“So it was that on Wednesday, senators voted unanimously that, henceforth, both male and female senators will be permitted to bring infants up to age one into the chamber. In an institution where a fair number of members are in their 80s, this was a monumental change, hardly as simple as it might seem.

First, Ms. Klobuchar said, there were the discussions over whether the Senate floor would turn into some kind of nursery.

“But what if there are 10 babies on the floor of the Senate?” Senator Orrin G. Hatch, 84, Republican of Utah, asked, according to The Associated Press. Replied Ms. Klobuchar: “That would be wonderful and a delight.” ... See MoreSee Less

We'd like to share this message from the SLO Coastal Teachers Association regarding April 20: National Day of Action Against Gun Violence in Schools

"We must stand together to send a strong message to policy makers that #enoughisenough
SLCTA is encouraging all teachers to wear orange on Friday in support of the National Day of Action Against Gun Violence in Schools.

On April 20, CTA and NEA will participate in the National Day of Action Against Gun Violence in Schools. Our schools and communities must all send the same message to our elected leaders: We can no longer tolerate inaction.

Schools should be the safest place a child can be. Unfortunately, that seems far from reality these days. From Columbine to Virginia Tech to Sandy Hook to Marshall County to Parkland, Florida, it’s abundantly clear we are not doing enough to protect our students and schools from gun violence.

This reality is devastating. Our hearts may be breaking, but our resolve must be strong. We must demand action now to save lives from gun violence. We must stand together to send a strong message to policy makers that #enoughisenough." ... See MoreSee Less

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Latest on two men arrested at Philadelphia Starbucks (all times local): 12:20 p.m. Philadelphia's police commissioner is apolog

Two of MacDougall's own posters were slashed through with an X. One said, "I am an unafraid educator! As a professor/instructor I work with an for undocumented students and families at Cal Poly-SLO."
The other was a photo of a woman in an American flag hijab, with the message: "We the people are greater than fear."
"That I found even more disturbing because, you know, there's this undertone of violence to that act," MacDougall said.
He called the police but they didn't show up, he said, and he was advised to just take the fliers down.
He said the university's weak response, which he believes is more focused on damage control rather than solving underlying issues, reinforces that this behavior is OK.
"A lot of the response is this kind of crisis response that we see corporations do: 'What do we say to not make the things worse,' " MacDougall said. "We have to be honest with each other about what has happened." ... See MoreSee Less
