SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINIANS.

>> THEY SAY THEY ARE HOLDING PEOPLE HOSTAGE AND TO DATE MOST 20,000 PALESTINIANS HAVE DIED IN THE WAR.

>>> WE ARE TRACKING A WARMING TREND AND ALSO CHANCES FOR THE WIND TO PICK UP AS WELL AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK THE NEXT CHANCE FOR PARTICIPATION -- PRECIPITATION AND WIND THE WIND WILL WEAKEN.

>>> CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY IS HOLDING CULTURAL BELONGINGS AND UNBURIED ANSWERS OF NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES AND WE LOOKED AT RECENT STEPS TO RETURN THEM.

>> WE ARE STILL TRYING TO REBUILD HER NATIONS FROM THE GENOCIDE THAT HAPPEN TO OUR PEOPLE AND IT IS HARD WHEN WE KNOW THE SPIRITS OF OUR ANCESTORS ARE LOCKED ON SHELVES.

>> Reporter: HE IS CHAIRMAN OF THE TRIBES SPEAKING ABOUT AN AUDIT THAT FOUND CSU HAD ALMOST 700,000 CULTURAL BELONGINGS AND ALMOST 6000 UNBURIED ANCESTORS AND HAD ONLY RETURNED 6% OF THEM EVEN THOUGH FEDERAL LAW FOLLOWED THE RETURN PROCESS BACK IN 1990.

>> WE SEE ARE PEOPLE SITTING LIKE A BOOK IN THE LIBRARY WAITING TO COME HOME AND IT IS HEARTBREAKING.

TRUCK THE DIRECTOR OF TRIBAL RELATIONS SAID WE DON'T YET KNOW WHAT ALL THE BELONGINGS ARE OR WHICH TRIBE THEY BELONG TO OR EVEN WHERE THEY ARE STORED.

>> THEY WILL LOOK EVERYWHERE, SADLY FROM BOOKSHELVES TO CLOSETS TO CABINETS TO FIND WHERE THE COLLECTIONS ARE.

>> THEY FOUND THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM HAS AND PRIORITIZE THIS AND LEGISLATORS ARE NOW REQUIRING THEM TO APPOINT COMMUNITIES -- COMMITTEES AND A FULL-TIME STAFF PERSON TO OVERSEE THIS EVER -- EFFORT AND THIS IS A BEGINNING OF A VERY LONG PROCESS.

AND POTTER SAID OVERDUE.

>> LIKE MOSES SAID TO THE PHARAOHS I SAY TO THE USC, LET MY PEOPLE GO.

>>> PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS OPENING A TEMPORARY FACILITY AFTER A DEVASTATING FIRE THIS PAST SUMMER AND WE REPORTED ON THIS BACK IN AUGUST AND THE CLINIC WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND WAS THE SOLE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE CENTER IN THE AREA AND THE TEMPORARY FACILITY WILL DELIVER A FULL RANGE OF SERVICES INCLUDING CANCER SCREENINGS, BIRTH CONTROL, TESTING AND ABORTION.

>>> THE DEBATE OVER WHETHER SCHOOLS SHOULD DISCLOSE THE CHILD'S TRANSGENDER IDENTITY TO PARENTS IS SPARKING A HEATED DISCUSSION AT SCHOOL BOARDS AND LEGAL BATTLES.

WE EXPLORE THE LEGAL CLASH BETWEEN PARENTAL RIGHTS AND A CHILD'S PRIVACY.

>> STUDENTS ALSO HAVE RIGHTS AND VOICES AND STUDENTS MATTER.

>> Reporter: AT THE BOARD MEETING LAST MONTH HERE THE ISSUE OF PARENTAL RIGHTS WAS HOTLY DEBATED.

>> DID YOU RATHER HAVE A LIVING SON OR A DEAD DAUGHTER?

>> Reporter: SOME PARENTS WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE PRIVACY TO FEEL SAFE AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES AT SCHOOL.

>> SUCH ACTIONS WOULD VIOLATE THE DIGNITY OF THEM.

>> Reporter: OTHERS WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THEIR CHILDREN.

>> YOU ARE REQUIRING TEACHERS DELIGHT APPEARANCE.

>> Reporter: SIMILAR TO OTHER DISTRICTS THEY ADHERE TO A POLICY THAT BARS TEACHERS FROM REVEALING AN IDENTITY TO PARENTS WITHOUT CONSENT ALIGNING WITH CALIFORNIA LAWS PROTECTING STUDENTS FROM POTENTIAL ABUSIVE SITUATIONS AT HOME BUT SUCH POLICIES ARE UNDER ATTACK THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND RECENTLY THE CLASSICAL ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL SYSTEM CHANGED ITS POLICY TO NO LONGER EXPLICITLY FORBID TEACHERS FROM DISCLOSING A GENDER IDENTITY OF A STUDENT AND THEY SAID THEY DID SO UNDER THREAT OF LITIGATION.

