When that guy said "Parents aren't fooled," he perhaps didn't realize that the parents (who are largely former or current illegal aliens) that will be sending their kids to this school won't really be paying for it. The trick isn't on them, it's on us.

No worries...the feds will bail out CA. It’s just a matter of time. After all, CA is too big to fail.

Right - and they want us to ‘get over 9/11’ while they name a high school after Robert F. Kennedy...

They may, but it will fail.

California’s day of reckoning is coming and nobody is going to stop it.

For 4,200 students...

Bureaucrats in action - with other people's money.

Is it any mystery why we're broke?

That’s almost $140K/student. With a 5% interest-only mortgage, that’s $7K/student/year, just for the building, not including maintenance and utilities. No wonder California’s broke.

Tar and feathers should be making a comeback about now.

Hey, it cost a lot of money to turn young skulls full of
mush into good little neo-Marxist Obots.

According to the school's home page, it will "embody Kennedy's social justice legacy." There you go.

“New buildings are nice, but when they’re run by the same people who’ve given us a 50 percent dropout rate, they’re a big waste of taxpayer money.....”

Good summation if there ever was one.

Now if only they can figure out how to get the students to school and back without subjecting them to a hail of gang-banger gunfire.

L.A. = Beirut.

as the former Ambassador Hotel, where the Democratic presidential contender was assassinated in 1968.

With an eye-popping price tag of $578 million,

1. They already had a building and it still cost that much?
2. I wonder how much it would cost to turn the Texas Schoolbook Depository into a school.

Will this be like the South LA hospital called the MLK hospital

that cost half a billion dollars in 1984

and stands empty today.

Do you know why?

I’ll bet you can guess but you will not find the answer on Google...
