CA: District clears charter school catering to Mexican stude
CA: District clears charter school catering to Mexican students - Academia Semillas del Pueblo
Responding to allegations of discrimination, the school district has concluded that an elementary school catering to students of Mexican descent is following its charter, officials said Monday.
The district sent observers after Sandy Wells, a reporter working for KABC-AM, was allegedly assaulted outside the school Thursday by a man who demanded his audio tape. Station officials said Wells was also followed as he drove away. Police are investigating the incident.
"They have followed the charter that they wrote originally," said Kevin Reed, chief legal counsel for the district. "What we care about is that the curriculum is inclusive and not exclusive."
The school in east Los Angeles is one of about 100 charters in the district, Reed said. The school has until January to apply for renewal, and the district anticipates it will, Reed said.
The alleged assault has brought attention to the small school as immigration tensions rise across the country.
KABC-AM radio host Doug McIntyre has been one particularly vociferous critic. McIntyre has accused Academia Semillas del Pueblo school and its principal, Marcos Aguilar, of having a separatist philosophy that excludes students of non-Mexican origin from applying.
Repeated calls to Aguilar Monday seeking comment were not returned.
A school statement last week said it did not "discriminate against any student on the basis of ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity or disability."
Meanwhile Monday, a handful of parents protested at McIntyre's studio, saying the school had received bomb threats because of the show. McIntyre said he had also received death threats due to his criticisms.
The school aimed to provide children of immigrant and native families an education "founded upon their own language, cultural values and global realities," according to the charter application.
"The indigenous heart of our vision is a repossession of an identity denied from our children in standard schools," the application reads.
Students are taught in English, Spanish, Mandarin and Nahuatl, an Aztec language. The school teaches both traditional math curriculum and a separate Aztec math system.

It's sad that the school district allows this charter to remain in existance. They are just breeding home grown terrorists. Their decision probably reflects the views of some on the school district board. California seems to be a lost state. Can it be restored back to the way it was before the invasion?

Its not just "students of Mexican descent".
Its students of Mexican descent being indoctrinated, day after day, month after month, year after year - that this land was "originally' peopled with mexicans, that this land was stolen from them, and that other races are against them, and the only solution to this is to harm other races and take property by force.
That is the LaRaza socialist/communist message, and these kids are going to hear that from the day they are in school, until the day they graduate.
When they graduate, they will go onto a Mexican/Latino Studies department on a College campus, that will reinforce the message and their hatred of anything non-Mexican and/or non-Aztec.
Then they will become LaRaza and LaMecha leaders...
The Cycle continues...
The Los Angeles School District is one of the leaders in the nation on school and educational polilcies.
Whatever they decide and implement...is copied by THOUSANDS of School Districts across the country.
Let's be brutally honest: THe Only thing that matters is when you force Politicians to STOP and PAY Attention to You. Its time to think about ways to do that.

Well, I guess the way to really get at this school is for some non-hispanic family to apply for inclusion and get turned down and file a discrimination suit. I also hope the reporter files suit against the school to bring more public attention to what they're doing. The police investigation is worthless! They will find no wrongdoing.
