UNA NACIÓN AGRADECIDA RINDE UN CÁLIDO HOMENAJE
A JOE BIDEN
A GRATEFUL NATION PAYS WARM TRIBUTE TO JOE BIDEN
José López Zamorano
La Red Hispana Asus
81 años, Joe Biden no pudo contener lágrimas de emoción cuando fue recibido con un estruendoso “We Love Joe” la medianoche del lunes en la jornada inaugural de la Convención Nacional Demócrata en Chicago.
De su saco oscuro extrajo un pañuelo blanco para secarse la mirada y fundirse en un sensible abrazo con su hija Ashley.
“¿Están listos para votar por la libertad, por la democracia y por los Estados Unidos? “, preguntó Biden a los 5,000 delegados demócratas. “¿Están listos para elegir a Kamala Harris y a Tim Walz?”. La multitud respondió con un metafórico “Sí” en la forma de una ovación de pie.
El ceremonial traspaso de la antorcha generacional a Kamala marcó un punto de inflexión en la historia política de Estados Unidos: Un hombre blanco de Pensilvania entregó la estafeta a la primera mujer de color que será la candidata presidencial de uno de los dos principales partidos políticos de Estado Unidos.
Es verdad que la transferencia de la antorcha no fue tersa. Luchador incansable, Biden se resistió a las presiones del partido hasta que fue inevitable.
Pero su decisión fue una prueba más de su carácter: el estadista visionario que reconoce la realidad y no el terco octogenario que pudo haber pasado a la historia como el hombre que le abrió las puertas de la Casa Blanca a Donald Trump.
Aunque le restan 5 meses en el poder, Biden puso esta semana un final simbólico a una carrera de 53 años en la política.
Su trayectoria comenzó en 1970, cuando fue elegido para el Consejo del Condado de New Castle en Delaware. Dos años después, a los 29 años, se convirtió en una de las personas más jóvenes elegidas para el Senado.
La trágica pérdida de su primera esposa e hija, poco después de esa elección, podría haber terminado con su carrera antes de que comenzara, pero Biden perseveró y mostró la resiliencia personal que llegaría a definir su vida pública.
Como senador durante 36 años, se ganó la reputación de legislador pragmático, conocido por su capacidad de forjar acuerdos bipartidistas sobre cuestiones críticas, desde derechos civiles hasta migración.
Su profunda empatía, basada en la pérdida de su hijo Beau, lo distinguió como un político que comprende el costo humano de las decisiones tomadas en Washington.
Durante más de medio siglo, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. dejará un legado de logros como una presencia constante en la vida pública, sorteando sus muchas tormentas personales y
políticas con mano firme, espíritu resiliente y un compromiso inquebrantable con los valores y principios que definieron su carrera.
“Amo este trabajo, pero amo más a este país… Durante 50 años di lo mejor de mí, les di mi corazón y mi alma y a cambio he sido bendecido millones de veces. Espero que sepan lo agradecido que estoy con todos ustedes”, terminó Biden. Y el pueblo, al que sirvió con decencia y humildad, le respondió con un sencillo pero poderoso “Thank you, Joe”.

“Are you ready to vote for freedom, for democracy and for the United States?” Biden asked the 5,000 Democratic delegates. “Are you ready to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz?” The crowd responded with a metaphorical “Yes” in the form of a standing ovation.
The ceremonial passing of the generational torch to Kamala marked a turning point in American political history: A white man from Pennsylvania handed the baton to the first woman of color to be the presidential candidate of one of the two major political parties in the United States.

81 years old, Joe Biden could not hold back tears of emotion when he was greeted with a thunderous “We Love Joe” at midnight on Monday on the opening day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
From his dark jacket he took out a white handkerchief to dry his eyes and embrace his daughter Ashley in a tender embrace.
It is true that the transfer of the torch was not smooth. A tireless fighter, Biden resisted the pressures of the party until it was inevitable.
But his decision was further proof of his character: the visionary statesman who recognizes reality and not the stubborn octogenarian who could have gone down in history as the man who opened the doors of the White House to Donald Trump.
Although he has five months left in power, Biden this week put a symbolic end to a 53-year career in politics. His career began in 1970, when he was elected to the New Castle County Council in Delaware. Two years later, at age 29, he became one of the youngest people elected to the Senate. The tragic loss of his first wife and daughter shortly after that election could have ended his career before it began, but Biden persevered and displayed the personal resilience that would come to define his public life.
As a senator for 36 years, he earned a reputation as a pragmatic legislator, known for his ability to forge bipartisan agreements on critical issues from civil rights to immigration.
His deep empathy, grounded in the loss of his son Beau, distinguished him as a politician who understands the human cost of decisions made in Washington.
For more than half a century, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. will leave a legacy of accomplishment as a constant presence in public life, weathering his many personal and political storms with a steady hand, resilient spirit, and an unwavering commitment to the values and principles that defined his career.
“I love this job, but I love this country more… For 50 years I gave my best, I gave you my heart and soul, and in return I have been blessed millions of times over. I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you,” Biden concluded. And the people, whom he served with decency and humility, responded with a simple but powerful “Thank you, Joe.”

