It’s time to get police out of schools
October 22, 2021 — by Benjamin Li
With the job description of “handling situations involving fights, theft, criminal bullying, truancy, trespassers, psychiatric detentions, identification of gang members and school policy violations,” it is more apt to call a school resource officer (SRO) a rule enforcer. In theory, SROs are supposed to benefit a school by making it a safer environment, but their […]

Exposé: Security questions are a Eurocentric ploy
October 17, 2021 — by Selina Chen
Ninety-nine percent of online accounts I set up require me to choose and answer security questions in case I forget my password or get logged out of my account.  Usually, I immediately look for the question “In what city were you born?” because that’s easy to answer: Shanghai. My dilemma arises when the system requires […]

Hot take: Let’s take the hype away from the football team
October 14, 2021 — by Harshini Velchamy
The lopsided scores say it all: 48-14, 44-0, 49-0, 31-14 and 14-0; our football team isn’t doing fantastic this year.  Our football team has lost all of its games this year, besides a 31-14 victory against Monta Vista for Homecoming.

The problem with American candy
October 12, 2021 — by Sara Bright
When I moved to the United States from Finland at age 12, I was scared and excited to start a new life in a completely different country. Never in my life did I realize that the move would subject me to the worst “candy” I’ve ever eaten in my life.  I have many problems with […]

In 2019, 650,000 people moved out of California.

Fix the bathroom air dryers
October 8, 2021 — by Allen Luo
Picture this: You’re in the bathroom, and your freshly washed hands are dripping wet. You put your hands under the air dryer, expecting a warm, refreshing blast of air to dry off all the water drops sticking to your hand.  One second passes. Now, two. Three.  You start wondering, “Why isn’t this working?” You frantically […]
