Nag: The Myth of ‘Parent Rights’

Oregon lawmakers made an active effort to listen to and protect student voices after the efforts to ban books in Canby and across the state. SB 1583 was introduced as a common-sense bill that would protect students from discriminatory censorship and book bans within educational settings, prohibiting censorship based on race, sex, gender identity, religion and other identity-based factors.

Senator Lew Frederick (D-Portland) introduced the bill hoping to minimize the legal arguments that can be made for book bans. 

In an interview with OPB, he said, “What we’re really dealing with is people trying to discriminate. And if we can point out that that’s not allowed, then we can move along and, frankly, get past all of the culture war nonsense that’s been involved in this.” 

According to PEN America, book bans rose by nearly 900 instances within the 2022-2023 school year compared to the previous year. In one instance, a textbook omitted references to race when discussing Rosa Parks’ contributions to the Civil Rights movement to win widespread approval from Florida school officials. 

In Oregon alone, 93 books were challenged on the grounds of removal from public and school libraries, the highest ever recorded. 

The bill would also specifically block school boards and other school officials from removing books due to the content of the books, with many school boards facing growing challenges on this front from “Parents’ rights” groups. 

The Senate passed the bill along a 17-12 margin, but the bill died in the Oregon House. 

Although SB 1583 received considerable attention from civil rights organizations, youth rights groups and BIPOC organizations, it faced equal opposition from right-wing organizations focused on preserving parental control over educational content. 

Monica Carroll submitted written testimony against the bill, writing, “I oppose this bill, we do not want more racist and LGBTQ information shoved into the faces of our kids.” 

It is important to note that this bill would not force people to read any material, and parents can still control the educational material of their own children if they wish, but they can not control it for other people’s children.

This rhetoric of adding more diverse voices was mentioned throughout the opposing statements, however, it’s important to note that these stories have historically existed but have been excluded from educational spaces, and by adding these resources for students, it simply creates an accurate representation of media. 

The main complaint noted through the spoken and written testimonies was the lack of influence parents had over the educational curriculum provided by the school and the school’s push for an alleged political agenda through the curriculum — a point that was taken and spread among many Republicans to go against material that spread positive portrayals of minority voices. 

The argument for parent rights, however, has never been used to promote educational material that is more reflective of the student body, although many parents want to see that in the school system. This exact point shows a split, creating a reactionary group opposing a democratic educational system and banning stories and narratives.  

The myth of “Parent rights” undermines the validity of a student’s right, which has historically been undervalued. A student has the right to the First Amendment, which protects material from government censorship over books, magazines and newspapers, no matter what fringe groups of parents might argue for. 

Trevor Hoagland submitted testimony against this bill on behalf of parents, stating, “I oppose this as it is authoritarian.” 

Ironically, this proves the importance of banning book bans and keeping the fundamentals of the Constitution alive within the schools because, arguably, banning the narratives that threaten your perspective of life is nothing short of an authoritarian attack.

New EMBRACE Center funds studies on dementia care

Faculty members from the University of Minnesota and other Midwest and East Coast universities received a grant to fund studies on dementia intervention, according to a Sept. 16 press release from the School of Public Health.

The EMBRACE Center is led by researchers across the country, including School of Public Health professor Joseph Gaugler. The center is funding studies about interventions in dementia care and why they work.

The Center received a $5.8 million grant from the National Institute on Aging to fund the studies, according to the press release.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, around 6.9 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s dementia. The disease became America’s sixth leading cause of death in 2019.

Intervention care is a program that improves the health and quality of life for a person with dementia and their caregivers, Gaugler said. Implementing interventions into treatment can be expensive and difficult.

“(Interventions are) often so unwieldy, it’s so complex, it requires so much training, it’s so costly,” Gaugler said. “That makes it very, very hard for home and community-based settings or other organizations to adopt those interventions and integrate them into their everyday practice.”

Gaugler said understanding why interventions work will open doors for those with dementia and their caregivers.

