors distrust of the public school system in general, saying it’s too often failed children like her daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The settlement sounds great, but what’s the follow-up?” Black said. “How does the next generation of kids not go through the same thing my daughter went through? Basically, schools need to treat Black students with humanity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11992394/state-and-aclu-agree-on-more-hands-on-approach-to-tracking-discrimination-in-schools","authors":["byline_news_11992394"],"categories":["news_31795","news_18540","news_8"],"tags":["news_350","news_25612","news_30911","news_20013","news_27626"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_11992395","label":"news_18481"},"news_11992373":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11992373","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11992373","score":null,"sort":[1719607013000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"yoshihiro-uchida-san-jose-state-coach-who-took-judo-to-olympic-stage-dies-at-104","title":"Yoshihiro Uchida, San José State Coach Who Took Judo to Olympic Stage, Dies at 104","publishDate":1719607013,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Yoshihiro Uchida, San José State Coach Who Took Judo to Olympic Stage, Dies at 104 | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Yoshihiro Uchida, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660424/san-joses-own-grandfather-of-judo-still-kicking-at-98\">renowned San José State University and Olympic coach\u003c/a> who helped establish judo as a competitive sport in the U.S., died early Thursday.

The launch comes about a decade after the university offered its first course on the science of coffee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the center in Davis, Director Bill Ristenpart said that historically, there has been much more of an emphasis on researching a beverage like wine and less so on studying coffee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to elevate coffee and make it a topic of academic research and an academic talent pipeline to help support the industry and help support what’s arguably the world’s most important beverage,” said Ristenpart, a professor of chemical engineering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people in the United States buy coffee that’s imported from places including Brazil, Colombia and Vietnam, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture; however, California is one of the few places in the country that grows coffee. The U.S. is the second-largest importer of coffee in the world behind the European Union, the agency said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Davis also has programs focused on researching winemaking and the brewing industries. The 7,000-square-foot Coffee Center facility is the first academic building in the nation devoted to coffee research and education, Ristenpart said. It is located in the UC Davis Arboretum near the campus’ Robert Mondavi Institute of Wine and Food Science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laudia Anokye-Bempah, a graduate student in biological systems engineering, said she wants to research coffee in part “to be able to control how your roasted beans are going to come out to the roaster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can control things like its acidity level,” Anokye-Bempah said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other U.S. colleges, including Texas A&M University and Vanderbilt University, that have delved into the study of coffee. However, the UC Davis Coffee Center stands out partly because it is focused on many aspects of coffee research, including agriculture and chemistry, said Edward Fischer, a professor of anthropology and director of the Institute for Coffee Studies at Vanderbilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Coffee is such a complex compound,” Fischer said. “It’s really important to bring together all of these different aspects, and that’s what Davis is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students often come out of Fischer’s coffee class viewing the world differently than it is typically discussed in an academic setting, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the Western academic tradition, we divide the world up into all these silos, right — biology and anthropology, economics and all that kind of stuff,” he said. “Coffee is a way of showing how all of those boundaries that we draw in the world are really arbitrary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camilla Yuan, a UC Davis alum and director of coffee and roasting at Camellia Coffee Roasters, a coffee shop in Sacramento, visited the Coffee Center in Davis last week, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having a center and having resources for folks who are interested in specialty coffee or just coffee world in general, I think, is super fascinating and cool,” Yuan said. “I’m glad that something like this is happening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11991468/uc-davis-opens-new-research-center-devoted-to-the-study-of-coffee","authors":["byline_news_11991468"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_34215","news_20013","news_27626","news_697"],"featImg":"news_11991495","label":"news"},"news_11991389":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11991389","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11991389","score":null,"sort":[1718930748000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"press-freedom-groups-want-charges-dropped-against-stanford-student-journalist","title":"Press Freedom Groups Want Charges Dropped Against Stanford Student Journalist","publishDate":1718930748,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Press Freedom Groups Want Charges Dropped Against Stanford Student Journalist | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>A consortium of press freedom organizations is calling on Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen not to pursue criminal charges against a student journalist who was arrested while covering a pro-Palestinian protest at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The First Amendment Coalition, the Student Press Law Center and two dozen other press organizations \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/2024/06/coalition-calls-on-da-to-decline-charges-against-stanford-student-journalist/\">issued a letter\u003c/a> to Rosen on Thursday asking him not to charge Dilan Gohill, a freshman student journalist for The Stanford Daily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gohill was one of 13 people arrested on June 5 when protesters broke into the university president’s office and barricaded themselves inside before law enforcement later entered and removed them.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
