ACLU v. Podhorsky?
The Battle for Free Speech at La Jolla High School, Part 2

By Ryan Robson
News Editor Elect
The Hi-Tide has learned that
two letters have been delivered
to the administration of La Jolla
High School (LJHS) and to the
General Counsel of the San Diego
Unified School District (SDUSD)
concerning LJHSs Free Speech
Bulletin Board (FSBB).
The letters were jointly written
by lawyers David Loy and JeanPaul Jassy and detail how they
believe that California and federal laws regarding free speech are
being violated at LJHS.
The letters, dated March 25
and April 27, address a number
of issues related to the FSBB and
free speech at LJHS, including:
(a) an apparent attempt on
the part of the administration of
LJHS to illegally rewrite a 2012
legal agreement between the
American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) and the SDUSD concerning postings on the FSBB and
on the senior benches;
(b) a string of California and
federal laws that the ACLU believes that the administration of
LJHS has violated, specifically
in the manner in which it has
addressed issues related to the
FSBB;
(c) a request by the ACLU for
video footage of cameras directed
at the FSBB to determine if LJHS
officials improperly removed
postings from the FSBB; in this
particular request, specifically in

the days before the WASC visit
on April 22; and
(d) a warning that litigation
may ensue to enforce the right
[of LJHS students] to engage in
speech that is protected by Cali-
the posting date. The rapid removal of the Eric Garner posters
violated this policy. After being
made aware of their removal,
the administration ran bulletin
notices on December 12 and 17
that read in part:
The mere fact that expressive activity causes hurt feelings, offense, or
resentment does not render the expression unprotected.
- Sypniewski v. Warren Hills Regl Bd. of Educ.
fornia and federal law.

Mr. Loy, the legal director of
the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties, and Mr. Jassy,
a LJHS graduate and lawyer in
private practice who was named
First Amendment Lawyer of
the Year for 2015, successfully
litigated a prior free speech lawsuit against the administration
of LJHS and the SDUSD in 2012.
Wide use of the FSBB began
in December 2014 when posters titled I Cant Breathe were
posted on the FSBB and on other bulletin boards around LJHS
in response to the death of Eric
Garner, an African-American
man from New York.
The policy that Messrs. Loy
and Jassy hammered out with
lawyers from the SDUSD states
that posters posted on the FSBB
must stay up for two weeks past
(Dec 12): Students may display messages on the bulletin

board... consistent with AP 6210.
All postings... must display the
date of posting and may be removed after two weeks from that
date, and
(Dec 17): The bulletin board
on the east facing wall of the Admin. Building adjacent to the senior benches is considered a free
speech bulletin board. Please do
not remove items place [sic] on
this board.
The Eric Garner posters and
the bulletin notices made students more familiar with their
long-held free speech rights and
sparked a wide range of new
content from December to the
present time. Many of the higher
profile postings during this time
frame have either been critical
of and/or satirized the adminis-
tration and some teachers. Many

of these critical/satirical posters
were removed well before the twoweek time period mandated by the
ACLU/SDUSD agreement, some of
them within 1 to 2 days and others
still within hours of being posted.
On January 12, the administration posted a number of oversized blue posters on the FSBB that
made modifications to the Free
Speech Policy found in the student
handbook and on the LJHS website. In the days before the posting
of these modifications, however,
screen shots of the LJHS web-site,
retained by the Hi-Tide, show that
the student handbook with the
legally agreed upon Free Speech
Policy had been removed from the
schools web-site without explanation.
These modifications to the Free
Speech Policy were made without
consulting the ACLU, which is in
part what prompted the March
25th letter from Messrs. Loy and
Jassy. The administration had been
previously warned of the potential
of the ACLUs involvement with
the FSBB at the February 2 Governance/SSC meeting. Those in
attendance, including a LJHS vice
principal, teachers, and parents,
were told that imposing limitations
on the FSBB had the potential to
expand into ACLU contact, especially given that the ACLU had
dealt with the issue of free speech
at LJHS once before.
Although Dr. Podhorsky was
not present at this meeting, he told

faculty through an e-mail update
shortly afterwards that [I] continue to work with our district legal
team to stay within the legal parameters of this board.
The March 25th ACLU letter
was addressed to Dr. Podhorsky
and outlined in detail why the
ACLU believed that California and
federal laws had been violated by
the administration in its handling
of the FSBB. Each believed violation was explained in detail and
included citations of case law to
support the ACLUs claims.
The edited Free Speech Policy
posted on the FSBB on January
12 stated that examples of content
prohibited on the FSBB included
violent images, racial, misogynistic, anti-sematic [sic], inciting
hate messages, and language that
is bullying, among other things.
The latter echoes sentiments articulated at the March 6 PTA meeting, at which Dr. Podhorsky in his
Principals Report said that students were being actively encouraged to remove posters from the
FSBB that they felt were bullying..
In its March 25th letter, the
ACLU argued that standing alone,
the term bullying is vague and
unenforceable. Though of course
the school need not tolerate true
threats or harassment that is severe
or pervasive, it is certainly not
enough to justify censorship that
the speech is merely offensive to

POLICE PRECINCTS IN CRISIS

Tension Increases Between Police Officers and Citizens Across America
By Vivi Bonomie &

Ryan Robson
News Editors Elect
Wheres Brian? queried a
man placing a call to his son on a
Saturday evening.
Brians been shot, came the
sobering reply. In the face.
New York Police Department Officers Brian Moore and
Erik Jansen had been patrolling
a Queens neighborhood on Saturday, May 2, in an unmarked
Crown Victoria when they saw a
man, Demetrius Blackwell, give
his waistband a suspicious tug.
According to The Wall Street
Journal (WSJ), Officer Moore
asked, Do you have something
in your waistband?, to which the
35-year-old male replied, Yeah, I
got something, and fired a handgun three times at the officers.
Moores father, a retired NYPD
sergeant, called his sons phone
that night and received the

shocking news that he was dead.
A police officer with NYPDs
anticrime unit, Moore died at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center
two days later, just a few weeks
before his fathers wedding.
Moores May 8th funeral drew
a crowd of 27,000 mourners,
many of them law enforcement
officers from across America,
whom the NYPD affectionately referred to as a #SeaOfBlue.
JetBlue waived the ticket price
for officers who wished to attend
the event in New York.
New York City Mayor Bill de
Blasios support for the NYPD
was praised by Patrolmens Benevolent Association President
Patrick Lynch. According to the
WSJ, Lynch said, The mayors
recent words are measured and
careful ... Theres support and
thats important. The two men
recently locked horns over com-
ments Mayor de Blasio made

regarding a grand jurys decision
not to indict the officer who put
Eric Garner in a fatal chokehold
despite his now-famous cry, I
cant breathe.
Violent interactions between
police and citizens in America
appear to have reached critical
mass this year, with shootings
sprawling across the nation and
accusations flying.
Over a month ago, in Baltimore, Maryland, twenty-fiveyear-old Freddie Gray was pronounced dead from injuries
sustained while in police custody. Gray and a friend were walking down the street with a knife
when they saw several police officers on a corner. The Baltimore
Sun reported that Gray and his
companion fled, unprovoked,
and were pursued by police until
they were arrested a few blocks
away.
After Gray was arrested, the officers requested a van to transport

him. The van ride, which included
several stops on the way to the station nearby, lasted approximately
40 minutes. Police stated that no
force had been used to detain Gray;
although he was slightly dragged
into the van (as shown in a citizen
video), he was able to use his legs
and speak.
Baltimore Deputy Police Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez said,
When Mr. Gray was placed inside
the van, he was able to talk and
when Mr. Gray was taken out of
that van, he could not talk and he
could not breathe.
Grays death sparked large-scale
protests in Baltimore as well as violent rioting which was primarily
fueled by cries of police brutality
and inequality.
Some involved in the riots were
upset about the negative coverage
they have been receiving from

