his lawn, you know, there's no connection. here's his reaction. >> i am a citizen of this state and of this -- i'm an american citizen. i have as much at stake in the education of our inner city and our low-income children as anybody other than their direct parents. >> now, you may disagree with his methods. he says, you know, california has this tenure system in which teachers are allowed tenure after less than two years. most states don't do that. you can disagree with his methods. i think he has every right to say, hey, i may not be a latino parent, i may not be in los angeles but it's wrong. >> you're in california, you are a taxpayer. i can't wait for "press here" this weekend. >> this is not a debate that's specific to california. there are other cities that are looking at the exact -- states looking at the same thing. >> true. fans of late pop icon prince are getting their purple ready. the singer's family is opening up his studio for tours and tickets go on sale at noon
