13 分钟Good morning. It's Thursday, August 21st.

This is Apple News Today.
On today's show, why so many Americans feel stuck right now,
what the latest vaccine recommendations mean for you,
and the highest-grossing animated movie of all time hits American theaters this week.
But first,
back-to-school season looks very different in communities that have been impacted by President Trump's immigration crackdown.
The L.A.
Times reports on how Los Angeles schools are taking steps to stop immigration agents from detaining students.
Howard Bloom is an education reporter for the L.A.
Times.
We're experiencing something that could be unique in American history,
where a school system and school systems up and down the state of California are essentially aligned in opposition to the executive branch of the federal government.
Bloom reports, as schools started a week ago,
a coordinated effort among L.A. school police, officers from other municipalities,
community members, and district staff are patrolling areas near about 100 schools in L.A.,
setting up safe zones.
Community volunteers and even school staff will also serve as scouts to alert campuses
if immigration actions are going on nearby.
