In a move that the Mexican government itself couldn’t have imagined, the [...]]]> I’ve said before that remedies for discrimination usually involve discrimination against someone or something else to rectify the problem. I couldn’t have come up with a better example if I’d made it up. Don’t look for any content of your character here.

In a move that the Mexican government itself couldn’t have imagined, the feds, courtesy of the Department of Education are launching an investigation regarding allegations the the Los Angeles Unified School District violated the civil rights of English language learners. You heard that right, the LAUSD is going to be hammered for not pandering enough to illegal alien students-at the expense of everybody else.

Citing poor test scores of blacks and Latinos, the DOE suspects that not enough resources are being diverted away from whites and Asians to bring the former up to speed. Funny, it was they who included blacks as English learners.

Federal analysts will review how English learners are identified and when they are judged fluent enough to handle regular course work. They’ll examine whether English learners have qualified, appropriately trained teachers. And they’ll look at how teachers make math and science understandable for students with limited English.

What if they aren’t fluent enough? If they can’t speak English, then it’s up to the parents (many of who do not speak English either) to get those kids in an English immersion class so they can handle regular course work. It isn’t the responsibility for the LAUSD to educate Mexican children. And lets face it folks, this is L.A.; that’s exactly who we’re talking about. And what do they mean when they say make math and science understandable? That’s code for dumb it down. Barry can talk about education and math and science all he wants. This is what he’s actually doing about it.

The DOE is targeting schools on the West side of the San Fernando Valley. Anyone who lives in the area knows that the East side is mostly Latino, and what whites and Asians are left in the valley tend to be on the West side. Those are the schools they’re going after. Those are the ones with the biggest disparity in success rates between races. Yes, it’s all about la raza.What they’re looking to do is divert resources away from kids that actually can speak English and divert them to the illegal alien kids. And who’s civil rights are being violated there? As it is, English speaking kids are forced to slow down and hang back while the slower English learners try to catch up.

And if the dropout numbers are any indicator, they tend not to catch up. But those aren’t just English learners. Latinos and blacks (sorry, if you’re from Africa my apologies, but most black Americans are not) as a whole have a high dropout rate, English or no English. How do they explain that?

I remember Bill O’Reilly had a guest on his show and they discussed this very issue, but it was regarding the black community. According to his guest, to fly right and do well in school was tantamount to acting white, and the peer pressure to be just the opposite was a prime reason for the high dropout rates in the black community. That may be the case among Latinos as well, but there is the language factor. I remember seeing an interview with Fernando Valenzuela, the former Dodger great, who as a player, didn’t speak English. He now calls games for the Dodger’s Spanish audience, but now, he does speak English. When asked how long it took him learn the language, he said about a year. I’m sure he wasn’t a Rhodes scholar by then but he did speak the language. The illegal alien kids can’t take a year out and learn the language? Better yet, they can’t go home to their native country and get an education there, and do some good for their country?

No. Instead, border crossers dump their kids into Americans schools and expect the United States to not only educate the kids, but pay for to boot.

The LAUSD is about to layoff another 4000 employees. Surely teachers will be in that mix. What resources do they have to teach non-English speaking kids? The official numbers are about 1/3 are in this category, but anyone living here knows that the number of English deficient kids in the LAUSD is much higher. They just don’t have the resources to pander to them. And we’re talking about the most welcoming defacto Mexican school district in the country. If they can’t do it, imagine the rest of the country. Make no mistake about it; the LAUSD sucks, but the feds are focusing on ramping up the crown jewel of their self-destruction.

They better find a way to keep it going though. 1/4 of their budget comes from the Feds and they risk it all if they don’t steal from Peter to pay Paul. LAUSD, a corrupt, poorly run defacto Mexican district is in flames, and this just might finish them off. If you have kids in school, don’t get too comfortable. If the feds can pull this on the LAUSD, imagine what they can do in a town near you. Another stake going in the ground in preparation for the amnesty wave.

Mayor Antonio Mecha Villaraigosa, the corrupt, racist, lech, ex(?) gang member that is now in [...]]]> We can blame the corrupt politicians in Los Angeles for the city’s woes all we want, but the fact is, if the citizens hadn’t voted for them in the first place, we wouldn’t be in this current downward spiral.

Mayor Antonio Mecha Villaraigosa, the corrupt, racist, lech, ex(?) gang member that is now in his second term as Mayor of Los Angeles, is doing his part to perpetuate the global warming myth, and at the same time help drive another dagger into the back of the city. The latest scam is a proposal to add a $2.50 monthly surcharge to Department of Water and Power energy bills in an effort to move towards renewable sources of energy. Nothing wrong with exploring those avenues, but this thing stinks from the top down.

The DWP, already awash in over $100 million in excess funds, are having those funds transferred to the general fund. The city is broke, and it will take money wherever it can get it. This leaves the DWP deficient in funds to accomplish the mayor’s green initiative. They have decided (not surprisingly) to turn to the taxpayer to pick up the slack. Never mind the sweetheart union deal that Villaraigosa worked out with the DWP, courtesy the city taxpayer, now he wants to hit us all again with a surcharge to take the place of the money that was raided by the city government. And he may just get it. Remember, this is the same block of voters that handed itself a 10% phone tax thinking it was a tax decrease. You can’t make this up. This is the same block that voted in Villaraigosa twice, even as his approval numbers were in the tank. This same block is willing to shoot itself in the foot again, despite living in a city with one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation.

How easy is it to turn these voters upside down? Very easy. Villaraigosa’s goons did some polling to gauge voter reaction to being hoodwinked out of more of their dollars once again. The results had to make them smile.

…In the same line of questions, only 52% favored a surcharge or fee to cover the cost of converting the DWP from coal to renewable sources.