>> IT ULTIMATELY IS ABOUT WHO REALLY THE CHILD BELONGS TO.

>> Reporter: HE IS A CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER WHOSE WIFE TEACHES THAT CLASSICAL AND HE SAID HE MERELY SENT A LETTER TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM TO INFORM THE BOARD THAT THE POLICY WOULD EXPOSE IT TO POTENTIAL LITIGATION AND IT IS PART OF THE CONSERVATIVE CENTER FOR LAWN POLICY THAT URGED THE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IN ORANGE COUNTY TO ADOPT ITS MANDATORY GENDER IDENTITY DISCLOSURE POLICY EARLIER THIS YEAR.

>> IT HAS BEEN OUR POSITION THAT ANY POLICY THAT ALLOWS A SCHOOL TO KEEP SECRETS FROM THE PARENTS REGARDING THEIR CHILDREN VIOLATES PARENTAL RIGHTS PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION.

>> Reporter: THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THE 14th AMENDMENT GIVES DEFERENCE TO PARENTS REGARDING CHILDREN'S UP RINGING, EDUCATION AND CARE BUT UNDER CALIFORNIA'S EDUCATIONAL CODE, STUDENTS HAVE PRIVACY RIGHTS.

>> THE CRUX OF THE ISSUE IS WHAT IS MORE SUPERIOR, THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY OF THE CHILD OR A PARENTS RIGHT TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR CHILD'S LIFE.

>> Reporter: THIS FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY SAID WITH THE RULING IN 2020 IT IS HARD TO FATHOM THAT A STUDENTS PRIVACY RIGHTS WOULD BE UPHELD AND THE DODDS RULING OVERTURNED ROE V. WADE WHICH HELP PROTECT THE RIGHT TO HAVE AN ABORTION IN UNITED STATES AND THE CRUX OF THAT CASE CENTERED ON A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

>> BUT THEY DIDN'T APPLY STRICT SCRUTINY TO THAT PRIVACY RIGHT, WHICH IS THE RIGHT TO HAVE AN ABORTION AND YOUR ABILITY TO HAVE A CHILD AND HAVE A SAY IN HOW THAT HAPPENS.

>> Reporter: SINCE THE RULING LAWS IN CASES BY CONSERVATIVE GROUPS HAVE EMERGED CHALLENGING POLICIES PROTECTING STUDENTS PRIVACY AND IN MAY 2 TEACHERS IN THE ESCONDIDO UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT SUED LEHMAN THE POLICY TO PROTECT STUDENTS RIGHTS TO PRIVACY AT SCHOOL OVER THE GENDER IDENTITY ESSENTIALLY FORCED THEM DELIGHT APPEARANCE WHICH WENT AGAINST THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND THEY SAY THE TIMING ISN'T COINCIDENTAL.

>> THERE'S STRATEGY IN THIS.

THERE ARE A LOT OF POLITICALLY AFFILIATED GROUPS THAT HAVE INTEREST ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS ARGUMENT.

AND I CAN SEE IT FROM BOTH SIDES.

APPARENT MYSELF, I CAN SEE IT FROM A STUDENTS PRIVACY RIGHT.

>> Reporter: THIS IS ON THE PART OF THE THOMAS MORE SOCIETY, A CONSERVATIVE LAW FIRM INVOLVED OVER LAWSUITS OVER ABORTION, RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND THE OUTCOME OF THE 2020 ELECTION.

IN SEPTEMBER A JUDGE ISSUED A PRELIMINARY RULING AGAINST THE ESCONDIDO UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT SAYING THE POLICY IS LIKELY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

THE DECISION IS UNDER REVIEW AND THEY THINK THE ISSUE WILL ULTIMATELY BE DECIDED BY THE SUPREME COURT AND BASED ON THE CURRENT MAKEUP OF THE COURT SHE THINKS THE OPPONENTS OF PARENTAL RIGHTS MAY WIN AND IT COULD CAUSE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.

>> HOW DO WE ON THAT CONTINUUM OF THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN TO A CHILD WITH IN A SCHOOL SYSTEM DURING THE DAY, WHAT IS REPORTED AND WHAT IS NOT?

>> Reporter: SHE SAID IT MAY LEAD TO PARENTS MICROMANAGING THE SYSTEM AND DICTATING THE CURRICULUM TAUGHT AND EXCLUDING ANYTHING THEY FIND DISAGREEABLE AND CAUGHT IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF THIS POLITICAL DEBATE ARE THE STUDENTS, WHO MAY NOT FEEL SAFE EXPRESSING THE GENDER IDENTITY AT HOME.

