Luis Gaytan, the 5-year-old son of Mexican immigrants who speak Spanish at home, was so terrified by kindergarten that he would barely talk — prompting classmates to tease that he didn't have a tongue. In the last two months, at Granada Elementary Community Charter, Luis has gained a growing command of the language in a class of students with a mixed range of English ability. His father, Jorge, is convinced that his son is learning English more quickly because he hears it every day from more-advanced classmates. But Luis — and thousands of other Los Angeles Unified students — is being moved into new classes with those at a similar language level under an order that has sparked a storm of protest. In recent weeks, a group of southeast L.A. principals have mounted a rare challenge to district policy, teachers have flooded their union office with complaints, and parents have launched protest rallies and petition drives urging L.A. Unified to postpone the class reorganizations until next year. "Kids with little or no English are going to be segregated and told they're not good enough for the mainstream," said Cindy Aranda-Lechuga, a Granada mother of a kindergartner who gathered 162 parent signatures seeking a postponement and spoke against the policy at an L.A. Board of Education meeting last week. "Kids learn from their peers, and they're not going to be able to do that anymore."
These are idiot Undemocratic Progressives fucking themselves with their own stupidity. The idiots at the national level are the same idiots at the state level are the same idiot at the district level. They are each other, Undemocratic Idiots; there is not a single Republican in this royal circle fuck. Take the stupidity of Darrell Steinberg and Gavin Newsome, mix them, multiply that stupidity; then spread it around Undemocratic Politicians nationwide. This is what passes for government in the USA.
Read the whole article and get a good feel for that 230 year racist streak in the Undemocratic Party.
