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.

I propose that those teachers be deported right along with the invaders.
Ugh The Guardian. It’s a global joke run delusional children
If there is one thing the Guardian knows, it’s where to find fellow communists: LAUSD.

How many teachers are illegals? There’s a lesson fer ya...
