We speak with fifth-grade teacher Monica Ratliff, who beat overwhelming odds to become LA Unified's newest elected school board member. Also, San Diego's latest public scandal, the Mayor who won't quit to end what a former supporter calls "this horrible, horrible civic nightmare." Plus, a special summer experience: Shakespeare in the Park.

On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, the Senate's immigration reform bill links "a path to citizenship" for undocumented workers to massive spending on border security. Why do people who live on the border call it a waste of billions of dollars? We look at potential alternatives.
