But Republican Alex Kolodin, an attorney and state lawmaker who previously brought a lawsuit that falsely alleged the 2020 election was stolen from President Donald Trump, is also vying for the office.The race is just the latest manifestation of a yearslong struggle between those who trust the integrity of Arizona elections and those who have cast doubt on it, dating back to conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. The winner of this round will oversee the high-stakes 2028 presidential race in the key swing state.Fontes and Kolodin have run fiery and, at times, ugly campaigns. Both have repeatedly accused each other of lying. Fontes opened a recent debate by announcing his campaign staff had launched a website to fact-check Kolodin throughout the evening. Later, Kolodin repeatedly referred to Fontes as an attorney for the Sinaloa Cartel, a reference to Fontes’ previous work as a federal public defender.But their disdain for each other — and willingness to voice it — is about where their similarities end. Here’s what to know about the candidates and how they would shape the state’s elections.The secretary of state matchup has its roots in the 2020 electionFontes stepped into his position as secretary of state after one term as a top election official in Maricopa County, the state’s most populous voting jurisdiction. There, in his then-little-known position, he presided over the 2020 election — and was unexpectedly launched into the white-hot political spotlight amid efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the results of that year’s presidential contest.Kolodin was one of those allies. Now, he’s a member of the Arizona House, where he’s part of the body’s far-right Freedom Caucus. In the legislature, he has supported bills to ban vote centers, shorten the early voting period, and require voters to recertify their address each election cycle to vote by mail.He also led the charge to put a measure on the November ballot that would require mail voters to provide ID, among other changes to state election law. That proposal has drawn alarm from Democrats and some Republicans who allege it would cripple the state’s culture of mail voting — a claim that Kolodin denies.Kolodin, who did not agree to an interview for this story, has repeatedly said on the campaign trail that voters don’t trust elections. In his contested primary race, he heavily criticized election officials and has described the state’s existing election systems as dysfunctional. But he rejects the “election denier” label — and more recently, he has sought to moderate his image. On the campaign trail, he has noted that several of his election reform bills have passed with bipartisan support, though those largely came out of negotiations around must-pass pieces of legislation. He also has pledged faster election results and dodged questions from journalists on whether he is confident in the results of past elections. And he has attacked Fontes, describing him as overreaching the authority of his office.“Adrian Fontes doesn’t know how to follow the law,” Kolodin said during a televised debate on Sept. 30.But Fontes, who is now fighting efforts by Trump to exercise more federal control over elections, has cast Kolodin as a danger to voting rights in Arizona. He also described his opponent as a crisis maker and a “bona fide, found-guilty-of-lying liar” in a recent interview with Votebeat, a reference to the Arizona State Bar’s admonishment of Kolodin for making evidence-free claims of massive voting fraud in cases he brought after the 2020 election.“It appears as though he despises all institutions and despises all ways that we organize as people,” Fontes said of Kolodin, adding that his opponent had a “let’s just tear it all down” mentality. “That distance from reality is dangerous.”In response, Kolodin told Votebeat that Fontes was “lying to voters because he doesn’t respect them.” He referenced a handful of recent instances in which the courts ordered Fontes to rewrite ballot measure language and an incident in which Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap, a Republican, accused Fontes of withholding lists of federal felons who aren’t allowed on the county’s voter roll. Fontes’ office said that the holdup was the fault of the U.S. Department of Justice, which wasn’t giving it the information in a usable format.“His eagerness to look voters in the face and lie is quite frankly disgusting,” Kolodin said. “Let me be crystal clear: I will never lie to the people of Arizona and I will deliver the most transparent secretary of state’s office in the history of Arizona.”Nuts and bolts: How Fontes and Kolodin would run Arizona’s electionsIn Arizona, local officials are in charge of most day-to-day election and voter registration operations in their counties.But whoever wins the secretary of state post will play a critical role in issuing voluntary guidance to election offices and dictating how voting must be run via the state’s Elections Procedures Manual. They’ll also oversee the state’s voter registration system — called the Arizona Voter Information Database, or AVID — and enjoy a big bully pulpit to suggest election-related changes.If elected to a second term, Fontes said he would fight for money to build and implement a new statewide voter registration database. The state’s contract for AVID, he said, is at the end of its life and the system itself is unwieldy. He said the state needs a system that will allow officials to “more easily make adjustments” as state law shifts.Fontes also hopes to get funding to increase salaries for employees in his office, which he said trail other state agencies and are “kind of embarrassing.”And he intends to again push for the Voters First Act, a series of election changes supported by legislative Democrats. The legislation would require all counties to use vote centers and count early ballots accidentally returned to the wrong jurisdiction, create a new election IT and cybersecurity fund, allow state and county officials to accept privately funded grants supporting elections, and more.Meanwhile, Kolodin has taken aim at Fontes’ revisions to the Election Procedures Manual, which is reissued every two years and has the force of law in Arizona. At a debate last month, he noted that several of Fontes’ changes to the manual were ultimately struck down in court, including a provision that would have allowed state officials to refuse to include a county’s vote in statewide totals if it failed to certify results on time and a ban on offensive speech at polling places.But Fontes defended putting those rules into the manual while speaking with reporters after that debate.