Mark Felt, former Associate Director of FBI. Larry talks with Bryce Nelson, Professor of journalism at USC’s Annenberg School of Journalism, and Ed Guthman, Professor of Journalism, at USC's Annenberg School of Communication about this breaking story.
LAUSD Drafts District-Wide Student Discipline Policy
Misbehave in one school, and you get detention. Misbehave in another, and you might get expelled. The LAUSD Board has directed schools to develop a unified policy so every student in the LAUSD will get the same discipline for serious infractions of school rules. Larry speaks with Marlene Canter, Vice President of the Board of Education and Rowena LaGrossa, Superintendent of Local District 4 of the LAUSD, about these rule changes.

What’s causing this shift? Larry talks to Sebastian Rotella, LA Times Paris Bureau chief, Dennis Bark, a Europe specialist at the Hoover Institution at Stanford who returned from France on Saturday, and Charles A.
