The same teachers would have a temper tantrum if someone suggested a tribute/parade in honor of Ronald Reagan.

?Viva la raza, Cesar Chavez!? yelled 40 youth...."


Long live the RACE?


If a group of WHITE children marched shouting THIS slogan while holding a fascist like symbol (the eagle), the teacher would be fired, the school shut down, and the school board sued for discrimination and the community labeled as "racist"


But since its a minority, its O.K.

Berkeley brainwashing. I'll bet they really let their hair down on Che Guevera's birthday.

Not much of great surprise here, but this jumped out at me:

She said learning about Chavez made her proud of her Mexican heritage.

I think this illustrates a big problem with the lefty/"civil rights hero" approach to learning about history.

What this poor kid seems to be saying is that she had no pride in her Mexican heritage UNTIL she heard that there was a guy named Cesar Chavez who was Mexican, and who did some things her teacher considers great and finds it necessary for them to learn about. Message: "if there had been no Cesar Chavez or someone like him, my Mexican heritage wouldn't have been worth a pile of crap - at least that's what my teacher thinks"

"Pride" is all 100% dependent on having a lefty folk-hero in your heritage.

This all may go some way to explaining 1. why lefties often seem so dissatisfied and melancholy, 2. why they feel the need to seek out and identify every last lefty folk-hero they can squeeze out of history, and 3. why they seem to try to style their lives in such a way as to become a lefty folk-hero themselves - worthy of having some lefty teacher in the future force her kids to give a little parade with construction-paper signs in his/her honor.

Because if that doesn't happen, what use has their life been? Much of leftism has often struck me as a subconscious attempt to please some lefty teacher/parent of one's childhood.

Berkeley is training these children to be the next generation of "useful idiots".

P.S. Addendum; This may just be because of the moment the photo happened to have been snapped, but if you look at the two black kids in the middle, they don't look very happy, do they? I sure wouldn't blame them. Their teacher has just spent two weeks telling the kids *of Mexican descent* how "proud" they should be because Cesar Chavez existed. Kids aren't stupid and they know if such a thing applies to *them* or not. Right now the black kids may be thinking: "Why can't there be a *black* Cesar Chavez to make *my* race worthy too?" Of course, I'm sure they hear about MLK plenty. I'm just saying.

For two weeks, recreation activity leaders Ana Buendia and Ofelia Perez prepared the children for their presentations.

Two weeks of indoctrination, and the little puppets are ready to perform. Amazing! I wonder if the Live Oak Recreation Center receives federal funding.

Berkeley was the City that changed Christopher Columbus Day to "Indigent People Day" and spent time debated and passing a necular free zone 60 miles above the City air space. Yes, the City is broke, the streets are filty and the schools are terrible.

Nice. Young racist commies in the making.