MORE CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS ARE BANNING SMARTPHONES , BUT KIDS KEEP BRINGING THEM
Schools that banned phones a few years ago have advice for other districts as the governor calls for a crackdown.
Carolyn Jones & Khari Johnson CalMatters
AtBullard High School in Fresno, it’s easy to see the benefits of banning students’ cellphones. Bullying is down and socialization is up, principal Armen Torigian said.
Enforcing the smartphone restrictions? That’s been harder.
Instead of putting their devices in magnetically locked pouches, like they’re supposed to, some kids will stick something else in there instead, like a disused old phone, a calculator, a glue bottle or just the phone case. Others attack the pouch, pulling at stitches, cutting the bottom, or defacing it so it looks closed when it’s really open. Most students comply, but those who don’t create disproportionate chaos.
“You should see how bad it is,” Torigian said. “It’s great to say no phones, but I don’t think people realize the addiction of the phones and what students will go to tell you ‘No, you’re not taking my phone.’”
Bullard, which began restricting phones two years ago, is a step ahead of other schools around the state that have moved recently to prohibit cellphones in classrooms. Bullard and other pioneering schools offer a preview of how such bans might play out as they become more common. Educators who have enacted the smartphone restrictions said they help bolster student participation and reduce bullying but also raise challenges, like how to effectively keep phones locked up against determined
students and how to identify and treat kids truly addicted to their devices.
Citing Bullard as an example, Gov. Gavin Newsom last week urged school districts statewide to “act now” and adopt similar restrictions on smartphone use, reminding them that a 2019 law gives them the authority to do so. Los Angeles Unified, the nation’s second-largest school district, recently approved plans to ban phones in January. One bill before the state Legislature would impose similar limits statewide while another would ban the use of social media at school. Another would prevent social media companies from sending notifications during school hours as part of a broader set of regulations intended to disrupt social media addiction.
Calls to limit how students use smartphones are driven in part by concerned educators. A Pew Research Center survey released in June found that 1 in 3 middle school teachers and nearly 3 in 4 high school teachers call smartphones a major problem. During school hours in a single day, the average student receives 60 notifications and spends 43 minutes — roughly the length of a classroom period — on their phone, according to a 2023 study by Common Sense Media.
There is growing pressure to protect young people from excessive screen time generally:
• In June, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy urged Congress to require social media companies to place warning labels on their content in order to protect young people
• Attorneys general from 45 U.S. states filed law-
suits against Meta for failing to protect children
• Released in March, the popular book The Anxious Generation correlates declining mental health among young people with smartphone adoption and encourages parents to demand school districts ban smartphones until high school
The moves to limit smartphone use in California put it near the forefront of an increasingly national trend. In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul has reportedly been mulling a statewide school smartphone ban for several months now. Florida, Ohio, and Indiana have all imposed some degree of statewide restrictions on phones in schools, and several other states have introduced similar legislation. Education Week in June said 11 states either restrict or encourage school districts to restrict student phone use.
In San Bernardino, ban leads to higher teacher satisfaction
Teachers have had classroom phone policies for years; what’s new at schools like Bullard is that their bans are blanket, campus-wide restrictions. Many of the schools that moved early to adopt such bans are smaller and charter schools, like Soar Academy, a TK-8 charter school with 430 mostly low-income students in San Bernardino. Like Bullard, it also found enforcement of its ban was tough. Suspending students wasn’t an option. Neither was yanking phones from students’ hands. That left an honor system, which relied on students’ willingness to accept that smartphones and social media are harmful to their mental health and a distraction from learning.
“The key was that we needed 100% buy-in from teachers. There couldn’t be a weak link,” said Soar principal Trisha Lancaster. “It was scary, because we weren’t sure it was going to work. But we were determined to try.”
Lancaster said it also helped not to give parents or students a choice in the matter. The school simply presented the new policy, alongside ample research on the harmful effects of cellphones and social media on young people, and made it clear what the punishments would be.
For the first violation, staff would keep a student’s phone for the day and call their parents. Punishments would escalate until the sixth offense, when a student would have to meet with the school board, whose members might suggest the student enroll elsewhere.
At Soar, the idea originated at the end of the 2022-23 school year, when teachers said they were fed up with distracted students and an overall dispiriting school climate. Students, Lancaster said, “had lost their social skills.”
So the staff decided to ban phones during class, at recess, at lunch and after school — essentially, all times except when in a special area where parents or others can pick them up from school. Students must keep phones off and in backpacks when they are not permitted.
The first year of the ban went smoother than expected, Lancaster said. Some students and parents protested, but most understood
the policy was in students’ best interests. Test scores didn’t budge much, but at the end of the school year, a survey of teachers showed much higher job satisfaction than they recorded previously. And walking across campus, the improvements are obvious, Lancaster said.
“Everyone on campus is so much happier. You see kids actually socializing, problem solving, enjoying themselves,” Lancaster said, choking up as she described the school atmosphere. “It’s true, it’s one more thing to enforce. But education matters, and now kids are learning. That’s the No. 1 reason we did this.”
Bans from San Mateo to San Diego
Soar’s experience has been mirrored on a larger scale in the San Mateo-Foster City School District, which serves 10,000 students at 21 TK-8 schools south of San Francisco. After a full-time return to campus in 2022, teachers in the district found many students were “interacting intensely with cellphones in a way we didn’t see before the pandemic,” said superintendent Diego Ochoa, and so the school district adopted a smartphone ban for four middle schools in 2022.
Administrators were convinced to do so following a trip to a nearby high school with a smartphone ban. There, they saw students speaking to each other and looking at one another during break time instead of their phones.
Ochoa said the benefits of locking smartphones away is evident from improved test scores and an anonymous annual student survey that found a decline in depression, bullying, and fights in the 2023-24 school year relative to prior years. But saying the smartphone ban led to those benefits is tricky because they could have also been caused by other policy changes that happened at the same time, including a ”restorative” approach to discipline that relied less on detention and suspension and more on support from counselors. Still, when students were surveyed specifically about the policy and the biggest difference in their education since it was put into place, they said that they pay more attention in class.
Ron Dyste also implemented a smartphone ban and, like Ochoa, recommends them. Dyste is principal at Urban Discovery Academy, a TK12 charter school in San Diego, which banned cellphones during the 2023-24 academic year amid an uptick in bullying, harassment and anxiety among students, staff told CalMatters. Nearly 90% of discipline cases, across Urban Discovery Academy and a school where he worked previously, could be traced to misuse of phones or social media, including students filming fights, spreading nude photos of classmates and encouraging students to kill themselves.
“I may never get some of those images out of my head. It’s horrible, what kids can do to each other,” Dyste said. “The damage to our kids and our communities is real.”
Dyste got the idea to ban phones when he and his wife went to a Dave Chapelle performance where audience members were required to secure their phones in locked pouches.
“My wife said, why don’t we do this in schools?” he said. “We knew we had to do something.”
Over last summer, the school sent out notices to families about the new policy, explaining the rationale. Some students complained, but parents were thrilled, Dyste said. And the improvements in campus climate were almost immediate.
“The damage to our kids and our communities is real.”
-Ron Dyste, principal, Urban Discovery Academy in San Diego
Instead of “hiding away with their screens,” said
Jenni Owen, the school’s chief operations officer, students spent their breaks talking, dancing, playing volleyball, and having fun. They developed empathy and a sense of community, she said.
At the end of the academic year, the school logged zero fights. The previous year, the school’s suspension rate was 13.5%, almost four times the state average.
“For schools that are wondering if they should take this on, I think the answer is, we have to,” Dyste said. “If we don’t educate kids on how and when to use this technology, we’re going to continue seeing a rise in suicide, sexual harassment, and anxiety.”
State legislators have recognized the importance of healthier technology use among children. California students are supposed to learn about “appropriate, responsible, and healthy behavior… related to current technology” under a media literacy law passed in October.
To pouch or not to pouch
To enforce smartphone bans, some schools rely on smartphone lockers or locked pouches like the kind Dyste saw in use at the Dave Chappelle show.
He tried using locked pouches from the Los Angeles-based company Yondr but encountered numerous issues. Some kids were breaking and smashing the pouches to open them, or they’d listen to music all day by connecting their earbuds to their locked-away phones using Bluetooth.
“We had to return what was left of the equipment,” he said. Instead of going with Yondr, which wanted $6,000 to cover 110 kids, Dyste found clear, plastic phone lockers on Amazon that cost $50 each and put one in each classroom.
Yondr told CalMatters: “Our pouches are designed to withstand heavy-duty usage, and we are continuously working to improve the durability of our solution. However, there will always be students who try to push boundaries, especially when policies are initially rolled out. For this reason, it is critical that our team works directly with districts and administrators in rolling out the Yondr Program, to ensure that the most effective policies and procedures are implemented for successful school-wide adoption. Without adherence to strong policies, schools may struggle with student compliance.”
Soar Academy also considered purchasing Yondr phone pouches but was discouraged by the $19,000 price tag.
The San Mateo-Foster City School District paid
$50,000 to obtain Yondr pouches for roughly 3,000 students. To use them, staff hand out pouches at school entryways each morning, then students swab the pouch over a demagnetizer to unlock the pouch at the end of the day.
Kids who want an exception to the rule — for a family emergency for example — must come to the school front office and ask for permission.
Yondr pouches come with a hefty price tag, Ochoa said, but he thinks it’s worth it to improve student focus.
“Call up five random superintendents, I don’t care where they’re at and ask them, how much would you spend to have your students pay more attention? It’s worth millions,” he said.
Mixed feelings among students
Whether phones get locked in a clear box or a silver pouch, Oakland High School senior Leah West said she finds it punitive to require students to lock their phones away before they have broken any rules with the devices. While Oakland High School does not have a blanket smartphone ban, her former English teacher sometimes locked student phones in Yondr pouches.
“We should be given a chance to prove ourselves,” she said, adding that such an approach can motivate a rebellious streak in students like her who like freedom and don’t like when she isn’t trusted to make a responsible decision.
Louisa Perry-Picciotto, who graduated from high school in Alameda in June, said students with jobs rely on their phones for work updates and all teens use their phones to communicate with their friends.
Still, she’s grateful her parents didn’t get her a smartphone until she was in eighth grade.
“I get distracted easily, and without a phone I was a lot more connected to the world,” she said.
Edamevoh Ajayi, who is a junior at Oakland Technical High School, said there’s no question some students don’t pay attention in class because they’re busy texting or playing games. Those students would definitely benefit from rules surrounding cellphone use like the kind being implemented at her school this year.
But she feels like she has a strong sense of selfcontrol and a desire to learn, and doesn’t need a phone ban.
“When they take away my belongings, I feel like I’m being treated like a child,” she said. At her school, policies vary by classroom. In general, students are free to use their phones between classes and at lunch.
When students use their phones in class it can be frustrating for everyone else, said Fremont High School science teacher Chris Jackson. It puts teachers in a tough position: Either ignore that student and carry on for the sake of the students who are listening or disrupt learning for all students and confront them.
In the long run, Jackson said he’s worried that Black and brown students, who have historically faced higher rates of punishment than other students, will again bear the brunt of disciplinary actions related to smartphone bans. Rather than punishment, Jackson would prefer to see solutions that address root issues like addiction that lead students to use their devices in violation of the rules. So no matter what policy school districts adopt, he wants the focus to remain on teaching students digital literacy and how social media can be a risk to their health.
Course corrections
Some schools who helped pioneer smartphone bans have reassessed their initial approach.
This year, Bullard is changing its policy to allow students to access their smartphones at lunch time. Torigian said school administrators wanted to make room for important communications, for example by allowing students who pick up younger siblings to text with their parents. They also hoped the looser rules would encourage more students to comply with the ban.
If kids don’t comply, teachers call parents, and if they still refuse they’re sent to what the school calls the re-engagement center. Starting last month, California began prohibiting suspensions for “willful defiance.” Torigian believes that schools need an exemption from the policy in order to enforce smartphone restrictions. He wants it back because he said he needs a way to hold kids accountable.
“That’s why the governor’s got to give us some leeway on this willful defiance; you can’t do one [smartphone restrictions] without the other.”
Diego Ochoa, superintendent, San Mateo-Foster City School District
Ochoa said if he had to do it over again in San Mateo-Foster City he would devote more time to explaining to students why they adopted such a policy before putting it into place. Getting a smartphone is a big deal for middle school students, a milestone for adolescents that represents more freedom and autonomy, and it’s counterproductive for the school environment if they feel punished or something they value is taken away with little explanation.
“Our teenagers told us, ‘you forgot to explain why we’re doing this,’” he said, adding that even if a small percentage of kids violate the policy it can be really harmful academically and to school culture. “Even with your conviction to implement a policy like this, spend the time developing the language around the policy and explaining it to your students.”
Common Sense Media CEO Jim Steyer, whose nonprofit is focused on how children use media and technology, agreed that it works best to explain to kids why a rule to limit smartphone access at school is necessary. Parents and teachers need the same explanation so that they can help enforce some restrictions in order to keep kids safe and healthy.
“Any even remotely engaged parent is going to want their kid to do well in school, and is going to want them to understand why phones and social media platforms get in the way of learning and can be really distracting and can affect your mental health,” he said.

