have the skills and inencouragements not only to climb up for themselves but heal the whole system. >> the first step they say is convincing the students they not only have a voice, but one that matters. not something many of them are used to hearing. >> seeing them take on their power and realize oh, my gosh i'm brilliant. now i can change something. >> it's something shawntrice says she's seen so many times. most recently, with east palo alto sophomore bianca. >> it gives me the motivation and voice for my people and myself. >> she walked away with multiple awards from the most recent debate championships. and a new found confidence. that words can make a difference. especially hers.

trouble with the law and her employer. the california corrections department said yesterday this woman, denise slater has been placed on leave. an internal investigation also is underway. she's accused of yelling at a group of muslim men praying at a park and she even threw coffee at one of them. she's charged with misdemeanor battery and civil rights violations. it's been a tumultuous 24 hours in the democratic candidates race. bernie sanders and his campaign are barely regaining access to their complied voter information this morning. they filed a lawsuit against the democratic national convention last night after they were cut off. this all started when a campaign aide of sanders was accused of snooping into hillary clinton's campaign voter information. the campaign fired that staffer who said he was trying to alert others he could access clinton's data. >> i did not download any voter

looking at more than 150,000 shopper receipts a consumer market research company said consumers are buying more this holiday season and it's costing them less. >> in order to make up the difference retailers are having to sell more units at a lower price. you saw walmart do this with wrangler jeans, many retailers are offering promotions where they're making up for the lower prices on volume by selling more product. >> as the clock ticks towards christmas, retailers will settle for just winning the sale. almost regardless of what it costs. courtny reagan, cnbc. today is also a big day for mailing out your gifts. the u.s. postal service says if you want presents to arrive in time for christmas, mail them out today. that's for priority mail at least. if you're using express mail, sending it overnight or using other carriers, you still have a few days. remember, christmas is the busiest time for every shipping service and shipments likely will get backed up.

crowd watched the warriors take on the team that gave golden state their first loss of the season and revenge. that was the word several warrior players used leading up to last night's game. milwaukee beat the doves last saturday to end their undefeated run at 28 games. many expected the warriors to win big. the bucs didn't get that memo. it was more of the same from last weekend. milwaukee had a handle on the doves again. they led by double digits in the fourth quarter. the doves closed the game with a 32-12 run. they iced the win with a big three from the corner. tempers flared a bit. but no major incidents. the coach was disappointed with their efforts. >> we were very public about the facts we wanted to get revenge. but then we didn't come out and play with that, you know, that edge and that mentality. >> we have much more ahead on
