It may not be a shock to find out that there is bias in the school system on the issue of immigration. On this hallowed Cesar Chavez Day it may be worthy to look beyond stupid school tricks like sending buses to pick up protesting students.
Lets look at the curriculum being advocated here in Los Angeles by LA County School Superintendent Darlene Robles. Robles is co-chair of the Villagarosia Education Committee and of course has a Doctorate from USC.
Her office has put together a 90 page help for teachers. The intro claims that they are to “seek to understand and listen to all sides equally.” Page 10 then calls for teaching that is "culturally sensitive" and "anit-bias and pro-justice". However the next page starts the material from the Cesar E Chavez Foundation. Which includes giving time for students to plan protests or action plans. Page 19 has a comparison sheet for "support and resistance" to immigration reform with Government, Business, churches and workers on one side and no one listed on the other.
The other material all discuss social justice from a liberal or leftist perspective. Material from the ACLU is there. The good news it is gives contact info for outside groups. Like the United Farm Workers!!
Not one resource or story about trauma centers being shut down in LA or about gangs that prey on neighborhoods. No mention of security. That is "social justice" for you. Plenty of ‘"anti-bias" here.
LA schools message is clear. No discipline AND no education. Just indoctrination and protest. Your tax dollars at work. See the propoganda here. Have a Merry Chavez Day.

How dare they leave out the MS-13 Gang membership application from the packet.

Mass. and Maine have Patriot’s Day, a nice easily celebrated holiday for all. But here we feel the need to have a nice divisive holiday that only some celebrate, or even understand the meaning of.
