From the JCCSF publicity materials:
Mary Pipher became a cultural force in 1994 with the publication of Reviving Ophelia, the book that opened America's eyes to the psychological toll that adolescent girls face growing up in a country rife with sexual abuse, school violence and an overwhelming pressure to be thin.Tickets: $15 members, $20 public available at https://tickets.jccsf.org/public/hall.asp, or call 415/292-1233
Her next book, The Shelter of Each Other: Rebuilding Our Families, explores the loss of community in America that encourages people to develop their own family structures rather than rely on popular culture to do it for them, and urges them to be selective in the media they allow to enter their lives.

I don't understand what the objection is to giving charters unused district school space.
In this case the objection is to giving them district space that is NOT unused -- either forcing existing programs to squeeze into a smaller space to make room for the charter, or displacing the existing programs altogether.
