‘Jane Elliott Against The World’ Is A Lesson In Unlearning Prejudice / DOC NYC

The 17th edition of DOC NYC includes in its line-up an extraordinary cinematic account that defies racism. Jane Elliott Against The World, directed by Judd Ehrlich, retraces how in the morning following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968, Jane Elliott, then a third-grade teacher in the small town of Riceville, Iowa, devised an exercise that would change the course of her life. Facing an all-white classroom, she divided her pupils according to eye colour, treating one group as superior and the other as inferior. By creating a miniature version of a discriminatory society within the classroom, she wanted her students to experience first-hand the mechanisms and emotional consequences of racism. What began as an unconventional teaching exercise soon became one of the most influential and controversial educational experiments in modern American history, turning an unknown schoolteacher into a national figure and a lifelong activist. Nearly sixty years later, at the age of 92, Jane Elliott remains as outspoken, uncompromising and combative as ever.

GOP Sheriff Chad Bianco's wife starts nonprofit after dire night for Republicans

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco’s wife is launching a new 501(c)(4) nonprofit to energize statewide conservatives as California Republicans cast blame and jockey for leadership in the wake of a national and statewide blue wave election. Denise Bianco, who has never held office but who helped fundraise through merchandise sales during her husband’s gubernatorial campaign, will serve as president of the California Action Network. “Legally speaking,” the sheriff will have no role in the new organization, according to the group’s chief operating officer, Jack Belgrade. Still, the sheriff is set to appear at an upcoming event focused on the nonprofit. It will aim to build on the enthusiasm of grassroots supporters who backed Bianco during his fourth-place finish in the June primary, according to the group’s vice president, Joy Miedecke. “The name ‘Bianco’ is very important in this because people have faith in him,” she said in an interview. Belgrade said the group will use some strategies popularized by progressives — including third-party ballot collection and a strategy called relational organizing — to mobilize California conservatives. That includes a new app set to launch in January in which conservative voters can nudge people in their contact lists to vote through

Remembering Ysmael Villegas, Riverside County’s First Medal of Honor Recipient

This Veterans Day, let’s remember Riverside County’s first Medal of Honor recipient, Ysmael Villegas. Staff Sgt. Villegas showed extraordinary courage during the Battle of Luzon in the Philippines, a crucial battle in the Pacific theater of World War II. On March 20, 1945, Villegas took out a series of Japanese entrenchments in the midst of a firefight on the Villa Verde Trail, a key route through the Caraballo Mountains, a range which helped the occupying Japanese maintain control over the island. Villegas died that day while storming the sixth and final Japanese stronghold. His compatriots rallied to overcome the Japanese forces that day and would soon take control of Luzon. Later that year, President Harry Truman awarded Villegas the Medal of Honor posthumously.

OC residents whose homes were damaged in Norte Fire describe hurdles after filing insurance claims

Three weeks after the Norte Fire damaged or destroyed seven homes in Orange County, some residents whose homes remain standing say they are facing serious smoke damage and insurance challenges as they try to return home. Among them is San Juan Capistrano resident Cyndi Dudek, who evacuated her neighborhood as the fast-moving fire approached. “It was very frightening,” Dudek said. Dudek had moved into her home in August. Two months later, on October 16, the fire reached her neighborhood. She said conditions deteriorated rapidly as she evacuated. “From the time I went from my front door just to my car, we were gasping. The smoke was in our face,” she said. Although homes one block away were destroyed, Dudek's home remained standing. Still, she said the property suffered extensive smoke damage. “We lost the habitability,” Dudek said. She said a strong odor remains throughout the home and that ash continues to cover nearly everything inside. Dudek said she is especially concerned because her husband has compromised lungs. An expected lawsuit alleges the destructive Norte Fire in Orange County was caused by a San Diego Gas & Electric equipment failure. The couple filed a claim with the California FAIR Plan, the
