I just learned that my son won’t get a Junior High Diploma from the LAUSD nor be allowed to walk in the ceremony because I homeschooled him in the sixth grade. I didn’t use an offsite academy and don’t have “official” grades. What I want to know is, are illegal alien kids with no proof of schooling allowed to walk in the ceremony?

Man oh man, have I almost seen it all with this illegal immigration thing or what? I’m so tired of these people coming here and DEMANDING that they get better treatment, not equal but better treatment than the citizens of this country! I had to home school my children because LAUSD would not help me with my two disabled American children until I notified a advocacy group called T.A.S.K. and finally after years of struggling got home hospital (In a totally different district) for our daughter. My son was left by the wayside. They are corrupt all right.
I will do all I can to get some kind of order in this country with the illegals. I’m sick and tired of them leaching off us tax payers, especially when many of us aren’t doing that well finaincially ourselves right now. And to make matters worse? I live in San Fernando Valley which is Mexican Row now and they do not respect us Americans. They mock us! My husbands family have been living in this house since 1960 and it was a nice middle class neighborhood. Not anymore. I’m part latina and grew up in Venice area and went to LA schools. We were always taught english in our home and at school. I don’t remember this illegal thing ever being a problem until recent years. As far as I’m concerned they already have to many “rights” here and I want something done about it! I refuse to keep pushing 1 for english and my husband, who is more than qualified for the positions he applies for isn’t, according to these companies now which require you to be Bi-Lingual! What is this country coming to? I want America BACK!

You know it is bad when we have more Mexican National Flags flying than US.

They’re integrating Mexico into the United States. How much more clear can it be?

AARRGH!!!!!!!! Excuse me? My grandparents and any immigrant who came here before the liberal loons took over learned English- on their own- as a matter of pride and survival. They came here to BE AMERICANS!
School needs to be taught in ENGLISH! (Unless it is a foreign language course) Immersion is the quickest way.

BTW I have a huge beef with all of this b*s* in LA. English is not my first language. I did not learn English until I began first grade. I spent the majority of my earlier years in Mexico visiting my grandmother. I grew up in an all white middle class neighborhood with no other children. There was no Kinder when I went to school…no English as a second language garbage either. In other words, I didn’t speak much at the beginning of the year, but I valued education enough to pay very close attention to what the teacher was saying. It was not hard. It is called immersion. It works. I didn’t repeat any grade, and graduated early from high school.
Bilingual education has been the death of education in this country. It creates the sense of being a victim that is entitled. I taught at the college level for 26 years. I remember students who came to class with the attitude that I must cater to them in Spanish. The audacity still cracks me up. lol My class was taught in French and I would quickly show them the door if they wished not to work. Quite frankly, I always wondered how they managed to take the SAT? Some of my students were brilliant, but they most certainly had become trained to believe that they were entitled or pandered to in Spanish. I have always equated this with being enslaved. I would tell them, you don’t see the ACT or the SAT being given in Spanish, do you?
I don’t believe that I ever had anyone drop the class after being lectured on language skills. What MECHA and La Raza should be worried about is how this pandering enslaves these children for life. If you can’t read or write in English, you will not be able to move forward in life easily. It has become tiresome to listen to people complain about the “white” man.

Do you realize that our universities give in state tuition to these kids from Mexico?

I remember a Dateline program two years ago that had video of the children from Mexico crossing the bridges daily to go to school in the US. DHS is told to back off.