MÁS ESCUELAS DE CALIFORNIA ESTÁN PROHIBIENDO EL USO DE LOS TELÉFONOS CELULARES EN HORAS ESCOLARES PERO
LOS NIÑOS LOS SIGUEN LLEVANDO
Las escuelas que prohibieron los teléfonos hace unos años dan consejos a otros distritos mientras el gobernador pide medidas severas.
Carolyn Jones & Khari Johnson CalMatters
Enla escuela secundaria Bullard de Fresno, es fácil ver los beneficios de prohibir los teléfonos celulares a los estudiantes. El acoso escolar ha disminuido y la socialización ha aumentado, dijo el director Armen Torigian.
¿Hacer cumplir las restricciones a los teléfonos inteligentes? Eso ha sido más difícil.
En lugar de colocar sus dispositivos en fundas con cierre magnético, como se supone que deben hacer, algunos niños meten algo más, como un teléfono viejo en desuso, una calculadora, un frasco de pegamento o simplemente la funda del teléfono. Otros atacan la funda, tirando de los puntos, cortando la parte inferior o desfigurándola para que parezca cerrada cuando en realidad está abierta. La mayoría de los estudiantes cumplen, pero los que no lo hacen crean un caos desproporcionado.
“Deberían ver lo mal que está la situación”, dijo Torigian. “Está bien decir que no se permiten los teléfonos, pero no creo que la gente se dé cuenta de la adicción que generan los teléfonos y de lo que los estudiantes pueden hacer para decirles: ‘No, no me quitarás mi teléfono’”.
Bullard, que comenzó a restringir los teléfonos hace dos años, está un paso por delante de otras escuelas del estado que han tomado medidas recientemente para prohibir los teléfonos celulares en las aulas. Bullard y otras escuelas pioneras ofrecen un avance de cómo podrían resultar estas prohibiciones a medida que se vuelvan más comunes. Los educadores que han promulgado las restricciones a los teléfonos inteligentes dijeron que ayudan a impulsar la participación de los estudiantes y reducen el acoso, pero también plantean desafíos, como cómo mantener los teléfonos bloqueados de manera efectiva para evitar que los estudiantes determinados puedan usarlos y cómo identificar y tratar a los niños verdaderamente adictos a sus dispositivos.
Citando a Bullard como ejemplo, el gobernador Gavin Newsom instó la semana pasada a los distritos escolares de todo el estado a “actuar ahora” y adoptar restricciones similares sobre el uso de teléfonos inteligentes, recordándoles que una ley de 2019 les da la autoridad para hacerlo. El Distrito Escolar Unificado de Los Ángeles, el segundo distrito escolar más grande del país, aprobó recientemente planes para prohibir los teléfonos en enero. Un proyecto de ley ante la Legislatura estatal impondría límites similares en todo el estado, mientras que otro prohibiría el uso de las redes sociales en la escuela. Otro impediría que las empresas de redes sociales envíen notificaciones durante el horario escolar como parte de un conjunto más amplio de regulaciones destinadas a interrumpir la adicción a las redes sociales.
Los llamados a limitar el uso que hacen los estudiantes de los teléfonos inteligentes son en parte impulsados por educadores preocupados. Una encuesta del Pew Research Center publicada en junio encontró que 1 de cada 3 maestros de escuela secundaria y casi 3 de cada 4 maestros de escuela secundaria consideran que los teléfonos inteligentes son un problema importante. Durante las horas escolares de un solo día, el estudiante promedio recibe 60 notificaciones y pasa 43 minutos (aproximadamente la duración de un período de clase) en su teléfono, según un estudio de 2023 de Common Sense Media.
Existe una creciente presión para proteger a los jóvenes del tiempo excesivo frente a las pantallas en general:
• En junio, el director general de sanidad de Estados Unidos, Dr. Vivek Murthy, instó al Congreso a exigir a las empresas de redes sociales que coloquen etiquetas de advertencia en
su contenido para proteger a los jóvenes.
• Fiscales generales de 45 estados de EE. UU. presentaron demandas contra Meta por no proteger a los niños
• El popular libro The Anxious Generation, publicado en marzo, relaciona el deterioro de la

salud mental entre los jóvenes con la adopción de teléfonos inteligentes y alienta a los padres a exigir que los distritos escolares prohíban los teléfonos inteligentes hasta la escuela secundaria.
Las medidas para limitar el uso de teléfonos inteligentes en California lo colocan cerca del primer plano de una tendencia cada vez más nacional. En Nueva York, la gobernadora Kathy Hochul ha estado considerando la posibilidad de prohibir el uso de teléfonos inteligentes en las escuelas a nivel estatal desde hace varios meses. Florida, Ohio e Indiana han impuesto algún grado de restricciones a nivel estatal sobre los teléfonos en las escuelas, y varios otros estados han presentado una legislación similar. Education Week en junio dijo que 11 estados restringen o alientan a los distritos escolares a restringir el uso de teléfonos por parte de los estudiantes.
En San Bernardino, la prohibición genera mayor satisfacción de los docentes
Los profesores han tenido políticas sobre el uso de teléfonos en el aula durante años; lo nuevo en escuelas como Bullard es que sus prohibiciones son restricciones generales para todo el plantel. Muchas de las escuelas que se adelantaron a adoptar dichas prohibiciones son escuelas charter más pequeñas, como Soar Academy, una escuela charter de TK-8 con 430 estudiantes, en su mayoría de bajos ingresos, en San Bernardino. Al igual que Bullard, también descubrió que la aplicación de su prohibición era dura. Suspender a los estudiantes no era una opción. Tampoco lo era quitarles los teléfonos de las manos. Eso dejó un sistema de honor, que dependía de la voluntad de los estudiantes de aceptar que los teléfonos inteligentes y las redes sociales son perjudiciales para su salud mental y una distracción del aprendizaje.
“La clave era que necesitábamos el 100% de la implicación de los docentes. No podía haber ningún punto débil”, dijo la directora de Soar, Trisha Lancaster. “Daba miedo, porque no estábamos seguros de que fuera a funcionar. Pero estábamos decididos a intentarlo”.
Lancaster dijo que también ayudó el hecho de no darles a los padres o estudiantes la opción de elegir en el asunto. La escuela simplemente presentó la nueva política, junto con una amplia investigación sobre los efectos nocivos de los teléfonos celulares y las redes sociales en los jóvenes, y dejó en claro cuáles serían los castigos.
En el caso de la primera infracción, el personal retendría el teléfono del estudiante durante el día y llamaría a sus padres. Los castigos se intensificarían hasta la sexta infracción, cuando el estudiante tendría que reunirse con el consejo escolar, cuyos miembros podrían sugerirle que se matriculara en otro lugar.
En Soar, la idea surgió a fines del año escolar 2022-23, cuando los maestros dijeron que estaban hartos de los estudiantes distraídos y de un clima escolar general desalentador. Los estudiantes, dijo Lancaster, “habían perdido sus habilidades sociales”.
Por ello, el personal decidió prohibir los teléfonos durante las clases, los recreos, el almuerzo y después de la escuela; básicamente, en todo momento, excepto cuando se encuentren en una zona especial donde los padres u otras personas puedan recogerlos de la escuela. Los estudiantes deben mantener los teléfonos apagados y en las mochilas cuando no se les permita.

