The upside down of Hollywood’s child actorsOver the course of the last
two months, the topic of sex-ual harassment has overcome the nation in a seemingly nev-er-ending wave of accusations and lawsuits against some of Hollywood’s biggest names.
Most recently, however, some Hollywood child stars were vic-tims of alleged harassment, put-ting the issue in a different light.
“Stranger Things” actor Finn Wolfhard was targeted recently.
Ali Michael, a 27-year-old fashion model, made a post to her social media asking Wolf-hard to “hit her up” in four years, suggesting that she wanted to date him or have a physical re-lationship with the 14-year-old star.
“The first time hearing about it, I thought it was absolutely disgusting,” Mr. Frey said.
Senior Alex Alvarez had a different opinion.
“I think it’s not [as] weird be-cause she acknowledged that he is still younger than 18, but I be-lieve it would be a bigger prob-lem is she told him to ‘hit her
up’ right now,” he said.Then one of Ali’s co-stars,
13-year-old Millie Bobby Brown, was the focus of some
unwanted attention when she was dubbed W Magazine’s “Sexiest Actress.”
“My first reaction was that ‘she’s only 13,’ but I also found it frustrating that the part she plays in the show doesn’t have any sex appeal, so it really says something about the society we live in,” said Mrs. Maguire.

FCC soon voting to get rid of net neutralityBy Jasmine Hernandez and Kathryn Leinen
The FCC is voting Dec. 14 on whether to get net neutrality regu-lations.
Net Neutrality means that your internet service cannot favor cer-tain websites over others by slow-ing down internet speeds on sites that do not pay extra to get more.
This affects everyone who goes on the less-popular websites that will most likely not be able to pay to have higher speeds.
We like to watch shows online, go on reading sites and on small, private online shops on a daily ba-sis.
Most of these would be slowed down.
What is the point of paying for the fastest speed of internet if your
favorite sites will creep like snails?It is even possible that internet
providers will start making people buy packages of site bundles.
This means that you will have to buy each separate bundle of all the sites you need with some bun-dles being far more expensive than others because they include popular sites such as Google.
According Save the Internet, those who will suffer the most are “people of color, the LGBTQ com-munity, indigenous peoples and religious minorities in the United States that rely on the open internet to organize, access economic and educational opportunities, and fight back against systemic discrimina-tion.”
If net neutrality is taken away, who knows where we will be able to congregate with people who share similar interests?
When it comes to educational op-portunities, the students at Bridge might not be able to access online tutoring and studying websites.
And even if we can access them, content like video tutorials, live classes and sessions will slow down.
Media sites like Twitter, Discord, Patreon, Pinterest, Tumblr, Netflix, Spotify, SoundCloud and Etsy are taking a stand against it.
Also, on battleforthenet.com, stu-dents can view showing where sev-eral protests will be held. Or enter your phone number and call Con-gress.
You can also sign petitions on-line at freepress.net or donate to the cause.
Everyone should help stop the FCC from getting rid of net neutral-ity.

Asian Alliance Club was chosen for this month’s Club of the Month because its students are spreading awareness of Asian culture around the school.
Vice president, junior Cristian Sanchez went into detail about what the club is all about.
“We want to share to the school the beauty, vast diversity, and cul-ture that Asia has on America today, and what it’s hiding from the outside world of people like me who do not know much of any other culture,” he said.
He added that, “There is a lot to explore, and I personally am excited and happy to be a part of this jour-ney.”
While they explore Asia’s many cultures, they are also hard at work bringing different aspects of the cul-ture to Bridge.
On Multicultural Day, Asian Al-liance had a huge crowd forming around their table where they sold sell egg waffles, Thai tea and ice cream.
Junior Nichole Van Roth, Al-
liance president, said, “All of our funds will go toward a club trip to Asian American Expo in Pomona in January.”
Asian Alliance Club meets during lunch every Wednesday in Wins-boro’s room.

