The Berkeley High boys golf team played its third match in as many days on Wednesday afternoon, participating in the 18-hole San Francisco Tournament held at Sharp Park Golf Course in Pacifica. Though the difficulty of the course caused the Yellowjackets to tack five strokes onto their total 18-hole score from Monday’s tournament, the final score of 440 was good enough to place BHS in the middle of the pack – at 15th out of 26 teams. -more-

Despite my desire to believe that I live in a community that is diverse in its culture and would not tolerate any form of racism, my desire and belief have been daunted with the constant reminder that it is still “us” against “them.” I have become over the last three years increasingly aware of the underlining and subtle racism that exists in the Berkeley community. Whether or not anyone will or can admit to it also frightens me. With the passage of Prop. 21 and the new State Mandated Retention Policy, it is obvious that the entire State of California down to the Berkeley Unified School District has an agenda that is NOT to benefit the children of color. -more-