“If you know how or why an intervention works, what essential elements are, then when one tries to scale an intervention, make it fit into a given cultural context, organizational context, changes can be made where you still keep the essence of the intervention,” Gaugler said.

Gaugler said maintaining why the intervention works and how it works allows other changes around that to be more palatable. He added it still allows the intervention to benefit the people it was meant to.

The EMBRACE Center is already funding two studies, one by University professor Manka Nkimbeng, and another from a professor at Johns Hopkins University.

Nkimbeng said her study will delve into the health and well-being of caregivers in Black and African American communities around the U.S.

African American communities, including Black immigrants, are typically diagnosed with dementia later than white people, Nkimbeng said. This makes it harder for caregivers to adequately attend to their family member with dementia as they have limited access to different services. 

“Our work is really taking account that the care partners of this group have limited access to services, and then also the care partners of this group typically prefer to provide care for their relatives,” Nkimbeng said. “So our intervention is taking those things into account. How do we ensure that they are taking care of themselves as well as they provide care for the relative dimension?”

Laura Gitlin, co-investigator of the EMBRACE Center and professor at Drexel University, said the center will provide support for researchers beyond funding, such as webinars and consultations, to help keep the projects on track.

As the studies progress, Gitlin said the goal is to determine what parts of different interventions work so they are easy to implement in the home and in memory care facilities.

“This is all about intervention science and doing the best interventions that can maximize impact and be sustained,” Gitlin said. “Meaning it can be continued and embedded in sites and service settings and be sustained after the conclusion of a study.”

Giltin said interventions can be costly, another reason they are difficult to implement.

“Some interventions are complex and have different components to them,” Gitlin said. “We don’t know if all those components are necessary. They drive up costs when an agency tries to implement them.”

Understanding how the interventions work is integral to memory care, Gitlin said.

“If we understand that, then it can hopefully lead to adoption of those interventions by different healthcare settings, community-based settings because they would know what’s most critical to replicate,” Gitlin said.

The EMBRACE Center is one of the first memory care research centers allowing for collaboration across institutions in the country, Gitlin said.

“The investigators are working in very high, different, diverse groups, geographically, regionally, race, ethnically, language, language-wise, need-wise,” Gitlin said. “So it really brings great heterogeneity and diversity to understanding dementia care and what are the preferred approaches and benefits for different communities.”

UMSG addresses dining hall concerns and new clubs on the rise

The University of Maine Student Government (UMSG) met for their weekly meeting on Oct. 8 in the Bangor Room of the Memorial Union. The meeting was conducted by UMSG President Keegan Tripp and Vice President Memphis Peterson. 

Club Maintenance: 

Men’s Club Basketball (MCB) sought preliminary recognition. This club will meet twice a week and their location is to be determined. Plans for advertising include an Instagram page and posted flyers around campus. League fees are expected to be $1000 annually. This will be a tryout-based league, depending on how competitive the numbers are. The vote to grant the club preliminary recognition passed unanimously. 

The president of the Maine Society of Microbiology (MSM) also sought preliminary recognition from UMSG. Some events the club offers for its members are “paint with E. coli night” and tours of local labs. They are also planning a “pathogen clue night.” Roughly ten people currently attend the meetings, but the club is looking to expand.

Guest Speaker:

UMaine General Manager of Sodexo Matthew Legault, spoke as the guest speaker at the UMSG meeting. He was accompanied by Executive Director of Auxiliary Enterprises Richard Young. Legault and Young started their speech singing the praises of UMaine’s dining experience with Sodexo. They noted the growing number of Kiwibots and Hilltop Dining renovations. These renovations will include a “you-cook” station and a Simply Zone, which will supply hot and cold food for individuals with different food allergens that are not currently represented on the dining hall menu. 

Some concerns brought up by UMSG members included the price hike in food at the Bear’s Den and the portion size. Legault addressed these concerns by noting, “The goal is not to skimp, but to be consistent.” It was also noted that the goal is to keep the prices of campus dining in line with outside competitors such as Aroma Joes, Dunkin Donuts and Pat’s Pizza. 

