this morning. we don't have much to report. that's good news that makes life easier for you getting out on the door and let's take you to the golden gate bridge and been reporting of a single spinout earlier and that's really all we have of major concern, even across parts of the peninsula and the south bay not really looking at our highways being affected all that much. there is an accident before 101 and we're seeing the typical slowing on 101, as well. slowing through the sunol grade but otherwise wide-open roads on this friday and no fooling you here. >> thank you, anthony. well, not everybody is accepting acceptance week. curriculum focusing on lesbian, gay and transgender issues at a san ramon school has some parents threatening to take their kids out of class. live in san ramon and, steph, there are the parent who say they're mad and voice their concerns to districters in just a few hours they say they think their kids are too young in middle school to talk about these issues. >> yeah, that's definitely part of it, kris.

good morning to you. that meeting between the district superintendent and these upset parents set at 11:00 this morning at district offices. but they say if they're not happy with the solution that is presented, they're ready to not only take their kids out of class, but ready to go to court really as a last resort. make sure their voices are heard. now, more than 500 signatures on a change.org petition addressed to this middle school prince and the superintendent. the parents involved want acceptance week to day. a day dedicated by some students to spreading awareness of safety and respect specifically for those who identify as lgbtq. some parents are protesting especially after viewing some of the lesson plans and videos. one parent writing on the petition, my daughter who attends wrms isn't even comfortable watching her parents kiss, so she's definitely not going to be comfortable with

this video. meantime, the san ramon valley district says it was a student leadership group that came up with this awareness week and the lesson plans and what's going to be talked about. the principal here also revised the lessons and sent the new ones to the parents for review after he got a lot of e-mails and calls about this adding parents can opt their students out if they want. again, parentsing that they will walk out if the school and district don't satisfy what they want. and this is hopefully going to be all resolved at this meeting set again at 11:00 this morning in district offices. live here in san ramon, stephanie chuang "today in the bay." 6:03 right now on your and it is happening, again. we are learning more about a new racist ahomphobic text scandal. police investigators discovering a series of text messages while investigating officer jason lie for an alleged sexual assault. this discovery coming in the

midst of a text scandal and that one involves 14 san francisco police officers. this new case focuses on four officers. an attorney representing one of the officers involved says its client is not racist but should have done more to stop offensive communication from an officer who used the n word. >> who responded to one of the techs by saying, stop. if you stop doing this and he said if i didn't know who you were married to, i would think you were a racist. but that is not the same thing as going through an official protocol of discipline. >> the department right now is reviewing hundreds of court cases that involve those police officers to see if they might have been compromised. 6:04 now. a man accused of killing his girlfriend on valentine's day is set to enter a plea this morning. police arrested him after they discovered the body of stacey aguilar. you might remember she was from san jose, but disappeared after attending a house party in hayward in february. police say his accomplice is

also scheduled to be in court. well, a man suspected in a bizarre case of indecent exposure behind bars this morning. police say a 22-year-old man tried to open the front door of a closed business in san bruno yesterday evening. the woman inside said as she approached the door she noticed his pants were down and he was exposing himself. police found and arrested that man a short time later. right now facing several charges. in fremont searching for two men who used a sling shot to break into a local restaurant early yesterday morning. this happened at a restaurant on mission boulevard between interstates 880 and 680. the men were captured on surveillance video using that sling shot to steal a window and steal cash from a safe before taking off. millbrae police say the driver in a hit and run crash that sent a to the hospital with serious head injuries turned himself in. now behind bars this morning facing felony charges for that tuesday night crash. he struck a 65-year-old man on

el camino real between san bruno avenues and another location. the victim was stepping off the center median when chan hit him. he is hospitalized still in stable condition. so, marin county right now cracking down on speeders, but we're not talking about drivers. they're cracking down on cyclists. radar devices are going up to track violators. serious accidents between hikers, walkers and cyclists in the county's open district lands. 34 different locations that includes 250 miles of roads and trails. the speed limit is 15 miles per hour, five if you're coming up on a blind corner. the town in mua asking for money to repair damage caused by a sinkhole. turns out the problem is worse than anybody thought. that hole opened up during storms had in march rupturing a gas line there. and investigators say they finally got an up close look at the problem last week. they now estimate it will cost

for 666 bucks. scott mcgrew is mystified this morning. how in the world, he asks, is tesla going to make all those model 3s. >> scott mcgrew put this into perspective for us. 135,000 people plunked down 1,000 bucks for their deposit. are they all going to get their cars? >> they'll get their car es ventually, right? we have a math problem as kris point out. tesla took in 135,000 orders for its new model 3 seen last night here in southern california. so, there is 135,000 orders but last year tesla oonly made 50,000 model s cars total according to its financial reports. it has orders for twice as many cars as it appears capable of making. and it still has to make the model s. well, also now making the model 3. so, tesla making 50,000 cars a year. to put that into perspective, sam.