TESLA HAS MARKETED THEIR VEHICLES WILLING TO BUY A LITTLE EXTRA FOR THE CAR TO DO THE DRIVING FOR THEM.

>> Reporter: TESLA IS LAUNCHING A MASSIVE RECALL TO UPDATE THE AUTOPILOT FEATURE IN MILLIONS OF CARS TO MAKE SURE DRIVERS ARE ATTENTIVE AS THEY USE IT.

>> THIS IS A BIG DEAL BECAUSE 2 MILLION CARS, IT IMPACTS THE MOST EVERY TESLA ON THE ROAD.

>> Reporter: THE SAFETY ADMINISTRATION SAID THE POPULAR AUTOPILOT FEATURE COULD GIVE DRIVERS A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AND BE EASILY MISUSED IN CERTAIN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHERE THE TECHNOLOGY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY NAVIGATE THE ROAD.

>> IT CAN STEER AND ACCELERATE AND BREAK AUTOMATICALLY IN ITS LEHMAN THE HIGHWAYS BUT IT CAN'T DRIVE ITSELF.

>> Reporter: TESLA SAID IT WILL UPDATE WIRELESSLY AND ONCE IT IS UPDATED, THEY WILL RECEIVE MORE WARNINGS WHEN THEY ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ROAD OR THE AUTO STEER FUNCTION IS TURNED ON.

>> THE FIXES INCLUDE VISUAL ALERTS AND SIMPLIFIED CONTROLS AND OTHER CHECKS TO MAKE SURE THE DRIVER KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON.

>> Reporter: THE CARS CAN DISENGAGE THE AUTO STEER FEATURE WHEN THE SOFTWARE DETERMINES THE DRIVER ISN'T PAYING ATTENTION AND THE EDITOR- IN-CHIEF OF INSIDE EV SAID IS IMPORTANT FOR DRIVERS TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES AND UNDERSTAND LIMITATIONS OF THE TECHNOLOGY.

>> I THINK BE WILLING AND READY TO STEP IN AND TAKE THE WHEEL BECAUSE THESE CARS CAN'T YET DRIVE THEMSELVES.

>> Reporter: THEY SAY IN THE MANUAL THAT IT IS USING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WITH A FULLY ATTENTIVE DRIVER BUT THE COMPANY HAS PUSHED THE IDEA THAT THIS FEATURE ALLOWS CARS TO SAFELY MAKE A MAJORITY OF THOSE DECISIONS EVEN WHEN AWAY FROM THOSE ROADS.

>> IT WILL AUTOLOAD THE ADDRESS BUT CHECK IT AND MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECT AND YOU CAN DROP IN WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.

>> Reporter: THE TAXI BUSINESS IN SAN DIEGO HAS GONE THROUGH MANY CHANGES AND TURMOIL AND NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE COMPETITION FROM RIDESHARE.

PRIOR TO 2014 THERE WAS A CAP ON PERMITS FOR TAXIS WHICH CREATED A BLACK MARKET FOR THE PERMITS AND GOLD MEDALLIONS WERE TRADING FOR $160,000 EACH AND UNITED TAXI WORKERS FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR SAID THERE DRIVERS TODAY ARE SELF-EMPLOYED AND THERE IS NO LONGER A CAP ON HOW MANY DRIVERS CAN WORK IN THE BUSINESS.

>> WE ARE CALLED INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS.

WE ARE NOW SELF-EMPLOYED BECAUSE WHEN WE GET THE PERMIT NOW I AM SELF-EMPLOYED EVEN WITH A CITY PERMIT AND USED TO BE 3000 AND NOW IT'S $1600.

>> Reporter: HE SAID JOINING THE RANKS OF COMPANIES THAT HAVE A RIDE HAILING APPS REFLECTS THE WAY CUSTOMERS GET RIDES NOWADAYS AND PEOPLE DON'T EXPECT THAT THE COLEY DISPATCHER ON THE PHONE.

>> NONE OF THOSE MECHANISMS OF HOW PEOPLE DEVELOP HABITS OF GETTING RIDES BUT PULLING OUT YOUR PHONE AND LOOKING TO SEE ABOUT GETTING AN ESTIMATE FOR RIDE AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE PROVIDING.

>> Reporter: TAXI DRIVERS PROMOTE THEMSELVES SAYING THEIR BUSINESSES REGULATED LOCALLY AND NOT STATEWIDE AND NO SURGE OF PRICING DURING RUSH HOUR AND ALSO THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE FAIRS THE COMPANY PAYS GOES TO THE DRIVER AND 94% ACCORDING TO HUSSEIN.

>> IS A TECHNOLOGY FEE APPROVED BY THE CITY.
