(Repost without Tucson Citizen excerpts)
Marxist agitator and pro-ILLEGAL alien activist Dolores Huerta was an invited guest speaker at a special assembly at Tucson High Magnet School the day after massive student walkouts in support of illegal aliens. Huerta was the co-founder, with Cesar Chavez, of the United Farm Workers Union and is one of the national leaders of the latest protests and rallies supporting illegal alients. During her speech Huerta told many outright lies without being challenged by school officials or students. She even went so far as to state such outrageous things as "We didn't cross the border. The border crossed us" and "Republicans hate Latinos!". All without any opposition from the school administration.
The school has posted the audio of the inflammatory speech wherein Huerta praised student walkouts on the Tucson High Magnet School website at http://quill.tusd.k12.az.us/doloreshuertaaddress.
Arizona State Rep. Jonathan Paton appeared on KOLD 13 TV tonight about this outrage. He sent the school the following letter:
It has come to my attention from students and employees that disturbing events are occurring at Tucson Unified School District.
For that reason, I am seeking answers to several key questions to determine the veracity of these reports.
At the March 29 and 30 rallies, it is alleged that TUSD provided transportation for students who attended the gathering. Expending taxpayer money for political events presents a troubling development in TUSD's mission to educate children.
Also, during a school assembly, an activist spouted political propaganda at Tucson High School while also encouraging students to skip class to class to attend immigration rallies in Downtown Tucson. This is equally disconcerting
I am requesting the following information:
Did TUSD pay for buses or personnel to transport students to or from the rallies in Downtown Tucson on March 29 and 30?
If yes, how much did the district expend for the event?
Did bus drivers receive overtime to transport these students?
If district-supplied busses were used, what prompted the district to provide transportation?
Was there a plan in place prior to the student walkout to transport them back to campus after the rally?
Was Dolores Huerta paid to speak at Tucson High School on April 3?
Did district officials ask that she refrain from political hate speech?
After she began a political diatribe, which included "Republicans hate Latinos. Republicans hate Latinos," why did Tucson High officials allow her to continue her speech?
Was the assembly mandatory for students ?
What options were provided to students who opted against attending the assembly?
Why is her speech posted on the TUSD website?
I look forward to receiving the requested information by April 13, 2006, and look forward to resolving this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. This public records request seems more civil than the myriad of unpleasantries associated with the provisions of Title 41, Chapter 7, Article 4 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and I hope we can resolve this in a timely matter.
The Tucson Unified School District provided busses to transport students to and/or from the pro-illegal alien rallies held in Tucson last week. I sent the following information about that to Rep. Paton:
I saw the initial report on American Patrol at http://www.americanpatrol.com/ABP/NEWS/060405-Bus-Snit.html which said:
4/5/06
Glenn Spencer reports that he talked to the mother of a Buena High School student. Buena is in Sierra Vista, Arizona. She said her son's baseball team was supposed to play a Tucson high school but the game was cancelled. The Buena students learned that the game was cancelled because the Tucson high school bus was being used to take students to an anti-Sensenbrenner bill rally.
The only baseball game scheduled at Buena with a Tucson high school team travelling here was on March 30th and the school was Flowing Wells High School. See the Buena High School Baseball Team Schedule at http://sierravistapublicschools.com/bhs/schedules/2005_6/2006_2_21_baseball_var056.pdf.
There are photos and a report of a Tucson rally on that day at http://arizona.indymedia.org/news/2006/03/39333.php. One of the photos clearly shows a public school bus transporting students attending the rally.
An Arizona Daily Star news article from that day mentions that students from Flowing Wells walked out of school to attend the rally. See http://www.fox11az.com/news/local/stories/KMSB-20060330-dsbp-immigration.78cd3411.html
Large groups of students continue to demonstrate around Tucson today, the second day in a row that groups have walked out of classes to protest a national effort to crack down on illegal immigration.
More than 250 students are rallying at federal building in Downtown Tucson, and a crowd about that large has been demonstrating at Reid Park, but decided around 11 a.m. to head Downtown to join the other group.
The walk-outs began before 9 a.m., when about 250 students from Catalina High Magnet School left campus. Some 225 students also left Palo Verde High Magnet School. Smaller groups also apparently walked out at Santa Rita High School and Flowing Wells High School. About 75 students from Valencia Middle School also walked out briefly.
Further in the article, it says that administrators at the schools stated that they used school buses to transport the students attending the rally/protest.
Police have been escorting students today to keep them safe. Traffic back-ups are occurring around the city, though. No violence or arrests had been reported at mid-day, authorities said.
Administrators also are keeping a close eye on the students, even arranging for buses to pick them up and return them to school when theyre done, in some cases.
The Tucson Citizen also verifies that school buses were used at http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/daily/local/7756.php
Not only are they transporting students, but no students will be suspended despite clearly violating school district rules according to another Tucson Citizen Article at http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/daily/local/7880.php.
No suspensions are planned in the Tucson Unified School District, but Superintendent Roger Pfeuffer said students will face consequences for unexcused absences from school.
It is outrageous that taxpayer funded public school buses would be used to transport students to or from pro-ILLEGAL immigration rallies. It is even more outrageous that a marxist, pro-ILLEGAL alien agitator such as Huerta, who engaged in political hate speech and incited the students to participate in further illegal walkouts, was allowed to speak at an official school assembly at a Tucson high school. Someone should be fired.
No darlin', we just hate you.
