Bakersfield, CA.
Assemblywoman Nicole Parra, D-Hanford, released a statement commending students for their dedication but urging them to work with schools.
Bakersfield, too? We will have anarchy if our elected officials like Villaraigosa, Parra, Nunez, et al don't quit endorsing these folks. Even the governor could only find kind words. "Lenience" is not the first word that I would have thought of.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was in Bakersfield Wednesday on an unrelated matter, took a different tack. He said he understood the spirit behind the protests but prefers students stay in class.
"It's just maybe one way -- or the only way -- they can express themselves about a certain issue," Schwarzenegger said. "So one has to be also lenient about it."
