Breaking: The Los Angeles school district is poised to back down from enforcement of its Jan. 10 student COVID-19 vaccine mandate. latimes.com/california/sto…
The district is confronted with more than 30,000 students 12 and older who are not fully vaccinated and would otherwise be barred from campus. latimes.com/california/sto…
Under a proposal from interim Supt. Megan Reilly, enforcement of the January deadline would be suspended until fall of 2022, the start of the next school year. latimes.com/california/sto…
While the mandate has probably resulted in thousands of students being inoculated, the district also was faced with the reality of tens of thousands student being unable to attend class in person. latimes.com/california/sto…
Unvaccinated students would have been forcibly transferred to an independent study program, called City of Angels, that has struggled since the start of the year. latimes.com/california/sto…
The Board of Education will make a final decision at its Tuesday board meeting.

But a Friday morning alert from Interim Supt. Megan Reilly suggested that the change of plans is all but official.

When Torrance police officers saw Black people in their city in the 1990s, they had two special phrases to describe them, according to a federal lawsuit.

Thread 👇
latimes.com/california/sto…
A pair of acronyms — “NIT” & “NITAD” — both used a racial slur to note that a Black person was either “in Torrance” or “in Torrance after dark,” according to the testimony of former Torrance police officers contained in U.S. Department of Justice filings.

In the wake of a Times investigation revealing the details of years of racist and homophobic texts sent by more than a dozen Torrance police officers, some L.A. County residents have noted that Torrance has been accused of widespread racism before.

“President Biden is making the same mistake President Obama made in his first term: catering to xenophobes while performing compassion toward immigrants.

“The strategy lays out the red carpet for Trumpism 2.0,” writes @jeanguerre for @latimesopinion. latimes.com/opinion/story/…
“Either Democrats dramatically reinvent the immigration debate in defense of multiracial democracy, or they reinforce white paranoia and accelerate our descent into white nationalism. They can’t have it both ways.”
“No matter what Biden does, Republicans will attack his policies as ‘open borders.’ No matter how few people make it to the U.S., Fox News will send cameras to conjure a border apocalypse.”

“The conservative court on Friday has severely undermined federal judicial supremacy and put all of our constitutional rights in jeopardy,” writes Erwin Chemerinsky for @latimesopinion. latimes.com/opinion/story/…
“Although the court ruled that some Texas officials can be sued to block the antiabortion statute, it also made clear how states can nullify federal constitutional rights through the use of the Texas scheme.”
“The quirk of the Texas ban is that enforcement is done by private citizens suing doctors and those who aid or abet an abortion for $10,000 per violation.”

A former nurse at Scripps Memorial Hospital showed columnist @Davidlaz screenshots of the facility’s electronic health record system.

The screenshots show price hikes ranging from 575% to 675% being automatically generated by the hospital’s software. latimes.com/business/story…
For example, one screenshot shows the basic “cost per unit” for stitches at $19.30.

But the system said the “computed charge per unit” was $149.58.

The system helpfully included a formula for reaching this amount: "$149.58 = $19.30 + ($19.30 x 675%).” latimes.com/business/story…
“Scripps’ automated system took the actual cost of sutures, imposed an apparently preset 675% markup and produced a billed amount that was orders of magnitude higher than the true price,” @Davidlaz writes. latimes.com/business/story…

“I don’t think I should skip any steps.” Olivia Rodrigo is excited to finally mount her first tour behind #Sour.

Why she’s playing theaters rather than going straight into the arenas she likely could fill latimes.com/entertainment-…
Rodrigo’s capping her breakout year with seven Grammy nominations, including nods in the four major categories. She’s the 13th person in Grammys history to score all four nominations in the same year latimes.com/entertainment-…
Rodrigo started singing and writing songs before she hit double digits, and soon she was giving up gymnastics to belt adult-size ballads at little-kid talent shows. At 13 she was cast on Disney Channel’s “Bizaardvark,” and among her co-stars was Jake Paul. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Sergio Ayala was studying to become a barber. He hoped to start a college savings fund for his four kids.

In January, that dream was cut short. He died from COVID-19 at age 37. latimes.com/california/sto…
In California, younger Latinos are dying of COVID-19 at much higher rates than their white and Asian counterparts.

Younger Black people also are dying at high rates, but the disparity is starkest for Latinos.
As more people get vaccinated, pandemic restrictions lift and the economy rebounds, the families of the young Latinos who died will feel the loss for decades to come — not just the grief but the long-term financial hardships.
