Brock Turner was forced to leave California. His life is ruined because this crime is on public records In addition to that he did get a jail sentence. Persky should not have been recalled.

Jennie Richardson: the word “historical” does not mean what you think it means.

Ms. Zellers, your information is inaccurate on several counts. 1) Monta Loma for instance, no regular permanent classrooms were demolished, and, as you suggest as good policy, the Multi Use Room was expanded. The 60 year old 'dual' classrooms are being significantly renovated (not demolished). 2) "Build new schools" is happening at two sites - on Whisman (Vargas) and Taft Street (to accommodate Castro & new Mistral). Both new schools are sized to fully accommodate 450 elementary students in permanent structures.

The original 2010 Plan was to demolish 72 permanent classrooms, then rebuild them. Less than a dozen were demolished in the painful revisiting/readjustment of that 2010 Plan.

There is a rush to finish most of this over summer - but it has been in planning and design for 3-4 years.

In response to john brown you said:

“Brock Turner was forced to leave California. His life is ruined because this crime is on public records In addition to that he did get a jail sentence.”

He was not an innocent person. You seem to argue that he was “unfairly” treated. He was given a generous gift regarding such a lack of a sentence. Simply put “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time”

NO ONE MUST HAVE ANY MERCY ON THAT CRIMINAL.

You said:

“Persky should not have been recalled.”

That is your opinion, but the voters ruled otherwise. He was tried by the voters and found guilty.

@ the busy man

Most the voters in the north of the county voted no on the recall. These voters have been exposed to Michele Daubers tactics for a long time. I was actually surprised by the numbers. It was the voters in the south of the County that did him in.

Even Chemerinsky Condemns Stanford Law Prof Michele Dauber

"UC Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky is the left coast version of Harvard’s Larry Tribe, sans the candlelit dinner with Louise Mensch. There isn’t a progressive cause he won’t embrace. Until now, and for that, one is constrained to wonder: How utterly awful must something be for it to be too far over the line for Chemerinsky?"

The “something” is Stanford law professor Michele Dauber’s war against Judge Aaron Persky.

""The effort to recall Judge Aaron Persky, which has submitted signatures to be on the ballot in Santa Clara County in June, is misguided and a threat to judicial independence. If there is disagreement with a judge’s decision, the appropriate remedy is to appeal the ruling, not to seek removal of the judge.

Such recall efforts are a serious threat to judicial independence as judges will fear that unpopular rulings will cost them their jobs. Justice, and all of us, will suffer when judges base their decisions on what will satisfy the voters.""