Legault and Young ended their discussion with UMSG by encouraging them and the whole student body to fill out the surveys using the QR codes at the dining halls and to reach out via email with any additional concerns. 

Matthew Legault: matthew.legault@sodexo.com 

Richard Young: ryoung@maine.edu  

Executive Reports: 

Tripp provided a brief report at the meeting. He touched on conversations he had this past week concerning funding for the upcoming Lewiston vigil, and the conversation he had about parking with Young. 

Peterson spoke about scheduling meetings after fall break with UMSG senators to make sure everyone is fulfilling their requirements for their position and that they have the resources they need to do so. 

“Anti-hazing is a non-partisan and non-profit program, but if anyone is interested in this issue contact me,” said Peterson. 

New Business 

An act to allocate funds for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AICHE) was brought to the attention of UMSG. The funds requested are to go towards the AICHE 2024 National Conference fees. This conference offers many networking and job opportunities for chemical engineer majors at UMaine. With a clear majority, the request for funding passed.

Model UN / INT affairs association requested funding for the University of Pennsylvania Model UN Conference. This conference helps develop club members’ speech and writing ability while discussing foreign affairs. After a lengthy debate amongst UMSG members, the request passed for $1,120 in funding. 

UMSG meetings are held every Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Bangor Room of the Memorial Union for those who wish to attend. The meetings are also recorded and posted here for viewing.

The Isaac Wilson Era Officially Begins for Utah Football

 

Entering the 2024 season, Utah Football looked to be set at the quarterback position for the present and the future. With Cam Rising returning for another year after being granted a medical redshirt and highly touted recruit Isaac Wilson coming in, the Utes were in a prime position to continue their historic tradition of great quarterbacks.

The ideal scenario for the Utes was to have Wilson sit and learn behind Rising for the entire year and showcase the talented freshman starting in 2025. Obviously, due to unforeseen circumstances, Wilson was thrown into the fire early for a 2024 Utah team that was widely regarded as the best team in the Big 12.

With the lack of experience that Wilson had in the Andy Ludwig system coming in, the first few games saw plenty of growing pains. Despite some freshman mistakes that derailed the offense at times, Wilson became more and more comfortable each week and looked poised to take over the team for the remainder of the year.

Coming off the bye week and heading into a hostile environment at Arizona State, however, Rising was deemed healthy enough to play coming off of a hand injury that had sidelined him for a month. Early on in the outing, Rising took an awkward fall, bending backwards and putting an extraordinary amount of weight on his right leg, subsequently limiting his mobility. Rising would finish out the game, but after further tests, was ruled out for the remainder of the season on Monday afternoon. The first half of the season saw speculation each week about who would be the starter for Utah, but with another injury to Rising, it is now time for Wilson to take over at the helm of the offense.

What We’ve Seen

Through 5 games this season, Wilson has shown the ability to hit tight windows and make plays with his legs, but he has struggled mightily taking care of the ball. With 830 yards, 6 passing touchdowns and 7 interceptions, Wilson will need to acclimate himself to the offense in order to reach his very high ceiling.

At just 18 years old, Wilson has done an incredible job controlling the offense and keeping Utah competitive in every game this year, but it is evident that he is going to need some time to adjust to the speed of collegiate football. Coming in and starting as a true freshman less than a year removed from high school football is unbelievably difficult, especially considering Wilson was unaware if he was going to start or not going into the first couple weeks of the year.

Now that Wilson has been named the starter and knows that he has been given the keys to the offense, the rest of the season should look much more polished than the previous few starts.

What to Expect

The final six games of the regular season see Utah facing two teams ranked in the top 15 and a road matchup vs. a very solid Colorado team. Wilson will have his hands full with some talented defensives down the stretch, but these experiences should be massive for his progression headed into next season.