In another part of the survey, however, 64% of respondents said they were willing to pay a $2.50 surcharge to move the DWP off of coal, pollsters said.

Yes, the voters were against it before they were for it. All they have to do is make the language so confusing that the voters won’t even understand what they’re being hit with. It shouldn’t be that difficult. After all, they successfully did just that with the phone tax. Not only that, the $2.50 number was just an estimate. It could be much higher.

If the voters of Los Angeles want to have their pockets picked once again so Villaraigosa can bankroll his buddies with some undoable green scam, then there may be nothing any of us can do about it. Unfortunately, they will take the rest of us down with the ship.

For those not familiar with the story, Bob Kellar, Santa Clarita council member [...]]]> First you silence the opposition, and then ram home an unpopular agenda. sound like a familiar game plan? You knew this was coming. Certainly Bob Kellar knew it was coming, and the reconquistas are showing their utter stupidity with their actions.

For those not familiar with the story, Bob Kellar, Santa Clarita council member attended a Minuteman rally recently, and made a comment that has been taken so far out of context, that the ethno-whiners look like a bunch of single digit melon heads.

[k]ellar said that if his support for an America with one flag and one language — English — leads some to call him racist, then he’s a proud racist.

It’s the racist part that the ethno-goons heard, and nothing but that. Now, the Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition have filed a complaint against Kellar for what they see as a racist comment. I Googled them but found nothing. The communist front group Answer LA was the first result. Probably a coincidence. Not only did these goons file a complaint with the SC city council, but they also filed complaints with the U.S. Department of Justice, the state attorney general and the Los Angeles County district attorney. Not sure how far they will get with the Los Angeles DA, but ethno-hoods like Eric Holder and Attorney General Moonbeam Brown are strong allies. It’s hard to believe that even they would touch this though, considering how warped Kellar’s statement has become. These buffoons weren’t able to find any actual racism, so they’ve basically filed a complaint against the word racism.

It’s crystal clear that what Kellar said had nothing to do with race. If this amnesty front group is just too obtuse to grasp that, then they have no business filing a complaint. I think they do realize it though. Kellar is a supporter of the Minuteman Project, and he’s just the kind of target these clowns are looking for. I don’t know what exactly they’re bitching about in the complaint, because clearly, Kellar said nothing regarding race other than if that’s your definition then I am one. That’s a far cry from actually making racist comments or engaging in some kind of racist activity. The man was quoting Teddy Roosevelt. This group is attacking Roosevelt as well, because it was his comments that initially drew the charge of racism against Bob Kellar.

I’ve talked before about the many reconquista soldiers working tirelessly to erase the Southern border and flood the United States with millions of illegal aliens, who have allegiance to another country. These are a few more of those goons, and make no mistake about it, there are many more, and that is what they do. They have no other function other than to remove that border, all in the name of la raza. This isn’t about immigrants in general. This is about a specific group of Latino reconquistas, hell bent on destroying the United States. They run in small groups like this, they hold public office, they work for lobbying firms, they teach in our schools. If you think these clowns are searching for that melting pot utopia, you’re wrong. Por la raza, todo, fuera la raza…nada. “For the race, everything, outside the race, nothing. That is what these people are.

It was a peaceful, almost kumbaya type of event on the organizing side of it. Had I put it together, it probably would have taken on a more strident tone. There were some angry people there. What do I know, I’m no organizer. I understand mob mentality though. Nothing like a group of angry people gathered together.This group though, looked like a bunch of good folks who have had it with Washington.

Just in case there were any provacateurs in the crowd though, L.A.’s finest were on the scene.

The crowd was a little smaller than I thought it might be, but I guess it was a pretty good turnout for liberal, loon-filled California (copped that from Chicago Ray).

Well, I got to meet some like-minded folks, those of us that have had it with the wild spending, the fiscal chicanery, the tilt of this country to the extreme left, and the taxation without representation. And brother we have no representation.

Looks like these tea parties are gaining some momentum. And you lefty loons can laugh all you want. These are Americans taking their country back. Pull up a chair and see how it’s done.

After the riots that have now come to define professional sport championship celebrations, the Los Angeles Lakers held their obligatory [...]]]> This isn’t the first time he’s been booed publicly. And why not? This guy is one of most unpopular political figures in California. The problem is that he’s still around. How could this be?

After the riots that have now come to define professional sport championship celebrations, the Los Angeles Lakers held their obligatory thank you rally a few days later at the venerable Los Angeles Coliseum. Fans packed the stadium to see the Lakers, and the Lakers only. Well, the festivities were to start off by having Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa say a few words. Sure. The mayor lauding the newly crowned champs. What’s wrong with that? What was wrong is nobody wanted to hear the mayor. At the mention of his name, boos rained down throughout the stadium. Why would they boo the mayor?

Antonio Villaraigosa, who’s real name is Tony Villa, rode into his second term as Los Angeles mayor on a wave of voter apathy. In one of the lowest turnouts ever, the mayor barely avoided a runoff with the second closest challenger, Walter Moore, despite the fact that media coverage for opposing candidates was virtually non-existent, and what little coverage there was heavily favored the incumbent mayor. In fact, up until a few days before the election, you would be hard pressed to even realize there was an election at all!

I’ve said before that the media provides more exposure for free than any amount of campaign dollars a candidate could spend. The multiple candidates that opposed Villa didn’t get that coverage.

So now Los Angeles is stuck-once again, with the racist lech that changed his name to hide his gang past. Yes, this guy actually has plans to run for governor, and if the amnesty nightmare actually comes to fruition, a run at the presidency. That’s right. A vehement, anti-American Reconquista that believes the American Southwest was stolen from Mexico. Imagine if this guy became President of the United States. Luckily at the present time, he’s not very popular. But then again, the amnesty hasn’t passed yet…
