Dozens of California students and parents are stranded in Afghanistan after taking a summer trip to the country.
More than 20 students and 16 parents from the Cajon Valley Union School District in El Cajon, Calif., visited Afghanistan on summer vacation. Now they are among thousands of people who are waiting to leave the country amid the chaotic U.S. withdrawal that has caused political unrest across the nation, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Cajon Valley Superintendent David Miyashiro alerted school board members on Tuesday that he would be meeting with Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) to discuss the situation, the Times noted.
I’m not too surprised they are from El Cajon. It has a population of Iraqi immigrants. Why wouldn’t it also have Afghan immigrants? Obviously this isn’t a normal summer trip. This is people visiting family. Why? Bc Family. I knew a family that visited Lebanon every year to see family. The reunion was up in the mountains and they must have figured it was not near to any chaos. Why they thought it was ok to take kids through Beirut to get there, I have no idea.
Europe used to be a destination but Afghanistan?
Let the person who planned this trip stay there - insane IF true …
Afganis visiting home.
But when I do, I ride on Buber.
If ISIS gets them we'll get to watch the boys being beheaded...
The brass says 'nothing is perfect'... and we 'can't know exact numbers'... but we're getting out hundreds of thousands of Afghans... and Homeland (the same people who dumped covid infected illegals into red states in the middle of the night) will 'vet' the Afghans...Yep, they'll 'vet' the Afghans...

On a lighter note the CIA chief has a good relationship with the Chinese - and maybe he can get the Chinese to intervene with the Taliban to save the people we can't save... Or maybe Hunter can help us... he has a good relationship with the Chinese too.
Sorry, my giveashit meter is pegged on this one.
Do stupid things and win stupid prizes. Afghanistan has not been a place to visit since the 70s. Actions do have consequences.
Why?
You're not letting the USA off with that remark, are you?
What, did they not have a walking tour on the molten lava of an erupting volcano? The swim in the killer whale tank in a seal suits was cancelled? A school trip to Afghanistan had to suffice.
Not victim blaming, but this group lacks some serious wisdom.
No, but we are not Australia yet.
Bad idea.
Anyone who takes a “summer vacation” in a war zone pretty much deserves to be stranded there. As “refugees” they should have known that the place is dangerous even in the best of times.
Afghanistan, in 2021, for a parents & students “summer trip abroad”??
I say let the kids come back to the U.S. but not the idiot parents who approved the trip and went along. They deserve a sentence of living under the Taliban for the rest of their lives.
Nappa IS NOT Northern California, it is in the the FREAK ZONE of central California by San FranShitsco and Sarcracrapo.
The North State (THE GREAT STATE OF JEFFERSON) doesn’t really start until you get to Butte and Glen counties!
“Jihadi Jen” will insist that they are exchange students and “want to stay in Afghanistan”....
That was Uncle Sam's gift to many of my fellow graduates in 1968.
The stupidity of Caltards never ceases to amaze me.