Blurred Lines Between Rioting and Protesting
Friend or Foe?
In recent times, there have

been a multitude of protests
and riots within our home
country. Most of these have revolved around the issue of the
lack of fair treatment for all citizens by police.
Now, more than ever, the
lines between peaceful protest and rioting have become
blurred. It is hard to say for
sure whether the intentions of
these people were for the purpose of productively protesting or causing a disturbance.
When you try to look at a
protest that goes partially violent or to dangerous levels
of violence (including rioting,
looting, and setting buildings on fire), it is very easy to
categorize it and say that the
protesters involved are causing unnecessary negativity. It
would be illogical, however, to
generalize a protest like this in
such a manner.
The reason people decided to protest was to highlight
something they believe is out of
line or immoral. Furthermore,
if the original out-of-the-door
intentions were to cause harm
to others and destroy things, it
would have been so from the
start. Also if there were groups
of both non-violent and violent protesters, it would be juvenile to assume that the protest could be considered a riot,
but should be seen, instead,
was a mixture of both peaceful
activism and violence.

In a different situation,
one that would be clearly violent and has no productive
aim, one can safely categorize
the situation as a riot. It causes no harm to generalize an
event like this because of the
circumstances. It is more productive because those involved
can move the focus away from
violence and more towards
peaceful activism. The reason
its okay to make observations
more quickly in this situation
is because there is a clear demeanor; in most real life situations it is best to wait until it
has passed to make the most
accurate judgment of whether
it was a riot, protest, or mix.
In the case of both Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore,
Maryland, there was no clear
deviation from one side to another. During the Ferguson
turmoil, many African Americans, and people of other races
as well, took to the streets to
show their discontent with the
death of Michael Brown by a
police officer. During the legal process to decide whether
the officer involved should be

tried, looting and violence ensued around the town.
In Baltimore, Freddie Gray
died while in police custody.
This also caused many to take
to the streets and call for justice. This modern, urban social
struggle is a dynamic forum for
change that will continue to be
confused with other phenomena, like in these cases of protesting or rioting.
In order to better represent this modern, urban social
struggle, there should be a new
term created to describe the
instances of productive nonviolence and radical violence. A
more neutral and fitting word
or phrase such as turmoil or
possibly public outcry would
better represent the mixed feelings displayed by the people
involved in both incidents.
All in all, it is not simple,
nor will it ever be, to describe
the world around us in a balanced and accurate way, especially when events are disputed
and people adhere strongly to
one side or another.

Photojournalism Editor Elect
These past few months, national news has been deluged

with stories about ISIS, everything from bombings to arrests
and even beheadings. There
have been accounts of local
militants fighting back against
the terrorist force. There are
many Americans who believe
that the USA should launch
a full assault on the forces of
ISIS.
As of now, the only involvement is supplying resistance
groups, and most likely some
involvement that the American public is not aware of. If
the U.S.A were to formally
declare war on the organization (as was done to Al-Qaeda
in 2001), ground troops, air
units, mobilized armor, and all
matter of drones would be sent
into the Middle East to fight
the ensuing battles.
Some Americans think that
taking action is necessary. This
year, ISIS has released a hit list
against American soldiers liv-
ing in America, hoping that an

ISIS supporter will kill them.
FBI director James Comey has
said that ISIS is present in all
50 states. Others worry about
a full involvement, as it has
the potential to sap economic
resources, increase debt, and
turn into another Iraq War.
America should begin an assault, but only if our forces are
backed by the United Nations
(which includes world powers
like Britain, France, Germany,
China, Japan, etc.)
Both sides have reason behind them, yet there is a problem with not engaging at all.
Even here in San Diego, ISIS
is present. Mohamad Saeed
Kodaimati was arrested in
Rancho Bernardo this past
Wednesday for being suspected of ISIS connections. In another case, 6 men (including
one from San Diego) were arrested for suspected involvement and intentions of traveling to the Middle East to fight
for ISIS. Whether you like it or
not, ISIS is a prominent threat.
The USA should engage
them in an effective way.

America should not have to go
in alone; many other nations
including Britain, France, Israel, and Japan have all felt the
sting of terrorism at the hands
of ISIS at some point. It should
be a joint operation, organized
by the United Nations, instead
of just America rolling in by
itself. The combined efforts
would make the proceeding ordeal result in fewer casualties,
and take less time due to more
involvement. A front being led
by only a single nation would
be far less effective then combined forces.
If intervention does not occur, the situation will only grow
worse as ISIS gains a bigger following. Rebel groups are currently fighting ISIS in the Middle East, but that simply isnt
enough. In just two years, ISIS
has gone from a small terrorist
network smaller than Al-Qaeda to a full blown global threat.
The sooner the action is taken,
the faster this terrorist group
will be diminished, along with
the violence and destruction.
Is the risk and inevitable

permanent displacement of
water in California worth watering grass over? Must all of
our houses mimic the white
picket fence and pristine lawns
that permeate the east and
Midwest of the United States?
To me, that just seems ridiculous. I implore you, go
out into the bush or a hiking
trail around San Diego with
your parents and take note of
the landscape that will inevitably surround you. Notice all
of the dry brush, gravel, lazing
lizards in the sun, the cacti,
succulents, and wild flowers.
Ask your parents what they
see. Does this system look
healthy? Are the plants starving for water? Or, do they look
like theyve been there for centuries and have adapted to the
sparse rainfall that is normal
for southern California?
Also, do you think you
would see any green grass in a
desert? Now, Im not referring
to tall, bushy grass. But, green
grass that one could picture
spanning over a golf course.
You dont see it on the trails or
in the desert meadows deep
in the hills east of central San
Diego because it is not native.
Native, by definition, means
plants and/or animals that
are of indigenous origin or
growth. Green grass is not native to Southern California, yet
its present in suburban homes.
Because grass is a foreign
plant to our desert state, California shouldnt have nice
green lawns, but somehow
we still pull it off, even in a
drought. According to the Association of California Water
Agencies, as of right now, San
Diego has entered a Level
2 Drought Alert. This calls
for the watering of grass and
plants only two to three days
per week, with certain, other regulations for watering
during the summer and winter. Due to the drought we are
in, grass is becoming the enemy to all local residents.
And so, we may ask ourselves: what can I put on my
lawn instead of grass (or even
tacky fake-grass)? You can put
a number of different succulents, cacti, wild flowers, and
arrange them around gravel
walkways or stepping stones to
give your garden a quaint and
aesthetically pleasing feel. You
will not only save money on
your water bill, but also take
those first steps forward to becoming a more advanced and
environmentally conscious individual. Grass is whack, especially in Southern California.

