Future voters of tomorrow. IMHO the qualifications for voting should be raised.

You mean it isn't all the teachers' fault? (sarc)

The egalitarian quest for a utopia always ends in a dystopia. No personal moral standards or beliefs results in an ungovernable society that self destructs over a long period of time.

Why are his phylacteries hanging from his waistband? Don't they mean tsitzit?

But he he was informed that the day would not be earmarked because it
might be "offensive to Asian students."


I'm sure it would have ticked off the Chinese kids who's great-grandparents
suffered along with the AVG, were persecuted (and killed) for assissting
Doolittle's Raiders, and finally got substantive aid from the USA after
Pearl Harbor.

The rabbi would have only gotten support if he'd run the event bashing
white America for detaining Japanese (and Americans of Japanese descent)
during WWII.
But one positive sidebar to that would have been this: he could have
explained why the National Guard building at Wishire Blvd. and
San Vicente is named after Sadao Munemori.

Our Mecha-member mayor should be told about this. Then he can have the pleasure of laughing at the stupid gringos who elected him.

Sad article. Genuinely sad.

As a sort of relief, I offer the solace of the poet's muse:

Dark and lonely on a summer's night.

Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.

Watchdog barking. Do he bite?

Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.

Slip in his window. Break his neck.

Then his house I start to wreck.

Got no reason. What the heck?

Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.

C-I-L my land lord!

Shifren writes of how he was deliberately ignored by his administrators in regards to his repeated requests for an American flag to be put in his classroom so that the pledge of allegiance could be recited.

If it meant that much to him, he could have bought one of his own and displayed it. If he didn't want to spend the money, I bet the local VFW would have donated one.

I'm trying to find it, but there was a similar article, probably in Frontpagemag as well, about a person that had worked on the Gore campaign. Well he enlisted in some program to go into the urban schools in Washington D.C. He left a lot less optimistic than when he went in. I think he actually got sued for a lot of money by one of the parents. The students were out of control. You couldn't do anything to correct them. The parents were violent and rascist. The school administration did nothing to help. It was a terrible story much like the one you've posted here. If anyone has that story please post, or send it to me by FR mail.

But it was school administrator Evelyn Mahmud who was ultimately promoted by the school district and became his arch nemesis.

My brother once taught in an inner-city middle school. The school district offered a bonus to the school that showed the greatest improvement in student attendance. Although several of his students skipped class every day, my brother's classes still showed 100% attendance. The principal simply marked the absent student as present. See how easy it is to get a promotion?

Having grown up in the SF Valley and went to Los Angeles Inner City schools, I am not at all surprised.

I am so glad that we homeschool.

"He also proposed to an administrator that December 7th, 1941 be marked as a day of remembrance for Pearl Harbor on the heels of month long celebrations for Cinco De Mayo and Martin Luther King's birthday. But he he was informed that the day would not be earmarked because it might be "offensive to Asian students."

More of the "Joys of Diversity." Let's all celebrate.

LAUSD administrators are the real problem behind the entire school system. They are the waste of money, this misappropriation of power, the bad judgment, the atmosphere of low expectations, and the tenure of incompetent teachers. NO ONE CARES and NOTHING will be done about this. The Teachers' Union protects the administrators.

Your article ties in nicely with an earlier posting about home ownership by race.

The article was bewailing lower median incomes and home ownership for blacks and Latinos.

Of course, they never addressed the behavioral issues that affect success, like GETTING AN EDUCATION!!!!!
