we should bring that skill set engineeringbuild an team and orient those teams towards education, science, justice and opportunity. i have been on the front lines as a practitioner, and i have seen what is possible when you reorient the system and break the rules of the current system. you can achieve incredible outcomes for patients, for students. know, thek, even you money part is incredibly important, because we would not be a bug to do it without the money. where we have unique leverage is applying our skill sets, as living in the philanthropy world, as living donors, applying that in addition to the resources. and everyone can do that. excited that we are building opportunities for engineers, designers, product managers, to come and help design tools for the human cell alice, for our learning platform, for important issues in criminal justice reform. and i just encourage everyone to think deeply. it is not about money. i think everyone in silicon valley has a very unique skill set that has brought tremendous advances in the consumer industry, but what if we oriented that towards important soc

just want to amplify the calls in the room that this is a step towards a larger movement for education justice. for those who are most marginalized to really amplify the other populations, the up or , undocumented and immigrants. part-time workers, full-time lookers -- workers, that is our long-time vision. and the coalition, everyone will not stop until that is met. >> good afternoon. i am here representing the san francisco chapter of our revolution. as you are probably aware, san francisco has the highest rates of income in the country despite being one of the richest cities in the united states. we have a ton of new innovative industries that have come here and brought a ton of wealth and wealthier newcomers as well. the working class is being priced out of the city and is losing its foothold. i think it is essential that we address this income inequality and make sure we have universal access to free higher education, which is why we are advocating for you to vote on this amendment, as well as norman he 's friendly amendment would be something that bernie kratz would love to see. thank yo

education. (grant) now the new rules are under fire for making it more difficult for victims of sexual harassment and assault to seek justice... but as our washington correspondent morgan wright explains why education secretary betsy devos is for the new rules... education secretary betsy devos wants to change the way schools handle sexual assault and harassment. she says it will create a safer learning environment. the department's proposal re-writes the rules for title ix. it narrows the definition of sexual harassment - as "unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex that is so severe, pervasive and objectively offensive - that it effectively denies a person equal access to the school's education program or activity." but opponents worry for victims. this is going to disincentive a lot of survivors from coming forward the center for american progress argues the new rules will undermine the rights of survivors... they will feel that their experience does not meet this new definition. they're also worried that new measures that allow cross examination of victims would deter people from coming forward. it can cause deep emotional

the british system of education, governance, justice, along with -- to a certain extent -- it's valuesd laid for better and worse much of the foundation for modern kenya. it did abolish slavery, for instance. it did build a modern infrastructure. it was also completely and fundamentally exploitative, often violent and, well, racist. kenya existed to make white people from far away rich. but in 1963, kenya won its independence and elected its first president, jomo kenyatta, and since that time has fought an uphill battle to shake the last vestiges of colonial rule while hanging on to what worked. things are by most accounts going well. there is a growing middle class, a highly rated educational system and an enthusiastic and multilingual professional sector. which is to say this is decidedly not a shithole. it's dynamic, it's changing, and it's incredible. kenya -- by kenyans, for kenyans. but hurdles exist. bizarre, almost surreal ones in this case. mitumba, for instance. also known as "the clothing of dead white people." >> njeri: 70% of africans are wearing secondhand clothes. if we

education committee. this is part of a conference hosted by the justice department. it is 40 minutes. rod rosenstein: thank you very much. good afternoon. thank you for joining us on constitution day to discuss a topic central to the rule of law in america. i want to say a special thanks to jesse panuchio, our acting social attorney general and his team for putting together superb agenda inviteing so many superb speakers. more than a decade lapsed between the adoption of the declaration of independence and constitution. a decade during which our citizens devoted significant attention to the question of how best to secure the blessings of liberty. on this 231st anniversary of the constitution, we properly praise the written document for establishing the framework of liberty. the constitution did not write itself nor did it take effect automatically. the drafters engaged in a lengthy debate about first principles and the people carefully considered the terms before accepting them. their decision reflected free thought and it required free speech. as jesse described it this morning, free

education in america. friends, i am thrilled to share that justice gorsuch along with other justices are participating in aof educational videos about the constitution that the national constitution center is creating now. these videos will appear on the constitution center's andractive constitution, amazing online learning platform that has received more than 20 million hits since it launched in 2015. i want you to download this app now and look at it on the web.

