To commemorate #StudentPressFreedomDay, here’s a thread of the best stories I put together for @SPLC when I was reporting for them on high school and college press censorship around the country.
One of my favorite stories to write included @nehamira14, whose experiences were later covered in a @nytimes story. One of my last days of my @SPLC internship, I was assigned to write about a censorship situation at a high school in Texas. splc.org/2018/05/prospe…
The principle at the school had banned editorials and fired award-winning journalism adviser, @loglesbee. The story garnered a ton of follow up coverage, including a @dallasnews article. Eventually, the school changed their policy.
Then, @nytimes did this: nyti.ms/2IIoh8i
One of my other favorite stories involved me interviewing half a dozen or so student journalists who had written about sexual assault at their schools and another half a dozen experts. What came out of it was my first long form story: splc.org/2018/05/barrie…
And finally, a podcast episode I did on a scandal that happened at @HowardU, and how the student journalists covered it: splc.org/2018/05/june-2…

CA Advocates for Nursing Home Reform has filed a civil rights complaint against the SF Dept. of Pub Health "for its discriminatory policy that prevents disabled residents of long term care facilities from having any form of in-person visits regardless of their relative safety."
Basically, the SFDPH has told long term care facilities for weeks that they're gonna change their policy surrounding visitation... but an attorney for CANHR says the department has been dragging their feet, according to an email I obtained.
"You told me the visitation order was being reworked and its release was imminent," CANHR Attorney Anthony Chicotel said in an email today to SF's deputy city attorney Glenn Levy. "Then weeks go by with nothing but silence."

Scoop by me: A suspected neo-Nazi based in Sacramento who was the subject of a July 24 @HuffPost article has been under investigation for about three weeks by the county sheriff’s department.

jweekly.com/2020/07/27/sus…
The sheriff’s dept. filed a gun-violence restraining order against Casarez on July 13 and seized a handgun from his home two days later, police told me. Officers filed the GVRO after Casarez was publicly exposed a week prior in a blog post.
“Sheriff’s detectives had concerns after [Casarez] was doxed and his identifying information was released publicly that he could feel forced to react and/or carry out acts of violence based on his ideology,” Sgt. Teresa Deterding said.

Will be covering San Francisco’s “Day of Rage” protests in response to Israel’s planned annexation of part of the West Bank.

The protest, which is a car caravan because of Covid, has about 180 attendees on Facebook.
Clyde Leland, a former @usfca law professor and member of @jvplive, said he thinks Israel’s planned annexation puts a “death knell” on any possible peace solutions.
There are also counter protests to “Day of Rage” - @StandWithUs and Voice for Israel are organizing truck ads like these: ImageImageImage