This would be a good time to remember that the Senate is a millionaires' club that needs millions and millions of dollars in campaign funds every year just to be able to return to office.
It was bad enough that my foundation-levelling crew in 1991 were all Central Americans, and that my tree-trimmers usually are Hispanic, because employers don't want anyone else.
On a late-night "distance education" lecture the other night (actually, the lecture was taped about 1997), a Chicano-studies professor was asked about the interplay of illegal immigration and wages, and he did mention in passing that some employers, and even some job occupations in certain markets, are "closed shops" -- closed by employers who refuse to hire citizens. They want the illegals for so many reasons, not just wages, that they won't even talk to a citizen -- white, black, Chicano, whoever.
I hadn't heard that one before, but it goes a long way to explain why some job sites seem to be wall-to-wall illegals, with no whites, blacks, or anyone else anywhere in sight.
It's the employers.
i. It belonged to Mexico for about 22 years. Before that, to Spain, for hundreds.
ii. Before that, when "his" people were down in Mexico, it belonged to the Na-Dene speakers (Navajos and Apaches).
iii.Before that, it belonged to other Indians who spoke languages in the Uto-Aztecan family, of which Nahuatl (Aztec) was one, and the languages of the Mountain Utes and Comanches were also members. The Comanches were historically insignificant until 1752.
iv. Before that, it belonged to still other Indians of various tribal groupings and linguistic families going back 9,000 years or more, including the Chacoans (who may have been the ancestors of the Hopis) and the people of the Mesa Verde Culture, whoever their descendants are now.
v. And before that......it belonged to people who are just beginning to be documented from discoveries of their remains, who showed no affinities to "Amerindians" who came from Asia, but to primitive Eurasian types more closely related to the Turks, Magyars, Finns, speakers of Uralic and other related language families, and the Ainu (among other outlier groups). Who appear to have been exterminated by the paleo-Indians.
Ooops.
"The President and the Senate need to get that message with unambiguous resolve."
I think all of them have made common cause with Marxists at this point, certainly the democrat pary has.
We have a Trojan horse in our courtyard and they are welcoming it, and the daylight is descending into night.
Unless the center (middle) can find another way, our Congress on both sides is ready to shunt this bill aside and allow things to go on as they have allowing more illegal immigration and invasion.
Why is enforcing the exisiting laws and border control so dismisssed? We can enforce a border in a foreign land, but we cannot control a population crossing the South?
They have betrayed us.
It is revealing that most of the "latinos" who walked out of classes to protest the immigration bill had no clue why they were protesting. Even more eye-opening, they directed much of their anger at Bush; having no comprehension that they don't have a better friend or advocate in American government than the President.
Bush's usefulness to them is almost over. He's brought the army - now they need someone to do the surrender.
>>>"Republicans hate Latinos!"
Spanish people do not have exclusive ownership over Latin.
Therefore, I guess most people hate themselves.
Outstanding post. Thanks.
Some student held his iPod's mike up right in front of a speaker for really good recording......mike and recording circuitry are completely overdriven for almost the entire talk, AGC clipping and distortion to the level of about 30%. Wow. Someone needs to borrow some change and buy a clue.
Thank you! I'm certain that the scrutiny that the school is going to be under (and embarassment over the HORRIBLE sound quality of the file) will cause them to take the link down. We need to preserve the audio to keep them from hiding what was said at this school sanctioned event.
What about Republican Latinos, of which there are many?
Oh that's right, they are traitors to their race, just like the Black Republican Uncle Toms.
And the award for the most encouragement to illegal aliens goes to Rep. James Kolbe of Arizona!
I got some new information this morning on this situation.
The students were told that the assembly was not mandatory. Those students who did not want to attend were told that they had to sit in the library. However, when those students got to the library it was locked up and they had to attend the assembly. Those students offended by the content of the assembly were forced to stay there.
The Teenage Republicans, last week, had put up a bunch of Be American! Vote Republican! signs in the school. The school administrators forced them to take them down because they were too "inflammatory".
The bus drivers were paid overtime for carting the Aztlan protestors around. One busdriver stated that he received 20 hours of overtime pay for this.
One of the Committees in the Arizona House of Representatives WILL be subpoenaing people and they WILL be holding hearings on this. They intend to get to the bottom of this and hold the school accountable for their misuse of taxpayer funds, their bias, their choice of speakers and the content of the speech, and the indoctrination that they're engaging in. Heads are going to roll.
The High School has a very active Movimento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) chapter and it was likely this radical racist reconquista organization that sponsored Huerta's appearance there. Who is MEChA? The group's logo is an eagle holding a stick of dynamite in its beak with a lit fuse and a macahuitl (the obsidian blade-studded Aztec war club) in its talons.
Their motto is (translated), "Everything for the race. Outside the race, nothing." (Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.)
The MEChA Constitution says (Article II, section 1):
"General membership shall consist of any student who accepts, believes and works for the goals and objectives of MEChA, including the liberation of AZTLAN, meaning self-determination of our people in this occupied state and the physical liberation of our land."
They follow the "Spiritual Plan of Aztlan" (El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan) which says:
"In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlán from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny. "
KOLD TV 13 in Tucson will be covering this story again tonight in more depth but don't assume that they'll go very far.
Ping
Let 'em hear it ... loud and clear. We have a little window of opportunity now. Apparently a small amount of spine gelling has occurred amongst Senate Pubbies. They need a strong blast of cold clear reality now to harden them. ;^)