“Other courts disagreed on that policy analysis that I had, and that’s it,” he said.At the capitol, Kolodin previously supported legislation to force a statewide return to precinct-style voting, in which voters are assigned to a polling place instead of casting ballots at any vote center in their counties. He has also sponsored bills to require voters to confirm their address each election cycle to vote by mail and prohibit the state attorney general from prosecuting county supervisors who vote against certifying elections — a response to Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes, who charged two supervisors in Cochise County with election interference for delaying the canvass of its election results in 2022.Then, there’s his ballot measure. Kolodin said his Prop. 144 will hasten election results by requiring counties to allow voters to have their ballots counted at polling sites. “We’re going to have election results on election night,” Kolodin said during a debate last month. “That’s what I’m going to deliver for Arizona voters.”Fontes has said that’s an unrealistic promise, pointing to the state’s razor-thin race margins in recent election cycles. He and others are also concerned that the measure’s broad language could unintentionally give the legislature wide leeway over election laws, independent of the governor and judiciary.Where Fontes and Kolodin stand on working with the Trump administrationThe secretary of state race is unfolding as the Trump administration attempts to exert unprecedented influence on elections across the nation, including in Arizona. Whoever wins will decide how far to let the federal government step into the state’s processes.Fontes has resisted the federal government’s efforts to scrutinize Arizona’s voting process, such as by refusing to hand over the state’s voter roll to the Department of Justice. He’s also used his bully pulpit, joining other secretaries of state across the country to publicly oppose an executive order from Trump that sought to impose new restrictions on mail ballots.Fontes said Trump is “going to continue to try” to intervene in election administration.“A lot of these proposed rules and executive orders and things like this, we still have to fight against,” Fontes said. “So that role will continue, and we will continue to be as robust in our battles as possible.”In the meantime, he’s also sought to keep county elected officials in check. Fontes and Mayes sent all 15 of the state’s voting jurisdictions a letter earlier this year warning them against handing their full voter rolls to the feds as they probed the 2020 election in Arizona.“I think my presence in this office is a moderating factor to some of the radical politicians,” Fontes said, adding that “there’s not a ton of them, but there’s a few of them.”Kolodin said in radio interviews earlier this year that the Trump administration’s request for Arizona’s unredacted voter rolls was “common sense,” and that he would require county recorders to run their full voter lists through a federal data tool known as Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, to check for noncitizens.“I don’t know why anybody would want to be delaying making sure that we only have U.S. citizens on our voter rolls,” Kolodin said at the time. “That makes no sense to me.”But at last month’s debate, he changed his tune. Kolodin said wouldn’t simply hand voter information to the feds. Rather, he proposed licensing the SAVE tool so voter information stayed “in-house, here in the great state of Arizona.”“I understand the system isn’t perfect,” Kolodin said. “You need second checks and balances. But the secretary of state’s responsibility is to make sure that we only have lawful American citizens on the voter rolls.”After red-meat primary, Kolodin makes his pitch to independent votersThe secretary of state’s race, like most in swing-state Arizona, looks like it will be a competitive one. For now, observers consider Fontes the slight favorite because of Kolodin’s farther-right image and the national political winds favoring Democrats.Kolodin won the Republican primary 60% to 40% by running to the right of his opponent, former Arizona GOP Chair Gina Swoboda. But since then, he appears to be attempting to moderate his image. In a primary election night statement, he said his campaign was about “protecting every vote, regardless of party.”“Tonight, Arizona voters spoke up decisively for lawful, transparent, honest, and fair elections,” Kolodin said, adding that he aimed to run “world-class elections that Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike can be proud of.”Later, he updated his social media presence. On X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, his pre-primary profile description highlighted his affiliation with the Freedom Caucus. His profile picture was a simple headshot, and his banner featured an abbreviated version of a quote by former U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater: “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”That changed in the post-primary period. Kolodin’s new profile description touts him as a “civil rights attorney specializing in Arizona election law.” His profile picture is a professional photo of him and his family, and his banner now advertises his campaign.Fontes said he and his team had long expected Kolodin to shift gears while attempting to woo general election voters — but he doesn’t expect Kolodin will be successful.“The only difference between him and the last one is that he’s not wearing a goofy cowboy hat,” Fontes said, referring to his 2022 opponent, Republican Mark Finchem, who was known for his belief that the 2020 election was stolen.Sasha Hupka is a reporter for Votebeat based in Arizona.