Although Wilson is young, he still has multiple starts under his belt, and that should be a huge confidence booster, especially considering the offense will now be geared to his specific skill set. I expect to see massive leaps in Wilson’s ability to read defenses as he becomes acclimated to the offense, and that will eventually translate to this offense coming together.

Expect Ludwig to open up the playbook specifically in the red zone now that Utah has lost twice and is playing with not much to lose. The free-flowing offense that Utah is used to playing over the years has been nonexistent this year with the constant changes in personnel, but I expect things to start coming together as Wilson gains confidence.

Outlook

Despite the injury struggles over the past two seasons, Rising has taken this program to new heights, winning back-to-back Pac-12 championships and solidifying himself as one of the all-time Utah greats. Unfortunately for the Utah faithful, they did not get to see Rising finish his final season for the Utes, but the memories he provided in the past have all but made up for it.

Rising deserves all of the praise and respect in the world for what he has done for this program, and I am sure throughout the remainder of this season, he will get Wilson prepared to take over and continue the tradition of greatness here at Utah.

UMN professor’s feature film to sweep Main Cinema with emotion

University of Minnesota professor Lynn Lukkas will show her first feature film, “Claire Facing North” at The Main Cinema on Oct. 29. 

The showing is part of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival’s “MN Made” film series. The film stars Barbra Berlovitz, a veteran theater artist and co-founder of the Tony Award-winning Theatre de la Jeune Lune, as Claire, and Annick Dall as Iris. After the showing, there will be a conversation with Lukkas.

“Claire Facing North” is set in Iceland, and follows Claire, a woman in her 70s, seeking to heal past wounds and spread her daughter’s ashes. Her journey is disrupted by Iris, a woman who reminds Claire of her younger self as well as her daughter. 

“It’s really about their relationship, and how they sort of reveal each other through the relationship,” Lukkas said. 

The film is saturated with emotion, Lukkas said. Iris is a lost soul and estranged from family, while Claire is mourning the loss of her daughter. Age and landscape play roles as vast as the land in Iceland in this 76-minute-long film. 

“The landscape functions as a metaphor for healing and also as a metaphor for place,” Lukkas said. 

The desolate landscape of Iceland reflects Claire’s journey of self-discovery, Lukkas said. The film is a road movie, a genre where the main characters leave home, travel and have adventures along the way. Lukkas and her team navigated through all of Iceland and filmed from location to location. 

Eric Schleicher, the cinematographer, worked closely with Lukkas on her vision for the film. Lukkas wanted viewers to feel the emotions of the characters through the camera shots. 

“She wanted it to feel like you, as the camera, are a participant in everything that happens,” Schleicher said. “It should have an energy to it.”  

The film is laden with wide views and drone shots. Schleicher said the landscape of Iceland is barren and matches Claire’s longing for something. 

“In Claire’s journey, Iceland is a special place,” Schleicher said. “To place her in the middle of this empty landscape: It’s beautiful, but there is a blue sadness to it all.”

As for age, the exact age of both characters remains ambiguous for most of the film’s duration. Dall, the actress who plays Iris, said she enjoyed playing Iris because she masks her true age, and her speech and action show that. 

“She’s not really comfortable in this masquerade, and she doesn’t quite fit the way she talks,” Dall said. 

Berlovitz, who plays Claire, is Dall’s real-life mother-in-law. This made it easier to play characters in an intergenerational relationship because the personal bond was already there, Dall said.

Lukkas said music is also important to the integrity of the film. She worked closely with the composer Phil Aaron, and Lukkas’ husband wrote themes for Iris and Claire. Lukkas had her own ideas for certain themes as well. The music helps the viewers feel immersed in the environment, Lukkas said. 

Lukkas used the voice of a medieval abbess, the female superior of a community of nuns in an abbey, named Hildegard of Bingen. Lukkas also used a piece from Sergei Rachmaninoff’s “Vespers.”

Empathy is one of the main things Lukkas hopes audiences draw from the movie. She hopes older people will be able to empathize with younger people and vice versa. 

