Netflix CEO donates $75,000 to LAUSD board member Ref Rodriguez's legal defense |
|
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, a California political megadonor with far-reaching ties to pro-charter school causes and candidates, has put up $75,000 to help pay legal bills for the defense of embattled Los Angeles Unified School Board member Ref Rodriguez.
Hastings made the contribution on Oct. 9 to a legal defense fund established by Rodriguez, who will enter a plea next week to allegations that he laundered $24,000 through straw donors into his 2015 school board election campaign.

Download the free app for OCDE’s One Billion Acts of Kindness campaign |
|
Since OCDE launched its One Billion Acts of Kindness initiative in 2016, more than 9.6 million good deeds have been logged on the kindness1billion.org website, and many of you have shared personal stories about kindness in your community. Some of you have also sent us helpful feedback, and one of the more popular suggestions has been this: Why don’t you guys create a kindness app? That’s not a bad a good idea, we thought, so we developed an app. (And yes, we’re counting it as a kind act.) |

A Year Of Love And Struggle In A New High School |
|
At Ron Brown College Preparatory High School, students aren't kids or boys.
In the classrooms and cafeteria, they're kings. That's just one of the many things that stand out in this new boys-only, public school in Washington, D.C. The school opened in August 2016 to a class of roughly 100 young men. All are freshmen. All are students of color. All are determined to change the narrative.