the Essence
Summertime Sadness Forgetting
of Cultural Meaning
College Prep Taking Up Too Much Time

By Sophia Dorfsman
Student Focus Editor Elect
These days, our teenage
lives seem to be consumed by
non-stop work towards our
prospects. Guided by a cookie-cutter system, we are all on
this path to make a great future
for ourselves.
Everything we do seems to
be done to improve our resume
and impress colleges. Since
schoolwork takes up most of
our time between September
and June, summer break is
the time for us to expand our
horizons through other mediums than school. Sure, there
may be a road trip or family
vacation thrown in the mix,
but summer plans are geared
towards getting ahead.
When it comes to thinking
about the two and half month
long break from school we
have, most of us plan to improve our scores on the SAT or
ACT through educational programs; sign up for expensive,
multiple-week-long
summer
programs; intend to pursue internship positions; or go on college tours. Studying abroad for
a month or taking a course in a
hobby youre passionate about
are also options. But what really
happened to summer break?
Whatever the reason is,
summer seems to no longer be
about solely relaxing and releasing your mind of all the stress.
Its great to keep your mind going when school is not in session; however, we are all going
to burn out if we dont have a
substantial, true break from it
all. I need time to regenerate.
You need time to regenerate.
There is more pressure on
us now to succeed farther than
previous generations. The expectations have become so high
and absurd that it seems like
when someone chooses to not
do productive, educative activities during the summer, they
are automatically behind others
who did. It feels like a competition, when it should feel more
like we are in this together.

Society needs to realize that
there is an extremely heavy
weight being put on all of our
shoulders that will eventually
cause us to collapse.
We need to realize that we
are all headed towards the
same goal: we want to succeed
in life, but we all have different definitions of success. I
wish it didnt need to feel like
a competition about personal
success in life, but it too often
does. I mean, so what if you
spend most of your summer
days laying out under the sun
at the beach?
Youre enjoying this stage in
your life where you have that
freedom and are awaiting the
full-time working days. But if
doing a whole lot of nothing
isnt your thing, enrolling in a
summer program, internship
or getting a job probably is
the path youll take. Both options are perfect. I just wish
there wasnt so much pressure
to do the latter.

the culture or believe in its

traditions. This could be due
largely to the fact that people
are not educated in what these
customs mean beforehand.
Many people just follow the
crowd in what everyone else
is doing. If people are wearing
bindis or getting the box braid
hairstyle and it starts to become a popular trend, people
will instantly want to and will
follow those trends, not realizing how people can be offended by it.
In some cases, though, people might not be offended.
Some view what people call
cultural appropriations as
just another culture adopting
it and evolving it. In an article posted by the Huffington
Post, Anjali Joshi explained
how cultural appropriation is
being taken too literally. Culture evolves. Indians appreciated the beauty of a bindi and
brought it into the world of
fashion several decades ago.
The single red dot that once
was transformed into a multitude of colors and shapes
Hindus accepted the evolution of this cultural symbol.
It is only when the true significance of a symbolic item
is stripped from its religious,
historical, and cultural context that makes it offensive to
the people that practice a culture.
So, what can we actually say
is cultural appropriation? Is it
now so common that we all see
and physically participate in
cultural appropriation without
realizing it? To everyone, it is
interpreted differently. Some
may see it as offensive to wear
something that is symbolic to
a culture, even if it is just for a
party or just for fun.
Others may be more lenient
on their opinion as to what is
cultural appropriation as long
as it doesnt take away the valued meaning of the item. All
in all, cultural appropriation
shouldnt be regularly practiced on all items that are from
a specific culture, but if it is, it
should not be stripped away
from its true valued meaning.
We all come from different

cultures, races, and ethnicities
that define us as who we are.
Our ideologies and beliefs can
shape our everyday life and
what we believe in. When cultural practices, traditions, or
customs are misused, it can
offend many who believe in
the importance of being respectful to their practices and
traditions. Nowadays, cultural practices and customs are
being used as an accessory or
style, setting aside their genuine significance.
Now, more than ever, people are wearing jewelry, clothing, designs, and hair styles
that can be seen as hip and
cool, but have great meaning
for a certain culture.
The holy cross, a universal symbol for the religion of
Christianity, is now worn by
girls on their neck or ear, not
as a religious symbol for God
but as a weird looking T.
Headdresses and Native
American-printed or beaded
clothing are seen as hipster by
teenage girls, but are still symbolic to the culture of Native
Americans; each symbol in
Native American patterns are
symbolic in some way to their
native culture and head dresses were only worn by the most
influential and powerful member in a tribe.
Box braids, a hairstyle that
is predominantly worn by
women in the black community, is now being embraced
by other people from different
races as a cool hairstyle.
The infamous bindi that
women wore at Coachella this
year was worn as an accessory,
when it has been used by many
religions for thousands of
years as a symbol of femininity, wisdom, and being a Hindu
woman of Islam.
All of the examples listed
above show how badly our
modern age is disregarding the
fact that these cultural customs
still have significance even if
you personally dont practice

Directly after graduation, you are stuffed into the

car with your family for a roadtrip to the Midwest.
You will spend your afternoons dodging questions
about college and trying to get your tan on in 100
precent humidity and mosquito swarmed skies. Cell

you so fondly spent summers at through your childhood. Your excitment is slowly chipped away as every afternoon you must take being chewed out by all
the moms in their luxury cars for not remembering
to re-apply their kids sunscreen or reminding you
of their babys special diet. Your manager will then
yell at you for leaving the kids unattended. Better
keep a stick of zinc in your back pocket at all times

