STARTS
STARTS RIGHT NOW. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR IN THE MAKING IT ONE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL. FINALLY
CHANGE IS IMMINENT. GOOD
EVENING AND THANKS FOR JOINING
US. I'M MARCELLA IN PROBABLLY
AHAED. I'M CARLA CHIQUITOS.
SEVERAL STUDENTS AT JUNIPERO
SERRA HIGH SCHOOL IN
TIERRASANTA WERE SUCCESSFUL IN
THEIR EFFORT TO CHANGE THE
SCHOOL'S NAME. THE SAN DIEGO
UNIFIED SCHOOL BOARD APPROVED
CHANGING THE JUNIPERO SERRA
CONQUISTADORES TO THE NEW
CANYON HILLS RATTLERS NEWS8
FELICIA SUMMERS REPORTS. TWO
OF THE STUDENTS BEHIND THE
SOCIAL MOVEMENT TELL ME HOW
THEY WERE SUCCESSFULLY ABLE TO
GET THE SCHOOL BOARD
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE CHANGE
DURING THE SUMMER THERE WERE A
LOT OF MOVEMENTS FOR RACIAL
EQUALITY AND WE DECIDED THAT,
YOU KNOW, IT'S A PERFECT TIME
TO USE THE MOMENTUM FROM THAT
THAT MOMENTUM AND SUPPORT FROM
THE COMMUNITY HELPED IN GETTING
JUNIPERO SERRA HIGH SCHOOL IN
TIERRASANTA RENAMED CANYON
HILLS HIGH SCHOOL. I GUESS A
LOT OF PEOPLE WANTED A NAME
THAT'S MORE INCLUSIVE OF JUST
THE THE BIOME THAT IT'S IN LIKE
THE ECOSYSTEM. THE CHANGE CAME
ABOUT AFTER THREE STUDENTS
INCLUDING ANNIE DOE AND
CHARLOTTE TAYLOR PETITIONED THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT TO REBRAND
THEIR SCHOOL SAYING THE 18TH
CENTURY MISSIONARY SARA WAS
CRUEL TO THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
AND A CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE
TODAY AND NOT REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE COMMUNITY. THE SCHOOL IS
A PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL THAT IS
OPEN TO STUDENTS OF ALL
RELIGIONS AND FOR THAT IT'S
INAPPROPRIATE TO HAVE US NAMED
AFTER A CANONIZED CATHOLIC
SAINT BECAUSE WE ARE NOT A
CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL. THE
SCHOOL'S MASCOT, A CONQUISTADOR
WILL BE CHANGED TO A
RATTLESNAKE DOE AND TAYLOR SAY
WE SHOULD NOT BE GLORIFYING
SPANISH CONQUISTADORS WHO
KILLED MANY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
TRYING TO CONQUER THEIR LANDS.
THEY OBVIOUSLY BROUGHT A LOT
OF DISEASE TO THE NATIVE
AMERICANS AND THEY ENSLAVED
FORCING THEM TO WORK IN MINES
FOR THE SPANIARDS AND YOU KNOW,
LIKE SARA, THEY WERE VERY
HURTFUL TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS
AFTER NINE MONTHS OF TAKING
POLLS FROM THE COMMUNITY,
STUDENTS AND STAFF, THE SCHOOL
BOARD SAN DIEGO UNIFIED
UNANIMOUSLY DECIDED TO SUPPORT
THE CHANGE ON TUESDAY. THOSE
AGAINST THE REBRANDING SAY THE
NAME AND MASCOT WERE PART
OF HISTORY AND SCHOOL MEMORIES
OVER THE PAST FORTY FIVE YEARS
.PEOPLE DON'T WANT THINGS TO
CHANGE. THE PRINCIPAL SAYS THE
DECISION WASN'T TAKEN LIGHTLY
AND THIS DOESN'T MEAN HISTORY
WILL BE ERASED. IT WILL STILL
BE HONORED BUT IN A DIFFERENT
WAY. WE HAVE AN ALUMNI ROOM
WHICH IS A VERY BIG ROOM WHICH
WILL BE TURNING KIND OF INCUE
EVEN MORE SO A LEGACY ROOM. WE
HAVE PICTURES FROM EVERY
GRADUATING CLASS THAT'S IN
THERE. WE HAVE PICTURES
OF GRADUATES WE HAVE LIKE
CANDIDS THAT ALUMNI HAVE PUT
