AP) LOS ANGELES The marches against proposed immigration legislation are spreading in Los Angeles.
Some 1,500 L.A. students who have walked out of class are gathered outside Los Angeles City Hall.
L.A. school district officials said some 1,000 students from Los Angeles High School on the 4600 block of Olympic Avenue have walked out and are reportedly heading toward Hollywood High School on the 1500 block of North Highland Avenue.
Hundreds of students have already left Huntington Park High School, some scaling fences that school officials locked to avoid a walkout.
L.A. school district spokeswoman Monica Carazo said students have walked out from at least eight schools ranging from the San Fernando Valley to the wealthy coastal enclave of Pacific Palisades.
Carazo said teachers and administrators are accompanying the students to look after their safety.
The L.A. Police Department said the force is on tactical alert as a precaution because of the protests. But no arrests or major confrontations have been reported.
LA schools are 70% latino.
I wonder how many really support the cause and how many just wanted a "get out of school" excuse?
Now now. He's busy correcting term papers and is bizzy.
Great point. I don't think the demonstrators quite grasp the American psyche. We're not Frenchie -- people "demanding" things in the street doesn't earn capitulation. It usually earns retaliation. And to the extent a lot of people were undecided on this issue, my guess is that the protests are more likely to swing them in the direction of controlling immigration.
Because we are law-abiding?
Because we can work the phones and the letters and we can vote?

Are you angry? I think you are. I am overwhelmed but glad it is all coming out in the open now.
Of course they do... they're behind it:
More illegal aliens = more students enrolled
More students enrolled = more money coming from Sacramento
More money coming from Sacrament0 = More teacher jobs
More teacher jobs = More union dues being paid
More union dues being paid = Bigger Union Coffers
Bigger Union Coffers = More money to spend on Socialist Candidates
LOL...
Me? Angry?
I'm past that....it's gotten worse...
Me too, I am past anger. Kind of icy cold and determined...
You get an 'A+' in the New Math.
i'm not surprised. Mayor V is probably out there passing out the protest signs.
They are seeing to the students safety i.e., protecting them from the evil police who may need to crack down on this.
You are talking about this like it's a bad thing.
More businesses will flee the lawless La Republica Popular de California and move to Utah. More job opportunities for me! And our legal Polynesian immigrants.
You all might want to contact your Senator, since they are considering legislation RIGHT NOW
"I wonder how many really support the cause and how many just wanted a "get out of school" excuse?"
Exactly. If I were in school, I'd be "protesting" the bill as many days as I could. In fact, I was in high school when the local schools were finally integrated. One week during the second year we had some tensions and a few fights. You should have seen the kids checking out for their "safety."
