so that's what lee hirsch's film was really all about. he's taken 5 families and he's documented it and yesterday over 3,000 of our students had a chance to view and many of them i think cried because they know it's happening in their own school site. and just because we get a label sometimes in san francisco that we're progressive or that we know better, it's happening also on our own turf to unacceptable levels. i wanted it share with you i'll be doing my part, i'll be doing more than my part. i've indicated to melinda and certainly ann marie and her coordination of this, we will be on the forefront with our school district and our administrators and our commissions to work together with the bay area to end this, to talk about it and expose it and to continue really carrying out a promise that we have made as leaders in our very dynamic bay area. we will not tolerate intolerance and we will expose it, get rid of it, and we will educate our kids, the next generation who will hopefully inherit a better world. we've got to set those condit

hirsch addressed so eloquently so i won't go into that.i do want to say that we too at open house are seeing many no fault evictions. we have a housing clinic that we've had for about two, two and a half years in which we try to provide information to assist people in finding affordable senior housing. i realize this month earlier in the month they was taking appointments for this clinic in march for may and june. that's how great the need is right now. i would like to share with you actually a few examples of the kinds of people that are meeting in the housing clinic. one is a 70 year old woman who had been working as i residential manager on chestnut street. part of her job she received housing. when the employer decided that she was too old to continue working they wanted to dismiss her, not only from the job, but from her housing in approximately three months. she had been on this job for about 10 years. i was able to ask for additional time knowing how difficult it is. she lives only on social social but this is the point that i think

we had a question and answer session at the end of the movie and lee hirsch was there, unsolicited, he was not a plant, a student stood up, he was probably an athlete, strong, good-looking young man, he stood up and said what can i do when i get back to my school to make a difference? can we start a club, can we have an event, will you support that? it was a superintendent's dream to have a student say, what can i do? we want every student to go back and say we're going to do something and make it part of what we're going to do against bullying. the one thing i will share with you, ladies and gentlemen, this is not an issue that is just a school district issue. this is an issue that is a community issue. ironically yesterday as we were preparing to have 3,000 students come to 4 or 5 different venues across san francisco to watch this film, the evening before and the morning of the film yesterday we were in very close communication with the superintendent in marin county schools because there had been an incident where some pictures had been posted on facebook that were very compromisin

steve hirsch, one of the biggest porn producers spoke to "nightline" in 2009. >> the truth is, when peopleant to see condoms, condoms in adult movies just don't sell, it is a fact. >> reporter: they say they don't want to use condoms, but they also say they would like to use 16-year-old girls and they don't want to do that. city and government officials don't want to deal with it ba because it deals with sex and pornography, that is a really bad reason. they required the condom use in l.a. county, it passed last year. some in the porn industry sued to overturn that decision, saying it was unconstitutional. and just last week their claim was rejected by a federal judge. but still, of all the major adult film producers only one studio requires condom use for all of their contract stars. wicked pictures. >> most of the companies frown upon it. if you are coming in saying, you know, i want to wear a condom, chances are they're going to take the girl that is going to do it without the condom. >> reporter: there have been any number of current actresses who say it does not bother them, are they

hirsch, huge fan of yours. roper list to ask questions. where was the outrage when iraq was using chemical weapons against iran. i know this is a war setting as opposed to civilians. but i do not remove or anyone having any outrage when chemical weapons were used in the iraq war. the next come and i wanted to make is just like kansas was a precursor to the civil war, it seems to me that this is a research -- precursor to the war with iran. a thought, hasis block, our data, and syria -- hezbollah, iraq, and syria. the other, is what would be the purpose now of an attack. it seems to me that the time between the actual chemical weapons attack and the response is so delayed that it seems to me it is almost -- does not serve a purpose now. and the other thing is what good is the cia? if they cannot give us the intelligence to target the actual individuals involved in using the chemical weapons. ,ost: i lot out there, caller let's let our guest respond. guest: in terms of the early chemical weapons used by saddam hussein in the 1980 for the, th

i hope some of you had the opportunity to meet lee hirsch because i've done a lot of work with him in the context of our bullying. one of my favorite memories in my experience with lee is that we watched this film together with about a thousand people in sioux falls, south dakota, it was remarkable to watch the reactions of the kids in sioux falls, parents, educators, and we did that same q and a when we were done. i appreciate the wonderful words of your superintendent, that was exactly the dynamic in sioux falls and that's the remarkable thing, superintendent, is that this issue knows no boundaries. this issue knows -- it doesn't know class boundaries, it doesn't know race boundaries, it's an issue regretablely that has been timeless. it seems we were all too frequently taught that bullying is simply a rite of passage, i went to christ the king grammar school in buffalo, new york, you would go behind the building and settle your scores at the end of the day and that was an accepted way of doing business. but we're learning and raising consciousness that, no, it's not an acceptable w

so lee hirsch is producer, director, he spent an enormous amount of time in the lives of our 5 families. he is going to be our speaker today. our other guest is roslyn wiseman. those of you who are parents have probably read her books. queen bee, queen bee wannabes, she has something else coming out that i'm probably not allowed it talk about yet, something to do with boys coming up. but i want to get started because our time is short. lee, first of all, tell us about bully, please, what was your inspiration for that. >> sure, we kind of met before, we definitely wanted to make our session a little more relaxed and so what we'll try and throw it out to questions pretty soon and have a bit of a free style banter amongst ourselves. but bully basically began as a, like most independent film makers, a dream, how can i possibly make this film, be able to capture bullying and give it a home, if you will, in something as durable and impactful as a documentary or a film. it very much grew from my own experiences of having been bullied as a kid and feeling like or taking the memory of how hard i

with us is michael hirsch, hillaryman leveritt and christopher swift.nk you all for joining us tonight. hillary, president obama said wednesday he has not decided whether to launch a strike that would punish the assad regime for last wednesday's gas attack on civilians in the suburbs of damascus, saying any attack would be focused and deceasive but in a clear way. can any military action be clear and decisive and limited at the same time? >> well, the discussion here in washington seems to be just a question of which day the attack is going to take place, so i haven't seen any real discussion, any real substantive discussion rolling back any plan to attack syria. the idea whether it can be clear, limited and decisive is something that we have not seen really in history. we saw during the clinton administration, pin trick strikes against iraq that didn't do anything and saw them take out a pharmaceutical plant in sudan that just debriefed citizens of medicine. >> michael, do you think with the british sort of backing away that president obama is clearly

josh hirsch reporting from over there was saying this morning after the police started clearing out the protests, then more protesters came from the other direction so the police were shooting in both directions. and there were thousands of people in this main sit-in. people have not seen a lot of them come out. so, you know, this could be a lot worse than it even seems at this particular point. >> ayman, in terms of who has the most leverage at this point, it's a fluid and chaotic situation, but in terms of the restoration of order, i guess we'll see what happens tonight at curfew, although you seem to think that that curfew may not -- that protesters may not, as it were, go silently into the night as the government tries to impose a curfew on them? >> reporter: yeah, there's no indication whatsoever that supporters of the ousted president and those part of the anti-coup position are going to abide by the curfew. what it means for the majority of egyptians who are not taking sides, they'll probably stay away from the streets, but these flash points are popping up not only in the capito