El primer año de la prohibición fue más tranquilo de lo esperado, dijo Lancaster. Algunos estudiantes y padres protestaron, pero la mayoría entendió que la política era en beneficio de los estudiantes. Los resultados de las pruebas no cambiaron mucho, pero al final del año escolar, una encuesta realizada a los maestros mostró una satisfacción laboral mucho mayor que la registrada anteriormente. Y al caminar por el campus, las mejoras son obvias, dijo Lancaster.
“Todos en el plantel están mucho más felices. Se ve a los niños socializando, resolviendo problemas, divirtiéndose”, dijo Lancaster, con un nudo en la garganta mientras describía el ambiente escolar. “Es verdad, es una cosa más que hay que hacer cumplir. Pero la educación es importante y ahora los niños están aprendiendo. Esa es la razón principal por la que hicimos esto”.
Prohibiciones desde San Mateo hasta San Diego
La experiencia de Soar se ha reflejado a mayor escala en el Distrito Escolar de San MateoFoster City, que atiende a 10,000 estudiantes en 21 escuelas TK-8 al sur de San Francisco. Después de un regreso a tiempo completo al campus en 2022, los maestros del distrito descubrieron que muchos estudiantes estaban “interactuando intensamente con los teléfonos celulares de una manera que no veíamos antes de la pandemia”, dijo el superintendente Diego Ochoa, por lo que el distrito escolar adoptó una prohibición de teléfonos inteligentes para cuatro escuelas secundarias en 2022.
Los administradores se convencieron de hacerlo después de una visita a una escuela secundaria cercana donde estaba prohibido el uso de teléfonos inteligentes. Allí, vieron a estudiantes hablando entre ellos y mirándose entre sí durante el recreo en lugar de mirar sus teléfonos.
Ochoa dijo que los beneficios de bloquear los teléfonos inteligentes son evidentes en las mejores calificaciones de las pruebas y en una encuesta anual anónima a estudiantes que encontró una disminución en la depresión, el acoso y las peleas en el año escolar 2023-24 en relación con los años anteriores. Pero decir que la prohibición de los teléfonos inteligentes condujo a esos beneficios es complicado porque también podrían haber sido causados por otros cambios de política que ocurrieron al mismo tiempo, incluido un enfoque “restaurativo” de la disciplina que dependía menos de la detención y la suspensión y más del apoyo de los consejeros. Aun así, cuando se encuestó a los estudiantes específicamente sobre la política y la mayor diferencia en su educación desde que se implementó, dijeron que prestan más atención en clase.
Ron Dyste también implementó una prohibición de teléfonos inteligentes y, al igual que Ochoa, los recomienda. Dyste es director de Urban Discovery Academy, una escuela autónoma de TK-12 en San Diego, que prohibió los teléfonos celulares durante el año académico 2023-24 en medio de un aumento en el acoso, el hostigamiento y la ansiedad entre los estudiantes, dijo el personal a CalMatters. Casi el 90% de los casos de disciplina, en Urban Discovery Academy y una escuela en la que trabajó anteriormente, podrían atribuirse al mal uso de los teléfonos o las redes sociales, incluidos estudiantes que filmaban peleas, difundían fotos de compañeros desnudos y alentaban a los estudiantes a suicidarse.
“Es posible que nunca me saque de la cabeza algunas de esas imágenes. Es horrible lo que los niños pueden hacerse entre sí”, dijo Dyste. “El daño que sufren nuestros niños y nuestras comunidades es real”.
A Dyste se le ocurrió la idea de prohibir los teléfonos cuando él y su esposa fueron a una actuación de Dave Chapelle donde se pidió a los espectadores que guardaran sus teléfonos en fundas cerradas.
“Mi esposa me preguntó por qué no hacíamos esto en las escuelas”, dijo. “Sabíamos que teníamos que hacer algo”.
Durante el verano pasado, la escuela envió avisos a las familias sobre la nueva política, explicando el motivo. Algunos estudiantes se quejaron, pero los padres estaban encantados, dijo Dyste. Y las mejoras en el clima del campus fueron casi inmediatas.
“El daño a nuestros niños y nuestras comunidades es real”.
-Ron Dyste, director de Urban Discovery Academy en San Diego
En lugar de “esconderse detrás de las pantallas”, dijo Jenni Owen, directora de operaciones de la escuela, los estudiantes pasaron sus descansos hablando, bailando, jugando voleibol y divirtiéndose. Desarrollaron empatía y un sentido de comunidad, dijo.
Al final del año académico, la escuela no registró ninguna pelea. El año anterior, la tasa de suspensiones de la escuela fue del 13.5%, casi cuatro veces el promedio estatal.
“Para las escuelas que se preguntan si deberían adoptar esta medida, creo que la respuesta es que debemos hacerlo”, afirmó Dyste.
“Si no educamos a los niños sobre cómo y cuándo utilizar esta tecnología, seguiremos viendo un aumento de los suicidios, el acoso sexual y la ansiedad”.
Los legisladores estatales han reconocido la importancia de un uso más saludable de la tecnología entre los niños. Según una ley de alfabetización mediática aprobada en octubre, se supone que los estudiantes de California deben aprender sobre “un comportamiento apropiado, responsable y saludable… relacionado con la tecnología actual”.
¿Empacar o no embolsar?
Para hacer cumplir las prohibiciones de teléfonos inteligentes, algunas escuelas recurren a casilleros para teléfonos inteligentes o bolsas con candado como las que Dyste vio en uso en el show de Dave Chappelle.
Intentó utilizar bolsas con candado de la empresa Yondr, con sede en Los Ángeles, pero se encontró con numerosos problemas. Algunos niños rompían y destrozaban las bolsas para abrirlas o escuchaban música todo el día conectando sus auriculares a sus teléfonos bloqueados mediante Bluetooth.
“Tuvimos que devolver lo que quedaba del equipo”, dijo. En lugar de optar por Yondr, que quería 6,000 dólares para cubrir a 110 niños, Dyste encontró casilleros de plástico transparente para teléfonos en Amazon que costaban 50 dólares cada uno y puso uno en cada aula. Yondr le dijo a CalMatters: “Nuestras bolsas están diseñadas para soportar un uso intensivo y trabajamos continuamente para mejorar la durabilidad de nuestra solución. Sin embargo, siempre habrá estudiantes que intenten superar los límites, especialmente cuando se implementan las políticas inicialmente. Por este motivo, es fundamental que nuestro equipo trabaje directamente con los distritos y los administradores en la implementación del Programa Yondr, para garantizar que se implementen las políticas y los procedimientos más efectivos para una adopción exitosa en toda la escuela. Sin el cumplimiento de políticas sólidas, las escuelas pueden tener dificultades para que los estudiantes las cumplan”. Soar Academy también consideró comprar
fundas para teléfonos Yondr, pero se desanimó por el precio de $19,000.
El Distrito Escolar de San Mateo-Foster City pagó 50,000 dólares para obtener bolsas Yondr para aproximadamente 3,000 estudiantes. Para utilizarlas, el personal reparte bolsas en las entradas de la escuela cada mañana, luego los estudiantes pasan un hisopo por la bolsa sobre un desmagnetizador para desbloquearla al final del día. Los niños que quieran una excepción a la regla (por ejemplo, para una emergencia familiar) deben acudir a la oficina principal de la escuela y pedir permiso.
Las bolsas Yondr tienen un precio elevado, dijo Ochoa, pero cree que vale la pena para mejorar la concentración de los estudiantes.
“Llamen a cinco superintendentes al azar, no me importa dónde estén, y pregúntenles cuánto gastarían para que sus estudiantes presten más atención. Vale millones”, dijo. Sentimientos encontrados entre los estudiantes
Leah West, estudiante de último año de la escuela secundaria de Oakland, dijo que le parece punitivo exigir a los estudiantes que guarden sus teléfonos bajo llave en una caja transparente o en una bolsa plateada, antes de que hayan infringido alguna regla con ellos.
Si bien la escuela secundaria de Oakland no tiene una prohibición general de los teléfonos inteligentes, su ex profesora de inglés a veces guardaba los teléfonos de los estudiantes bajo llave en bolsas Yondr.
“Deberían darnos una oportunidad de demostrar lo que valemos”, dijo, y agregó que ese enfoque puede motivar una tendencia rebelde en estudiantes como ella, a quienes les gusta la libertad y no les gusta que no se confíe en ellas para tomar una decisión responsable.
Louisa Perry-Picciotto, quien se graduó de la escuela secundaria en Alameda en junio, dijo que los estudiantes con trabajo dependen de sus teléfonos para recibir actualizaciones laborales y todos los adolescentes usan sus teléfonos para comunicarse con sus amigos.
Aun así, está agradecida de que sus padres no le hayan comprado un teléfono inteligente hasta que estaba en octavo grado.
“Me distraigo fácilmente y sin teléfono estaba mucho más conectada con el mundo”, dijo.
Edamevoh Ajayi, estudiante de tercer año en la escuela secundaria técnica de Oakland, dijo que no hay duda de que algunos estudiantes no prestan atención en clase porque están ocupados enviando mensajes de texto o jugando. Esos estudiantes definitivamente se beneficiarían de reglas relacionadas con el uso de teléfonos celulares como las que se están implementando en su escuela este año.
Pero ella siente que tiene un fuerte sentido de autocontrol y un deseo de aprender, y no necesita que le prohíban el teléfono.
“Cuando me quitan mis pertenencias, siento que me tratan como a una niña”, dijo. En su escuela, las políticas varían según el aula. En general, los estudiantes pueden usar sus teléfonos entre clases y durante el almuerzo.
Cuando los estudiantes usan sus teléfonos en clase, puede ser frustrante para todos los demás, dijo el maestro de ciencias de la escuela secundaria Fremont, Chris Jackson. Esto pone a los maestros en una posición difícil: o ignoran a ese estudiante y continúan por el bien de los estudiantes que están escuchando o interrumpen el aprendizaje de todos los estudiantes y los confrontan.
A largo plazo, Jackson dijo que le preocupa que los estudiantes negros y latinos, que históricamente han enfrentado tasas más
altas de castigo que otros estudiantes, vuelvan a soportar el peso de las acciones disciplinarias relacionadas con las prohibiciones de teléfonos inteligentes. En lugar de castigos, Jackson preferiría ver soluciones que aborden problemas de raíz como la adicción que lleva a los estudiantes a usar sus dispositivos en violación de las reglas. Por lo tanto, sin importar qué política adopten los distritos escolares, él quiere que el enfoque siga siendo enseñar a los estudiantes alfabetización digital y cómo las redes sociales pueden ser un riesgo para su salud.
Correcciones del curso
Algunas escuelas que ayudaron a ser pioneras en la prohibición de los teléfonos inteligentes han reevaluado su enfoque inicial.
Este año, Bullard está cambiando su política para permitir que los estudiantes accedan a sus teléfonos inteligentes a la hora del almuerzo. Torigian dijo que los administradores de la escuela querían hacer espacio para comunicaciones importantes, por ejemplo, permitiendo que los estudiantes que recogieran a sus hermanos menores enviaran mensajes de texto a sus padres. También esperaban que las reglas más flexibles alentaran a más estudiantes a cumplir con la prohibición.
Si los niños no cumplen, los maestros llaman a los padres y, si siguen negándose, los envían a lo que la escuela llama el centro de reinserción. A partir del mes pasado, California comenzó a prohibir las suspensiones por “desafío deliberado“. Torigian cree que las escuelas necesitan una exención de la política para hacer cumplir las restricciones sobre los teléfonos inteligentes. Quiere que se la devuelvan porque dijo que necesita una forma de hacer que los niños rindan cuentas.
“Es por eso que el gobernador debe darnos cierto margen de maniobra en este desafío deliberado; no se puede hacer una cosa [las restricciones a los teléfonos inteligentes] sin la otra”.
Ochoa dijo que si tuviera que hacerlo de nuevo en San Mateo-Foster City, dedicaría más tiempo a explicarles a los estudiantes por qué adoptaron esa política antes de ponerla en práctica. Obtener un teléfono inteligente es un gran logro para los estudiantes de secundaria, un hito para los adolescentes que representa más libertad y autonomía, y es contraproducente para el entorno escolar si se sienten castigados o si se les quita algo que valoran sin apenas explicación.
“Nuestros adolescentes nos dijeron: ‘Olvidaron explicar por qué estamos haciendo esto’”, dijo, y agregó que incluso si un pequeño porcentaje de niños viola la política, puede ser realmente perjudicial académicamente y para la cultura escolar. “Incluso con su convicción de implementar una política como esta, dediquen tiempo a desarrollar el lenguaje en torno a la política y a explicársela a sus estudiantes”.
Jim Steyer, director ejecutivo de Common Sense Media, cuya organización sin fines de lucro se centra en el uso que hacen los niños de los medios y la tecnología, coincidió en que lo mejor es explicarles a los niños por qué es necesaria una norma que limite el acceso a los teléfonos inteligentes en la escuela. Los padres y los maestros necesitan la misma explicación para poder ayudar a aplicar algunas restricciones con el fin de mantener a los niños seguros y saludables.
“Cualquier padre, incluso mínimamente comprometido, querrá que a sus hijos les vaya bien en la escuela y que comprendan por qué los teléfonos y las plataformas de redes sociales interfieren en el aprendizaje, pueden ser una verdadera distracción y afectar la salud mental”, afirmó.
GAVIN NEWSOM FIRMA NUEVAS LEYES CONTRA EL ROBO EN COMERCIOS MINORISTAS MIENTRAS LOS
VOTANTES SOPESAN PENAS AÚN MÁS DURAS
El gobernador Gavin Newsom firmó proyectos de ley que tienen como objetivo facilitar el procesamiento del robo en comercios minoristas.
Está pidiendo a los votantes que rechacen una medida electoral que impondría sanciones aún más severas.
ElNigel Duara CalMatters
gobernador Gavin Newsom, todavía dolido por una derrota pública el mes pasado, firmó un paquete de proyectos de ley el 16 de agosto que él y los legisladores prometieron que combatirán el creciente robo en el comercio minorista.
Los 10 proyectos de ley tienen como objetivo facilitar el procesamiento de personas sospechosas de robo de vehículos y de comercios minoristas sin deshacer los cambios que los votantes aprobaron hace una década que redujeron las penas de prisión por delitos no violentos.
En noviembre, los votantes verán una medida electoral separada, la Proposición 36, que iría más allá al aumentar las sentencias por delitos contra la propiedad y delitos relacionados con el fentanilo. Newsom y otros demócratas se oponen a la medida electoral, que según ellos restablecería políticas que, según ellos, no lograron mejorar la seguridad pública, incluso cuando llenaron las prisiones con delincuentes no violentos.
Los proyectos de ley que firmó Newsom convertirían las condenas reiteradas por robo en un delito grave, reunirían los delitos cometidos en varios condados en un solo tribunal para que puedan ser acusados como un delito grave y permitirían a la policía arrestar a alguien bajo sospecha de robo en tiendas minoristas incluso si el oficial no es testigo del delito.
El hurto en tiendas y el robo en comercios minoristas son “el problema que está en el centro de la conciencia de muchos californianos”, dijo Newsom durante la firma del acuerdo en un Home Depot en San José el 16 de agosto, donde estuvo acompañado por legisladores demócratas y el fiscal general Rob Bonta. “No nos dimos cuenta de este problema de la nada”.
“Esto es lo que realmente importa. Los comerciantes y minoristas lo entienden”, afirmó Newsom.
La firma de Newsom se produce 45 días después del fracaso de un proyecto de ley contra el delito, que esperaba que defendiera a los republicanos y a algunos demócratas conservadores que exigían cambios importantes a un proyecto de una década de duración destinado a reducir la población carcelaria de California. El proyecto de ley habría incluido una medida adicional en la boleta electoral de noviembre para competir con la Propuesta 36.
Un contingente de demócratas se opuso o retuvo votos a favor del proyecto de ley, porque dijeron que afectaría desproporcionadamente a las comunidades de color al tiempo que restablecería algunas de las políticas de justicia penal que una vez empujaron a las cárceles de California a albergar más del doble de su capacidad.
Cada vez que llega otra sequía, surge una serie de sugerencias. Echamos un vistazo a las estrategias que podrían funcionar, junto con las más extravagantes, y los obstáculos que enfrentan. Leer más →
Una nueva encuesta sugiere que los votantes están a favor de penas más severas para algunos delitos. Una encuesta de Los Angeles Times a más de 3,000 posibles votantes encontró un fuerte apoyo a la Propuesta 36 y preocupaciones significativas sobre el robo en tiendas. Alrededor del 56% de los encuestados dijo que votaría a favor.
El director de la encuesta, Mark DiCamillo, atribuyó el apoyo a una medida más dura contra el crimen a la “gran visibilidad” de los delitos minoristas.
Las estadísticas sobre delitos contra la propiedad muestran que las tasas de delitos contra la propiedad en 2023 (específicamente, hurtos y robos en comercios) se dispararon después de la pandemia de COVID19Según un análisis del Instituto de Políticas Públicas de California, la tasa de hurto en tiendas es más alta que en cualquier otro momento desde al menos el año 2000. Los autores señalaron que los hurtos en tiendas tienden a no denunciarse, por lo que las cifras reales probablemente sean más altas.
Los demócratas dicen que están escuchando a los votantes hablar sobre el crimen, y algunos de ellos se están distanciando de Newsom para apoyar la Proposición 36.
“Si bien estos proyectos de ley son un primer paso importante para abordar la crisis del robo en comercios minoristas, son solo eso: un primer paso”, dijo en una declaración escrita el alcalde de San José, Matt Mahan, un demócrata que apoya la Propuesta 36. “Para abordar por completo el aumento del robo en comercios minoristas es necesario reconocer una de las principales causas subyacentes de esos robos: la adicción a las drogas y al alcohol. Al igual que el gobernador, nunca quiero volver a la era del encarcelamiento masivo. Pero el momento de comenzar la era del tratamiento masivo es ahora”.
En 2014, los votantes aprobaron la Proposición 47, cuyo objetivo era reducir el hacinamiento en las prisiones de California, en parte convirtiendo algunos delitos graves en delitos menores. Entre esos cambios se encontraba elevar el umbral para el delito de hurto en tiendas a 950 dólares.
mental en lugar de ser encarceladas.También podría acabar costándole al sistema penitenciario cientos de millones de dólares al año alojar a más personas.
Newsom firmó los siguientes proyectos de ley:
• El Proyecto de Ley Senatorial 905 del Senador Scott Wiener, demócrata de San Francisco, elimina la “laguna legal de la puerta cerrada”, que requería que los fiscales probaran que alguien entró a un vehículo cerrado para condenar a un sospechoso de robo de auto.
• El Proyecto de Ley de la Asamblea 1779 de la asambleísta Jacqui Irwin, demócrata de Thousand Oaks, permite a los fiscales recopilar delitos en varios condados en un solo tribunal para que puedan ser acusados como delitos graves.
La Propuesta 47 convirtió algunos cargos simples de posesión de drogas en delitos menores y permitió que las personas que fueron condenadas por delitos graves por esos cargos antes de 2014 los reclasificaran a delitos menores.
Esa reestructuración del sistema de justicia penal ha tenido impactos mensurables: un informe de febrero de la Junta de Correcciones Estatales y Comunitarias encontró que el estado ahorró $93 millones entre 2019 y 2023 al desviar a más de 21,000 personas de la cárcel o prisión y brindarles tratamiento por abuso de sustancias y salud mental.
Según el estudio, esas 21,000 personas tenían una tasa de reincidencia del 15.3%, mucho menor que la tasa estatal de alrededor del 40%.
En la década transcurrida desde entonces, la Propuesta 47 se ha convertido en un objetivo conservador, a la que algunos alguaciles y fiscales culpan por los videos virales de ladrones convergiendo en tiendas departamentales y por el aumento de algunos delitos contra la propiedad.
Este año, propusieron una derogación —la Propuesta 36— que permitiría a los fiscales de distrito acusar a las personas de un delito grave en una tercera infracción por posesión de drogas o por robos de menos de 950 dólares. También permitiría penas más severas para las personas que trafican con fentanilo que provoca la muerte de alguien.
Newsom dijo que la propuesta de revertir la Prop. 47 costará al estado miles de millones de dólares, principalmente al aumentar el gasto en prisiones y el sistema de justicia penal.
“Estas cosas son una relación directa de causa y efecto”, dijo Newsom. “Pasamos por esto en los años 80, pasamos por esto en los años 90 con el encarcelamiento masivo. La delincuencia era mayor, no menor. No quiero volver a esa situación”.
El proyecto de ley crearía un “delito grave con tratamiento obligatorio” que permitiría a las personas condenadas por múltiples delitos de posesión de drogas la opción de participar en un tratamiento de drogas y salud
• El Proyecto de Ley Senatorial 1144 de la Senadora Nancy Skinner, demócrata de Berkeley, facilita el procesamiento de las redes organizadas de robo minorista que venden bienes robados en plataformas en línea.
• El Proyecto de Ley de la Asamblea 2943 del asambleísta Rick Chavez Zbur, demócrata de Los Ángeles, facilita que la policía arreste a personas bajo sospecha de robo minorista cuando los oficiales no presencian un delito. Permite a los fiscales recopilar los robos cometidos por un sospechoso para alcanzar el umbral de $950 para los cargos por robo grave.
• El proyecto de ley 1802 de la Asamblea, presentado por el asambleísta Reggie Jones-Sawyer, demócrata de Los Ángeles, haría permanente el delito de robo organizado en comercios y haría permanentes los grupos de trabajo regionales contra delitos contra la propiedad que se esperaba que expiraran.
• El proyecto de ley 3209 de la Asamblea, presentado por el asambleísta Marc Berman, demócrata de Palo Alto, permite que las tiendas obtengan órdenes de restricción contra las personas que acosen a los empleados, roben o vandalicen sus negocios.
• El proyecto de ley 1972 de la Asamblea, presentado por el asambleísta Juan Alanis, republicano de Modesto, ordena a la Patrulla de Carreteras de California que trabaje con la policía ferroviaria y se enfoque en el robo de carga.
• El proyecto de ley 1242 del Senado, presentado por el senador Dave Min, demócrata de Irvine, permite sentencias penales más altas para las personas condenadas por iniciar un incendio mientras cometen un robo en comercios.
• El proyecto de ley 1416 del Senador Josh Newman, demócrata de Fullerton, crea aumentos progresivos de las sentencias por vender o intentar intercambiar bienes robados.
• El Proyecto de Ley 982 del Senado de la Senadora Aisha Wahab, demócrata de Fremont, deroga la prohibición del delito de robo organizado en comercios minoristas.

