Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:31:26 GMT

cod Dozens of parents came out for the Redlands Unified School Board Meeting Tuesday night to call attention to what they claim are decades of child sexual abuse in the school system.  Many of the parents said teachers and school administrators have covered up the allegations and are now demanding transparency and action. Renewed concerns about potential sexually predatory teachers within Redlands Unified follows a CBS News investigation from earlier this month.  Tuesday night’s school board meeting is the first since the report was broadcast.  “It’s outrageous and they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen,” Redlands resident and parent Melissa Castro said.  The crowd attending the meeting was too large to fit inside the school board’s meeting room, leaving many people to watch the deliberations from a monitor in the parking lot.  “We need to clean up the whole Redlands School Board and get people in ther...

Talk to Blanke

Talk to Blanke: Genre-bending producer Blanke started his “DJing journey” in his hometown of Canberra, Australia.“A friend of mine at the time showed me some software that could blend songs together and I just thought that was the coolest thing ever,” he says. “Honestly, I still get such a rush when two songs mix or blend together so seamlessly that they were almost meant to be together!

Next thing was figuring out how to produce. As a musician my whole life growing up playing Guitar, and being in a family of creatives, it felt like a na...
