Right now, the Oakland Unified School district is taking comments on a new Sexual Harassment policy shaped by students. The policy would penalize students for leering and for unwanted flirtations. And prevents students from getting in trouble for making a false report. It would also require schools to have a designated staff member to handle Sexual Assault and harassment reports instead of one person at the district office. The changes stem from a report about the experiences of girls of color in Oakland Schools. A survey from the Nonprofit Alliance for girls found that many students were skipping school to avoid being sexually harassed. This cannot continue to be a sideline issue because when we ask girls of color, they told us it was central. So if its central to them, it has to be central to the school district. The policy has strong support from the Oakland School board and the mayor. Shocking new details about this Bank Robbery Suspect with the paintedon beard. First we learned the suspect is a woman.