GAVIN NEWSOM SIGNS NEW RETAIL THEFT LAWS AS VOTERS WEIGH EVEN TOUGHER PENALTIES
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed bills that aim to make it easier to prosecute retail theft. He’s asking voters to reject a ballot measure that would impose even tougher penalties.
Nigel Duara CalMatters
Gov. Gavin Newsom, still stinging from a public defeat last month, signed a package of bills on August 16 that he and lawmakers pledged will combat rising retail theft.
The 10 bills are intended to make it easier to prosecute people suspected of retail and vehicle theft without undoing changes voters approved a decade ago that reduced prison sentences for nonviolent crimes.
Voters in November will see a separate ballot measure, Proposition 36, that would go further by increasing sentences for property crimes and offenses related to fentanyl. Newsom and other Democrats oppose the ballot measure, which they say would restore policies that they contend failed to improve public safety even as they packed prisons with nonviolent offenders.
The bills Newsom signed would make repeated theft convictions a felony, collect crimes across multiple counties into one court so they can be charged as a felony and allow police to arrest someone on suspicion of retail theft even if the officer does not witness the crime.
Shoplifting and retail theft are “the issue that is front and center of the consciousness of so many Californians,” Newsom said at the signing at a Home Depot in San Jose on August 16 where he was joined by Democratic lawmakers and Attorney General Rob Bonta. “We didn’t just wake up to this issue.”
“This is the real deal. Grocers and retailers understand that,” Newsom said.
Newsom’s signature comes 45 days after the collapse of a crime bill that he had hoped would fend off Republicans and some conservative Democrats who demanded major changes to a decade-long project aimed at reducing California’s prison population. The bill would have placed an additional measure on the November ballot to compete with Prop. 36.
A contingent of Democrats opposed or withheld votes for the bill because they said it would disproportionately affect communities of color while reinstituting some of the criminal justice policies that once pushed California prisons to

