Local historian writes about Fairfield School, which once stood on land near CSUSBThe SunNov. 26, 2018 Local historian Nick Cataldo wrote about the one-room Fairfield School that once stood in the area near the campus of Cal State San Bernardino. “The need for Fairview was influenced by the arrival of the railroads in the early 1880s. San Bernardino had blossomed to a bustling city, and competition between the California Southern (later known as the Santa Fe and now as BNSF Railway) and the Southern Pacific set off a rate war attracting thousands of newcomers into the area,” Cataldo wrote. The historian said he learned much about the school in 1987 with Russell Barber, CSUSB professor of anthropology, and Teena Searle, one of his students who participated in a project to excavate the site. Cataldo also wrote that another CSUSB student, Paige M. Peyton, made it the topic of her 1990 master of arts thesis, “Reconstructing Fairfield School.” Read the complete article at “A 3-mile walk to school? For students at Fairview School near San Bernardino it was an 1888 reality.”
Rise in hate crimes ‘cause for concern,’ CSUSB professor saysTruthDigNov. 26, 2018 An article on an increase in violence perpetrated by right-wing extremists included an interview with Brian Levin, director of CSUSB’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. Anti-Semitic attacks in particular have increased, the article said, with a 17 percent rise in such hate crimes in 2017, as the FBI found in Hate Crime Statistics 2017, a report released this month. “We are definitely at an inflection point,” Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, told The Wall Street Journal after the FBI report was released. He continued, “We have now risen to the highest level in about a decade. That is a cause for concern.” Read the complete article at “Far right increasingly responsible for mass violence: report.”