Si el pronóstico daba sol, pero ha empezado a llover y toca cambiar de plan, aquí tienes propuestas culturales y visitas bajo techo para aprovechar el viaje sin depender del paraguas Seis buenas razones para viajar en otoño (y seis destinos que lo demuestran) Si hay algo que no puedes controlar cuando viajas es el tiempo. Y eso hace que los planes no siempre salgan como queremos. Llegas a una ciudad con ganas de caminar, descubrir sus plazas, entrar en sus monumentos y sentarte en alguna terraza y, de repente, el cielo se pone en contra y comienza a llover. ¿Y ahora qué? Porque si solo tienes dos o tres días, esperar a que escampe no es una opción. Por suerte, no hace falta pasarse el día corriendo de un portal a otro con el paraguas en la mano. Muchas de las ciudades más turísticas de España tienen suficientes alternativas bajo techo como para seguir haciendo planes apetecibles aunque el tiempo se complique. Palacios, iglesias, edificios históricos, centros de ciencia, museos o espacios culturales permiten cambiar de planes sin renunciar a conocer la ciudad. Al fin y al cabo, el problema no es la lluvia, el problema es no tener plan B. Por eso hemos buscado algunas de las mejores alternativas para esos días en los que el pronóstico se empeña en aguarnos la escapada. En Barcelona podemos refugiarnos entre la arquitectura del Palau de la Música o visitar el Museo de la Ciencia CosmoCaixa; en Madrid, recorrer el Palacio Real o la Galería de las Colecciones Reales; en Sevilla, descubrir la Casa de Pilatos; en Granada, entrar en los antiguos baños del Bañuelo; en València, dedicar varias horas al Oceanogràfic; en Málaga, descubrir coches y moda en su museo del automóvil; y en Donostia, descubrir que su Aquarium es mucho más que un lugar donde ver peces. Barcelona Si la lluvia nos obliga a olvidarnos por unas horas de pasear por el Barrio Gótico o recorrer el paseo de Gràcia, Barcelona tiene suficientes alternativas para que el día no se eche a perder. Una de las más evidentes es la Sagrada Familia, cuya espectacularidad se concentra precisamente en su interior, con el juego de luz de sus vidrieras y las formas que creó Gaudí. Y si queremos seguir con el modernismo, podemos acercarnos al Palau de la Música Catalana, obra de Lluís Domènech i Montaner y Patrimonio Mundial, que podemos conocer mediante una visita a su interior. El Recinto Modernista de Sant Pau es otra buena alternativa para descubrir la arquitectura de principios del siglo XX sin depender demasiado del tiempo. Museo de la Ciencia CosmoCaixa, en Barcelona. Para una jornada con niños, o simplemente para quienes prefieran cambiar los monumentos por algo diferente, el Museo de la Ciencia CosmoCaixa es una apuesta segura. Es un museo pensado para experimentar y entender la ciencia de una forma entretenida, con espacios dedicados al universo, la evolución, la geología o el medio ambiente. El Bosque Inundado y la Sala Universo son dos de sus grandes atractivos, pero hay mucho más que ver. Si el aguacero es de los que no dan tregua, aquí podemos pasar buena parte del día sin echar demasiado de menos el sol. Madrid En Madrid la lluvia no debería de ser un gran problema, porque buena parte de sus grandes atractivos turísticos están a cubierto y algunos permiten organizar una jornada completa sin apenas sacar el paraguas. El Palacio Real es una de las opciones más claras. Recorrer sus salones, escaleras y dependencias permite conocer uno de los grandes edificios históricos de la capital. Muy cerca tenemos la Galería de las Colecciones Reales, que amplía el recorrido por la historia de la monarquía española a través de sus obras de arte, objetos y piezas históricas. Son dos visitas que se pueden combinar muy bien cuando el tiempo no acompaña. Galería de las Colecciones Reales, en Madrid. Si queremos alejarnos de los grandes museos, Madrid todavía guarda unas cuantas alternativas. El Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales, por ejemplo, ocupa un antiguo palacio convertido en convento y conserva una importante colección artística en sus espacios históricos. Otra opción es el Teatro Real, que podemos conocer mediante sus visitas al edificio o, si coincide con la programación, aprovechar para asistir a una representación. Y si buscamos algo especialmente relacionado con la historia de la ciudad, podemos acercarnos también al Monasterio de la Encarnación. En Madrid, al menos, la lluvia no es una excusa para quedarse en el hotel. Sevilla Se dice que “en Sevilla la lluvia es una maravilla”, pero puede fastidiarnos el paseo por Santa Cruz, la Plaza de España o las orillas del Guadalquivir. Pero eso sí, no tiene por qué impedirnos conocer sus grandes monumentos. El Real Alcázar