and social security, to bring down the costs of prescription drugs, to fight for good education, and criminal justice reform, all those things. we can and must walk and chew gum. >> i think it's clear. i mean, we're gathering in washington this week on this. there are many issues people want to see the democrats move forward, but it is a little unsettling to act as though, therefore, we should deal with investigating with our obvious questions about what's going on in terms of the attorney general and other matters. i mean, it begs the question that if the president was attacking his own attorney general because he recused himself on this investigation, and you look at the guy coming in, particularly since this person has not been brought before senate committee hearing for confirmation. >> absolutely. i think the american people, they want to make sure their members of congress here voted -- were going to fighting for protection for people with preexisting conditions, all those conditions we discussed. but i also think the american people want guard rails in washington. there are no guard rails. the

justice reforms that they championed. my book quotes many other minority group leaders, activists, and educators to the same effect. let me now share just two of my favorite such quotes. one comes from van jones, the progressive african-american activist and commentator addressing campus social justice warriors. he said "i don't want you to be safe ideologically. i don't want you to be safe emotionally. i want you to be strong. i want to you be deeply aggrieved and offend and upset and then learn how to speak back. because that is what we need from you." second, i would like to share the bracing words of ruth simmons, who is brown university's president from 2001 to 2012. the first african-american president of any ivy league university and brown's first female president. she's now the president of a historically black university in texas. in her very first convocation address at brown, she said you , "you know something that i hate? when people say, that doesn't make me feel good about myself. i say, that's not what you are here for. i believe that learning at its best is the antithesis of comfort. campus for to th

real threat president trout has two progress in nearly every area of american life from education to the justice system and fair elections that include protections for voting rights and in terms of housing , and what the hell do you have to lose he asks his audience to forget about doctor king. he wants everyone to forget about white people, black peopl people, and then, women and people of all religion religions, catholics and jews who risk their lives in this country for racial progress in the civil rights movement. that part of american history seems lost on our president and here i'm speaking to people who are very much aware of this i appreciate you coming tonight a kid in harlem bob moses goes down in the early sixties does he know that some that dedicated their life not to making money but to go into mississippi into the racist white power structure? he helped to register black people to vote at a time the political establishment was putting up every possible barrier to silence the political voice asking how many bubbles are in a bar of soap or how many jellybeans are in the jar? in order

educational context in san francisco to support the most effective approach to this issue we know that sexual assault and cap -- on campus is an issue that is not just a public health concern but criminal justice concern. in the context of sexual assaults on campus, it has the added layer of adding educational rights and civil rights issues and having other processes and procedures, administrative procedures and procedures under federal law as well as under state law on campus. that makes it even more complex. we need to take a legal and public health approach in our sectional as well as an intersectional approach that takes into consideration other characteristics. we know for people who are lgbtq , issues related to race, class, gender identity, a little -- other characteristics. intersecting those experiences with experience or the potential for sexual assault or violence. it is significant. in san francisco, given the diversity and commitment to civil rights and progressive approaches to handling social issues is an excellent position to be most sensitive in responding to the recommendations and the findings of the task force. so the report itself, in addition to the recommendations, we co

george, in just a few minutes at 10:30 local time, two key ministers, the right wing education ministers and justice ministers have their own press conference where it is possible they will announce their own resignation and that would mark the collapse of prime minister benjamin netanyahu's coalition. that is an eagerly awaited statement, and would cap what has been a turbulent week for netanyahu, the most difficult, most challenging week since the last election in early 2015. we'll be looking carefully at what they say, how they say it and how the process goes from here. late last week, the fight was between netanyahu and his finance minister. he seemed to manage that one okay, and now it's between netanyahu and his own education minister who has demanded the defense portfolio after the defense minister resigned last week. so that brings you this idea of pressure points with a lot of demands made on netanyahu and his government. it could be just a few minutes here, the end of netanyahu's coalition. so we'll certainly keep you posted there. meanwhile, the opposition, main opposition party, designed

solutions that really need to radiate across sectors from housing to the schools, to education , to criminal justice moment there's a ton of wealth coming to cities like austin, san francisco, new york, la, seattle, the wealth is being captured at the one percent currently added not traveling down to either public offers or the working class. what does that mean when we hit the next cycle? and the wealth isn't there anymore? what does it mean in two years, three years, four years or sooner when the opportunity drives up to be able to create air resources we can invest properly together in a way of life. there is a national project in washington right now that is very divisive and i would argue is outright cruel. in contrast to that we are having a very difficult time in our cities arguing for a way of life that is incidentally just as cruel or accidentally just as cruel or structurally just as cruel. we really need to find this moment in the next several years to really turn that around and figure out ways of coming ttogether. there are people in the book arguing for solutions in that respect and i

justice. what about education? should the department of education have a role in this? sen.alexander: my view of the department of education has always been that the secretary has a wonderful bully pulpit, but he or she should not be telling colleges are schools what to do. there are 6000 colleges, 100,000 public schools. we don't need a national school board. but i certainly think the united states secretary of education could have a role in reminding university presidents and board members of all the same things i just talked about. i think the credibility of the u.s. department of justice would be important here just to say, here is they law. here is what the supreme court has said. the first amendment requires. let's keep it simple. here's what a heckler's veto is and you can't do it. you can't do it under the law. we just did that one thing and that eliminates 40% of the problems. mr. rosenstein: final question from the audience, a bit of a different perspective. it asks, it seems university departments such as diversity and inclusion that are aimed to empower students
