That is one funnyass-lookin' "Principal".

The principal of a Los Angeles charter elementary school said Wednesday that neither he nor his staff ordered the assault of a KABC-AM radio reporter last week.
Sandy Wells, the reporter working for KABC's morning show, "McIntyre in the Morning," was allegedly assaulted outside the school last week by a man demanding his audio tape. Station officials said Wells was also followed as he drove away.
Rumors of Aguilar's involvement stemmed from an on-air caller to KABC's morning show, claiming he witnessed Aguilar order the attack, according to producer John Phillips. Police are investigating the incident.
"I know for a fact that none of my staff were involved, our school did not direct that in any way," said Marcos Aguilar, principal of Academia Semillas del Pueblo school.
The charter school, which caters to students of Mexican descent, has attracted increasing attention from conservative talk radio hosts like Doug McIntyre as tensions over immigration rise.
McIntyre has accused the school and Aguilar of having a separatist philosophy that excludes children of non-Mexican origin from applying.
The controversy heightened after the alleged assault. McIntyre said he received four telephone death threats and school officials recorded numerous phone messages left since the incident, including a bomb threat made against the school Friday.
The Los Angeles Unified School District sent staff to the school Wednesday as part of a routine evaluation with specific instructions to look for anything racist or discriminatory, district officials said.
"A conclusion on this is still weeks away," said Kevin Reed, chief legal counsel for the district.
District officials found nothing wrong during a preliminary visit to the school last, Reed said, adding that the district will consider new information and the police investigation.
Aguilar said parents at his school feel they are the victims - not the perpetrators - of racism.
"Our parents are not ignorant of the history of our community and its struggle for civil rights," Aguilar said. "We feel like we're in the middle of Alabama in the 50s."
The school in east Los Angeles is one of about 100 total charters in the district, and not the only one designed with a "culturally relevant curriculum" in mind, Reed said. Students are taught in English, Spanish, Mandarin and Nahuatl, an Aztec language.
Aguilar said he plans to apply to renew the school's charter, which was originally approved in 2001. All charters in LA Unified must be renewed after five years. Reed said the school has until January to reapply and the district would not make a decision on the school's long-term future before then.

If you're in the market for a bag of crack.
Ping Squared
If you don't mind human sacrifice, ripping a beating heart from a living prisoner's chest and eating it.
Yep, those Aztecs were a family-oriented, pacifist bunch with high moral standards.
LOL
I'm a regular listener to KABC 790 and Sandy Wells is easily the most mellow, polite person of the station's entire on-air staff. These Cesspool del Pueblo people are thugs and they'll be pulling out all stops to make everyone think he was the aggressor and they they were the victims.
It'll be interesting to see how that strategy works against a professional radio talker with hours a day on the air and a huge audience. In an American city. Well, nominally American.
On the other hand, the Cesspool del Pueblo side has their Cucuys and Piolins to spread the lies. Let's hope the police get some solid info that will force those responsible to pay up.
He looks like a gang member.
Do those two broadcast in English?
You might already know, but you can listen live to KABC radio from their website. They've been talking about this story, and other aspects of the alien issue, a lot lately.
Here are the academic reports of Academia Semillias del Pueblo. It has a lot of revealing information.

This link compares the school against other charter schools. There are charter schools in the area that are out performing Academia Semillias del Pueblo. A non charter school is out performing Mr.Aguilar's school:

Read State Senator George Runner's Letter to Roy Romer Superintendant of Los Angeles Unified School Disrict.
June 2, 2006
Dr. Roy Romer
Los Angeles Unified School District
333 S. Beaudry Ave., 24th Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90017
Dear Dr. Romer,
It has come to my attention that some questionable practices are occurring at the Academia Semillas del Pueblo charter school. Based on these reports, I am respectfully requesting that you investigate Academia Semillas del Pueblo charter school, which is a part of your school district.
As you know, LAUSD is the chartering authority for this school and so your district is responsible to hold the charter school accountable. You have full authority to revoke a charter under education code section 47607(c) if there are violations of the law.
Education Code 47607(c) states:
(c) A charter may be revoked by the authority that granted the charter under this chapter if the authority finds that the charter school did any of the following:
(1) Committed a material violation of any of the conditions, standards, or procedures set forth
in the charter.
(2) Failed to meet or pursue any of the pupil outcomes identified in the charter.
(3) Failed to meet generally accepted accounting principles, or engaged in fiscal mismanagement.
(4) Violated any provision of law.
(d) Prior to revocation, the authority that granted the charter shall notify the charter public school of any violation of this section and give the school a reasonable opportunity to cure the violation, unless the authority determines, in writing, that the violation constitutes a severe and imminent threat to the health or safety of the pupils.
Charter schools have proven to be very successful and I am in full support of them and their expansion. However, schools that may be abusing their authority and violating the law must be held accountable. I have also written a letter to Dr. Darline Robles, Los Angeles County Superintendent urging her to also investigate this school.
I urge you to take the appropriate steps as it is important to preserve the integrity of the law and not allow abuses to occur which ultimately hurts the students and the taxpayers.
Sincerely,
George C. Runner, Jr.
Senator, 17th District