TOGETHER LIKE MONTAGES THAT ARE
IN THERE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
LIKE THROWBACK THURSDAYS
BROWNINGS OLD THE OLD SCHOOL
COLORS BROWN AND GOLD WILL NOW
BE BLACK AND READ THE SCHOOL
PLANS ON HAVING THE REBRANDING
DONE BY FALL OF TWENTY TWENTY
ONE KARLO AND MARSELLA THANKS
ALICIA. WE'RE HEARING TONIGHT
FROM A FATHER INVOLVED IN A
CONTROVERSIAL TRAFFIC STOP THIS
WEEK WHERE SOME ARE ACCUSING AN
OFFICER OF POINTING A GUN AT A
NINE YEAR OLD BOY. POLICE HAVE
STATED THAT WAS NOT WHAT
HAPPENED AND THE DEPARTMENT
RELEASED BODY CAM FOOTAGE IN AN
EFFORT TO SHOW THEIR POINT
OF VIEW. NEWS8 HEATHER HOPE HAS
THE UPDATE. SAN DIEGO POLICE
STATED IT RELEASED A BODY
CAMERA FOOTAGE TO PROMOTE
CLARITY AND TRUST. BUT THE MORE
SOME PEOPLE HAVE VIEWED IT,
SOME HAVE SAID IT'S HAD THE
OPPOSITE EFFECT. BUT JUST PUT
YOUR HANDS UP FOR US, ALL
RIGHT? SANDAG POLICE RELEASED
THIS BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE
SHOWING A HIGH RISK VEHICLE
TRAFFIC STOP FROM TUESDAY
AFTERNOON WHERE AN SDPD
MOTORCYCLE OFFICER SAYS HE
TRIED TO PULL OVER THE DRIVER
GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR AND A
40 MILES PER HOUR ZONE ON PARK
BOULEVARD IN HILLCREST.
DAD DRIVING REALLY, REALLY FAST
AFTER NOT STOPPING WITH
EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND A SIREN ON
THE OFFICER CALLED BACKUP AND
THIS HAPPENED THAT HIS EIGHT
LET'S COME OVER TO US. ALL
RIGHT. YOU'RE GOOD BUT YOU SAW
THE GUN DRAWN DURING THE
TRAFFIC STOP AND THE BOY'S
DIRECTION SPARKED OUTRAGE ON
SOCIAL MEDIA. THE DRIVER AND
FATHER ANTHONY FULLER WROTE ON
INSTAGRAM I NEVER WANTED ANY
OF MY CHILDREN TO GO THROUGH
THIS. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE
FEAR MY SON FELT NO CHILD
SHOULD GO THROUGH THIS EVER.
I'M GLAD MY SON IS OK AND ALIVE
AFTER POLICE POSTED THE FOOTAGE
ONLINE IT GOT COMMENTARY FROM
ALL SIDES FROM COMMENTS LIKE
THANKS SDPD FOR QUICK
TRANSPARENCY AND TAKING THE
TIME TO EXPLAIN TO THE JUVENILE
WHAT WAS DONE WRONG TO YOU GUYS
.ARE GROWN MEN POINTING A GUN
AT A CHILD PROTESTERS TOOK TO
DOWNTOWN LAST NIGHT AND
DEMONSTRATED IN FRONT OF SDPD
HEADQUARTERS. SOME FELT A
WEAPON DRAWN WAS A HIGH
ESCALATION FOR A TRAFFIC STOP
PULLING A GUN CHILD IS THIS
ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, LIKE THIS
HORRIBLE POLICE SAY THAT THEY
RELEASED THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE
DUE TO MISINFORMATION SAYING
SOME HAVE SPECULATED THAT THE
OFFICER IS POINTING HIS GUN AT
THE EIGHT YEAR OLD BOY BUT THE
OFFICER'S BODY WORN CAMERA
SHOWS THAT AT NO TIME THAT WAS
THE CASE ANOTHER OFFICER LED
THE BOY DOWN THE STREET TO
EXPLAIN THE SITUATION SO WE
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND
THAT'S WHY WE HAD TO PULL OUT
THE GUNS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
ANTHONY FULLER WAS ISSUED A
MISDEMEANOR CITATION FOR
RECKLESS DRIVING WHICH WAS WHY
HIS CAR WAS IMPOUNDED. BUT
FULLER HAS SINCE GOTTEN IT BACK
AND NOW HAS AN ATTORNEY WRITING
I APPRECIATE EVERYONE CHECKING
ON MY SON. WE'RE TAKING THIS
HEAD ON HEATHER HOPE NEWS8