Since you cant seem to stay in one spot for more

than two seconds, you will most likely be bumming it
around from bonfire to bonfire meeting new people
from schools all around San Diego and having a blast
while doing so. Meanwhile, your friends will be worried sick looking for you because youre not answering anyones call and when they finally do find you,
you wont have a clue as to why they are all mad at
you. So, keep the marshmallows close but keep your
friends closer.
Cancer: June 21 - July 22
You are going to be wasting away in your bedroom

while watching all the latest chick-flicks on Netflix
and eating spoonfuls out of the Nutella tub while
you begin waiting for mister right, while all your
friends are having summer flings with mister wrong.
Each time they beg you to come out and hang out
with them, you give them the same old I cant, Im
really busy excuse. In reality, you are definitely not
getting busy in the same pajamas youve had on for
three days.
You will be spending the scorching hot summer

days stuck in the small back office of your dads very
prestigious job, which reeks of dust and old books,
making coffee runs up and down the unfamiliar
halls, trying to learn the ropes of your not so soonto-be business. You slowly walk back into your closet of an office, only to check your phone and find
100-second long SnapChat stories of your friends
jumping off of the Sunset Cliffs and submerging into
the ocean. Dont lose faith.
This summer will be spent bingewatching Orange

is the New Black for seventy two hours straight. You
will become so absorbed that you will actually start
to believe you are incarcerated in Litchfield. You are
officially grounded when Grandma drops by for a
visit and walks in on you trying to draw in teardrop
tattoos surrounding the curve of your hands while
donning an orange jumpsuitand you didnt even
get time to come up with a cool backstory to explain
yourself.
Leo: July 23 - August 22
Virgo: August 23 - September 23
Libra: September 24 October 22
You will spend your summer trying to impress that

special one, whether it be driving down their street
for the 100th time, hoping they will finally turn their
head and notice you passing by and hopefully saying,
What a coincidence, or bathing yourself in your
brand new cheap perfume/cologne, so they can later
compliment you on your new sexy scent while gazing
into your eyes.
Scorpio: October 23 November 21
Your summer will be a never-ending adventure

in search of the perfect Instagram post. Perfected filters and timed for the prime hours of the evening for
checking your feed, you keep them rolling in every
week. Your crush seems to ignore every post, but his
Snapchat story says hes on an African safari, which
means he probably doesnt have any Internet access,
right?
You might love spending time galavanting around,

but your parking karma will be no good. You will get
so many parking tickets for lingering too long in the
90 minute zones, even though you only went a minute
over the time. Your parents will call you irresponsible
and sell the car. Have no fear: your neighbor leaving
for college will give you his vintage and in great condition beach cruiser. Dont forget your helmet.
Summer will be a perfect combination of parties

and shows. When your parents leave for Europe without you, you will throw a party. People from all parts
of San Diego will flock to your house only to leave
you alone in bed surrounded by suspicious stains and
Dorito bags filled with vomit. Your true friends will

You will begin this summer by getting prepped

A New Twist on Music Sharing
By Yenitzia Lopez
Features Editor Elect
Before Music Messenger,

the only way to share music
was through sending YouTube
links or via email. The new
buzzing app allows users to
search just about any song in
the world, create playlists, and
send them to any friend on
their contacts list via text message.
The song(s) will then be
stored in their Music Messenger library, where the person
who received the message will
be able to go back and listen to
that song at any time.
The app also introduces its
users to the top music charts,
genres, and current playlists.
Not only is this app super con-

venient, but it is also available in

10 different languages.
The app that first started off
as a small business in Israel is
now valued as a $100 million
app that works wonders.
Nearly seven months after
the app was launched, it was
able to successfully complete
two rounds of $35 million in
funding. With the help of internet entrepreneur Kobo,
who in only months after its
launch sold his previous startup
(Pheed), Music Messenger was
introduced to the world.
Pheed, which was another
social media app, sold for $40
million to Mobile Media, only
18 months after its release.
Kobo along with his co-founders Shai Azran and Uzi Refaeli,
began to create Music Messen-
ger together.
With the help of other
internet sources such as Yahoo!, SoundCloud, YouTube,
Baidu, and several others,
Music Messenger is able to
provide users with a wide variety of music.
Unlike other free music
providers, Music Messenger also has a Download
on iTunes window that is
shown every time you click
on a song.
The business model intends to prompt users to purchase songs to benefit artist
earnings, so everyone is happy.
This summer, the app is
planning to expand to China,
and soon after to Brazil, India, Asia, and Latin America.
addictive disorders.
Stigma surrounding mental
illness is the single factor that
prevents teens from asking for
help. They fear being perceived
as weak or crazy, and becoming an outcast by both friends
and classmates.
In most cases, the longer
a student goes untreated, the
worse the consequences. Just
like a fire that is easy to put
out in its early stages, a mental
health condition is much easier to treat and manage when
symptoms first appear.
Imagine that the student
next to you has ADHD, and
think about how difficult it

must be for that student who
has trouble staying focused to
succeed academically. They
also may get in trouble a lot
because they simply can not
control their outbursts or impulsive behavior.
Students battling with depression, anxiety, or bipolar
disorder also carry a heavy
burden. They undoubtedly
keep their painful depression,
deep, uncontrollable anxiety,
and dramatic mood swings to
themselves as well.
Sometimes the pain and
loneliness is too great, and the

Since not everyone can afford

a monthly subscription fee for

The Newest Addition to the Royal Family

Saturday, May 2nd, brought
the birth of Princess Charlotte
Elizabeth Diana, fourth in line
for the throne, into the royal
family. The birth of Kate Middleton and Prince Williams
baby girl has been highly anticipated since the announcement on September 8th that
the Duchess of Cambridge was
pregnant with the royal couples second child.
The Duchess went into labor Saturday morning around
6 a.m. at Londons St. Marys
Hospital and gave birth to
Princess Charlotte almost two
and half hours later. She was
accompanied by Prince William and her two trusty midwives.
Less than twelve hours after
delivering her baby, Kate and
William left the hospital to be
monitored at home.
The Duchess received heavy
criticism after leaving the hos-
pital, with critics claiming that

she appeared to look too perfect for someone who had just
given birth.
On Twitter, people began
to write comments exclaiming
that it was impossible for anyone to look so put-together after being in labor.
Middleton left the hospital
in a yellow dress and Jimmy
Choo high-heels, her hair flowing perfectly in the wind and
her makeup flawless.
While
her
appearance
seemed to be shocking to the
world, the people of London
could not have been happier
as they celebrated the birth of
Princess Charlotte.
cern.
Being a teenager, and getting through high school
alone, is a difficult task for anybody. But add debilitating depression, anxiety, addiction, or
self-harm to the picture, and
you have a perfect storm. Fear
of what others might think,
and of being different keeps
adolescents from reaching out
for help.
La Jolla High students
are diligent, compassionate,
bright, and socially aware. We
owe it to our fellow students
and friends to become educated about mental health.

Two World-Renowned Boxers Face Off in the Fight of the Century
This past month we have

had a lot of great sporting
events. The NFL Draft and the
141st Kentucky Derby brought
the usual excitement that occurs this time of year, but
many were amped and focused
on the fight of the century
between Emmanuel Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather. The hype accompanying the event brought much
speculation as to how it would

pointed with the outcome.

The build up to the fight was
what caused the fight to get so
much attention. Many people
were buzzing on social media,
choosing if they were on Team
Pacman (Pacquiao supporters)
or The Money Team (Mayweather supporters).
The overall money spent on
the fight and bidding on a winner was enormous. According to CNN, $180,000 is the
estimated cost of the ringside
seats on the night of the fight;

$100 was the fee pay-per-view
subscribers had to pay in order to watch the fight; and $1.5
million was the net worth of
Pacquiaos shorts alone after
the fight. And, according to
The Guardian, a $500,000 bet
on Pacquiao to win was the
biggest wager that the MGM
Grand ever had for a fight. The
event that took place on April
23rd became a $300 million
dollar fight that many were excited to watch.
The fight itself had unexpected outcomes. Mayweather threw 435 total punches
in the match, with Pacquiao
close behind with a total of
429 punches. This was below
Pacquiaos usual average of
thrown punches. Though they
both had a similar amount
of punches, Pacquiao only
landed 81 of those punches,
while Mayweather landed 134
punches.
Based on the statistics, the
three judges scored the fight as
116-112, 116-112, and 118-110
in Mayweathers favor, resulting in Mayweather winning
the fight by a unanimous decision.

