they decided to make that arrest . >> and i believe he may have been aware that he was now under investigation. and when that happens, we feel it's important to get them into custody, you know, whether it be to prevent them from fleeing, whether it be to protect the victim. um, all of those are factors in which it would cause us to accelerate our investigation and take them into custody. >> um, as you might imagine, the pastor's arrest has shaken everyone who goes to that church . dan spoke to the alleged victim, who is now 21 years old and her parents. her father says that he has heard complaints about the pastor from other congregation members and if you have a story for the i-team, you can call this number on your screen or you can go to abc7 news.com slash i-team. a group of teachers in oakland are planning a so called palestine teacher in day for wednesday. the teachers say it's a way to elevate palestine voices and public education amid the ongoing conflict in the middle

that page says intifada standing up for yourself or standing up for what is right, which i think is very age, like an age appropriate way to interact with that with that term. the oakland unified school district has come out against the teaching. in a statement, they tell abc seven news, quote, the district is aware that some educators want to teach their students about the situation in gaza and israel with a very specific view of who is at fault and why. it is the job of educators to teach students how to think critically , not to teach them what to think. we are reminding all educators of their responsibility to adhere to principles of education and to keep their personal beliefs out of the classroom. those in support of the teaching reject that statement. the pushback isn't just coming from ousd. some local jewish organizations also think it's inappropriate that includes tyler gregory, the ceo of the local chapter of the jewish community relations council. >> i think that this curriculum incites violence against jews and israelis and has no place in

any school district. >> gregory says his organization has heard from several jewish families in the district, some of whom plan on keeping their students home from classes. on wednesday. he believes at a time of heightened tensions, the teach in will only further divide the community. >> we're confident that the administration is going to have consequences for those that participate in this. the teachers, because it's totally unacceptable. >> in oakland. tim johns, abc seven news. >> the group behind the teach in makes it clear they are against anti-semitism, but they feel this is important. education this morning, people are remembering sandra day o'connor, the first woman to serve as a justice on the supreme court. she passed away on friday at the age of 93. but you may not have known about her connection to the bay area, including her time at stanford. here's abc's seven news reporter lauren martinez. >> sandra day o'connor is being remembered for her grit and inspiring legacy. o'connor's exceptional ism was evident as

thank you, larry. >> now let's get a check of the bay area forecast with meteorologist lisa argen lisa are we seeing more rain today? we're going to see a few showers here and there and that's all because of the system to the north is really hogging it all. >> we'll get a little bit of energy that wants to slide down from time to time between now and tomorrow morning. keeping that level one system with us. but for now, now, most of the rain has moved on through the sweep on top of mount saint helena. our live sweep shows maybe a sprinkle around napa, petaluma. otherwise you can see the clouds here. look at that. a third of an inch. half moon bay, petaluma and napa, just over a 10th. oakland 0.16. but the hills there, skyline boulevard, tilden park, about a quarter of an inch and a couple of hundreds. through milpitas. we had more rain down around ben lomond. now certainly foggy out there with the golden gate bridge, 53, san francisco and san jose where we have some sun and half moon bay temperature are in the 50s here. santa cruz,

a brief shower but otherwise temperatures are fairly uniform from the low 50s in the north bay mid 50s in the east bay. and there's a hint of some of that sun in the south bay. so with that, temperatures will climb into the low 60s with perhaps more breaks in the cloud cover throughout the south bay. so a few showers here and there becoming isolated. this afternoon, then maybe reinvigorated tonight. but looking at milder conditions come monday and tuesday, could even see a few 70s before the next system moves into the pacific northwest. you can see in the next hour, still a few scattered showers for sonoma out around the east bay. 580 throughout 1230. so if you're shopping, putting lights up, getting the tree, don't be surprised if you get your head wet a little bit. but we're not talking downpour cause we're not talking some heavy rain. we're just talking scattered light shower activity even through about 11:00, we're not going to shake this into early tomorrow,

maybe in the north bay, but overall, through 11:00, it's not much. a couple hundreds, 5/100, but enough to maybe warrant the rain gear overall in the sierra nevada, temperatures are cold, but only picking up maybe two inches. we have to get that jet stream a little bit further south to bring the rain into the bay area. but for the week ahead, this adds up the precip through december ninth. there it all is from extreme northern california into the pacific northwest. the bay area, not too much, at least for the next week. so we'll keep watching maybe into the middle of december. we're looking at different signals that could allow for more rain and snow to visit us. 63 in oakland, 61 in santa rosa today. so mostly cloudy skies, a few scattered showers looking at that level, one system today as it lingers, especially into the later evening and overnight hours. so temperatures will be on the mild to muggy side through tomorrow, a chance of lingering showers

and the milder pattern monday and tuesday. look at that, late fall warmth around 70 around perhaps hayward and fremont and then perhaps another chance of rain come wednesday and friday. we you ping and pong that body. you plunge that body. you green that body. you brain power that body. you practice... and practice that body. you make it rain that body. you flu shot that body. and now, you spikevax that body... because even though the pandemic is over, covid-19 isn't. spikevax by moderna is a vaccine to help protect you against covid-19. you shouldn't get spikevax if you've had an allergic reaction to spikevax or its ingredients. rare cases of inflammation of the heart muscle and outer lining have been reported. the most common side effects are injection site pain, redness and swelling,
