My school is crazy.

[Grandiagod]

So I live in Southern California where theres tons of Mexicans, nothing wrong with that, it just sets up the story. At my high school today a couple hundred students left in the middle of class and started marching around the whole school waving the mexican flag in protest of the new immagration bill going around. The whole place went into lockdown for about half an hour to keep more students from going out and protesting. Then at lunch they gathered again and the school officials actually provided them speakers and a microphone to organize a peaceful protest. Weird no?

California is the most f-ed up state in the nation... or Arkansas. Depending on the leftist's or rightist's opinion.

Whorli can give plenty of f-ed up CA stories from her plethora of years in the Valley.

[Grandiagod]

Yeah, but I'm pretty liberal so I like it here.

Arkansas is the only state that scored a B or higher on the national fitness program tests, thank you.

PS: that first line reminded me of a teacher I met at a job fair, who assured me that, even though the school was about 65% Hispanic, discipline problems were very low.

And @ Kratos: I'm pretty sure the immigration bill regards LEGAL immigration.

[LordKratosAurion]

I don't see the point, only reasons they would freak out would be
A) They were illegal immagrants themselves.
B) They were expecting friends and/or family to show up illegally.
C) They just wanted to stir up trouble.
Feh.

Actually no, it proposes to redefine illegals to felons and to restrict hiring of illegals. Half of the people where I live are probably illegal immigrants including a lot of those kids parents.

i go to birmingham high school and there have been 4 lockdowns in the last 2 days cus of all the kids that walked out

[dancingmaniac3]

Wow, i live in Texas, on the border of mexico for all you geographically challenged, and nothing like that is going on down here. I'm mexican, so of course i'm a bit offended by the racist jokes, but its the internet rofl. But seriously, i don't see how a school can prevent a protest from spreading, then aid the protest in being more effective. something wrong with that picture...

Hate to say it, but its people like them that give mexicans a bad name.

You sure about that? I know it would be considered a felony to AID in the bringing of an illegal over here, but I think just being illegal won't make you a felon.

My friend went to Mexico over spring break. She couldn't find her passport, so she snuck over the border in the trunk of her parent's van. She's not Mexican, however. :Q

Would it be considered a felony to sneak back over the border if you've already gone across?

[Ephemera]

I used to live just outside of Vegas. The school I went to was pretty darn messed up I would say.. but in a good way. Compared to people in the midwest, people are really open about what they believe there.

[mattyohh]

I live in Australia, but we have the same thing here except our mexicans are asains a middle easteners and they come here in these boats which are old barges falling apart, and of course they sink. so our coast guards go out and fish them out then we bring them back top the mainland and stick them in detention centers in the middle of the desert. Of course they all file for asylum claim persicusion if they go home so then the government as to interveiw each of them personally and determine if they're actual refugees or jsut que jumpers. then they get deported back to what ever place they came from. the ones that are given assylum go to live somewhere, and by some where, i mean where i work in sunnybank. so they all come into the store i work at cant speak a word of english and yell at me and call me racist when i ask them to repeat what they said becuase i cant understand a word of what they are saying.

but i guess you guys have it worse with your crazy mexicans.
(we have a peruvian guy at school, we call him a cheap rip off of a mexican)

[Mindfields]

Wow matty, it sounds like immigrants over in Australia are more uptight than they are here in America. If there's a smirk on your face and you ask them to repeat it a 5th time, then yeah you'll get called a racist, even though it's not really discrimination, just defiling.
All the Mexicans at my school act Black.
All the Blacks at my school act White, but listen to rap.
I like the Black kids at my school 8).

Oh man, that must have freaked out the Japanese exchanged students.