Deflategate Update
By Stephanie Buchbinder
Sports Editor
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been

punished with a four-game
suspension without pay in relation to his probable involvement in the Deflategate scandal, which saw the Patriots
using under-inflated footballs
to gain an advantage in the
playoffs against the Indianapolis Colts in January. The teams
were competing for a spot in
Super Bowl XLIX, which the
Patriots went on to win.
In addition to Bradys suspension, the NFL announced
on May 11 that the Patriots
were also being fined $1 million and would forfeit their
first-round draft pick in 2016
and their fourth-round draft
pick in 2017.
Attorney Ted Wells was
hired by the NFL to investigate
the scandal, and his findings
confirmed that the team did,
in fact, use deflated footballs
to gain an unfair advantage
against the Colts. Although it
was not found that Brady had
direct involvement with the
deflation of the footballs, the
report stated that it is more
probable than not that Brady
was at least generally aware of
the inappropriate activities of

equipment assistant John Jastremski and locker room attendant Jim McNally. Jastremski
has been with the team for 14
years and, according to CNN,
has been in charge of preparation of game day footballs
for the past three years. The
league said that Jastremski and
McNally have been indefinitely suspended without pay since
May 6 and cannot be reinstated without NFL approval.
Due to his suspension,
Brady will not play in the first
four regular season games of
2015 but will still be allowed
to participate in training camp
and other preseason activities.
Controversy has arisen out
of the decisions, as some believe that Brady is not being
punished in a harsh enough
manner, while others believe
he should not be punished at
all. Bradys agent Tom Yee defended Brady, saying that, the
discipline is ridiculous and has
no legitimate basis.
The NFL Players Association has appealed the decision,
claiming, in part, that there is
insufficient evidence to punish Brady.
were upset by the fact that

Mayweather won, but many
more were more upset about
the controversy that arose after the fight. According to The
National, just an hour after
the fight, Pacquiao was complaining about an injury in
his right shoulder during the
fight; since he did not come
forward with the injury before
the fight, he is likely to face
disciplinary action for failing
to disclose a previous shoul-
der injury.
Viewers watching the fight
at the arena or pay-per-view
who felt that the end result
was cheated from them have
considered suing.
The fight that was supposed
to be a mega-hit turned out to
be an average fight between
two great boxers that many
felt were beyond their prime.
We will just have to wait again
until we have the next big boxing match to see if it is all that
we hope it to be.

How Young is Too Young To start Training for the Olympics?

By Jordan Beary
Staff Writer
Many people have the
dream of becoming an Olympic medalist. The journey to
get there is different in every
country and there have been
many controversies about
whether or not children should
be trained at a young age to
compete in the Olympics.
China is well known for their
ruthless training of young children to compete for the gold
medal. Many have wondered
how Chinese competitors are
so much stronger, faster and
fitter, than their rivals.
The sport that this crucial
technique is most commonly found is gymnastics. Children as young as the age of
four train in the gym for up
to eight hours a day, six days
a week. While training techniques appear to be extreme
to other eyes, it provides insight and explanation to why
China is winning so many of
these events. Parents of these
promising athletes, some of
whom are poor, are often given a home in their hometowns
by the local sports department.
Others just want a decent education for their children. Gymnastics is the main event where
this occurs, but it isnt the only
sport. Figure Skating, Diving
and also swimming are some
of the sports that China excel in

due to early training.
Chinese also excel in the following sports; canoeing, swimming, speed skating, American
football, Badminton, Bandy,
also known as Hockey, Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, Chess,
Cricket, Curling, Figure skating, Football, Golf, Motor racing, Rugby Union, Snooker, also
known as pool, Speed skating,
Table tennis, also known as ping
pong, Tennis, Volleyball and
Weightlifting. Not all of those
sports require training at such a
young age but are all taken very
seriously.
There has been an escalating amount of anger and disagreement these past years
over the conditions of these
children, who are forced to
live and breathe their sport,
many of whom are boarded at
the training center away from
their families. Although China
is the most involved with training these kids early in their life,
other countries such as Russia
and European countries are in
on the technique as well. Just
like China, they take the kids
at a young age and competitively train them at a sport. You
have to be sixteen years of age
to compete in the Olympics so
clearly you need to start early,
but is being forced at the age of
four too early?
Field Update
Mr. Hawthorne Gives an Update on the Field Reconstruction
By Creekstar Allan
Sports Editor Elect
Many students at La Jolla
High school have been aware
of the field reconstruction
since it was proposed, and now
that the construction is well
underway Mr. Hawthorne has
agreed to update the student
body on the progress of the
project.
There are still many decisions to be made about the
outcome of the field. Mr. Hawthorne announced that while
the field is under construction,
the teams that normally practice on the field would find alternative sites to practice and
compete, provided through
the efforts of our athletic director, coach Conway.
There is a possibility that
some field hockey games will
still be played home at Muirlands as normal, but sports like
soccer and football may not be
so fortunate to play that close
to home.
One thing that is being constructed is a tennis pavilion that
is going to be put next to the
current tennis courts with storage and office space as well as
outdoor seating covered by an
awning. Other alterations to the
field include replacing the press
box, remaking both the turf
and field, repainting the home
bleachers, installing permanent
away bleachers, a new weight
room, and rebuilding coaches
offices. Also, a new entrance by
the archway near the 500 building will be turned into a functioning funneling point into the
stadium.
Overall, its going to be a
challenge. However, we can
use it as motivation and give
us the opportunity to rally together, believing that we can
win no matter where we play.
The whole process is estimated
to be completed in a total of 18
months beginning to end.

