One of the most disturbing side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is not physical but xenophobic. Too many Asians and Pacific Islanders have been taking the heat since early last year for the spread of the novel coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China.
A news article published last summer and written by our colleague Ahn Do details some of the 800-plus reported racist taunts (“You started the corona!”) that had been hurled against Asian Americans as of July.

Local school districts are evaluating new possibilities for state grants after news broke Monday that California officials would be giving $2 billion to reopen campuses for students in transitional kindergarten through second grade by April 1.
“We are very encouraged to see our legislative leaders and Gov. Newsom reach an agreement on reopening schools, for all those schools throughout the state that have yet to reopen,” said Ocean View School District Supt. Carol Hansen.
Hansen said the district is currently working with union officials on a plan to transition from the in-person hybrid schedule to have students in school five days a week.