es uno de los mejores planes para un día así. Aunque sus jardines son exteriores, los palacios y buena parte del recorrido se desarrollan a cubierto y permiten descubrir uno de los conjuntos históricos más interesantes de la ciudad. La Catedral es otra apuesta evidente, tanto por sus dimensiones como por el patrimonio que conserva en su interior. Eso sí, si llueve con ganas, piensa que en lo más alto de la Giralda también te puedes mojar, y además las vistas no serán las mejores. Palacio de las Dueñas, en Sevilla. La lluvia también puede ser una buena excusa para fijarnos en algunos lugares que quizá pasaríamos por alto con buen tiempo. El Archivo de Indias, junto a la Catedral, ocupa la antigua Lonja de Mercaderes y permite acercarse a la historia de la relación entre Sevilla y América. Y si queremos conocer cómo vivían las grandes familias sevillanas, podemos visitar la Casa de Pilatos, una de las mejores muestras de arquitectura palaciega de la ciudad, o el Palacio de las Dueñas. Son visitas más tranquilas que las grandes atracciones de Sevilla y, sobre todo, nos permiten seguir haciendo turismo sin preocuparnos demasiado por la que está cayendo fuera. Granada La Alhambra sigue siendo una buena opción aunque llueva, aunque aquí conviene hacer una pequeña advertencia: no todo el recorrido es interior. Los Palacios Nazaríes sí permiten refugiarse buena parte del tiempo, pero tendremos que salir para conocer otros espacios del conjunto. Si el día está complicado, podemos completar la jornada en el centro de Granada con la Catedral y la Capilla Real, dos visitas completamente interiores que, además, nos permiten conocer otra etapa fundamental de la historia de la ciudad. El Bañuelo, en Granada. Y si queremos descubrir la Granada andalusí sin depender del tiempo, hay alternativas muy interesantes. El Bañuelo conserva unos antiguos baños árabes del siglo XI y es una visita breve pero muy diferente a la de los grandes monumentos de la ciudad. La Casa de Zafra, en el Albaicín, es otro pequeño tesoro: una vivienda hispanomusulmana de los siglos XIV y XV que conserva elementos originales y funciona también como centro de interpretación del barrio. Para terminar, especialmente si viajamos con niños, podemos cambiar completamente de registro y pasar unas horas en el Parque de las Ciencias. Sus exposiciones interactivas hacen que la visita sea bastante más participativa que la de un museo convencional y es un buen comodín para esos días en los que Granada aparece cubierta de nubes. València Si empieza a llover en València hay un lugar que prácticamente nos permite olvidarnos del problema durante varias horas: la Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias. El Oceanogràfic es mucho más que un acuario donde ver peces y animales marinos. El complejo recrea diferentes ecosistemas de los mares y océanos del planeta y combina divulgación, educación y conservación. Además, su tamaño hace que sea uno de esos planes que realmente pueden ocupar una buena parte del día. Si viajamos con niños, probablemente sea una de las mejores opciones de la ciudad.  Museu de les Ciències, en Valencia. Podemos aprovechar el desplazamiento para visitar también el Museu de les Ciències, un espacio interactivo dedicado a la ciencia y la tecnología en el que está permitido tocar, experimentar y participar. Y si todavía tenemos tiempo, el Hemisfèric ofrece otra alternativa bajo techo con sus proyecciones de cine digital y documentales. Para quienes prefieran la València histórica, podemos volver al centro y visitar la Lonja de la Seda, Patrimonio Mundial, o el Palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas, cuyo interior merece tanto la pena como su conocida fachada. Así, incluso con lluvia, podemos combinar ciencia, arquitectura e historia en una misma escapada. Málaga Málaga tiene fama de ciudad de sol, pero incluso aquí puede tocar un día de paraguas. En ese caso, podemos empezar por la Catedral, uno de los grandes monumentos de la ciudad y un buen lugar para descubrir su arquitectura, sus capillas y su patrimonio artístico. Después podemos acercarnos al Museo Picasso Málaga, una de las visitas culturales más conocidas de la ciudad y una buena oportunidad para conocer la obra del artista malagueño. Además, el museo ocupa el Palacio de Buenavista, un edificio histórico que merece nuestra atención por sí solo.  