CONSTRUCTION DISRUPTION
Hi-Tide
10
By Tristan Macelli &

Andrea Albanez
Photojournalism Editor Elect &
On April 20th, construction

of the new La Jolla High School
football field began. This is the
start of a major endeavor that
was put into place to beautify the
campus and bring LJHSs football
field up to code in terms of things
like wheelchair accessibility, etc.
The major focus of the construction includes improvements
to both the stadium and the mens
locker room. The current progress of this project can be seen in
the lower parking lot outside the
gymnasium. The workers have
begun to make the temporary
locker room. It is the first step in
a large-scale construction project
that is intended to take around
eighteen months.
Although this initial step is
will end up with something beautiful for LJHS, it has caused quite
a disruption to everyone who
parks at school. Since nearly all of
the lower parking is occupied by
construction, many of the teachers and students who were regularly parking in that area are now
forced to park elsewhere. The lack
of ample parking near and around
the school makes finding a spot
even harder for everyone who
normally parks on the west side

of the school.
When it comes to handicapped
spots, the situation is even worse
because of accessibility concerns.
According to the Americans with
Disabilities Act and Title 24, Accessible parking spaces serving a
particular building shall be located on the shortest accessible route
of travel from adjacent parking to
an accessible entrance (sandiegocounty.gov).
The parking lot next to the administration office and gym had
the accessible handicapped parking, the spaces that legally fit the
requirement above, but construction has blocked this area off. The
other handicapped parking spots
are located at the pool and at the
cafeteria, but, because of their distances from the main office, this
will prove a burden to those who
most need accessible parking and
are trying to get to the main office.
This construction has also

caused a rise in noise level over
the entirety of the day and, especially when jackhammers
were being used to break apart
cement, could be heard at least
halfway across the campus in the
500 Building.
During any other time of the
year these construction noises
would be bothersome but probably bearable, but the construction
and its loud noises conflicted with
the annual Advanced Placement
(AP) testing schedule. Some AP
test-takers were subjected to the
noise of the construction, including loud jackhammers, during
their testing.
Gary Stanford, the projects
director, said this construction
disruption will only affect the AP
testing schedule this year.
The demolition is slated to
continue through August.
The motive for this shooting

does not appear to have any connection to last years occurrence.
The victims of these two
shooters were two University of
California Santa Barbara [UCSB]
students who had some previous
relations with the two alleged
gang members. Initially, the interactions between Gutierrez, Taylor, and the students were calm,
but they quickly escalated into a
physical altercation.
A violent scene unfolded and
eventually the alleged gang members robbed the UCSB students at
gunpoint and then shot them.
Neither of the students sustained life-threatening injuries

but they nonetheless ended up
at the hospital. Before the alleged
gang members escaped, the students managed to catch Taylor.
Gutierrez got away.
Gutierrez was tracked down
after being admitted to Goleta
Valley Cottage Hospital, where
he was soon after placed into police custody with Taylor.
Although there is no connection to previous shootings, this
event has reopened old wounds
for residents in the area who were
afflicted by the Isla Vista incident.

Following a rant posted on

Elliot went on a shooting spree in
Isla Vista. He killed 6 people and
injured 14 others. That was a year
ago. But history repeated itself
with another shooting that took
place in Santa Barbara this past
May 11th.
This shooting, which was less
harmful, involved two perpetrators, Jose Gutierrez and James
Taylor, both of whom are allegedly gang members.
ACLU (cont.)
some listener. (Saxe v. State Coll.

Area Sch. Dist.). The ACLU continued with: The mere fact that
expressive activity causes hurt
feelings, offense, or resentment
does not render the expression
unprotected. (Sypniewski v. Warren Hills Regl Bd. Of Educ.).
As for messages involving
race, etc., the ACLU argued that
the term [r]acial, misogynistic,
anti-sematic [sic], inciting hate is
an unlawful restriction on speech
by itself. Under 48907, a school
may not prohibit student speech
simply because it presents controversial ideas and opponents of the
speech are likely to cause disruption. (Smith v. Novate Unified Sch.
Dist.).
The Supreme Court has held
time and again, both within and
outside of the school context,
that the mere fact that someone
might take offense at the content
of speech is not sufficient justifi-
cation for prohibiting it. (Saxe)

The March 25th letter concludes that [t]o the extent LJHS
has concerns about the mere
content of speech on the bulletin
board, it may respond with its
own speech or advocacy rather
than the blunt instrument of unlawful censorship We appreciate your prompt attention to the
matters raised in this letter, in the
hope of avoiding litigation that
would otherwise be necessary
to enforce the right to engage in
speech protected by California
and federal law.
When no response was apparently given by either Dr. Podhorsky or the SDUSD, the ACLU
sent the April 27th letter, which
was addressed to the SDUSDs
General Counsel and specifically made two requests. First, we
would appreciate an investigation
by your office and/or other appropriate District staff into whether
LJHS officials are improperly removing postings from the student bulletin board. Given the
history of free speech problems at
LJHS, we believe such an investigation is appropriate.
The ACLU also made a California Public Records Act request
for video camera footage from
12:00 AM on Monday, April 20
to 11:59 PM on Friday, April 24,
which covers a week-long time
frame when many student posters were removed from the FSSB
during the instructional day before LJHS WASC Accreditation
visit on April 22. Hi-Tide records
show these posters were dated
4/16 and 4/17, and should not
have been taken down until 4/30
and 5/1.
The ACLUs involvement in
free speech at LJHS stems from
a 2011 lawsuit. In February 2010,
the LJHS Persian Club utilized
the schools senior benches,
which are typically spray-painted with birthday messages and
prom proposals, by painting the
Police Crisis (cont.)

different story. Other protesters

have questioned why mass media
coverage came only when the riots
had started, and not when Freddie
Gray initially died.
In a polarizing piece titled
Why Everyone in Baltimore
Hates the Media, Gawker reporter Andy Cush attempted to justify
the riots and explain the rioters
outburst, writing, A few days of
chaos in the streets is a pittance
compared to a few generations of
poverty and violence at the hands
of the state.
As of now, the six police officers have been charged with the
death of Gray, which has been
called a homicide.
Questions have been raised
over the speed at which the prosecutors pressed charges, and
whether the switchblade Gray
was carrying was in compliance
with state law. Attorney William
Murphy told CNN that Gray had
a pocket knife of legal size.
According a CNN.com story
from April 29, There were more
than 20 criminal court cases in
Maryland against Gray, and five
of those cases were still active at
the time of his death. The cases involve mostly drug-related charges,
but there are charges from March
for second-degree assault and destruction of property.
Questions about use of reasonable force by police have been
raised near San Diego as well.
On April 9 in San Bernardino,
eleven police officers pursued and
beat a man riding a stolen horse.
The suspect, Francis Jared Pusok of Apple Valley, allegedly fled
by car when police arrived at his
house with a search warrant for an
identity theft investigation.
When police next located Pusok, he was riding a horse he was
suspected of having stolen. When
he was thrown by the animal, officers deployed a Taser, which they
claimed was ineffective because of
Pusoks loose clothing.
The full encounter was captured on video by the helicopter of
a local NBC affiliate, whose analysis determined that two officers
immediately delivered a punch to
the head and a knee to the groin.
Sheriff s deputies continued to
rush the scene, with the officers

surrounding Pusok swelling to
eleven men.
KNBCs reporting concluded
that the officers had kicked him
17 times, punched him 37 times,
and struck him with batons four
times, with thirteen of those
blows appearing to be taken to
the head.
Although several deputies received medical attention, Pusok
did not. After the attack concluded, Pusok remained unmoving for
45 minutes.
Pusok had previously been
convicted for resisting arrest, animal cruelty, disturbing the peace,
attempted robbery, and failure to
provide evidence of financial responsibility.
Many argued that the Taser
should have been enough to subdue Pusok for arrest. His mother, Anne Clemenson, stated, He
didnt deserve something like that.
To tase him, the beatings that I see
them doing to him - its uncalled
for. You see him lying down, and
they continue to kick him, hitting
him and punching him. Why?
The officers involved were immediately suspended. San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner
John McMahon said, The video
surrounding this arrest is disturbing and I have ordered an internal
investigation be conducted immediately.
On April 21, Pusok reached a
$650,000 settlement with San Bernardino County lawyers. With
this situation behind us, we can
move forward with protecting our
residents and ensuring that local
[law] enforcement is responsive,
effective and restrained, County
Supervisor Curt Hagman said.
With at least 65% of Americans
owning smartphones, citizens
have become more empowered to
record police activity or become
catalysts for change. Many of the
Baltimore riots involving high
school students were organized
via Snapchat with references to
the blockbuster Purge films.
If citizen-police violence continues to increase, Americans will
be watching to see if a major restructuring of police operations is
necessary.
words Freedom for Iran.

