         <title>Public opinion around Camp Unity (Asia)</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This summer, the Sf Chronicle published an article describing what happens at Camp Unity. As someone who had never attended Camp Unity (and who has friends who are good at keeping secrets) I found the methods used surprising, to say the least. From the article, it seems that there is opposition and support in the community to the program. It would be interesting to review the experiences of people who attended, some positive, some negative. Furthermore, this story could be improved with gathering statistics about the topic. One more historical relevance to this story is that in Verde's first, issue, we wrote about Camp Unity and its origins. Furthermore, one more community tie to this event would be the third wave experiment in Cubberley and the Verde story that we once wrote about it. <a href="http://palyjournalismarchive.pausd.org/cgi-bin/paloalto?a=d&amp;d=VERDE19991001-01&amp;e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-------">http://palyjournalismarchive.pausd.org/cgi-bin/paloalto?a=d&amp;d=VERDE19991001-01&amp;e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-------</a><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>First-ever Paly Gender Studies class (Ashley H)</title>
         <author></author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/kh33660/features/wish/273409205</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>For the first time in Paly history (or at least the 21st century), enough students signed up for Gender Studies to turn it into a class! Why is this happening now? With #MeToo and 2018 labelled as the year of the woman, how much do current events play a part? Also, some studies find that teaching gender studies in middle school reduces future sexual harassment. Not sure how they measured that, but it's definitely food for thought and an interesting angle.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
