LA teachers are on the frontlines as Ice raids terrorize their students: ‘You are not alone’
The Guardian ^ | Jun19, 2025 | Helen Li in Los Angeles

Posted on 06/20/2025 5:20:21 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

One morning earlier this month, Melanie woke up to the news that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) had detained more than 40 migrant workers at a garment factory, as part of a series of raids across Los Angeles. Her high school, located downtown, is not too far away from where the arrests took place. She didn’t want to go to school – but still drove there to complete her final exams......

Embedded in their local communities, teachers are now becoming the biggest advocates and resource distributors for their students, helping them develop longer term resiliency at school and beyond.......

Throughout the Los Angeles United School District, which serves almost 400,000 students across more than 1,300 schools, there are 770 funded PSWs who provide mental health care and counseling onsite. However, not all schools can afford to have a PSW full-time or onsite; 95% are full-time in the second largest school district in the nation, according to an LAUSD spokesperson. The district also funds 171 student and family resource navigators, who provide referral and case management services within school-based health clinics......

A district spokesperson said that breakfast and lunch will be served at 582 schools Monday through Friday during summer school and afterschool programming through 26 July. More than 90,000 are enrolled in the summer school session so far. Starting later this month, the district has asked the Los Angeles regional food bank to supplement these meals with produce bags at different school sites that can be taken home and shared with the whole family......

“I’m Mexican American, my grandparents immigrated in the 1960s. I am fortunate enough to be documented and that’s not the case for a lot of our community,” she said. “It is the responsibility of those of us with documented status to protect the most vulnerable”

Tax dollars going down the rabbit hole. Illegals are getting free education, food, services, etc. at the expense of not only the city/state, but from the rest of the country.

Sounds to me like LA in particular has been totally INVADED by illegals for a long time and it has become something that has become just taken for granted by the US population there. How sad.

They crossed the border illegally. They steal services paid by taxpayers. Their countries of origin would never allow us to do this in the other direction.

Would providing meals to entire illegal families be considered abetting them?

No, it is up to you and your illegal family members to get your family members legally documented or leave the country.

I propose that those teachers be deported right along with the invaders.

If there is one thing the Guardian knows, it’s where to find fellow communists: LAUSD.

Capitalism's Impact on Mental Health: Marxist analysis suggests that capitalism can negatively impact mental well-being through mechanisms like alienation, exploitation, and inequality, potentially leading to increased stress, anxiety, and depression.

And they wonder why teachers are thought of as worse than used car salesmen.

Those teachers know that 40 students gone is the equivalent of two less teachers needed. The teachers do not care about the children. They care about their paychecks. Always has been.

Ow you have hit on the teachers union motive, no illegals in class means no dinero to the schools and less teachers…. or union dues going to the DNC.
