|
California’s debate over a proposed law to tighten kids’ exemptions for mandatory vaccines was never subtle. Lawmakers sponsoring the bill say they’ve been receiving death threats for months. Someone in June mailed Assembly members dozens of bricks etched with appeals to kill the measure. On Twitter, celebrities heckle vaccine proponents and each side warns of deadly consequences.

Parents block California’s effort to investigate ‘fake’ vaccine exemptions |
|
California medical regulators have been flooded with complaints about doctors accused of writing improper vaccine exemptions for children, with at least 186 accusations filed in the last four years. But a large number of those complaints— more than 40% so far — have been closed. Only one doctor has been disciplined. The Medical Board of California and advocates of tighter vaccine rules say that’s because one group has stymied many investigations: uncooperative parents.

‘Separate programs for separate communities’: California school district agrees to desegregate |
|
A California school district outside of San Francisco agreed to desegregate its schools on Friday, after a two-year state investigation found that the district had “knowingly and intentionally maintained and exacerbated” racial segregation and even established an intentionally segregated school. Students in the district, Sausalito Marin City, are divided into two starkly different schools, according to the state Justice Department, which conducted the investigation.

Stanislaus County schools add suicide hotline numbers to student IDs. Here’s why |
|
Suicide is the second-leading cause of deaths among youth ages 10 to 24. All area school districts are doing something about it.

Schools can also choose to add local crisis hotline numbers.
