The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department has issued an emergency brownout because of COVID-19. This means several units are being shut down temporarily because dozens of firefighters are in isolation. Meanwhile, for the second time in the last few months, someone has spray-painted hateful graffiti at San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas. Plus, a new variety of THC takes advantage of a “legal loophole.”

The local chapter of Diversify Our Narrative, a national student-led organization, has ambitious goals to make meaningful changes within their schools to promote diversity, inclusion and educational equity.
The San Dieguito Union High School District students in Diversify Our Narrative (DON) hope to encourage the district to incorporate more texts by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) authors in English and literature courses and to stoke more discussion on identity bias and race in the classroom. Their long-term goals include having ethnic studies as a separate, mandatory course for high school graduation.