“Thor: Ragnarok” bolts into theatersBy Kyra Hilligand Jasmine Hernandez
Movie review
“Thor: Ragnarok” continues the journey of Thor in his quest to pro-tect Asgard.
There are quite a few familiar faces in the film: Chris Hemsworth playing Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Anthony Hopkins as Odin. Some of the new actors are Cate Blanchett, who plays Hella, Tes-sa Thompson as Valkyrie and Karl Urban as Skurge, who becomes the executioner for Hella.
The movie starts out with Thor being inside of a cage in the under-world. Surtur, a fire demon, tells Thor that Ragnarok, the end of Asgard, has begun, and that he will rule Asgard once it is finished. Thor is able to retrieve Surtur’s crown, the key to his power, and flies back to Asgard.
Thor returns to Asgard and asks Loki where Odin is. They are magi-cally transported to New York.
Loki gets a colored circle appear-ing around him, and he drops into the concrete. The only thing left in its place is a card with the address “177A Bleecker St.” Fans of Doctor Strange know this location.
Thor meets up with Doctor Strange and sends Thor and Loki to
their father.Inside the trailer of the film,
there is a new place revealed called Sakaar, where the Grand Master, played by Jeff Goldblum, has shows in his Arena that involve his “cham-pions.”
Thor is brought to this arena by Valkyrie, who captures him when he is first dumped into the world of Sakaar. Inside the arena, he meets with an old friend, The Incredible Hulk, and battles him.
Thor wants to get back to Asgard, but also wants to build up a team in Sakaar to defeat Hella. He joins with Valkyrie, Loki and Hulk, and they make their way back to Asgard to defeat Hella.
The movie was absolutely fantas-tic for a huge Thor fan. Compared to the first Thor movie, it was a ma-jor improvement. In Norse mythol-ogy, Ragnarok does mark the end of Asgard, and I like that Marvel has gone along with the mythology to create its Thor movies.
The gods and goddesses are de-fined like Marvel did in the first movie.
As the movies progressed, view-ers got to learn more about the
characters, and the portrayal of the actual Norse Mythology gods and goddesses was spot on.
As for the characters, I like that
they gave a history to the new char-acters. Valkyrie, who only appears in the Ragnarok movie, had her his-tory revealed when Loki placed his fingers on her forehead. She had a past with Hella that helps viewers understand her reason for joining the battle.
Loki has had an ever-changing personality throughout all the films, and being the God of Mischief, no one could fully believe everything he said.
However, by the end, he became a wonderful character, even more so than before.
The new movie reveals new in-formation based on the previous films, so someone who has not seen them may be slightly lost. Overall, the creators did a really good job of summing up Norse mythology and the Thor movie trilogy.
Of the three movies, this one is definitely my favorite, and I would highly recommend others see it. Photos courtesy of Marvel.com

Knights football throws in the towel
The Knights football team ended the 2017 season with a 1-9 record overall and 1-4 in the South Valley League.
Their last game was away against Calvary Murrieta Nov. 3. The Knights lost 59-14.
Senior Nick Cazee led the team with eight rushing touchdowns for the season.
Senior Andre Pacheco caught three passing TDs from junior quar-terback Alexx Nunez.
Senior Max Montoya and fresh-man Ethan Choe ended the season with the most tackles at 83, accord-ing to Maxpreps.
Choe also had the most rushing yards at 691.
Senior Andre Pacheco had the most receiving yards at 244.
By Karen Landeros
The last game reflected the diffi-culties the team faced this season.
Junior Cameron Mays said one was the “lack of coaches.”
While they had three official coaches, only Coach Mares was consistently present through the
season. “We didn’t win many games, but
we definitely learned what we need-ed to improve on,” Cameron said.
Also, the squad needed more players, junior Johnny Arrellano said.
“We just needed more people to sub in. Help out,” he said.
From the spectators’ stands, many students said they enjoyed the games.
Senior Vanessa Morales said, “The atmosphere was really cool. A lot of people supporting, cheering on our team. [They] kept trying.”
Cheerleader Blake Hefner said, “The team remained positive. They did their hardest and played hard.