house more than double their capacity.
Republican Assembly leader James Gallagher of Chico said Newsom was resistant to harsher penalties for theft until public opinion and crime statistics forced his hand.
“Gavin Newsom has done nothing about retail theft for five years,” Gallagher said. “He’s taken no leadership on the issue until this year when it became politically expedient for him to do so.
“Then the guy has the audacity to stand there like he’s been the champion of (combating) retail theft when he’s not.”
A new poll suggests voters favor tougher penalties for some crimes. A Los Angeles Times poll of more than 3,000 likely voters found strong support for Prop. 36 and significant concerns about retail theft. About 56% of respondents said they would vote yes.
The poll’s director, Mark DiCamillo, attributed the support for a harsher anticrime measure to the “great visibility” of retail crime.
Property crime statistics show property crime rates in 2023 — specifically shoplifting and commercial burglaries — soared after the COVID-19 pandemic higher than at any time since at least 2000, according to an analysis from the Public Policy Institute of California. The authors noted that shoplifting tends to be underreported, so the actual numbers are likely higher.
Democrats say they’re hearing from voters about crime, and some of them are breaking with Newsom to support Prop. 36.
“While these bills are an important first step to address the crisis of retail theft, they are just that — a first step,” San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, a Democrat who supports Prop. 36, said in a written statement. “Fully addressing the rise in retail theft requires acknowledging one of the key underlying causes of those thefts – drug and alcohol addiction. Like the governor, I never want to go back to the era of mass incarceration. But the time to begin the era of mass treatment is now.”
California voters could roll back Prop. 47

crowded prisons in part by changing some felony crimes to misdemeanors. Among those changes was raising the threshold for felony shoplifting to $950.
Prop. 47 made some simple drug possession charges into misdemeanors, and allowed people who were convicted of felonies on those charges before 2014 to have them reclassified to misdemeanors.
That shakeup of the criminal justice system has had measurable impacts: A February report from the Board of State and Community Corrections found that the state saved $93 million between 2019 and 2023 by diverting more than 21,000 people from jail or prison and providing them substance abuse and mental health treatment instead.
According to the study, those 21,000 people had a recidivism rate of 15.3%, far lower than the statewide rate of about 40%.
In the decade since, Prop. 47 has become a conservative target, blamed by some sheriffs and prosecutors for viral videos of shoplifters converging on department stores and increases in some property crimes.
This year, they proposed a rollback — Prop. 36 — which would allow district attorneys to charge people with a felony on a third offense for drug possession, or for thefts of less than $950. It would also allow for harsher penalties for people who traffic fentanyl that leads to someone’s death.
Newsom said the proposition to roll back Prop. 47 will cost the state billions of dollars, mainly by pushing up spending on prisons and the criminal justice system.
“These things are direct cause-and-effect,” Newsom said. “We went through this in the ’80s, we went through this in the ’90s with mass incarceration. Crime was higher, not lower. I don’t want to go back.”
The bill would create a “treatmentmandated felony” that would permit people convicted of multiple drug possession crimes the option of participating in drug and mental health treatment instead of being incarcerated.
It could also end up costing the prison system hundreds of millions of dollars a year to house more people.
New retail theft laws
Newsom signed the following bills into law:
• Senate Bill 905 by Sen. Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat, eliminates the “locked door loophole,” which required prosecutors to prove that someone broke into a locked vehicle to convict a suspect of auto burglary.
• Assembly Bill 1779 by Assemblmember Jacqui Irwin, a Thousand Oaks Democrat, lets prosecutors collect crimes across multiple counties into one court so they can be charged as a felony.
• Senate Bill 1144 by Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Berkeley Democrat, makes it easier to prosecute organized retail theft rings that sell stolen goods on online platforms.
• Assembly Bill 2943 by Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur, a Los Angeles Democrat, makes it easier for police to arrest people on suspicion of retail theft when officers do not witness a crime. It allows prosecutors to collect thefts by one suspect to reach the $950 threshold for felony theft charges.
• Assembly Bill 1802 by Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer, a Los Ange-
les Democrat, would make permanent the crime of organized retail theft and make permanent regional property crime task forces that were expected to expire.
• Assembly Bill 3209 by Assemblymember Marc Berman, a Palo Alto Democrat, lets stores obtain restraining orders against people who harass employees, steal from or vandalize their businesses.
• Assembly Bill 1972 by Assembly Member Juan Alanis, a Modesto Republican, directs the California Highway Patrol to work with railroad police and to target cargo theft.
• Senate Bill 1242 by Sen. Dave Min, an Irvine Democrat, allows higher criminal sentences for people convicted of starting a fire while committing retail theft.
• Senate Bill 1416 by Sen. Josh Newman, a Fullerton Democrat, creates escalating sentencing enhancements for selling or attempting to exchange stolen goods.
• Senate Bill 982 by Sen. Aisha Wahab, a Fremont Democrat, repeals the sunset on the crime of organized retail theft.
CA DELEGATION RIDES
WAVE OF EXCITEMENT AT DNC
Suzanne Potter California News Service
The Democratic National Convention in Chicago kicked off on Monday August 19 with huge crowds and the biggest delegation, some 500 strong, hails from California.
The group is especially enthusiastic about nominee Kamala Harris, since she served the people of the Golden State for decades as district attorney in San Francisco, state Attorney General and then U.S. Senator before becoming vice president.
Rusty Hicks, chair of the California delegation, talked about the historic nature of the convention.
"It's an opportunity for Democrats across the country to come together to get ready to help elect the first Black-South Asian woman President of the United States," Hicks pointed out. "Especially being from California, it's a special night in so many ways."
Hicks noted California has been a leader on many issues that are being highlighted at the convention, including reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ rights, climate change, the fight against poverty and the role new immigrants play in keeping the economy strong.
Even though California is traditionally a blue state, all but certain to send its electoral votes to Harris in November, Hicks stressed the real battle is to take back control of Congress.
"In order to retake the House of Rep-
resentatives, we've got to win seats in California and those seats will be won by a handful of votes," Hicks predicted. "The work that we've been doing on the ground has been focused on winning close, tough elections."
Early voting in California is about six weeks away. The first ballots will be mailed on Oct. 7.