Lukkas wanted to do that while highlighting the stories of women. 

“I really wanted to tell stories about women that were substantive that talk about women’s lives, talk about things women experience and go through,” Lukkas said. 

Lukkas was the chair of the department of art at the University for six years. In this position, she put her creative practices on hold. She finally had the time, the determination and the funding to execute her first feature film spring of 2021. 

Only six people worked on this film.

“You can make a large-scale project with a small, very dedicated group of people,” Dall said. “When you watch it, it’s sweeping.”

Tickets are $15 and can be bought online or at the door.

How to practice conflict free co-living

Lily Huynh/The Cougar

Sharing a living space can lead to great adventures and create long-lasting friendships; however, it can also be difficult living with others, due to stress and responsibilities that can create conflict. 

Conflict is bound to spark with being stuck in one area with someone 24/7, so preventing it is key to maintain peace at home and create a positive living situation.

Here are some tips to avoid conflict with your roommate:

Open communication

When first living with anyone, people need to communicate their dislikes, preferences and scheduling to their roommates so they can understand each other’s situations.

Open conversation also promotes creating a comfortable environment. Whether that be moving in with a best friend or a stranger, getting to know someone when living together is crucial.

These conversations will make it easier to confront or avoid a problem when there is trust between two people. Checking in regularly is also efficient for having open conversations. 

Set boundaries 

Living in a space together means shared rent, chores and a wall, but that does not mean people have to share everything. 

Setting boundaries with a roommate will give them a clear understanding of limits and expectations.

Define what personal space means to each other and how to go about using the shared spaces. Create an agreement on how the bathroom, kitchen and living room will be cleaned and maintained. 

This also comes with recognizing emotional boundaries.

Roommates will go through the best and worst days with each other, including seeing each other’s stress and sadness. Knowing how the other person handles their stress is key to avoiding escalated situations. 

Respect differences

Living with someone else can be a shock and can unbalance schedules or customs. 

Introducing respect into the living area can bring neutrality and understanding. 

This can also help sort out flexibility and compromise within problems.

Respecting differences can create win-win outcomes in situations that benefit both parties. 

Differences can also be fun. Being invited to see into another person’s life can open new experiences that would have never been open otherwise. 

This can range from being shown new foods to learning how to ride a motorcycle. 

Be flexible about living styles

Recognize living styles and how they might differ. Things like tidiness levels, quit hours and social needs are examples of routines that are different with every person.

Adjusting a person’s expectations to accommodate both schedules will prevent tension.

By allowing a person’s time to be appreciated will create peaceful understanding. 

Be aware and start conversations that include finding a middle ground on what is most important to the other person.

Home Stretch: Kamry Bailey Talks About the Women’s Volleyball Team


Christian Stringer: Hi and welcome back to Home Stretch, The Daily Utah Chronicle’s sports podcast. My name is Christian and I will be your host. Today Kamry Bailey from the women’s volleyball team will be joining us. Kamry is a senior here at Utah and is an outside hitter and defensive specialist. Hi Kamry, and welcome to the podcast.

Kamry Bailey: Hi. Thank you for having me.

Christian Stringer: Yeah so congratulations on the big win last night against Texas Tech to open up conference play. With that win, the Utes are on a seven-match win streak and are soon to be ranked in the top 25. In your eyes, what has been the key to the team’s success as of late?

Kamry Bailey: Yeah, I honestly just think that our coach talks about this a lot, that it’s just like finding a way. So we’ve had games where we’ve had really good serve receipts. We’ve had games where we’ve had really good out of system attacking but they’re not always on at the same time. And I think with our team especially this year we have such a good group of girls, it’s just trusting each other and trusting that we’re going to be able to find a way to win the match.

Christian Stringer: You brought up how good this group of girls really is. This team actually has 13 players who have returned from last season. How big of an impact does that have on y’all both on the court and in the locker room?