Museo del Automóvil y la Moda de Málaga. Si ya conocemos Picasso o simplemente queremos cambiar de registro, Málaga ofrece opciones bastante menos previsibles. El Centre Pompidou permite acercarse al arte contemporáneo en un espacio que se ha convertido en uno de los edificios culturales más reconocibles de su paisaje. Y para una visita completamente distinta podemos ir al Museo del Automóvil y la Moda, donde una colección de vehículos históricos se combina con piezas relacionadas con el mundo de la moda. Si viajamos con niños, otra posibilidad es el Museo Interactivo de la Música de Málaga, pensado para descubrir la música de una manera participativa. Donostia En una ciudad tan ligada al mar como Donostia, un día de lluvia puede parecer especialmente inoportuno. Pero precisamente el mar nos da uno de los mejores planes para estas circunstancias: el Aquarium. No estamos hablando simplemente de un lugar al que entrar para ver peces durante un rato, sino de un espacio dedicado a conocer el medio marino, su fauna, su historia y la relación que la ciudad ha mantenido con el mar. Su recorrido combina acuarios con contenidos divulgativos y elementos relacionados con la tradición marítima. Además, es una de las opciones más recomendables si viajamos con niños. En el Museo Eureka! de Donostia. Otra posibilidad es el Museo San Telmo, instalado en un antiguo convento y dedicado a la sociedad y la cultura vascas. Y para cambiar completamente de registro tenemos Tabakalera, el antiguo edificio de la fábrica de tabacos convertido en Centro Internacional de Cultura Contemporánea, con exposiciones, cine, actividades y propuestas relacionadas con el arte y la creación contemporánea. Si viajamos en familia, Eureka! Zientzia Museoa añade otra alternativa especialmente interesante para los más pequeños. Y si la lluvia continúa hasta la noche, siempre podemos consultar la programación del Kursaal o del Teatro Victoria Eugenia. Así, teniendo un plan B, es más fácil ponerle buena cara al mal tiempo.

The state Education Department isn’t ruling it out after more than half of New York City Council members signed a letter this week urging state officials to grant an analog option for state testing — just months after the state fully transitioned to online exams.The request to waive the state’s computer-based testing requirement comes amid a broader push to limit technology in the classroom. City officials banned individual digital devices this school year for students in pre-K through second grade, with recommended screen time limits of 30 to 45 minutes in grades 3-8. “A computer-based testing mandate creates pressures for additional screen exposure and technology practice even when teachers and school systems are trying to move instruction in the opposite direction,” City Council member Eric Dinowitz wrote in the letter to state Education Commissioner Betty Rosa. The letter was first reported by Gothamist. The state Education Department appears to be taking the request seriously. “The Department is reviewing Council Member Dinowitz’s request and will have additional information in the coming weeks,” spokesperson J.P. O’Hare wrote in an email.The broader backlash to artificial intelligence and other ed tech tools has intensified debates about digital testing and whether it pressures schools to expose young students to more technology.City Education Department officials have denied that state testing requirements played a role in the city’s device policy. But education leaders across the country have expressed concerns that students who don’t regularly use computers for schoolwork may be unprepared for digital state exams.A city Education Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to questions about whether the department supports returning to paper-and-pencil assessments or would request a waiver if one were available. Allowing exemptions to New York’s digital assessment policy would represent a significant reversal for state officials who have spent years transitioning school districts to online exams. The state began experimenting with digital assessments a decade ago and fully phased in the requirement this past spring, with some exceptions for students with special accommodations.The transition has been punctuated by technical glitches that have repeatedly disrupted the exams. Some observers have questioned whether the shift to digital testing is affecting student performance, particularly after reading scores plunged last school year, though there is little evidence the transition was to blame. State officials have argued that digital tests are more convenient, allow for faster scoring, and enable them to more precisely measure what students know through tests that adapt to students’ skill levels.Dinowitz said he is encouraged that state officials are considering the council’s request. Parents and educators feel “inundated with screens and big tech in schools,” he told Chalkbeat on Friday.Alex Zimmerman is a senior reporter for Chalkbeat New York, covering NYC public schools.

