it's just a distribution of the ethnic population in san francisco and some of the changes from 1990 to 2010, and the dynamic population, it continues to change. the first thing i want to point out here, now, this is -- this is data looking at adolescents and this is now in san francisco broken up between children on the left-hand side and adolescents on the right-hand side. what we do notice is that from 2005 to 2007, that there has, there has been a decrease in sugary drink consumption among children 2 to 11. and, so, our interpretation of that is the impact that's having and educating parents about decreasing sugary drink consumption among young children. unfortunately, when the kids reach the age like my children and they have access to the environment where sugary beverages are readily available, we can see in the most recent data, 2011 to 2012, we've had an increase in sugary beverage consumption among all youth across all ethnicities. the next slide points out, this is now looking at children and adolescents you can see in two or more glasses of sugary drinks by ethnicity. and

when i offered the resolution to have the ethnic studies it was a fight to get it passed, there were groups that were against it. there were some that came out and protested against the ethnic studies and as we see in the states such as arizona, they have succeeded. but in san francisco, thank goodness, that we have the voice of what our students really need and what they really do to serve and, we serve 90 percent students of color and i think that is, and it is socially responsible, for us and it is what we should be doing to offer ethnic studies. i think that we also need to model everything that we expect the principal and teachers to do and it is a difficult thing, i think, that these conversations are, as i said, are very delicate and i think that we need really skilled people to be able to introduce us and to talk about the racial equity in a way that the people do not feel defensive and in a way that the people understand that in order to best educate and i think that the words of this middle schoolteacher where you captured, their quote of the middle schoolteacher that says,

but still i think that, you know, some consideration of race and ethnicity or of -- not of race and ethnicity place -- makes sense. i do want to end, though, with the point that i'm not sure that -- or i'm sure it's not going to be the panacea that some would like of overcoming the gaps that we have between different groups not only racial groups, but also economic groups in terms of their ability to do academic work at a particular level. the problem is that when you grow up, you are to some extent going to be a product of your environment. and there are a lot of reasons why children growing up today don't have the same advantages and the same disadvantages growing up. the most obvious one is if you are growing up in a home without a father. every social pathology that you can think of to has a correlation with growing up in a single-parent household. and this is a problem that cannot be wished away and is1y=u going to be solved by giving preferences when kids get to be, you know, 18 years old. you're more likely to drop out of school, you're more likely to get in trouble with school, you're

that some concerns were raised about the need for more equitable and fair funding, especially to ethnic lgbt women and under served communities, arts organizations. and i know that there was an effort last year to take some of the resources to -- i don't know that there were increases in grants for the arts, but taking some of the resources to fund more equitable arts funding. we're coming up in july, i think it's later in july for a hearing on a budget analyst report that looked at 25 years of the funding within grants for the arts. at that time i know i'll be raising some of the same concerns. but i'm just wondering if you can comment on progress, if any. i think the report highlighted that there's probably been no progress over the past few years in more equitable funding for the smaller arts groups, especially ethnic community arts given the demographic shifts in the population. and i'm just wondering if you can just comment on the lack of progress. >> well, i think i look forward to that hearing in july. i think we need to dive down into that report a bit more. i will note that whe

sectarian and ethnic, in the first place that got us into the problems we're in now. the lack of sophisticated understanding or desire to know the sophisticated understanding on the ground by the bush administration, created the kind of situation that he's had to deal with. there may be questions to ask how vigilant in the last year or two the obama administration has been. the obama administration and the region has been concerned about afghanistan. there's a certain desire on the part of the american leaderships as well as the country to forget about iraq. bumt the root of the problem was the fact we went in and the way we went in to begin with in 2003 and it's been -- it's what got the president elected, ronan, the mistakes of the bush administration that got the president elected. he thought he ended it properly and tied it off if you will, almost like after a surgery. but now it's bleeding again. does he bear some responsibility? of course, he's president. the roots of the modern political and military and diplomatic problem in that region begin with george w. bu

presently, most of the gains -- gangs are organized along the lines of race and ethnicity. some of the more naval games include the black guerrilla family, the mexican mafia and the aryan brotherhood. usually get inducted into one of these games a prospective member must carry out what's known as a blood in, blood out requirement. blood in basically means that the recruit must have a member of a rival gang. blood out means it's very difficult to leave the game once a record has been inducted into the group. ominously, the microcosm of the prison could be a bellwether of what lies ahead for america. christopher you want to discuss domestic terrorism in the united states and its perpetrators. he argues that terrorism has occurred in a series of waves. according to him, terrorism has almost always been linked to a wider social movement. for instance, the ku klux klan terrorism in the south was part of a broader pattern of white resistance to the civil rights struggle. black terrorism, including killings by the black liberation army, was associate with the rise of the black pow