Kamry Bailey: Yeah, honestly, it’s made a huge impact. So last year, we pretty much had close to the same people playing but it didn’t end up being a great year for us. And I think the difference now is we’ve just become so close. So we went to Europe for a couple weeks and just got super close, and now we do a bunch of stuff together outside of volleyball. So I just think forming those relationships has made a huge impact — we really, truly, love, trust and respect each other. And we’ll do anything to help each other and make each other better. And those relationships help on the court all the time because we just know what each other needs at that moment. So yeah, that’s been awesome.

Christian Stringer: Yeah that is awesome. Now I want to bring up the University at Albany match where you finished with 14 digs, four kills and three total blocks. What was it about that match in specific that allowed you to excel in all those areas?

Kamry Bailey: Yeah, let me think about that … so that was a tournament weekend. I honestly just think that it comes down to team preparation. We had a really good scouting report. Our coaches work really hard to give us block lineups and what we should do against specific people. So like defensively I was just in the right spot because we knew what they were gonna do, same with the blocks. And what was the other stat?

Christian Stringer: Fourteen digs and four kills with the three blocks.

Kamry Bailey: Four kills yeah, four kills isn’t a ton of kills. I mainly just ball control outside … but yeah the four kills — probably props to my setter. I honestly don’t really remember that match super well because it was tournament weekend. But yeah, it was a good game overall.

Christian Stringer: Nice. So you did mention defense a lot in there. What exactly goes into the process of scouting a team defensively, and then how do you prepare for opposing teams’ hitters?

Kamry Bailey: Yeah so we just get … personnel film is what it’s called. So we just look at the tendencies of what the hitters do and then we just form a game plan on that. So if they swing line a lot, then we’re gonna have our blockers line up line, and we’re gonna put the defense, like, back row defense, in a position to be able to dig whatever ball they hit the most, and then adjust to other balls. So yeah, that’s a lot of our coaches putting together film for us and scouting report. And we have an amazing defensive coach. She played at Penn State. Her name is Alyssa. she played at Penn State and won four National Championships. And yeah was the Libero, so she definitely knows what she’s doing. So from a defensive technical standpoint, she’s been amazing for this team.

Christian Stringer: So for you personally, what’s been the difference for you this entire season, since it is your last season, how has that affected your approach to some of these matches?

Kamry Bailey: Yeah, so mindset-wise, I don’t want to play pro volleyball, so this is going to be my last little stretch of college athletics. So mindset-wise, for me it’s just making the most of the opportunities that we have. And the girls have made this so much easier. Like we’re so silly and fun, it’s never a dull moment with us. So just having that with a combination of “Let’s make the most of this” has kind of made it fun instead of stressful. When we’re on the court, we’re all honestly just having a lot of fun with each other and that’s made all the difference.

Christian Stringer: So lastly, I just wanted to open it up and ask what the biggest challenge has been for you and your career as a collegiate athlete, and how did you work through that?

Kamry Bailey: Yeah so two come to mind actually. One of them is I have had a couple of knee surgeries. I tore my meniscus, and then I ended up tearing it again, and that has caused a lot of, obviously, issues. I was actually not able to jump for my first two years here, most of my first two years here. But then it started doing well, and I started being able to jump and hit again, which has been super nice. So that was a big challenge. Mostly, the mental aspect of being injured is a big challenge. So there is that, the other thing is just managing the schedule. I chose a pretty hefty major, and I think the biggest lesson that I’ve learned from that is just what and when to let go of things. And that’s been amazing for this season. I literally just learned that lesson. So just learning that maybe sometimes sleep is more important than getting an A-plus-plus on an assignment, or just prioritizing in general has been a big challenge, but it’s definitely … I’ve learned a lot. The character development has been real.

Christian Stringer: That’s awesome. I love to hear it. That’s some great advice right there. And you’re a trooper putting up with those torn meniscuses. Thank you for sharing your thoughts today, and thank you for listening to the Home Stretch, The Daily Utah Chronicle sports podcast. Stay tuned for new episodes coming every other week.