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name.A student in Whitney Chase’s class told the high school Spanish teacher this week that every time they see an airplane flying over their San Diego community, they fear the sound of a bomb will follow.To some, San Diego is a tourist destination known for beaches and burritos. A southern California oasis where the sun is always shining. A border city with a landmark zoo. But on Oct. 5, San Diego and its residents became the subject of contentious remarks made by President Donald Trump. At a rally in Nebraska, while speaking about how the war with Iran is keeping the world safe, he said: “Let them take out Los Angeles; let them take out San Diego. That’s — this is a very small price to pay, and it’s going to be over with very soon.”The line was instantly polarizing. Scores of Californians and progressives nationwide said it was another hostile affront to a state Republicans have long labeled a liberal inferno, and blasted Trump for suggesting San Diego or Los Angeles could be attacked and that the government would “let them.” The Trump administration said the comments were widely misinterpreted — an assertion some news organizations said was supported by the context of the speech — and that the president was saying cities would have been in danger if Trump hadn’t acted. As for kids in San Diego? They took it as though the threat of a bomb from Iran aimed at their community could be imminent, said Chase. But more broadly, the remark felt like another dig on a community already feeling wrung out by the current presidential administration’s policies. It also highlighted the difficulties for educators when they consider whether and how to discuss current events, especially when they can’t assume every student’s political background. The surge in immigration enforcement arrests in Trump’s second term has taken a toll on local students and educators. So has the war with Iran. With more than 115,000 active-duty service members, San Diego is also a military town, and just welcomed back the U.S.S. Lincoln after a perilous and lengthy month deployment. Reports of supply shortages and mental health issues among crew members also added to families’ stress. The fears created by the Iran remark and the broader alarm coursing through San Diego schools prompted the school district this week to publish a resource for its educators about how to talk to students about Trump’s “let them” comments. The nine-page, slickly formatted document includes screenshots of tweets from California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and suggestions for facilitating conversations with students — conversations that officials say students want to have. For younger students, teachers should emphasize that they’re safe, and ask students what makes them feel safe, the guide says. For older students, conversations might tackle media literacy and civics concepts. The guidance tries to spark conversations about leadership, and how to respond thoughtfully when a public figure makes a hurtful comment.Education leaders, including district Superintendent Fabi Bagula, also held a press conference where they denounced Trump’s words. “No child should ever be asked to answer for a government or be treated as responsible for its actions,” she said. “Our words and our willingness to listen matter.”Richard Barrera, president of San Diego Unified’s school board and a contender in November’s state superintendent race, said in an interview with Chalkbeat that while Trump “might not appreciate or care about the impact of his words, but when he says something like Iran should take out Los Angeles or San Diego, that scares young people.” Students’ desire to talk about Trump’s Iran comments runs parallel to their stories of how the president’s immigration policies have fractured their families, with federal agents detaining parents or surrounding students on their way to school.Chase, who teaches at a school with a high population of economically disadvantaged students and Latino students, said the kind of fear expressed by the student about airplanes overhead has spread. Managing student emotions and answering questions in the wake of comments like Trump’s Iran remark entail delicate conversations.At the same time, the district’s guidance advises educators to stress safety to students, “and talk about how news can feel scary even when we are safe.” Chase has also tried to steer conversations from fear to more optimistic topics, like what students hope for in the world, stressing that humans have rights to dignity. One student wrote her a letter, she said, stating that their generation won’t “accept hate” from Donald Trump.Still, bringing up politics in school can be treacherous, particularly when some Americans believe schools should behave in ways that are politically neutral. San Diego’s resource includes the Trump administration’s defense of the comments.While many San Diegans are Democrats— 57% voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 — Republicans do represent portions of the San Diego region in Congress and the California Legislature. Barrera said teachers should talk to students in a way that doesn’t show a political preference.But he said that doesn’t mean people should just accept the “rationalization” from the Trump administration about the president’s comments: “It doesn’t matter whether he was joking. It matters what he said.”Chase said she tries to be as objective as she can in conversations with students. But that doesn’t mean she’ll stay silent.“What we’re trying to get the kids to understand is, this is not normal,” she said of Trump’s remarks. “This is not normal behavior for a politician.”Lily Altavena is a national reporter at Chalkbeat.