After LJHS administrators, in
the words of the ACLU, whitewashed the benches, students
Yumehiko Hoshijima and Wilson
Mokiao painted another message
on the benches, Freedom for Iran
and LJHS.
When that message was also
painted over by administrators,
Hoshijima filed suit in San Diego
Superior Court for violation of the
First Amendment. Hoshijima was
represented by David Loy of the
ACLU and Jean-Paul Jassy of the
Bostwick & Jassy law firm.
At the time, former principal
Dana Shelburne told the La Jolla
Light, Those benches are to carry
positive, school-related messages birthdays, athletic events,
dances If its negative: We
paint it out. If it doesnt pertain
to school or school functions: We
paint it out.
The suit was settled over a year
later in February 2012, leading to
the creation of the current Free
Speech Policy in LJHS student
planners. This is a major victory

for not only La Jolla High School
students, but for all students
throughout the district, Loy said
at the time. This updated free
speech policy will allow students
across San Diego to exercise their
free speech rights, unfettered by
administrative censorship.
Now, both Messrs. Loy and
Jassy have returned to the site of
the Hoshijima v. Shelburne case,
with Dr. Podhorsky now holding
the reins.
Jassy, a class of 1992 LJHS
graduate, said in 2012, It riled
me to see my alma mater turn its
back on the First Amendment
While students (at LJHS) understood the meaning of free speech,
sadly, the administration needed
to be educated in what our First
Amendment actually means.

Twinsters
By Yenitzia Lopez
Features Editor Elect
Anais Bordier and Samantha Futerman were both born

on November 19, 1987, in Busan, South Korea, and were
both adopted by separate families. Anais is now a designer
raised in Paris, France, while
Samantha is an American actress and director who was
raised in New Jersey. The two
have been separated by 5,000
miles for 25 years and neither
of them had a clue that the
other existed.
And then that changed.
It was weird, but I feel like
there was a strange calm, and
comfort as well, and something
that I can't really explain, Futerman said to dailymail.co.uk.
We talked for three hours.
The two first met over the
Internet in 2013. Anais was
watching one of Samanthas
Youtube videos and noticed

that she looked and sounded
exactly like her.
After looking further into
Samanthas whereabouts, such
as her occupation, her date of
birth, etc., Anais approached
Samantha by sending her a
message on Facebook explaining how she, too, was born on
the same day in Busan, South
Korea.
The two planned a one hour
Skype call, which quickly
turned into three hours, in order to further get to know each
other. They then formally met
in London and then again in
Los Angeles.
At the start of the adventure, the two started a campaign with Kickstarter to raise
funds to produce a documentary entailing their journey of
discovering whether they were
twins or not.
The documentary, titled
Is Music Losing its Meaning?

By Shane Lynch
Staff Writer
There was a time when
music was about the message,
about conveying passion and
ideas in an intelligent and poetic way through meaningful
lyrics. These days, however, it
seems that the soul in music
has been replaced with a desire
to make songs with catchy and
simplistic beats with ignorant
and lazy lyrics. This is a bit of
a sweeping generalization, as
there are still plenty of bands
out there who make quality
music with thoughtful lyrics; though in the case of the
most popular bands and those
which appear on radio stations
these days, it would seem that
writing songs with catchy lyrics rather than meaningful
ones has essentially become
the norm.
This seems to be most evident in todays pop music and
hip hop, which seem to favor
commercial appeal over hav-
ing an actual message. Lyrics

in todays music can be plain
trashy, as well as promoting
misogynistic ideas and youthful entitlement. There was a
time when hip hop actually
meant something, and chronicled the struggles of growing
up in an impoverished environment while surrounded by
crime. These days, the majority
of hip hop seems to glamorize
a lifestyle of excess achieved by
making money through music, and promotes having a self
righteous and greedy persona.
Despite this, there are still
some artists in different genres
who value good songwriting
these days, including The Foo
Fighters, Mac Demarco, Kid
Cudi, and Slightly Stoopid, to
name a few.
Bad music has existed in
every decade, and it will be
interesting to see if this trend
of trashy lyrics will become
the norm for future artists or
if there will be a return to the
days of quality songwriting.
Twinsters, was released on

March 15, 2015, at the SXSW
Film Festival. Exactly one year
and one DNA test later, the
two were confirmed to indeed
be identical twin sisters. They
now speak on the phone everyday and have co-written a
book titled Separated @ Birth:
A True Love Story of Twin Sisters Reunited.
For Christmas, Futerman
got necklaces that say Best
Friends Forever for her and
her sister.
It sounds really cheesy,
but I think we need those little kid's moments and those
cheesy moments together,
Bordier said.
Futerman described finding her sister like that feeling
on Christmas when you open
up the presents, the one you
were asking for, it's that pure
feeling of joy - that's how I always feel.

Hollywood and
Superhero Movies
By Andrea Albanez
Everyone enjoys watching
a good movie. From thrillers
to comedies, everyone has a
movie genre that they love
above all others.
The superhero genre has
gained a lot of traction with
audiences worldwide since the
introduction of the concept
of the superhuman. From the
return of Marvel to the revival
of classics like Superman, the
popularity of superhero movies is at an all time high. With
their concepts of escapism and
fantasy, its no wonder how
great an effect the superhero
genre has had on movies.
Many people enjoy superhero movies because of the
powerless they sometimes see

in their own lives is answered
by power on screen. And then
there are the cool special effects: web-slinging, flying,
smashing, and Batmans gear.
Right now, Avengers: Age of
Ultron is in theaters, already
earning millions, and the next
anticipated superhero movie,
Batman v Superman: Dawn of
Justice, is expected to be a major hit. Other great superhero
movies that people enjoy include Spiderman, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, X-Men,
Hellboy, Watchmen... there are
really too many to list.
For all of these movies, the
different superheros have their
plots, superpower, and villains
that make each and every superhero movie unique, mak-
ing millions obsessed with the

movies.
Superhero movies have
also gotten a lot of attention
from how Hollywood portrays
them. A hit superhero movie
has special effects, actors, and
advertisement that turn the
movie from being just another hero movie to a worldwide
phenomenon. The revival of
the Marvel and X-Men series
have only increased due to the
buildup that Hollywood has
given them.
The era of the superhero is
here to stay. The genre of superhero movies is only getting
bigger with more original superheros being created to feed
the demand of the increasing
popularity of the resurgence of
comic book classics.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron

By Andrea Albanez and

Opinions Editor Elect & Sports

The Avengers: Age of Ultron is
the sequel to the highly praised
Marvel movie The Avengers. In
this film, the team is back in
action, fighting against a villain of Tony Starks own creation, Ultron.
This sequel to The Avengers
fulfilled the expectations of
many superhero enthusiasts,
Marvel and Avengers lovers,

and your average moviegoer.
Filled with intense action, each
fight scene throughout the film
had its own unique sequences
and timing that made them
more enticing as the movie went on. It also provided a
good amount of comic relief
that had the audience rolling
with laughter.
The balance between the
physical fighting and the emotional sides of all the characters
made the movie have an equal
Hi-Tide
amount of action and emotion

that made the movie enjoyable
the entire time. Being a lover
of the Avengers and of superheroes, this film was the perfect sequel to a fantastic first
film and a great buildup to the
next film in the series. I would
give this movie an 8/10 rating.
Action-packed with humor,
great effects, and memorable
moments from all of the characters, it is one movie everyone should see before school
gets out.

Scar Tissue: The Hardship and

Triumph of Anthony Kiedis
By Shane Lynch
Staff Writer
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are considered one of the
greatest rock bands of all time
and have been making music
for over three decades now.
Their original blend of funk,
punk, rock and rap was truly
revolutionary for its time and
remains unique today. All this
success would not have been
possible without the resilience
and passion of its members,
most notably singer and front
man Anthony Kiedis.
Keidis was born in Michigan in 1962 to Margaret Noble and John Dammett, both
actors, and moved to Hollywood in 1974 to live with his
now-divorced father full-time.
Kiedis attended Fairfax High
School, where he met Michael
Balzary, aka Flea, and the two
became inseparable. "We were
drawn to each other by the
forces of mischief and love. We
were both social outcasts."
Through Flea, Keidis started to become interested in music, especially punk. The two
of them frequently snuck into
venues on the Sunset Strip,
and on one such occasion met
Hillel Slovak, who became the
third founding member of the

Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The band gained notoriety
for their wild stage antics and
released their first two albums
in 1984 and 1985. Both were
well received. Kiedis, however, developed a dependence on
heroin at this time, which affected his ability to contribute
to the band.
Hillel had also begun using
heroin and OD'd after a week of
drug abuse. The news was too
much for Kiedis, who fled to
Mexico. After weeks of hiding,
Kiedis returned to LA to face
the reality of his friend's death.
He also checked himself into rehab.
Kiedis and Flea eventually
regrouped and invited drummer Chad Smith and guitarist
John Frusciante into the band.
This newfound unity and stability allowed the Chili Peppers
to release Blood, Sugar, Sex,

Magik in 1992, which propelled the band into stardom.
John left the band but rejoined several years later,
replacing Dave Navarro. Inspired by his return, the Chili
Peppers released Californication, By The Way, and
Stadium Arcadium, all of
which are considered among
the bands finest work.
Kiedis has gained a great
deal of wisdom from his experiences. Fame is destructive with all that I have
witnessed and endured, I
have come to realize that it
is the love of others and life
and music and your ability to
overcome that brings you true
fulfillment.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were recently inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame.

The Progression
of Punk
By Mary Dentz
Staff Writer
The word punk can mean
many different things to an array of people. Some describe it
as a music genre. Others see it
as a way of life, their style, or a
rebellious movement to overthrow their suppressive adversaries. Whatever your view
may be, one cannot deny that
there is most certainly an avid
punk community right here in
San Diego.
Punk started in the late 70s
thanks to British groups like
The Clash, The Sex Pistols,
and American bands such as
The Ramones and Black Flag.
Punk revolved around straying
from the common gradient of
society. It was meant to help
people find themselves and to
inspire people to do whatever
made them happy.
Next came a kind of thrashing called New Wave Punk.
Bands like Devo, The B-52s,
The Cure, The Talking Heads,
and many others helped to
develop Punk music from its
rough-edged beginnings to
a more palatable and deeper
version, the New Wave Era.

The rise of pop-punk, folk

punk (like Andrew Jackson
Jihad), funk and disco (like
the critically acclaimed group,
Daft Punk), indie-rock, garage
punk, and even Death-Metal
can all find a little bit of their
ancestry originating from the
Punk movement.

San Diego has had a couple

of punk-like bands born from
its bowels. Grand Ole Party,
a group formed of San Diego
residents, debuted their first
album, Humanimals, in 2007.
The band, Neveready, was
also formed here in San Diego. Some of its members even
went to La Jolla High.
Punk has influenced many
different genres of music and
artists and whether you care
to recognize its importance or
not, it is a portal to individualism, freedom, and acceptance.

No Longer Hiding
Bruce Jenner Decides to Share with the World his Life Long Struggle
By Vivi Bonomie
News Editor Elect
The media has recently
been hit with a frenzy of rumors surrounding the story of
Bruce Jenner. People appear
to be surprised that after winning a decathlon, becoming
the face of Wheaties, having
three wives and six children,
Jenner has decided to undergo the transition to become a
woman. Speculation had been
surrounding the gold-medalist
after his recent divorce with renowned Momager Kris Kardashian, which was finalized
March 23, 2015. The couple had

been separated for two years.
On April 24, 2015, Jenner
agreed to do an interview with
Diane Sawyer where all questions would be answered. Up
until this point, a preferred pronoun had not yet been openly
expressed, but that night, Jenner told Diane, For all intents
and purposes, I am a woman.
He explained that his whole life
was a constant struggle between
accepting who he was and who
he wanted to be.
As a child, Jenner admitted
to dressing in womens clothing
but, as he got older, it was some-
thing that he continued to do.

Many people ask, how did he
keep cross-dressing a secret
from his wives? Jenner says
...its hard enough

that theyve lived a
whole lifetime hiding
who they truly are,
without the whole
world judging them
for it
that it was treated as more of
a habit than a way of life.
The difficulty for many
people who grew up with Jenner as an image of the ideal

manly man is the difference
between sex and gender. While
Jenner may have the anatomy
of a male, he identifies his gender as female, which means
in the ever-evolving world of
gender politics, he is a woman.
In the interview, Jenner
said, I look at it this way:
Bruce was always telling a lie.
Hes lived a lie his whole life
about who he is. And I cant
do that any longer. My brain
is much more female than it
is male. Its hard for people
to understand that, but thats
what my soul is.

Jenners life has been on display since long before Keeping up with the Kardashians
became a hit, and while it is
difficult for some people to
understand how a 65-year-old
man is becoming a woman,
others would say that what is
more important is that Jenner
receives the support and respect he deserves during this
transition. This latter group
would say that its hard enough
that hes lived a whole lifetime
hiding who he truly is and
does not now the whole world
judging him for it.