Aunque California es tradicionalmente un estado azul, y es casi seguro que enviará sus votos electorales a Harris en noviembre, Hicks enfatizó que la verdadera batalla es recuperar el control del Congreso.

EARTHTALK Q&A: WHY ENVIRONMENTALISTS FEAR TRUMP V2
Dear EarthTalk: Why are environmental advocates so scared of Trump getting elected to a second term as President? - B.N., Philadelphia, PA
SinceJoe Biden was elected president in 2021, his administration has made effective, albeit halting progress on combating climate change and giving the nation’s renewable energy industry the financial boost it needs to permanently establish its presence in America. He re-entered the Paris Climate Agreement, passed the most expensive climate legislation in U.S. history via the Inflation Reduction Act, and took hundreds of other positive environmental actions throughout his term as president.
Biden’s eco- efforts are far from perfect—the U.S. produced record levels of oil during his presidency, due to compromises he had to make to get his legislation passed— he has still achieved net positive gains for our environment.
Based on what Trump has said about his plans for climate, and his troubling history of undoing environmental progress, the fear is that a second Trump presidency would reverse the progress made by Biden and demolish chances of reversing the worst effects of climate change before it’s too late.
Earlier in 2024, the right-wing Heritage Foundation released Project 2025, which is a plan that outlines what Donald Trump’s team may aim to achieve during a second Trump term. In addition to abolishing the education department and limiting judicial power, Project 2025 aims to “reclaim” America’s dominance in the oil and gas industries, limit the power of environmental agencies and possibly repeal Biden’s most powerful climate legislation.
These goals are certainly in line with Trump’s environmental rhetoric. At the beginning of his 2016 presidency, Trump rolled back dozens of environmental regulations on climate and conservation and pushed for increased oil and gas production. Trump has continued to deny the impacts of climate change and plans to loosen regulations placed on the gas and oil industry once again.
It's unlikely Trump would fully succeed in repealing all the climate legislation passed by Biden, but his push for increased carbon emissions would come at a dire moment in the ongoing crisis. The U.S. has a major role to play in achieving the Paris climate accord’s goal of keeping global temperatures from rising by 1.5 degrees Celsius before 2030. If emissions are not properly reduced, global temperatures and sea levels will continue to rise, leaving large areas of land uninhabitable and wiping out countless wildlife species and habitats.
The actions taken in the next four years will have a monumental impact on the health of our planet, but a Carbon Brief report estimates that a second Trump presidency would add four billion tons of climatewarming gases to our atmosphere by 2030. A second Trump term would certainly take us radically in the wrong direction.

EARTHTALK Q&A: POR QUÉ LOS AMBIENTALISTAS TEMEN A TRUMP V2
Desdeque Joe Biden fue elegido presidente en 2021, su administración ha hecho progresos efectivos, aunque titubeantes, en la lucha contra el cambio climático y en dar a la industria nacional de las energías renovables el impulso financiero que necesita para establecer permanentemente su presencia en Estados Unidos. Se reincorporó al Acuerdo Climático de París, aprobó la legislación climática más cara de la historia de Estados Unidos a través de la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación y adoptó cientos de otras medidas medioambientales positivas a lo largo de su mandato como presidente.
Los esfuerzos ecológicos de Biden distan mucho de ser perfectos -Estados Unidos produjo niveles récord de petróleo durante su presidencia, debido a los compromisos que tuvo que asumir para conseguir que se aprobara su legislación-, pero aun así ha conseguido ganancias netas positivas para nuestro
medio ambiente. Basándonos en lo que Trump ha dicho sobre sus planes para el clima, y en su preocupante historial de deshacer avances medioambientales, el temor es que una segunda presidencia de Trump revierta los avances logrados por Biden y eche por tierra las posibilidades de revertir los peores efectos del cambio climático antes de que sea demasiado tarde.
A principios de 2024, la derechista Heritage Foundation publicó el Proyecto 2025, un plan que esboza lo que el equipo de Donald Trump podría pretender conseguir durante un segundo mandato de Trump. Además de abolir el departamento de educación y limitar el poder judicial, el Proyecto 2025 pretende «recuperar» el dominio de Estados Unidos en las industrias del petróleo y el gas, limitar el poder de las agencias medioambientales y posiblemente derogar la legislación climática más poderosa de Biden. Estos objetivos coinciden sin duda con la retórica medioambiental de Trump. Al comienzo de su presidencia en 2016, Trump revocó docenas de normativas medioambien-
tales sobre el clima y la conservación e impulsó el aumento de la producción de petróleo y gas. Trump ha seguido negando los impactos del cambio climático y planea relajar una vez más las regulaciones impuestas a la industria del gas y el petróleo. Es poco probable que Trump consiga derogar toda la legislación climática aprobada por Biden, pero su impulso al aumento de las emisiones de carbono llegaría en un momento nefasto de la crisis actual. Estados Unidos tiene un importante papel que desempeñar en la consecución del objetivo del acuerdo climático de París de evitar que la temperatura global aumente 1,5 grados centígrados antes de 2030. Si no se reducen adecuadamente las emisiones, las temperaturas globales y el nivel del mar seguirán subiendo, dejando grandes extensiones de tierra inhabitables y acabando con innumerables especies silvestres y hábitats. Las medidas que se tomen en los próximos cuatro años tendrán un impacto monumental en la salud de nuestro planeta, pero un informe de Carbon Brief estima que una segunda presidencia de Trump añadiría cuatro mil millones de toneladas de gases que calientan el clima a nuestra atmósfera para 2030. Sin duda, un segundo mandato de Trump nos llevaría radicalmente en la dirección equivocada.

NEW RULES COMING SOON TO HELP PEOPLE CLEAR OLD CRIMINAL RECORDS
Suzanne Potter California News Service
Starting October 1st, it will get a lot easier for people with old felony convictions to get them expunged from their record - as Senate Bill 731, passed two years ago, is fully implemented. Before, only records from 2005 or later could be cleared, but now the law covers records from as far back as 1973.
Saun Hough, vocational services administrator with the nonprofit Shields for Families in South L.A., said this is significant.
"It's estimated that an additional 4.5 million people will have felony records that are now eligible for expungement," Hough explained.
Advocates of criminal justice reform spoke out in Sacramento on Wednesday to raise awareness as part of the Time Done Day of Advocacy. The law also allows petitions for expungement to be filed at your local courthouse, and the state Department of Justice will start conducting automated petitions. A website called expungemyrecord.org just launched this week to help people navigate the process.
Hough said clearing the criminal record of old convictions can vastly improve a person's chances of getting a job, renting an apartment, obtaining a professional license, and much more.
"It allows for the opportunity to coach your children's team literally, it allows for the opportunity to be members of
your HOA board. it just really allows for full participation back into society and into your community," Hough continued.
People can petition to have many types of non-sexual felony convictions expunged two years after completing any parole or probation as long as they have no new offenses.
Apartirdel 1 de octubre, será mucho más fácil para las personas con antiguas condenas por delitos graves eliminarlas de sus antecedentes, ya que el Proyecto de Ley del Senado 731, aprobado hace dos años, está completamente implementado. Antes, solo se podían

borrar los registros de 2005 o posteriores, pero ahora la ley cubre registros desde 1973. Saun Hough trabaja con la organización sin fines de lucro Shields for Families en el sur de Los Angeles.
"Se estima que 4.5 millones de personas adicionales tendrán antecedentes penales que ahora son elegibles para su eliminación," expreso Hough.
Los defensores de la reforma de la justicia penal hablaron en Sacramento el miércoles para crear conciencia como parte del Time Done Day of Advocacy. La ley también permite que se presenten peticiones de eliminación de antecedentes penales en el tribunal local, y el Departamento de Justicia del estado comenzara a realizar peticiones automatizadas. Esta semana se lanzó un sitio web llamado expungemyrecord.org para ayudar a las personas a navegar el proceso.
Hough dice que limpiar su historial de viejas condenas puede mejorar enormemente las posibilidades de una persona de conseguir trabajo, alquilar un apartamento, obtener una licencia profesional y mucho más.
"Brinda la oportunidad de entrenar literalmente al equipo de sus hijos, ser miembros de la junta directiva de su asociación de vecinos. Realmente permite una participación total en la sociedad y en su comunidad," argumento también el entrevistado.
Las personas pueden solicitar que se eliminen muchos tipos de condenas por delitos graves no sexuales dos años después de completar cualquier libertad condicional, siempre que no tengan nuevos delitos.

