Local teachers address Capitol riot with students Written by Zoe Morgan
As pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol last week, eighth-grade history teacher Katie Mather started getting emails from students, checking to see if she was watching the news.
They wanted to make sure she knew that “the Capitol was being overtaken by an angry mob,” said Mather, who teaches at Blach Intermediate School. Mather set aside class time to talk through the day’s events. A history teacher who discusses current events with her classes regularly, Mather said she takes her cues from students.
“They were very eager to talk about this yesterday and sort of ‘unwrap’ what had happened,” Mather said in a Friday interview.

Kiyoshi Taylor speaks at a protest in Mountain View last year that drew a large crowd. The 2015 Los Altos High School grad is the son of a Stanford University philosophy professor who he said taught him to “question everything.”
Modeled after Time Magazine’s annual honor, the Town Crier’s Los Altans of the Year, now in its 26th year, recognizes local residents who have spread goodwill through their good deeds, enhancing Los Altos’ reputation as a community.
Typically, the honors have gone to older recipients with a long, demonstrated record of volunteerism and impact. But 2020 was no typical year. It has forced us to see and do things differently.
