Happy May Day!

Yup, it's the day we hold the Celebration for Illegal Migration. Big doings in Los Angeles...

"The emphasis is to stay in school, get your education and participate in any demonstration you want to after school," said Dan Isaacs, Los Angeles Unified School District chief operating officer. "To the degree that we can cause students to remain on campus and discuss the issues, that's our primary goal.

"But if students walk out, school officials plan to march with them — walkie-talkies and cellphones in hand — to help protect them. In addition, buses will be on call to take students back to their respective schools after the march is over, officials said.

"We honor their 1st Amendment rights, even though that gets in the way of their schooling," said Richard Chavez, a high school director for local District 5, which encompasses much of East Los Angeles. "This is a lesson on civics."

Civics lesson indeed..how about a geography lesson? and, and what ever happened to Truant Officers? Just asking......