Frondosos, apetitosamente saludables, oasis de la eterna juventud, así podemos definir a los vegetales, muchos de los cuales proceden en forma preventiva ante enfermedades tan terribles como la osteoporosis y el cáncer. Los vegetales son poseedores de innumerables secretos naturales, que han sido descubiertos por la ciencia a través del tiempo y las investigaciones de eruditos naturistas. Sin embargo, desde hace miles de años atrás, se han venido empleando con fines tanto medicinales, como contemplativos y estéticos. Las legendarias Cleopatra y Nefertiti, han sido acreditadas por herencia histórica, como las grandes precursoras de los más añejas ceremonias de belleza y seducción. En las que se utilizaron como materia prima la riqueza natural vegetal, entre otros elementos orgánicos.
En la América prehispánica, el jitomate fue consagrado en ofrenda a Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan y Chasca, deidades equivalentes de Venus, en las tres civilizaciones más sobresalientes.
Los vegetales juegan un papel de primer orden en la dieta diaria, por su alto contenido de vitaminas, nutrientes y minerales esenciales, para el mantenimiento de un peso adecuado y la buena salud en general. Los vegetales, legumbres o verduras como solemos llamarlos, son la fontana de la vitalidad, tanto física como también espiritualmente.
Cebolla
Allium cepa
Según narran los historiadores, las grandes pirámides de Giza: Keops, Kefrén y Micerinos, fueron construidas por hombres que eran alimentados básicamente con granos, ajos y cebollas. Se cree que la cebolla es originaria del norte de África, sin embargo los colonizadores franceses e ingleses durante el siglo XVI, encontraron sembradíos dispersos de una variedad de cebollas silvestres, en el territorio que ahora comprenden los estados del sur de Canadá, y el norte de Estados Unidos.
VEGETALES REJUVENECEDORES
Al consumir cebolla con frecuencia, se previenen afecciones menores como gripes, resfriados, influenza y alergias de estación. Es benéfica para mantener el funcionamiento saludable del corazón, previene la inflamación de las mucosas, asiste en la curación de trastornos respiratorios, y elimina la flema. Muchos le consideran como un potente afrodisíaco capaz de curar la impotencia.
Propiedades medicinales: contiene vitaminas A, B y C, además azufre, hierro, calcio y potasio.
Propiedades místicas: En la antigüedad, la cebolla era consumida diariamente en cantidades moderadas, por aquellas mujeres que no lograban salir en cinta, también los hombres que pasaban su quinta
década de vida, la usaban para mantener la virilidad.
Lechuga
Lactuca sativa
En tiempos de la antigua Babilonia, la lechuga era ofrendada a Marduk el rey de los dioses, con el propósito de alcanzar de él favores divinos, se creía que Marduk dormía en un lecho gigante, fabricado exclusivamente con lechugas frescas. En Egipto podía ser degustada únicamente por el faraón y su corte. Actualmente este vegetal, es uno de los colaboradores más cercanos del rejuvenecimiento.
La lechuga es uno de los vegetales más solicitados en ensaladas, y platillos vegetarianos. Gracias a su
alto contenido de vitaminas, es saludable para el mantenimiento de la buena salud de la piel y juventud del rostro, mantiene bajos los niveles del colesterol, ayuda a eliminar las toxinas, y la grasa excesiva del organismo. Se le considera como un exquisito aperitivo.
Propiedades medicinales: rica en vitaminas A, B y C, hierro, sodio, potasio y calcio.
Propiedades místicas: El enjuague tibio con una infusión fresca de hojas de lechuga, es recomendado para eliminar el estrés, y la ansiedad provocada por altibajos financieros; además funciona como un ritual de suerte, para los que andan en busca de una mejor oportunidad laboral.
Pepino
Cucumis sativus
Durante la celebración de rituales africanos ancestrales, los participantes que llegaban a la edad adulta, eran cubiertos de pies a cabeza con las cáscaras de pepino, con la finalidad de augurarles una vida próspera llena de abundancia material y espiritual. Hoy en día el pepino, se cuenta en la lista de aliados de la industria dedicada a la belleza y la salud
Es uno de los vegetales más recetados para bajar de peso, tiene propiedades emolientes que ayudan a conservar una piel fresca y lozana. Limpia la sangre y ayuda a desintoxicar el sistema digestivo. Se le considera uno de los promotores, para el buen funcionamiento del hígado y los riñones. Es reconocido como un cosmético natural que estimula el rejuvenecimiento del cutis.

LIBRARIES PUSH BACK ON PROJECT 2025
Mark Moran Public News Service
Thelatest report from the EveryLibrary Institute showed the Republican Party's agenda, as outlined in the document known as Project 2025, takes aim at places where students can read, discover and explore. Conservatives call it a matter of accountability.
Peter Bromberg, associate director of the institute, said Project 2025, a massive effort to reclassify civil service workers as political appointees, would take direct aim at libraries and the people who work there.
"You know, librarians and teachers are highly trusted and well-known and well-loved in their communities," Bromberg pointed out. "It's really kind of a shocking and extreme attempt to twist our democratic society and our institutions into more of a totalitarian theocracy."
Backers of Project 2025 argued librarians need to be held accountable for what is on their shelves. A bill in Alabama which would have criminalized librarians for allowing content defined as "obscene" narrowly missed becoming law this year. A similar measure has already been filed for next session.
Bromberg pointed out Project 2025 promotes book bans, restricts LGBTQ+ content and undermines the intellectual freedom and
inclusivity libraries are known for. He believes it would ultimately threaten a student's educational quality and could presage the end of libraries serving as open and inclusive spaces for people who want to learn. He cited book bans as an example.
"That's the bad news," Bromberg explained. "The good news is, Americans are increasingly becoming aware of what's happening and organizing. And it doesn't often take very much in terms of organizing and pushback -- on whether it's school boards or county councils -- to get the books back on the shelves."
Project 2025, a Heritage Fund initiative, goes well beyond libraries. It would reshape the federal government and consolidate executive power under the president.

LAS BIBLIOTECAS RECHAZAN EL PROYECTO 2025
Mark Moran Public News Service
Elúltimo informe del EveryLibrary Institute mostró que la agenda del Partido Republicano, tal como se describe en el documento conocido como Proyecto 2025, apunta a lugares donde los estudiantes puedan leer, descubrir y explorar. Los conservadores lo llaman una cuestión de responsabilidad.
Peter Bromberg, director asociado del instituto, dijo que el Proyecto 2025, un esfuerzo masivo para reclasificar a los trabajadores de la función pública como designados políticos, apuntaría directamente a las bibliotecas y a las personas que trabajan ahí.
"Ya sabes, los bibliotecarios y maestros son muy confiables, conocidos y queridos en sus comunidades", señaló Bromberg. "Es realmente un in-
tento impactante y extremo de convertir nuestra sociedad democrática y nuestras instituciones en una teocracia más totalitaria".
Los partidarios del Proyecto 2025 argumentaron que los bibliotecarios deben rendir cuentas por lo que hay en sus estanterías. Un proyecto de ley en Alabama que habría criminalizado a los bibliotecarios por permitir contenido definido como "obsceno" estuvo a punto de convertirse en ley este año. Una medida similar ya fue presentada para la próxima sesión.
Bromberg señaló que el Proyecto 2025 promueve la prohibición de libros, restringe el contenido LGBTQ+ y socava la libertad intelectual y la inclusión por las que son conocidas las bibliotecas. Él cree que, en última instancia, amenazaría la calidad educativa de los estudiantes y podría presagiar el fin de las bibliotecas que sirven como espacios abiertos e inclusivos para las personas que quieren aprender. Citó como ejemplo la prohibición de libros.
"Ésas son las malas noticias", explicó Bromberg. "La buena noticia es que los estadounidenses son cada vez más conscientes de lo que está sucediendo y se organizan. Y muchas veces no hace falta mucho en términos de organización y oposición- (ya sean juntas escolares o consejos de condado - para que los libros vuelvan a estar en los estanterías".
El Proyecto 2025, una iniciativa del Fondo del Patrimonio, va mucho más allá de las bibliotecas. Reformaría el gobierno federal y consolidaría el poder ejecutivo bajo el presidente.
