It's all culture and form of government. President Fox refuses to acknowledge that fact, he doesn't want to ruffle the feathers of the very wealthy elite class in Mexico that prefers things the way they are.
I say let them try.
From now on, your niece won't be protected by her close-minded Leftist security blanket consisting of the standard leftist drivel. She will have to defend her silliness with FACTS.
I've also sat out on the playground and observed the teachers get onto the boys for running and playing. It's like they want them to act like little girls.
I've sat in the teacher's lounge during lunch and have discussed the massive problem of illegal immigration. Some of the teachers chuckle and laugh about it, acting as though we have to take the whole world in.
I've had numerous classrooms tell me that I, as substitute, explain things better than their teacher. I've had some say that I teach better than their regular teacher. I've encountered fifth grade classes in which the students have yet to learn long division (I learned it in the third grade). My cousin's child (He's 10) came up to me and stated that man evolved from apes. Of course, evolutionary teaching has gained a foothold in the public schools. It's almost like the Discovery Channel theories that are presented as fact.
Getting back to the "Character Assemblies", they are a bad influence on the children of America. What I'm surprised about is that many of the teachers weren't alarmed about what was being said. It could be that they've been within the system so long, the lines of what is appropriate and what is not has blurred. I know that a relative of mine, who happens to work in the public schools, was very upset with me when I told her of the propaganda laced throughout the textbooks. She told me that I was looking to much into it. She got very angry. It's like I had said something insulting to her. Maybe she views the school sytem as her family, I don't know.
Lastly, public schools are not what they once were, even compared to when I was in elementary school fifteen to twenty years ago.
but, i'm slowly becoming a patriot for the Latinos who want CA,NM & AZ.
do you think we could give them the new england states?

I hope you are right PJ. However, I didn't get a LOT of e-mail at the addy I set up. I got three. I was surprized that MORE here didn't take the time to READ the two e-mails and then write to her. It is hard when you see something that appears so lengthy to read it all, but this is a very real threat to all of us. It wasn't all that hard to wade through it,..as it reads like a SCIENCE FICTION!!
I will be giving this thread a couple days,..then I'm going to compose my response to her. I will post it here first. I'd like to get the opinions of people I respect before hand. Thanks!!
From "El Plan de Aztlan":
I guess my comprehension skills are better than that of my neice. I see CLEARLY what their agenda is!!
Yet some of these very teachers find it offensive that we allow the name of God to be in our Pledge. I saw many in academia support that publicly. Where is the outrage over evolution? So many heads in the sand. And we wonder why our kids kill, and are not thriving as they should, both physically and emotionally. Makes me ill.
The vaunted "Mexican" posession of California was a joke: at the time of the Mexican-American war, there were approximately 7000 men, women and children who held loyalty to Mexico in California. By contrast, there were 130,000 aboriginals in southern California alone. Of course, that was about 100,000 fewer than had originally been there - they died off because of disease and oppression by the Spaniards (later "Mexicans" after the 1821 finish of the first Mexican revolution). So who exactly has their roots there? If you are a Yuman (Kameyaay) tribesmen, then you have a claim. Which is, of course, why they have reservations (the Kameyaay are mostly well to do now since they own casinos...).
In 1848 there were 30,000 Americans in the upper Sacramento river valley, and by 1850, over 250,000. The "Mexicans" - remnants of a failed attempt by the King of Spain to assert his territorial rights granted him by the Pope in the Treaty of Tordesillas - were outnumbered 10 to 1 by Americans, and by a similar number of aboriginal tribes. So, umm, just where was this mythical Aztlan? Answer: NOWHERE but in the minds of a resentful group that has failed over and over throughout their awful 500 year history.
By the way - currently the Tohono O'odham tribe in Arizona is pretty upset about illegals coming across their land. This has confused many American leftists, thinking that they would immediately join up with their Mexican "brothers". This is laughable, because one of the major reasons that reservations tend to be on this side of the border, was that no matter how bad the Americans were, they were infinitely better than life under the depraved Mexican feudal hierarchy. Mexican massacres of aboriginal tribes are well known and documented, and the Apaches, Pima's, Navajo and Tohono O'odham ("papago", a Mexican name they hated) all remember that.
