Of particular interest to L.A. taxpayers are these assurances from the school district:
And this:
The Los Angeles Times reports:
As of midafternoon, more than 22,000 students had walked out of classes in "little bits here and there," according to Ellen Morgan, spokesperson for the Los Angeles Unified School District. A total of 60 schools were involved. Many students waved Mexican flags as they poured out of schools and onto city streets.
"Everything has been calm and there have been no reports of injuries or incidents," said Morgan.
The major walkouts were:
Kennedy High School in the San Fernando Valley, where 1,000 students marched toward San Fernando High School, at about 9:35 a.m.
At about 9:00 a.m., 1,000 students at Los Angeles High School at 4650 West Olympic Boulevard walked to Fairfax and Hollywood high schools, which were both locked down.
School police patrol cars stopped traffic as students walked down the streets, causing traffic jams along La Brea and Melrose avenues.
"If this law passes, what will happen? There would be no more Los Angeles High School. Nearly all of us are immigrants," said Yadira Pech, a 16-year-old junior from Los Angeles High.
"We need to show that we have a voice," Pech said.
Also about 9:30 a.m., 1,000 students from Belmont High School were marching toward City Hall downtown. Fifteen minutes later, LAPD officers estimated that the crowd downtown had grown to 1,500. Protesters waved flags and signs and chanted, "Latinos, stand up!"
"This is unjust. This land used to belong to us and now they're trying to kick us out," said Sandra Molina, 16, a junior from Downtown Magnet High School.
Like I said this morning: Welcome to reconquista.
>>>You know, Mexico sucks. Africa sucks. Indian reservations suck.
Why do these people think can do any better with anything else?>>>
They don't, they want to live off the work of everyone else.
>>>"Personally, I think that it might be a good idea to give the whole state of California back to Mexaco."
Would you like to back your statement up with some reasons why?>>>
Reasons? We don't need no stinkin reasons!
Illegals:
They can't vote.
They refuse to speak English.
They are here ILLEGALLY!
So what are politicians afraid of???

Yep these people certainly need more of my tax money to support any cause on the political left.
California sure has it's share of idiot school professionals.
Mexico used to belong to the Aztec. Does that mean that all the people in Mexico will go jump into the ocean?
Can we hope?
And California being part of Mexico would make all of that disappear, how? Gay's will still be Gay. Hollywood would still make movies and Illegals would still find their way to the other 49 states.

I think every immigrant should be able to stay at LA High. Every illegal immigrant should not. I see no reason why we need to foot the bill for lawbreakers.
Just got a call from a pal and in her little town north of the Dallas area there are several students that walked from the local HS to city hall. Carrying the MX flag, chanting, etc.
You got that right. These people seem to think that all we enjoy as Americans came with the land instead of through had work and innovation, and that if they can only get the land back they'll also get the things that make America great.
Don't give Arizona back, too! I love it here. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's willing to protect it, either.
Only instead of Islam, its "Aztlan".
The writing has been on the wall for years.
I agree.
Hopefully this all calms down soon, but I am afraid it will blow up.
Good god in heaven..what the hell happened to Phoenix?! I was there in Tempe area/Phoenix in 96'...it didn't look near this bad did it? I was there a month and don't remember anything like this.
I'm waiting for the Russians to cross the Bering Straight and reclaim Alaska. Wait, shouldn't the French be in boats up the Mississippi relaiming the Lousiana Purchase?
You know this will become a war in about 30 or 40 years. That day will happen when the Mexican tell the rest of us to leave the southwest. It will be very ugly, but it is coming.
"We will not accept enforcement-only approaches," said Cecilia Munoz, vice president of the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group.

You're stating this from a Biblical perspective? Interesting.
